What type of tissue is very metabolically active; it may be used for many functions including storage of starch, water for turgidity, and air spaces for gas exchange, i

The stem contains this meristem tissue that can divide to form new xylem or phloem

modified form of parenchyma with extra cellulose at the corners of the cells for strength

Give three reasons plants require transport systems?

near the upper surface of the leaf; containing many chloroplasts

In leaves CO2 enters the leaf through this pore

Describe two features of xylem that are different from phloem

These are links between living cells with continuous cytoplasm

Describe three characteristics of dicotyledonous plants

Waterproof component of stems and leaves that helps to protect the organ from drying out and from infection

layer of cells, one to several cells thick, just inside the endodemis next to the vascular tissue

tissue specialised for photosynthesis with large air spaces between the cells
