A supportive living tissue that is found in the leaves and stalks of flowers, and fruits.
Collenchyma
A type of dermal tissue which is the outermost layer of cells in some parts of plants.
Epidermis
A supportive tissue that contains mature died cells and serves as the main supporting tissue of woody plants.
Sclerenchyma
Type of meristematic tissue which is found in grass at the point where a leaf or side branch develops.
Intercalary Meristem
The vascular tissue that conducts (transports) water and dissolved mineral salts from the roots into the leaves.
Xylem
The tissue composed of cells that secrete some chemicals such as nectar, latex, resins, alkaloids, etc.
Glandular Tissue
Type of meristematic tissue which is located laterally within the stem or root.
Lateral Meristem
True or False?
The cells of permanent tissues have thin cell walls and large vacuoles.
False
A type of permanent tissues that store starch (food storage).
Parenchyma
True or False?
Trichomes are the cells of epidermis.
True
A thick, impermeable layer surrounding the stem of woody plants is called .....
Periderm
Long and cylindrical cells of xylem that are stacked one on top of each other.
Tracheids
Elongated cells of phloem that have pores (sieve plates) at the end.
Sieve tubes
The cells of phloem that transport food in and waste out of sieve tubes.
Companion cells
True or False?
Permanent tissues consist of cells that lose their ability to divide and can only enlarge. For example; the intercalary meristem.
False
The vascular tissue that transports the product of photosynthesis (glucose) from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
Phloem
True / False?
The cells of epidermis are tightly packed together.
True
A modified parenchyma tissue in which the cells are filled with air. For example; water hyacinth.
Aerenchyma
Rows of elongated cells of xylem that are stacked on top of each other.
Vessels
Type of meristematic tissue which is located at the tip of the root and the shoot.
Apical Meristem

Dermal
True or False?
The cells of meristematic tissue have large nuclei and large vacuoles.
False
What is the smallest unit of organism?
Cell
Type of plant tissue that consists of continuously dividing cells.
Meristematic Tissue
A group of cells that have same and specific functions is called ....
