  1. Plant tissues How do we recognise them?

  2. Where could this possibly come from?

  3. Meristematic tissue • Meristematic tissue is composed of immature cells that grow, divide & differentiate giving rise to the other types of plant tissues. • Eg. The root tip of an onion

  4. Where might we find these cells?

  5. Surface of a leaf • Note the guard cells.

  6. What tissue type has this feature?

  7. Xylem • Long tubes • Note the pits • Transport of water, dissolved solutes. • Support

  8. What do we call these features?

  9. Vascular bundles (cross section) Phloem – • Long tubes composed of sieve tubes and companion cells. • Transport of sugar. Xylem

  10. Parenchyma What are these?

  11. What are those ringlets? • Parenchyma is a simple tissue. It makes up the bulk of plant body. • Xylem- those stained red are showing the lignin in xylem.
