LAB # 11

TISSUE
Date: ____________________________

A tissue consists of a group of structurally and functionally similar cells and their intercellular
material. In vascular plants, such as angiosperms and gymnosperms, the vascular tissues are of
two kinds: water-transporting xylem and food-transporting phloem. Primary xylem and phloem are
arranged in vascular bundles that run the length of the plant from roots to leaves. In this lab we
will be drawing the cross sections of a leaf and a dicot leaf. Pay close attention of the different
type of cells that make up the tissue.
