Plant Tissues

A. Different groups of plant tissues

Cross section young dicotStem

Cross section of secondary tissues

Cross section of primary tissues of 1. epidermis
mature dicot stem 2. vascular tissue of mature dicot stem
3. Phloem tissue
4. Xylem tissue
5. Ground tissue
6. In monocots, vascular bundles are scattered throughout the
ground tissue, with many at the periphery and decreasing
numbers toward the center of the stem. By contrast, the
vascular bundles in dicots are arranged in a single ring toward
the periphery of the stem, with none in the center.

14. In monocots, the stele has a central pith, which is
surrounded by a cylinder of xylem, surrounded by a cylinder
of phloem. By contrast in the stele of a dicot, the xylem is a
star-shaped, centrally located column with strands of
phloem located between the arms or point of the xylem.

Question to Answer:
BIOL 1100 Activity No. 5 Plant Tissues
1. Illustrate the developmental system of plants.

2. Discuss the difference between primary and secondary growth of plants.

Primary growth refers to the increase in length of the shoot and the root. It is the outcome of cell
division in the shoot apical meristem. The tissue obtaining their origin from apical meristem are known as
primary permanent tissue. The fundamental parts of plant body develops form primary permanent tissue thus
cause growth in length and slight thickness in shoot part of the plant illustrates its primary growth.

Meanwhile, secondary growth is characterized by an increase or girth of the plant. Like the primary, it is
also caused by cell division except that is located in the lateral meristem. It occurs due to the activity of vascular
cambium and cork cambium. They grow horizontally and require more water. To fill the requirements of water
in addition to primary vascular tissues, secondary tissues are produced which add to the thickness of stem and
root.
