Lesson 1
TISSUES
Tissues are group of cells
performing the same function and
having a common origin.
 Plant Tissue

Meristematic Tissues Permanent Tissues

(Carry water & minerals) (Carry prepared food)
 SIMPLE PERMANENT TISSUES
PARENCHYMA

It consist of polygonal and thin walled
living cells with or without intercellular
space.
 Storage of reserve food materials such
as starch, oils, fats, and proteins.
 Helps in respiration and secretion.
 It helps in the transport of materials.

Intercellular Space
COLLENCHYMA
 It is formed of elongated thick walled and
terminally tapering cells.
 Cell walls are non lignified , irregularly
thickened and formed of cellulose , and
pectin.
 Serves as the chief supporting tissue .
SCLERENCHYM
A Cells are hard
 thick
walled elastic dead and
devoid of living
protoplast at maturity.
They differ in size, shape
and origin .
 Provide strength and
support to the plant
body.
 Protects plant body from
damages .
 Sclereids of some nuts
form a hard protective
shell.
XYLE
MIttissue
 is a conducting
of vascular
plants responsible
for the upward
conduction of
water and
inorganic solutes
from roots.
 Xylem is composed
of both living and
dead cells.
 Provide mechanical
support by virtue of
their hard and firm
secondary wall.
PHLOEM

 It is the chief food conducting tissue of vascular plants

 It provide mechanical support and elasticity.
 Storage of organic nutrients and other substance in
phloem parenchyma.
 Translocation of organic nutrients such as simple sugars
complex carbohydrate and amino acids.
