Chapter 44, Problem 1FIB
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The plants have “ground”, “dermal”, “vascular”, and “meristematic tissues”. These tissues are responsible for various functions that directly contribute to the completion of plant’s life cycle.

- Match the following plant cells and tissues with their definition: - v Collenchyma A. grouped in strands and help support young parts of the plant shoot. They have unevenly thickened primary cell walls. - v Sugar-conducting cells of the phloem B. are alive at maturity, but lack organelles. Each sieve-tube element is connected to a companion cell by plasmodesmata. Water-conducting cells of the xyleem v Sclerenchyma C. The two types of water-conducting cells, tracheids and vessel elements, are dead and lignified at maturity. - v Parenchyma D. rigid due to thick secondary walls containing lignin, dead at functional maturity and play a role in support in the plant. E. cells are flexible and provide the most diversity of functions (such as photosynthesis)arrow_forwardCompare monocot, herbaceous dicot and woody dicot stems.

- Show the sequence of secondary growth by drawing the row of cells from the boxed area below and labeling the vascular cambium cell (V), 5 xylem cells from oldest (X1) to youngest (X5), and 3 phloem cells (P1 to P3). Show what happens after growth continues by drawing and labeling a row with twice as many xylem and phloem cells. How does the vascular cambium’s location change? A pear has a hard texture but juicy.
