23-1 Specialized Tissue in Plants
Epidermal Cell- A cell that makes up the dermal tissue, which is the out covering of a plant
...

Sieve Tube Element- The main phloem cells
...

Parenchyma- Cells that have thin cell walls and large central vacuoles surrounded by a thin layer of
cytoplasm
...

Sclerenchyma- Cells that have extremely thick, rigid cell walls that make ground tissue tough and
strong
...

Meristematic Tissue- Undifferentiated tissue; not being specialized for certain tasks
...

Differentiation- The process by which cells develope into mature cells that gain specialization
...

Fibrous Root- Roots that branch out so that soil would not be washed away during a flood or rain
...

Cortex- A spongy layer of ground tissue inside the epidermis
...

Vascular Cylinder- A vascular subsystem, which the endodermous completely encloses
...

Casparian Strip- A water proof strip in the vascular cylinder that surrounds four sides of each cell
...

Vascular Bundle- A bundle that contains xylem and phloem tissue
...

Primary Growth- The method of growth, occuring only at the ends of a plant
...

Vascular Cambium- Lateral meristematic tissue that produces vascular tissues and increases the
thickness of stems over time
...

Heartwood- It contains old, nonfunctioning xylem that helps support the tree
...

Bark- It includes Cork, Cork Cambium, and Phloem

23-4 Leaves
Blade- Thin, flattened sections of a leaf
...

Spongy Mesophyll- A loose tissue with many air spaces between it's cells
...

Guard Cell- The specialized cells in the epidermous that control the opening and closing of stomata by
responding to changes in water pressure
...

23-5 Transport in Plants
Adhesion- The attraction between unlike molecules
...

Pressure-Flow Hypothesis- It states that a high concentration of organic matter inside cells of the
phloem in a leaf or other source creates a diffusion gradient that draws water into the cells

...
Vascular tissue consist of the Phloem, which consists of sieve tube elements and companion cells,
and Xylem, which consists of tracheids and vessel elements
...
Parenchyma- The site of most of the plants photosynthesis
...

Selerenchyma- Rigid cells that make ground tissue tough and strong
...
Dicot roots have a central column of xylem cells, arranged in a radiating pattern

...
The pore-like openings allow the exchange of oxygen
and carbon dioxide and the controlled release of water
...
The adhesion property of water is important because it allows water to move up the plant
...
When transpiration is high, the plant loses water
...

The sapwood, in
stems, contain active xylem that transports water and minerals

So in a sense
the leaf is the part of a plant that allows the plant to live
...
Both coniferous plants and grasses grow in the same way in primary growth and they both produce
blades/needles, but in secondary growth grasses have no rings
