Document Summary
Coniferous species (evergreen) gymnosperms cedar, pine, douglas fir, hemlock. Deciduous species (lose their leaves over winter) flowering plants, angiosperms (e. g. maple, oak) (fig. Tissue types in plants: meristematic, dermal, ground, vascular. Actively dividing cells which are found in growing plants (apical bud, root tips) which results in continued growth = primary growth. (figure 36. 14-15) Tissues found on the outside of the plant (epidermis which is found in roots or leaves). Three types of ground tissues: parenchyma are those that are found in plants that are considered to be the most common. They have thin walls, and a large vacuole. They are found in leaves, tubers, and fruits. (fig. 36. 21: collenchyma they do not synthesize food, have supportive function (physical), are living cells, and thicker cells wall than. 36. 23: sclerenchyma they have thick cells walls (lignin), and have supportive functions is very important. They provide physical strength to the plant. (fig. Two types of vascular tissue (xylem, and phloem). (fig.
