Document Summary

Organization of the plant body (smallest largest) Molecules cells tissues orga(cid:374)s orga(cid:374) syste(cid:373)s orga(cid:374)is(cid:373)s. Primary growth - growth from the tips (shoot tips, root tips) Protoderm - a surface layer that will produce the epidermis. Ground meristem - a dividing region of isodiametric (equal in diameter in all directions) cells that will produce the cortex. Procambium - a region in the center composed of elongate cells with elongate nuclei that will produce the primary xylem and phloem (vascular tissue). Leaf - the ground tissue (originating from the ground meristem) of the dicot leaf is composed of 2 types of cells: Palisade mesophyll - tightly packed columnar cells, full of chloroplasts just beneath the upper epidermis. Spongy mesophyll - loose tissue with many intracellular spaces. It is usually found just underneath the palisade layer. Plant cell types: parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma, parenchyma - thin-walled cells that make up the inside of many non-woody plant structures including stems, roots, and leaves.
