SNC2D
Ms. Kueh
Plants have 3 types of tissues:
1.
2.
3.
Dermal Tissue
1. Epidermal Tissue
 _____________ of cells that cover the __________ of leaves, stems and roots.
 _________________ are an extension of the root epidermal tissue that
________________ the surface area for ________________________________.
 Epidermal tissue on leaves creates a ____________________ that protect the
plant from water loss.
2. Periderm tissue
 In woody plants, epidermal tissue is _________________ by periderm tissue
 produces _________________ on stems and roots.
Vascular Tissue
The vascular tissue of a plant is like our __________________________________. It transports
the _______________, ______________________ and _______________________ throughout
the plant.
There are 2 types of vascular tissue:
1. Xylem
 _____________________________ that, once matured, are hollow tubes with
_________________________ stacked end to end to create a _______________
from the roots to the shoots
 Transport _____________________ from the roots to the leaves of the plant
 Once xylem cells are mature they are no longer ___________________________
2. Phloem
 Transports __________________ created by photosynthesis, other chemicals
and hormones throughout the plant
 Phloem cells are _____________________ tissue
Vascular tissue is arranged in 2 different ways:
1. _______________________ – vascular bundles (one xylem and one phloem tube) are
arranged _____________________ throughout the stem
2. _______________________ – vascular bundles are arranged in a _________________
formation
Ground Tissue
Ground tissue is the composed of all the tissue ___________________________ the dermal
tissue and the vascular tissue. It performs different functions in the different parts of the plant:
 In roots –
 In Stems –
 In Leaves –
