Features | tissue/cell/structure |
what surrounds the spongy mesophyll | |
the portion of wood that is light-colored functional xylem | |
column-shaped photosynthetic cells in leaves | |
created by the vascular cambium and is functional when dead and unfilled | |
the portion of wood filled with dark oils, gums and resins | |
meristematic tissue that gives rise to periderm and a wax-filled protective layer (and to more of itself) | |
general term for cells that transport carbohydrates | |
regulatory vascular tissue that, in some monocots, concentrates carbon dioxide near RuBisCO | |
a region of soft spongy parenchyma cells in herbaceous stems, found in the center of dicot stems; replaced by xylem in older trees | |
layer of cells created by the cork cambium, replaces epidermis in woody plants | |
meristematic tissue that gives rise to secondary xylem and secondary phloem (and more of itself) | |
use proton pumps to move sugars along cell walls near sieve tube cells | |
nonliving layer that reflects both heat and water; found on leaves and stems (but not roots!) | |
a term for the cluster of xylem and phloem in the center of roots | |
ring of cells containing the Casparian strip | |
the phloem of ferns and pines is made up of this type of cell | |
a layer for photosynthesis and storage found in herbaceous stems and roots | |
most common and most versatile plant cell; has only one cell wall and is used for storage, secretion, growth (it is meristematic), photosynthesis and wound repair | |
