Anatomy of Flowering Plants

Plant Tissues: Dermal, Vascular, and Ground Tissues Plant tissues fall into two general categories: meristematic tissue, and permanent (or non-meristematic) tissue… Dermal tissue covers and protects the plant, and controls gas exchange and water absorption. Vascular tissue transports water, minerals, and sugars to different parts of the plant… Ground tissue carries out different functions based […]

Parenchyma Cells – Isodiametric Nature The Cells of the Parenchyma are Generally Isodiametric. Why? When we talk about parenchyma cells, a common description is that they are isodiametric—meaning that their dimensions (length, width, and height) are more or less equal. But why are these cells structured this way, and what purpose does it serve? What

Sclerenchyma consists of long, narrow cells with thick and lignified cell walls having a few or numerous pits. They are usually dead and withoutprotoplasts. On the basis of variation in form, structure, origin and development, sclerenchyma may be either fibres or sclereids. General defination : Sclerechyma Cells: Parenchyma cells that have developed secondary cell walls.
