Plant tissues fourth grade

1. PLANT TISSUES

2. DERMAL/PROTECTIVE
(DÉRMICO)
• Protective tissue
covers the
surface of leaves
and the living
cells of roots
and stems.

3. VASCULAR
• Vascular tissue
transport
nutrients, water,
and sugars
around the
plant.

4. VASCULAR:
XYLEM
• Xylem conducts
water and
dissolved
minerals from
the roots to all
the other parts
of the plant.

5. VASCULAR:
PHLOEM
• Phloem
transports the
sugars and other
molecules
created by plant
photosynthesis.

6. GROUND (FUNDAMENTAL)
• All tissues that
are neither (no
son) dermal nor
(ni) vascular.
• It can be divided
into three classes.

7. GROUND
PARENCHYMA
• Food storage
• Photosynthesis
(with
chloroplasts)

8. GROUND
SCLERENCHYMA
• Give mechanical
support.
• Is found in stems
and in leaf veins.
• Makes up the hard
outer covering of
seeds and nuts.

9. GROUND
COLLENCHYMA
• They are in areas
that are growing
rapidly and need
to be
strengthened.
