1. How are the plant tissues
classified according to their
functions?
2. Which are the growth
tissues of plants? How do they
classify and where can they be
found?
3. What is the difference
between the lateral and the
apical buds of the plants?
4. What are apical meristems?
Which type of plant growth
does this meristem promote?
5. What are lateral
meristems? Where can they
be found and which type of
plant growth do they
promote?
6. What are the main features
of the meristematic cells? Why
do these cells need to have a
high mitotic rate?
7. What is the best
identification hypothesis for a
plant tissue seen under the
microscope having most cells
undergoing cell division?
8. Which are the plant tissues
responsible for the supporting
of the plant?
9. Which is the plant tissue
responsible for the filling of
the space between other
tissues?
10. Where in the leaves is the
photosynthetic tissue often
located?
11. How are water, mineral
salts and food (sugar)
transported through out the
plant?
12. Which are the specialized
conductive tissues of the
plants?
13. What are the cell types
that form the xylem? What are
the main features of those
cells?
14. What are the cell types
that form the phloem? What
are the main features of those
cells?
15. What is the vascular
cambium? What is its
function?
16. What are vascular
bundles? How does the
configuration of the vascular
bundles within the stem
differentiate monocots from
dicots?
17. What are the main plant
tissues that form the rings
observed on stem sections of
some trees?
18. How can the age of a tree
be estimated from the
analysis of the rings present
on a cross section of its stem?
19. What are the plant tissues
that constitute the functional
structures of the leaf veins?
20. Which are the plant
tissues specialized in
covering?
21. Which are the plant
tissues that cover the stem
and the leaves?
22. What is phellogen? What
is its function?
23. Which type of plant tissue
is cork?
24. What are the plant root
hairs? Where can they be
found and what is their
function?
25. Why does bark often die
and break naturally?
26. What is the leaf cuticle?
27. Which are the plant
tissues that form the plant
roots?
28. What is the root cap?
29. What are secondary roots?
In origin how secondary roots
differentiate from shoots?
30. Why do roots of many
swamp plants have a special
morphology?
