Online Notes on Chapter = 6 ( TISSUE) Part 1

Online Notes on Chapter = 6 ( TISSUE) Part 1This is Biology Online Notes on Chapter = 6 ( TISSUE) Part 1 of 9th class of NCERT Book for preparation of examinations like CBSE Board, Biology Olympiad, NTSE, CSIR NET etc.

CHAPTER AT A GLANCE:

Chapter = 6 ( TISSUE) keywords

PLANT TISSUE – Meristematic & Permanent


Meristematic Tissue:


These are simple living tissues having thin walled compactly arranged immature cells which are capable of division and formation of new cells.

Main features of Meristematic tissues are :

• Thin primary cell wall (cellulosic).
• Intercellular spaces are absent (compact tissue).
• Generally vacuols are absent, dense cytoplasm & prominent             nuclei are present.
• Large numbers of cell organelles are present.
• Active metabolic state, stored food is absent.
• Actively dividing cells are present in growing regions of plants         e.g., root & shoot tips.

Classification on the Basis of Origin:

(A) Primary (Promeristem):

• Derived directly from the meristems of embryo.
• They consist of cells derived from primary meristem.
• They add to primary growth of plants

(B) Secondary:

• Formed by permanent tissues.
• These are having cells derived from primary permanent tissue.
• They usually add to the diameter of plants.

Permanent tissue differentiation Secondary Meristem:

Permanent tissue differentiation Secondary Meristem
Classification on the Basis of Location:

(A) Apical Meristem
• It is present at the growing tips of stems and roots.
• Cell division in this tissue leads to the elongation of stem & root,     thus it is involved in primary growth of the plant.

(B) Intercalary Meristem
• It is present behind the apex.
• It is the part of apical meristem which is left behind during growth
    period.
• These are present at the base of leaf & internode region.
• These lead to the increase in the length of leaf (Primary) e.g., in        grass stem, bamboo stem, mint stem etc.

(C) Lateral Meristem
• It is also called as secondary meristem.
• It occurs along the sides of longitudinal axis of the plant.
• It gives rise to the vascular tissues.
• Causes growth in girth of stem & root.
• They are responsible for secondary growth.

PERMANENT TISSUE:

• The permanent tissues are composed of those cells which have          lost their capability to divide.
• They have definite shape, size and thickness. The permanent              tissue may be dead or living.
• The division & differentiation of the cells of meristematic tissues      give rise x
• The cells of permanent tissue loose the capacity to divide and            attain a permanent shape, size and function.

Depending upon the Structure and Composition, the Permanent tissues are classified into two types :

(A) Simple Permanent Tissues
• These are made up of same type of cells which are similar                  structurally and functionally.

• They include two types of tissue :
(a) Protective Tissues : These tissues are primarily protective in
function. 

They consist of :

(i) Epidermis

• Epidermis forms one cell thick outermost layer of various body
  organs of plants such as leaves, flowers, stems and roots.
• Epidermis is covered outside by cuticle. Cuticle is a waterproof
  layer of waxy substance called as cutin which is secreted by the      epidermal cells.
• Cuticle is very thick in xerophytes.
• Cells of epidermis of leaves are not continuous at some places
   due to the presence of small pores called as stomata.
• Each stomata is guarded by a pair of bean-shaped cells called
   as guard cells. These are the only epidermal cells which possess
   chloroplasts, the rest being colourless.
Epidermis
Functions of Epidermis:

• The main function of epidermis is to protect the plant from
   desiccation and infection.
• Cuticle of epidermis cuts the rate of transpiration and
   evaporation of water and prevents wilting.
• Stomata in epidermis allow gaseous exchange to occur during
   photosynthesis respiration.
• Stomata also helps in transpiration.

(ii) Cork or Phellem:
• In older roots and stems, tissues at the periphery become cork 
   cells or phellem cells.
• Cork is made up to dead cells with thick walls and do not have
   any intercellular spaces.
• The cell walls in cork deposit waxy substance called as suberin.
• The cells of cork become impermeable to water and gases due
   to the deposition of suberin.
• The cork cells are without any protoplasm but are filled with
   resins or tannins.

Cork or Phellem


Functions of Cork :

• Cork is protective in function. Cork cells prevent desiccation,
   infection and mechanical injury.
• Imperviousness, lightness, toughness, compressibility and
   elasticity make the cork commercially valuable.
• Cork is used for insulation, as shock absorber in linoleum.
• Cork is used in the making of a variety of sport goods such as
   cricket balls, table tennis, shuttle cocks, wooden paddles etc.
