PLANT STRUCTURE, GROWTH AND   DIFFERENTIATION

There are about 262,000 species of plants. About 235,000 species or 90%, are angiosperms. Angiosperms can be either herbaceous or oo!". #erbaceous plants can be annuals, biennials an! perennials. $oo!" plants are perennials.

THE PLANT BODY The plant bo!" consists of a root system an! a shoot system. The shoot s"stem consists of a stem that bears leaes, floers, fruits an! sometimes ade!t"t"o#s roots. &lants are ma!e of cells organi'e! into tissues an! organs. (oots, stems, floers an! fruits are organs. There are three tissue s"stems that e)ten! throughout the entire bo!" of the plant. *ach tissue s"stem contains to or more tissues, hich can be simple or comple) !epen!ing on the +in!s of cells that form the tissue. A groing plant cell secretes a $r"mary %e&& 'a&& that stretches as the cell increases in si'e. The se%o!dary %e&& 'a&& is !eposite! after the cell stops groing. CELL TYPES Pare!%hyma %e&&s • • • •
