Plant Tissues and the
Multicellular Plant Body
Chapter 5
LEARNING OBJECTIVE 1
•
Discuss the plant body, including the
root system and shoot system
The Plant Body 1
•
Root system
•
•
•
generally underground
obtains water and dissolved minerals for plant
usually anchors the plant firmly in place
The Plant Body 2
•
Shoot system
•
•
•
generally aerial
obtains sunlight and carbon dioxide for plant
Shoot system consists of
•
•
a vertical stem bearing leaves (main organs of
photosynthesis)
flowers and fruits (reproductive structures)
The Plant Body 3
•
Buds (undeveloped embryonic shoots)
develop on stems
•
Although separate organs (roots, stems,
and leaves) exist in the plant, many
tissues are integrated throughout the
plant body, providing continuity from organ
to organ

Xylem
Pits
Tracheids
White pine tree
(a) Tracheids from a white pine (Pinus strobus) stem in longitudinal section (that is, cut
lengthwise). These cells, which occur in clumps, transport water and dissolved minerals.
Water passes readily from tracheid to tracheid through pits, thin places in the cell wall.

Vessel elements
Pumpkin plant
(b) Vessel elements from a pumpkin (Cucurbita mixta) stem in longitudinal section. The
blue-stained regions are various patterns of the secondary walls in the vessel elements.
Perforation plates are not visible in this micrograph.

(c) The end walls of vessel elements, called perforation plates, have large holes. Water
passes through the perforation plate from one vessel element to the next. Shown are
adjacent perforation plates from a southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) stem; in this
species, the perforation plates are at an angle in longitudinal section.

(c) (Left ) When water pressure is equal between the two
cells (A and B), the bordered pit is open, and water flow is
unrestricted. (Right ) When the pressure is greater in cell A
than in cell B, the torus, a thickening in the primary cell
walls, blocks the opening, restricting water movement
through the pit pair.

Companion
cell
(a) Phloem tissue from a squash (Cucurbita) petiole in cross section. Note the
sieve plates, the end walls of the sieve-tube elements. Most sieve-tube elements
appear empty because they were sectioned in the middle of the cells rather than
at the end walls. The smaller cells are companion cells.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE 5
•
Discuss what is meant by growth in
plants and how it differs from growth in
animals
Growth in Plants
•
Involves cell division, cell elongation, and
cell differentiation
•
Plants grow only in specific areas
(meristems) composed of cells that do not
differentiate
Growth in Animals
•
Location of growth differs between plants
and animals
•
When a young animal grows, all parts of
its body grow, although not necessarily at
the same rate
LEARNING OBJECTIVE 6
•
Distinguish between primary and
secondary growth
KEY TERMS
•

activity of apical meristems at the tips of
roots and at the buds of stems
KEY TERMS
•

root in a plant; produces primary tissues

due to the activity of lateral meristems (the
vascular cambium and cork cambium)
Secondary Growth
•

•
•
In addition to primary growth
Secondary growth is localized, typically as
long cylinders of active growth throughout
the lengths of older stems and roots
