Plant Tissue
1. Dermal tissue
- A single layer of cells. Surrounds different
parts of a plant
-
E.g. epidermis (protects the plant)
-
Location: like skin. Covers leaves, stems, roots
Description: rectangular cells, sometimes
covered by a cuticle (waterproof layer)
Function: protects plant
-

Can you name the two types of
Vascular Tissue?
1.Xylem
2.Phloem
What are the 2 types of Xylem cells?
Xylem Tracheids
Found in conifers
Xylem Vessels
Found in deciduous trees
Phloem Structure
2 Companion
cells: lie
alongside the
sieve tube.
Nucleus
controls
activities of
both
companion
and sieve
tube cell
1. Sieve tube
cells: long cells
stacked end to
end. Mature cells
with cytoplasm
but no nucleus
Sieve plates
Cytoplasm extends
from cell to cell
through the
sieve plate
Plant Tissue
2. Vascular Tissue
- Transports materials around the plant
-
Xylem: transports water and minerals around the
plant. Consists of hollow tubes
Phloem: transports food from the leaves to the other
parts of the plant. Tube like structures
Animal Tissues
4 types: connective, nervous, muscular and
epithelial
 Connective tissue: joins
tissues. Blood is a
connective tissue

Nervous tissue: composed
of nerve cells called
neurons. Send electrical
impulses to the brain
Animal Tissues
4 types: connective, nervous,
muscular and epithelial
 Muscular tissue: long
cells that can shorten

Epithelial tissue: flat
cells that cover
surfaces
Learning Check
Can you name 3 types of cell?
 What is a tissue?
 Can you recall 2 types of animal tissue?
 Can you recall 2 types of plant tissue?

Tissue Culture

Tissue culture: cells grown on artificial
medium outside an organism

The tissue sample is removed from a
plant/animal and grown in glassware ( in vitro) or
in a bioreactor in sterile fluid under controlled
conditions
Growth is
 by mitosis
 produces a cluster of identical offspring - a
clone

Can you think of any conditions
necessary for growth of a
tissue?
 Oxygen
Nutrients
 Growth factors and hormones
 Correct pH
 Optimum temperature
 Sterile conditions
 Freedom from competition

Tissue Culture



Sterile conditions must be used.
Sterile: prevent growth of bacteria and fungi
If bacteria and fungi were allowed to grow,
they would destroy cell growth
Fighting disease
Applications of tissue cultures

1. Cancer research
 Antibodies are produced by white
blood cells and fight infection
 Antigens are chemicals on foreign
bodies that cause infection
 Cancer cells have antigens
 Tissue culture can be used to
produce antibodies that attach
to cancer cells only
 Monoclonal antibodies may
change colour when they react
with cancer antigens. Can tell if
there is cancerous cells in a
sample
Applications of tissue cultures

2.Micro propagation of plants
Applications of tissue cultures

2.Micro propagation of plants
 This is the growth of large number of
plants from a small piece of a plant
 Carried out in a suitable medium.
 Forms clump of cells called a callus
 Conditions present to allow callus to grow
 Produces exact copies
 Quickly produces mature plants
 Inexpensive
Learning Check
What is Tissue Culture?
 What kind of conditions do cells in tissue
culture need?
 Can you name two uses for tissue culture?

Organs


An organ: a number of tissues that work
together to carry out one or more functions
Examples (Plants)
 Root
 Stem
 Leaf
 Flower
Organs
 Leaf
is composed
of
Dermal
tissue: makes
up epidermis
Vascular tissue: xylem
and phloem
Ground tissue: makes
up body of leaf
Organs
Examples (Animals)
 Heart
 Stomach
 Intestine
 Liver
Examples

Heart is composed of
 Muscular
tissue: cardiac muscles
 Epithelial tissue: heart is enclosed in a
membrane called the pericardium
 Connective tissue: blood & blood vessels
 Nervous tissue: controls heart
Systems

A system consists of a number of
organs working together to carry out
one or more functions
