CHAPTER 36
PLANT CELLS
The first barrier to form between daughter cells is the middle lamella.

Daughter cells expand to their final size and make polysaccharides for a primary wall.

After expansion stops waterproofing materials are added for a secondary wall.

Water and dissolved materials move from cell to cell by way of pit pairs. A pit is a thin spot in the primary wall where the secondary wall is absent or separated from the primary wall by a space.

Strands of cytoplasm called plasmodesmata pass through pit pairs and the middle lamella to allow substances to move from cell to cell

Parenchyma cells- they store substances in their cytoplasm. Starch is stored in leucoplasts, lipids in oil droplets, and photopigments in chloroplasts.

Sclerenchyma cells- they are for support. There are two types of sclerenchyma cells:
1. Fibers- they are in bundles and give rigid support to wood and bark
2. Sclereids- they form shells for nuts and coats for seeds by being packed tighly.

Collenchyma cells- they lack a secondary wall and give support to petioles, nonwoody shoots and growing organs of the plant.

Tracheary elements- cells found in the xylem of tracheophytes that die before they transport water and dissolved minerals.

Tracheids- the tracheary elements of gymnosperms.

Vessel elements- the tracheary elements of angiosperms.

Sieve tube member- living cells of the phloem in flowering plants that transport foods from their sources to the tissues.

PLANT TISSUES
Tissue- an organized group of cells working together as a functional unit

Simple tissue- tissue made of one type of cell (parenchyma cells, parenchyma tissue)

Complex tissue- tissue made of more than one type of cell (parenchyma cells and sclerenchyma cells in the same tissue)
Plant tissues are organized into three tissue systems that extend throughout the plant:
1. vascular tissue system- conducts materials from one part of the body to another
2. dermal tissue

    Cells have an outer covering called the cell membrane. The membrane is selectively permeable meaning that it has tiny pores or holes that allow objects to move across it. The cell membrane controls what moves in and out of the cell. Food and oxygen move into cells across the cell membrane through the process of diffusion. Diffusion is the process by which molecules spread from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Diffusion will continue until it reaches equilibrium. “Equilibrium” meaning that both sides of the membrane have an equal concentration. Osmosis is a special type of diffusion where water moves across a membrane and go to a higher concentration of solute (lower concentration of water) from the lower concentration of solute.…

    Structurally, the apoplast is formed by the continuum of cell walls of adjacent cells as well as the extracellular spaces, forming a tissue level compartment comparable to the symplast. The apoplastic route facilitates the transport of water and solutes across a tissue or organ. This process is known as apoplastic transport.…

    Movement of substances takes place through the cell membrane, which separates the different substances in the cell from its surroundings. This type of membrane allows small molecules such as water to pass through it, but it denies entry to large particles to pass. This membrane is called a partially permeable membrane. The amount of water inside a cell is called water potential.…

    b) Water and food is transported through the xylem. The water will eventually be transported to the leaf tissue while the phloem carries nutrients from the leaf tissue to the rest of the plant. This process is able to carry out due to bulk flow which happens because of turgor pressure. Water is eventually lost by a process known as transpiration, where water is evaporated…

    Every one is a part by a membrane, and every membrane is divided because these are created of a material that is not found in the other portions of the cell. Manufactured material, which the cells require to function, moves a outstanding distance of 1/10,000 of an inch on its passage from the cytoplasm to the lysosome, still it needs the service of lots of different proteins to ensure its safe appearance. This system is complicated and the system by which it moves from one part to another is also complicated. This particular movement from one part to another is called a gated transport system. “How does this gated system work?”…
