Guard cells regulate the opening and closing of stomata, controlling gas exchange and water loss.

Sclerenchyma cells provide support and protection due to their thick, lignified cell walls.

Meristematic tissue is responsible for the growth and development of new cells in plants.

Stomata are small openings on the leaf surface that allow for gas exchange, primarily oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Xylem is responsible for the transport of water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.

Phloem is responsible for the transport of sugars and other metabolic products downward from the leaves.

Sclerenchyma cells are dead at maturity and provide structural support due to their thick, lignified walls.

Sclerenchyma cells have thickened, lignified walls that provide structural support and rigidity to mature plants.

Phloem not only transports sugars but also plays a role in the transport of hormones and signaling molecules throughout the plant.

Parenchyma tissue can divide and differentiate to help heal wounds in plants.

Parenchyma cells often store starch and other carbohydrates, making them essential for energy storage.

Phloem is responsible for the transport of organic compounds, particularly sugars, throughout the plant.

Collenchyma cells provide flexible support to young stems and petioles, allowing for growth and movement.

Sclerenchyma cells provide rigid support and are typically dead at maturity, contributing to the structural integrity of the plant.

Sclerenchyma cells are dead at maturity and provide structural support due to their thick, lignified walls.

Xylem cells are specialized for the transport of water and minerals from the roots to the aerial parts of the plant.

Tracheids are specialized cells in the xylem that facilitate the transport of water and minerals.

Phloem is responsible for the transport of organic compounds, particularly sugars, throughout the plant.

Parenchyma cells, particularly those in the leaves, contain chloroplasts and are primarily responsible for photosynthesis.

Phloem not only transports sugars but also plays a role in the transport of hormones throughout the plant.
