Chapter 6 Tissue
Learning Objective:
• The Formation of tissues.
• Difference between plant and animal tissues.
• Plant Tissue and its type.
Introduction
•Living organisms in this world comprise of cells.
•There are unicellular as well as multicellular organisms present in this world.
•In unicellular organisms, the only single cell is capable of performing several functions such as Respiration,
Digestion and Clearing of the cell.
•In multicellular organisms, there is a division of labor. There are different types as well as groups of cells that
perform different functions in a multicellular organism. For Example, In animals muscle cells are responsible
for causing movement, nerve cells are responsible for carrying messages and signals from one part of the body
to another and blood is responsible for transportation of food and oxygen to different parts of the body.
•In plants, there are vascular tissues that are responsible for carrying food and water two different parts of a
plant.
The Formation of Tissues
•Cells form groups cells that need to perform a single task often group together.
•This grouping of cells together to perform a function efficiently is called a Tissue.
•For Example, Muscles and Blood.
•The tissue cells have the same structure and they perform the same function.

Plant Tissues
Meristematic Tissue
•Only certain parts of a plant tend to grow. The tissues located in such parts are called meristematic tissues.
•They have the capability to divide themselves and form new tissues. They have thin cell wall made of
cellulose. Also have dense nucleus and cytoplasm but lack vacuoles.
•They can further we classify differently based on the areas of the plants where they are located –
•Apical
•Lateral
•Intercalary

the roots and stems.
Permanent Tissue
•The cells that are formed by the meristematic tissues often have to take a certain role in the plant and thus, they lose
their ability to divide and form more cells. They then become the permanent tissues of the plants.
•Differentiation - The process by which cells of the meristematic tissues convert themselves into a permanent tissue by
taking a fixed shape, size and function is called differentiation.
•Types of Permanent Tissues:
•Simple Permanent Tissues
•Complex Permanent Tissues
Simple Permanent Tissues are of five types:
•Parenchyma
•Chlorenchyma
•Aerenchyma
•Collenchyma
•Sclerenchyma

Chlorenchyma
•These tissues are similar to that of parenchyma but they also contain chlorophyll in them.
•Due to the presence of chlorophyll, they are capable of performing the process of photosynthesis in plants.
Aerenchyma
•They are found in aquatic plants.
•They are also similar in structure to that of the parenchyma but they have large air cavities in them.
•These cavities allow the aquatic plants to float in water.
