PARENCHYMA COLLENCHYMA SCLERENCHYMA
Characteristics • spherical
• thin-walled
• living, metabolizing
tissue
• elongated cells with
unevenly thickened cell
walls
• alive at maturity
• with primary and
secondary cell walls
• dead at functional
maturity
Location• throughout the plant• beneath the epidermis
in young stems and in
leaf veins
• fibers in wood, bark,
leaves, stems
• sclereids in fruits and
seeds
Functions • photosynthesis and
respiration
• storage
• regeneration
• flexible support
system
• structural support
Appearance
Vascular TissueVascular Tissue
•Xylem
–Conducts water and dissolved
minerals from the roots
•Phloem
–Conducts dissolved food
materials, carbohydrates, in
solution
•Continuous throughout

Epithelial TissueEpithelial Tissue
(Covering)(Covering)
•Tightly-joined closely-packed cells
•One side of exposed to air or internal
fluid, other side attached to a basement
membrane
•Covers outside of the body and lines
internal organs and cavities
•Barrier against mechanical injury,
invasive microorganisms, and fluid loss
•Provides surface for absorption,
excretion and transport of molecules
