📚 Key Concepts
Plant Tissues
- Meristematic Tissue
- Types: Apical, Lateral, Intercalary
- Primary & Secondary meristems
- Permanent Tissues
- Simple: Parenchyma, Collenchyma, Sclerenchyma
- Complex: Xylem, Phloem
Tissue Systems
- Epidermal: Epidermis, stomata, trichomes
- Ground: Cortex, pith
- Vascular: Vascular bundles
Anatomy of Plants
- Dicot Root vs Monocot Root
- Dicot Stem vs Monocot Stem
- Dorsiventral & Isobilateral Leaf
Secondary Growth
- Vascular cambium activity
- Cork cambium activity
- Annual rings
- Heartwood & Sapwood
🎯 Key Formulas
Key Terms & Definitions
- Meristem: Actively dividing tissue
- Vascular bundle: Xylem & phloem together
- Cambium: Lateral meristem
- Periderm: Secondary protective tissue
- Stele: Central cylinder with vascular tissue
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
Confusing primary & secondary tissuesMixing up tissue types & functionsWrong identification of vascular bundlesIncorrect stem/root anatomyMisunderstanding secondary growthMixing monocot & dicot featuresConfusing leaf anatomy terms
