Tissue | Groups of similar cells that perform a specific function in an organism |
Tissue culture | Cells grown on (or in) medium or cells grown outside organism |
Organ System | A group of organs that work together |
Connective | Animal support tissue |
Transport | Vascular (plant) tissue function |
Xylem; Phloem | Vascular tissues found in flowering plants |
Tissue culture | Cells grown on medium outside organism on an artificial media |
Mitosis | Type of cell division involved in tissue culture |
Why sterile conditions are needed in tissue culture | To prevent bacterial growth |
In vitro | in an artificial environment outside the living organism |
In vivo | within a living organism |
Micropropogation | the growth of large numbers of plants from cells, tissue or small parts of a plant. Used to rapidly produces new genetically identical plants |
Nervous Tissue | tissue composed of neurons |
Organ | Group of tissues that work together to perform closely related functions |
Phloem | vascular tissue that transports nutrients and carbohydrates produced by photosynthesis |
Vascular Tissue | tissue that conducts water and nutrients through the plant. It consists of xylem and phloem |
Xylem | vascular tissue that carries water upward from the roots to every part of a plant |
