Please start the chapter on Cancer p 1.29 in the textbook. Also start on p1.30 with the Meristematic tissue.
As always do a mindmap/summary after completion. Activity will follow
4 June
Please study the work on p1.31 regarding the permanent tissue. Make sketches of the epidermis, structure of the root hair, and guard cells of a stoma in your workbook.
Also start with p1.32 Parenchyma, Schlerenchyma and Collenchyma. Draw the sketches with labels in your workbook. Do not start vascular tissue yet. We’ll do that tomorrow.
8 June
Page 1.32 – Vascular tissue.
Xylem Vessels – draw the basic structure of the xylem vessel (p1.33 top left). Take note that Xylem works like a drinking straw as water and mineral salts moves upwards in the Xylem . Also draw the 3 different types of xylem and the Tracheid.
Phloem – page 1.33 – draw the structure. Companion cells p1.34. Functions of phloem. Take note of the difference between functions of Xylem and Phloem. Like a highway everything traveling upwards can only be transported via Xylem. Everything traveling down can only be transported via the Phloem.
Below is a powerpoint of the work for today and last week. Please complete the class activities in the document, I will put the answers up tomorrow.

Page 2.4 draw the cross-section through a part of a young dicotyledonous stem showing various tissues.
Be able to identify the vascular bundle from the sketch you’ve made.
