General Biology Lab

8 - Plant Structure

In this lab, you studied the structure of flowering plants. This page contains photos of the wet-mounts you made, as well as the prepared slides of the different regions of flowering plants. For each image, identify the tissues and cell types as described in your lab manual, and know their functions. As in all exercises, concentrate on those structures in bold face type and those that you were asked to label on your diagrams.
