Plant


Plant cells are formed at meristems, and then develop into cell types which are grouped into tissues. Plants have only three tissue types: 1) Dermal; 2) Ground; and 3) Vascular. Dermal tissue covers the outer surface of herbaceous plants.

Plants, some algae, and some bacteria obtain their energy from light. The light energy is used to bond molecules of carbon dioxide together to form sugar (glucose). The energy is stored in glucose. This process is called photosynthesis.
