Exploring Plant and Animal Tissues

What are the main types of plant tissues?

• Storage tissue

• Meristematic tissue, permanent tissue, vascular tissue

• Respiratory tissue

• Photosynthetic tissue

Describe the function of xylem in plants.

• Xylem stores food for the plant.

• The function of xylem in plants is to transport water and minerals and provide structural support.

• Xylem absorbs sunlight for energy.

• Xylem is responsible for photosynthesis.

What is the role of phloem in plant tissue?

• Phloem helps in the absorption of minerals from the soil.

• Phloem is responsible for photosynthesis in leaves.

• The role of phloem in plant tissue is to transport nutrients and sugars throughout the plant.

• Phloem primarily stores water in the plant.

Identify the four main types of animal tissues.

• Epithelial, muscular, skeletal, and connective tissue.

• Nervous, epithelial, adipose, and lymphatic tissue.

• Connective, muscular, epithelial, and respiratory tissue.

• Epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue.

What is the primary function of epithelial tissue?

• Absorption of nutrients

• Transportation of oxygen

• Secretion of hormones

• The primary function of epithelial tissue is protection.

How does connective tissue differ from other tissue types?

• Connective tissue is characterized by a lack of extracellular matrix.

• Connective tissue is primarily responsible for transmitting nerve impulses.

• Connective tissue provides support and binds other tissues, characterized by a significant extracellular matrix.

• Connective tissue is the only tissue type that forms the body's organs.

What type of muscle tissue is involuntary and found in the heart?

• Skeletal muscle

• Cardiac muscle

• Smooth muscle

• Striated muscle

Explain the difference between smooth and skeletal muscle tissue.

• Smooth muscle is striated and skeletal muscle is non-striated.

• Smooth muscle is voluntary and striated; skeletal muscle is involuntary and non-striated.

• Both smooth and skeletal muscle are striated and involuntary.

• Smooth muscle is involuntary and non-striated; skeletal muscle is voluntary and striated.

What is the function of nervous tissue in animals?

• To produce hormones for growth regulation.

• To provide structural support to organs.

• The function of nervous tissue in animals is to transmit signals and facilitate communication within the body.

• To store energy for muscle contractions.

How do meristematic tissues contribute to plant growth?

• They protect the plant from pests and diseases.

• They store nutrients for the plant.

• They absorb sunlight for photosynthesis.

• Meristematic tissues contribute to plant growth by facilitating cell division and differentiation, leading to the elongation and thickening of the plant.
