Cell Types and Their Functions

What are the main types of plant tissues?

• Respiratory tissue

• Ground tissue, Dermal tissue, vascular tissue

• Photosynthetic tissue

• Storage tissue

Describe the function of dermal tissue in plants.

• Dermal tissue enables plant growth by producing new cells through division.

• Dermal tissue stores nutrients for the plant.

• Dermal tissue is responsible for Metabolic processes

• Dermal tissue protects the plant from pests.

What is the role of xylem in plants?

• To facilitate photosynthesis in leaves.

• To store food and nutrients in plants.

• To transport sugars from roots to leaves.

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

How does phloem contribute to plant nutrition?

• Phloem transports organic nutrients, mainly sugars, to support plant nutrition.

• Phloem produces energy through photosynthesis.

• Phloem stores excess nutrients for later use.

• Phloem absorbs water and minerals from the soil.

Identify the types of animal tissues.

• Nervous, epithelial, and circulatory tissues.

• Epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues.

• Connective, dermal, and reproductive tissues.

• Epithelial, muscular, and skeletal tissues.

What is the primary function of epithelial tissue?

• To facilitate nutrient absorption

• The primary function of epithelial tissue is to protect and cover surfaces.

• To produce hormones

• To store energy

Explain the role of connective tissue in the body.

• Connective tissue is mainly involved in the digestion of food.

• Connective tissue primarily stores energy in the body.

• Connective tissue supports, binds, and protects other tissues and organs in the body.

• Connective tissue is responsible for the production of hormones.

What are the differences between simple and stratified epithelial tissues?

• Simple epithelial tissues have one layer of cells; stratified epithelial tissues have multiple layers.

• Simple epithelial tissues are thicker than stratified tissues.

• Simple epithelial tissues are always cuboidal in shape.

• Stratified epithelial tissues are found only in the lungs.

How does xylem transport water in plants?

• Xylem stores water for later use.

• Xylem absorbs nutrients from the soil.

• Xylem transports water in plants through capillary action, root pressure, and transpiration pull.

• Xylem transports water through photosynthesis.

What substances are transported by phloem?

• Water and minerals

• Sugars, amino acids, and hormones.

• Proteins and lipids

• Oxygen and carbon dioxide
