Animal Tissue
3. Identify and describe the functions of three different cell types of epithelial tissues. [3M]
4. Compare the main types of connective tissue and describe their functions. [4M]
Plant Tissue
PLANT TISSUE
1. Parenchyma, Collenchyma and Sclerenchyma
2. There are two types of vascular tissue in plants, which are xylem and phloem. The
function of xylem is to transport water and minerals to the leaves. Then, function of phloem
is to transport foods to the growing parts and storage organs.
3. Apical meristem located at tip of shoots and root to enable primary growth. Plant tissue
that result from primary growth are called primary tissue and make up primary plant tissue.
Root apical meristem protected by root cap. While lateral meristem increases girth in
nonwoody plants. There’s two type of lateral meristem, vascular cambium and cork
cambium. In woody stem, cork cambium produces cork cells and replace the epidermis with
thicker, tougher periderm. Vascular cambium produces secondary vascular tissues it is
secondary xylem and secondary phloem.
4. Primary growth is from cell division at the apical meristem at plant tip form the growth
of plants’ length. While, secondary growth from cell division at lateral meristem increasing
the shoot’s girth and thickens plants’ body.
