Biology: Tissue and Organ Hierarchy Quiz

Histology

• Marcello Malpighi is considered the 'Father of Histology'.

Tissue Study

• The study of tissues is known as histology.

Tissue Analysis

• Microtome is commonly used for studying tissues by embedding and sectioning tissue.

Biological Organization

• Tissue is the biological organizational level between cells and a complete organ.

Etymology

• Marcello Malpighi discovered that the English word 'tissue' derives from the French word 'tissu'.

Plant Anatomy

• The vascular tissue system in plant anatomy is responsible for transporting fluids and nutrients internally.

Meristem Location

• Apical meristem is primarily present at the tips of stems and roots.

Meristem Function

• Lateral meristem causes the organ to increase in diameter and girth.

Tissue Function

• Chlorophyll-containing tissues, such as chlorenchyma, manufacture nutrients by photosynthesis and store reserve nutrients in plant.

Intercalary Meristem

• The function of intercalary meristem in plants is to increase the length of stems and roots.

Test your knowledge of the hierarchical organization of biological organisms, from cells to tissues to organs. Learn about the function and composition of tissues and how they contribute to the formation of organs. Explore the historical development of the concept of tissue in biology.
