Plant and Animal Tissues Quiz

Responsible for increasing the length of the plant.

Located at the tips of stems and roots, this tissue is responsible for primary growth, increasing the length of the plant.

This type of meristem expands the girth of the plant, responsible for secondary growth, resulting in thicker stems and roots.

This specialized tissue is found in plants and is responsible for cell generation, growth, and differentiation, effectively forming the building blocks of the plant.

This type of plant tissue, made up of dead cells, provides mechanical strength and support, allowing the plant to stand tall and withstand stress.

Although it is true that meristematic tissue actively divides, these cells are very much alive and play a crucial role in plant growth.

The lateral meristem increases the girth of the plant, leading to the formation of wood and bark, allowing the plant to grow thicker over time.

Apical meristems are found at the tips of stems, responsible for extending the length of the plant and forming new leaves and buds.

Unlike plants that exhibit localized growth, animals grow uniformly throughout their bodies, meaning all parts of their bodies grow at a similar rate.

This type of tissue gives rise to specific structures and functions within an animal's body, enabling specialized tasks such as muscle contraction, nerve signal transmission, and gland secretion.
