The Tissue Test

Study Notes

Meristematic tissue forms new cells that differentiate into permanent tissue.
Sclerenchyma is a plant tissue with dead cells.
Tracheids are a water-conducting tissue in gymnosperms.
Collenchyma provides flexibility in plants.
Cardiac muscular tissue functions without fatigue.
Areolar tissue helps in tissue repair and fills space inside organs.
Blood transports oxygen, food, hormones, and waste materials in the body.
Epithelial tissue forms a barrier to keep different body systems separate.
Bones provide support, shape, and protection to the body.
Nervous tissue transmits messages throughout the body through neurons.
Plants and animals are made of different types of tissue.
Most of the tissues in plants are supportive and dead, while most tissues in animals contain living protoplasm.
Meristematic tissue divides throughout life for the growth and reproduction of plants.
Permanent tissues are derived from meristematic tissue but have lost the power of division.
Connective tissues include areolar, dense regular, adipose, skeletal, and fluid connective tissue.
Epithelial tissues are tightly packed and form a continuous sheet, covering most organs and cavities within the body.
Xylem and phloem are conducting tissues and constitute vascular bundle.
Sclerenchyma cells have lignified cell walls, leaving no intercellular spaces.
Cork is a several-layer thick protective tissue formed from a secondary meristem.
Neurons have the ability to receive stimuli and conduct impulses to different parts of the body.

Dislocation of hand bones caused by ligament breakage.
Removing tip of sugarcane plant doesn't remove intercalary meristem.
Nail inserted in tree trunk at 1m height remains in same position after 3 years.
Plant will die if root tips are cut during replanting due to absence of meristematic tissue.
Tissue A is xylem and carries water.
Tissue B is phloem and carries food for plants.
Tissue C is vascular bundles.
Ligament connects hand bones and keeps them in place.
Intercalary meristem increases the length of sugarcane plant.
Proper absorption of water and minerals won't occur if roots don't grow.
