Unicellular vs. Multicellular Organisms

A type of tissue that is responsible for growth in plants. It's made up of actively dividing cells with dense cytoplasm, thin walls, and prominent nuclei.

A protective layer found on the outer surface of plant stems and leaves, preventing water loss. It is usually waxy and waterproof.

A type of plant tissue that provides support and strength, particularly in young stems and leaves. Its cells have thickened cell walls, giving it a strong structure.

A type of plant tissue that acts as a 'filling' tissue in leaves, roots, and stems. It helps in storing food and water, facilitating photosynthesis.

The tissue in plants that is responsible for transporting nutrients and sugars throughout the plant.

A group of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function.

The process where different cells in a multicellular organism specialize in performing specific tasks.

The ability of a cell to perform a specific function, like contracting muscles or conducting nerve impulses.

Plant tissue that provides structural support. Often made of dead cells.

Plant tissues that have stopped dividing and have specific functions, like conducting food or water.

The ability of a plant to grow only in certain regions, like the tips of roots and shoots.

The more uniform growth pattern in animals where cells can divide throughout the body.
