(c) Tissues that transport food in plants.
(d) Tissues that provide flexibility in plants.
(ii) List the role of cork in plants.
Answers
Answer:
a. tendon
b. Adipose tissue
c. phloem
I am sorry but u am not sure about the answer of the other 2 questions
Answer:
I) a) A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches muscle to bone. Tendons may also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. A tendon serves to move the bone or structure.
b) Adipose tissue (body fat) is crucial for health. Along with fat cells, adipose tissue contains numerous nerve cells and blood vessels, storing and releasing energy to fuel the body and releasing important hormones vital to the body's needs.
c) The vascular system is comprised of two main types of tissue: the xylem and the phloem. The xylem distributes water and dissolved minerals upward through the plant, from the roots to the leaves. The phloem carries food downward from the leaves to the roots.
d) The flexibility in plants is due to Collenchyma tissue. Collenchyma, living cells with minute intercellular differences, are stretched out. Pectin and cellulose make up their cell walls.
II) The walls of cork cells contain a chemical called suberin, which makes them impermeable to water and gases. Thus, cork cells prevent water loss from plants and also make them more resistant to bacterial and fungal infection.
