Show the comparison between simple tissue and complex tissue.
Answers
Simple tissue consist of one same type of cells while complex tissue have different type of cells. Simple tissue consist of parenchyma, collenchymas and sclernchyma. While complex tissue consist of xylem and phloem. Simple tissue occur in all parts of plant and complex tissue only occur in vascular region.
The key difference between simple and complex tissue is, simple tissue is made up of only one type or kind of cell whereas complex tissue is made up of different type of cells. A simple tissue in animals is termed epithelium whereas epidermis in plants. Example muscle tissue. Complex tissues are scattered everywhere in the body to bind organs and support them. A complex tissue in animals is termed as connectivity tissue whereas vascular tissue in plants. Example blood tissue. Below are some other differences between the two tissues.
