What are different types of tissues in plants? Describesimplle tissues
Answers
Explanation:
There are two types of tissues present in plants:
a) Meristematic tissues
b) Permanent tissues
Meristematic tissues are present in growing region of plant part.
Permanent tissues do not generally divide further.
Permanent tissues having all cells similar in structure and function are called simple tissues. Simple tissue is made of only one type of cells. The various simple tissues in plants are parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma.
☆Question:-
What is a tissue? What are different types of tissues?
☆Answer:-
A tissue, in biology, is defined as a group of cells that possess a similar structure and perform a specific function. The word tissue originates from French, which means “to weave.”
●Types of tissue:
•In animals, there are 4 types of tissues, namely:-
- Muscle tissue (cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle tissues).
- Connective tissue (cartilage, blood, bone).
- Nervous tissue (neurons and neuroglia).
- Epithelial tissue (simple epithelium, simple cuboidal, simple columnar epithelium, etc).
•Plants have their own set of tissues, namely:-
- Dermal Tissues (epidermal cells, stomata, trichomes).
- Ground tissues (Collenchyma, parenchyma, sclerenchymaissues).
- Connective tissue (cartilage, blood, bone).
- Nervous tissue (neurons and neuroglia).
- Epithelial tissue (simple epithelium).
●Concept of Tissues:
The concept of tissues can be traced back to 1801 when it was introduced by Xavier Bichat, a French anatomist and pathologist. He had proposed that tissues are a central element in human anatomy, concluding that organs are essentially a collection of distinct tissues.
