Overview

Tissue is a group of similar cells that perform a specific function. Multicellular plants and animals are made of many kinds of tissues, and each tissue has a special job. Plant tissues are mainly of two types: meristematic tissue and permanent tissue. Animal tissues are classified into epithelial,

Key Concepts

A tissue is a group

A tissue is a group of cells that are similar in structure and perform a specific function.

Meristematic tissue is made of actively

Meristematic tissue is made of actively dividing cells. Its only function is to produce more cells for plant growth. These cells are small, thin-walle

Permanent tissue is a non

Permanent tissue is a non-dividing tissue that forms the bulk of the plant body. It is formed from meristematic cells after differentiation and is div

Parenchyma is a simple permanent supporting

Parenchyma is a simple permanent supporting tissue made of large thin-walled living cells with intercellular spaces. It stores food, and some cells co

Collenchyma is a simple permanent supporting

Collenchyma is a simple permanent supporting tissue made of living, elongated cells that are thick at the corners or edges. It is found in leaf stalks
