Fill out the information needed in the following:

A. Plant Tissue

Kinds Example Function Location

- Apical meristems - Give rise to the primary plant - Tips of stems and
(Shoot apex and Root body and are responsible for the roots, in buds and in a
apex) extension of the roots and shoots. ring around the stem in
woody plants.

-Intercalary meristems - Enables the monocot leaf blade - At the bases of leaf

grass leaves to elongate even after leaves attach to a
repeated mowing. stem)

2. Permanent - Xylem - Responsible for the conduction - In stems, leaves, and

also provides support to the
plants.

- Phloem - Helps in the translocation of - In stems, leaves, and

food that is prepared by roots.

various parts of the plant.

- Parenchyma - Protect plant tissues and prevent - Outer layer of stems,

water loss. roots, and leaves.

- Collenchyma, - Makes up bulk of plant mass. - Stems, roots, leaves

Sclerenchyma
B. Animal Tissue

Kinds Example Function Location

- Simple squamous and -Responsible for diffusion. -Simple: capillaries,
