Question 3:
How are simple tissues different from complex tissues in plants?
Simple tissue | Complex tissue |
These tissues consist of only one type of cells. | These tissues are made up of more than one type of cells. |
The cells are more or less similar in structure and perform similar functions. | Different types of cells perform different functions. For example, in the xylem tissue, tracheids help in water transport, whereas parenchyma stores food. |
Three types of simple tissues in plants are parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma. | Two types of complex permanent tissues in plants are xylem and phloem. |
