Which of the following is NOT a permanent tissue?

• xylem

• collenchyma

• meristem

• epidermal

What is the function of cuticle?

• protects the underlying tissues

• transports water

• transports mineral and nutrients

• reduces loss of water through transpiration

Which tissue provides flexibility and elasticity in plants?

• parenchyma tissue

• sclerenchyma tissue

• xylem tissue

• collenchyma tissue

Where can the lateral meristem or cambium be found?

• between xylem and phloem tissue

• under the epidermis

• between the ground tissues

• between the stem and root

The type of tissue which offers the most support is

• epidermis

• collenchyma

• sclerenchyma

• parenchyma

'Cells change their shapes and structures to become specialised cells'. In which zone does this change takes place?
