Plant Tissues Quiz

What are the two main types of plant tissues?

• Epidermal tissue and vascular tissue

• Xylem tissue and phloem tissue

• Meristematic tissue and permanent tissue

• Dermal tissue and ground tissue

Where are meristematic tissues found in plants?

• In the leaves

• At the base of the plant

• In the flowers

• Growing tips of roots and stems

What is the function of meristematic tissues?

• Seed dispersal in fungi

• Respiration in plants

• Photosynthesis in animals

• Cell division and growth in plants

What are the characteristics of permanent tissues?

• Thick cell walls, dead at maturity, specialized functions

• Thin cell walls, alive at maturity, general functions

• No cell walls, alive at maturity, specialized functions

• Thick cell walls, alive at maturity, general functions

Name a complex tissue found in plants.

• Permanent

• Meristematic

• Xylem and phloem

What are the main parts of xylem?

• Tracheids, vessel elements, xylem fibers, xylem parenchyma

• Xylem vessels

• Xylem tubes

• Phloem elements

What are the main parts of phloem?

• phloem vessels, phloem tracheids, phloem sclerenchyma

• sieve tube elements, companion cells, phloem fibers, phloem parenchyma

What is the function of xylem?

• Regulating temperature

• Transporting water and nutrients

• Producing seeds

• Absorbing sunlight

What is the function of phloem?

• Transporting sugars and other organic compounds within the plant

• Supporting the plant structure

• Producing oxygen through photosynthesis

• Absorbing water and minerals from the soil

What is the difference between meristematic and permanent tissues?

• Meristematic tissues are permanent, while permanent tissues are temporary

• Meristematic tissues are undifferentiated and actively dividing, whereas permanent tissues are fully differentiated and have specialized functions.

• Meristematic tissues have specialized functions, while permanent tissues are actively dividing

• Meristematic tissues are fully differentiated, while permanent tissues are undifferentiated
