Plant Tissue Functions and Types

The video tutorial by Mr. Misser Witz explores the different types of plant tissues and their functions. It begins with an introduction to the concept of tissues, explaining how cells work together for a common function. The video covers four main types of plant tissues: dermal, vascular, ground, and meristematic. Dermal tissue serves as a protective layer, vascular tissue aids in the transport of water and nutrients, ground tissue is involved in photosynthesis and storage, and meristematic tissue is responsible for plant growth. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the functions of each tissue type.

What is the primary function of tissues in multicellular organisms?

• To absorb sunlight

• To store energy

• To work together for a common function

• To provide color

What is the main role of dermal tissue in plants?

• To store food

• To protect the plant and prevent water loss

• To transport nutrients

• To conduct photosynthesis

Which type of vascular tissue is responsible for transporting water in plants?

• Phloem

• Ground

• Xylem

• Dermal

How does phloem differ from xylem in terms of transport direction?

• Phloem transports both upwards and downwards

• Phloem does not transport anything

• Phloem transports only downwards

• Phloem transports only upwards

What is the primary function of ground tissue in leaves?

• To transport water

• To protect the plant

• To store minerals

• To conduct photosynthesis

In which part of the plant is ground tissue primarily involved in storage?

• Leaves

• Roots

• Flowers

• Stems

What is the main role of meristematic tissue in plants?

• To transport nutrients

• To store water

• To facilitate growth

• To conduct photosynthesis

Where are apical meristem cells primarily located?

• In the bark

• In the flowers

• At the tips of roots and stems

• In the leaves

What type of growth is facilitated by cambium in plants?

• Primary growth

• Secondary growth

• No growth

• Tertiary growth

Which type of cambium is responsible for producing new vascular tissues?

• Cork cambium

• Vascular cambium

• Apical cambium

• Dermal cambium
