Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Tissues of the plants can be simple or complex. Simple tissues are made up of a single type of cells. Certain types of cell are parenchyma cells, sclerenchyma cells, and collenchyma cells. The tissues, which are made up of more than two types of cells, are known as complex tissues.

- You develop a callus, which is a thickening of the epidermis, from a pair kd I'll-fitting shoes. To treat the callus, you decide to shave off some of the excess epidermis. While doing this , you notice that there is no pain or bleeding . Why wouldn't it cause paint to remove only the superficial part of the epidermis ? Why wouldn't it bleed ? Unfortunately, you go a bit overboard and feel a sudden pinch, after which you notice you are bleeding . What has happened ? Are you still in the epidermis ?

Multiple Choice О Once they reach the skin surface, exposure to environmental stresses, like drying and UV light, kills the cells. О Epidermal cells die as they move away from their nutrient supply in the dermis. о All cells in your body die after about a month, which is how long it takes for a cell to reach the stratum corneum.
