Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Plants have two types of tissues: simple tissues and complex tissues. Simple tissues are composed of same type of cells that work in coordination to perform the same function whereas the complex tissues are composed of more than one type of cells, which all together perform the same function. Parenchyma, sclerenchyma, and collenchyma are simple tissues whereas xylem and phloem are complex tissues.

- Which of the following statements about age gradients within the plant body is FALSE? Select one: a. Age gradients within the plant body include an apical-basal gradient where the youngest cells are near the apices (tips of shoots and roots). b. Age gradients within the plant body reflect the plant cells’ lack of mobility due to their shared walls. c. Phloem is oldest toward the outermost cell layers of the tree trunk and xylem is oldest toward the innermost cell layers of a tree trunk. d. All of the statements are true. e. Age gradients within the plant cells include walls that are youngest immediately adjacent to the plasma membrane and progressively older toward the middle lamella.arrow_forward6) Match the tissue on the left with the description of the function it generally performs for the plant on the right: a) phloem flexible support, such as in petioles and herbaceous stems. b) xylem forms an outer barrier for leaves, young stems and roots. c) collenchyma conducts water and dissolved nutrients from the roots to other plant tissues. support of vascular tissue in older woody plants and formation of very hard plant structures such as nut shells. d) periderm e) parenchyma metabolism and storage. f) sclerenchyma conducts molecules produced by the plant throughout the plant body. g) epidermis provides physical protection for woody plants.
