Question 11
Identify the type of tissue in the following: skin, bark of tree, bone, lining of kidney tubule, vascular bundle.
Skin: Squamous epithelial tissue - Describes a single layer of cells that are flat and scale-like in shape.
The bark of tree: Epidermal tissue/cork- It is the outermost layer of the cell that covers the whole plant
Bone: Connective tissue- Connective tissue provides support, binds together, and protects tissues and organs of the body.
The lining of kidney tubule: Cuboidal epithelial tissue- Simple cuboidal epithelium is a layer of cube-like shape cells, i.e. are as wide as tall.
Vascular bundle: Complex permanent tissue (Xylem or phloem)- Vascular bundles are a collection of tube-like tissues that flow through plants, transporting substances to various parts of the plant.
