Question

What are the differences between simple permanent tissues and complex permanant tizsues?

Answer 1

• Simple permanant tissue consist of one same type of cells while complex permanant tissue have different type of cells.
• Simple permanant tissue consist of parenchyma, collenchymas, aerenchyma and sclernchyma. While complex permanant tissue consist of xylem and phloem.
• Simple permanant tissue occur in all parts of plant and complex permanant tissue only occur in vascular region.
• Simple permanant tissue have wide distribution and complex permanant tissue have restricted distribution.
• Complex permanant tissue carries out function of conduction or transportation.
• Simple permanant tissues perform wide range of functions.
• The function of simple permanant tissue is storage of food, while the function of complex permanant tissue is protection.
• Complex permanant tissue prevent water loss and they even help in gaseous exchange.
