Question 4

Mention the specific function of each of the following tissues :

  1. Areolar tissue
  2. Parenchyma
  3. Xylem
  4. Tendon
  5. Adipose tissue
Answer
  1. Areolar tissue — Areolar tissue binds our skin to the underlying tissue.

  2. Parenchyma — They store food material and also provide temporary support to the plant.

  3. Xylem — Xylem cells transport water and minerals absorbed by the roots from the soil, upward to the leaves.

  4. Tendon — Tendons connect muscles to bones at joints. They are rich in white fibres.

  5. Adipose tissue — Adipose tissue forms padding under the skin which acts as an insulation for retaining body heat.
