What are the differences and similarities between human body tissues and plant tissues?

All living organisms are made up of cells. A group of cells that work together performing a function are called tissues. For both plants and animals, tissues are a group of cells working together. These tissues vary in their structure, function, and origin.


Animals have four tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous. Epithelial tissue covers the surface of all internal and external organs. Muscle tissue forms the three types of muscles: skeletal, cardiac, and...

Animals have four tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous. Epithelial tissue covers the surface of all internal and external organs. Muscle tissue forms the three types of muscles: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. They help in movement by contracting and relaxing. Connective tissue connects the different tissues, organs, and parts of the body. Examples include fat, blood, bone, and cartilage. Nervous tissue is made up of nerve cells. They conduct and transmit electrical impulses.


Plant tissue is divided into two groups: meristematic tissue and permanent tissue. Meristematic tissue includes cells with the capability to divide. This allows the cells to enlarge and then increase the length and width of the stem, roots, and leaves. Permanent tissue is a derivative of meristematic tissue. It aids in the function of the conduction of substances and storage of food. From these groups three tissue types are formed: ground, dermal, and vascular. Vascular tissue includes xylem and phloem. The dermal tissue includes the epidermis.

What is hyperbole in the story "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry?

The most obvious use of hyperbole in "The Gift of the Magi" occurs when the narrator describes Della's and Jim's evaluations of their two treasures—her long, luxuriant hair and his gold watch. Had the Queen of Sheba lived in the flat across the airshaft, Della would have let her hair hang out the window some day to dry just to depreciate Her Majesty's jewels and gifts. Had King Solomon been the janitor, with all his...

How can I analyze Moon and Six Pence by Somerset Maugham?

In "Moon and Sixpence," loosely based on the life of Paul Gaugin, Maugham presents a study of the tension between the "civilized" life of 19th century Europe, and the lead character's desire to throw off the shackles of bourgeois life. Charles Strickland is a middle-aged English stockbroker with a wife and family. By abandoning his domestic life, Strickland commits what many in European society would consider a gross betrayal of one of the foundations of...

What are some literary devices in Macbeth, Act V, Scene 1?

Act V, Scene i of Macbeth certainly continues the imagery that is prevalent in the play with its phantasmagoric realm, as in this scene a succession of things are seen or imagined by Lady Macbeth. Imagery - The representation of sensory experience Lady Macbeth imagines that she sees bloody spots (visual imagery) on the stairs; she also smells blood (olfactory imagery): Here's the smell of the blood still. All the perfumes of Arabia will not...
