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...

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 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 the meaning of "juggling fiends" in Macbeth?

Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a...

This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a sense of guilt, and that man tells him: Despair thy charm. And let the angel whom thou still hast serve...

What are some external and internal conflicts that Montag has in Fahrenheit 451?

 Montag, the protagonist of Fahrenheit 451, faces both external and internal conflicts throughout the novel. Some examples of these conflicts are: External Conflicts: Conflict with the society: Montag lives in a society that prohibits books and critical thinking. He faces opposition from the government and the people who enforce this law. Montag struggles to come to terms with the fact that his society is based on censorship and control. Conflict with his wife: Montag's wife, Mildred, is completely absorbed in the shallow and meaningless entertainment provided by the government. Montag's growing dissatisfaction with his marriage adds to his external conflict. Conflict with the fire captain: Montag's superior, Captain Beatty, is the personification of the oppressive regime that Montag is fighting against. Montag's struggle against Beatty represents his external conflict with the government. Internal Conflicts: Conflict with his own beliefs: Montag, at the beginning of th...

Discuss movements that were inspired by the Civil Rights Movement and list one success for each group.

African-Americans contributed in a very big way during World War II. These contributions were demonstrated at home and on the battlefield. After the war, African-Americans properly felt it was time for them to achieve equality with white Americans. During the 1950's, the modern Civil Rights Movement was born and it had a number of successes (integration of the military and Brown vs. Board of Education as examples.) This success inspired other activists to demand change... African-Americans contributed in a very big way during World War II. These contributions were demonstrated at home and on the battlefield.
