• tissue


  Similar specialized cells group together to perform a particular job
• Animal tissues

  Muscular tissue, Glandular tissue, Epithelial tissue
• Muscular tissue


  Contracts to bring about movement
• Glandular tissue


  made up of cells that secrete useful substances such as enzymes and hormones
• Epithelial tissue


  is a layer of cells which cover the outside of the body and the internal organs
• Plant tissues

  Epidermal tissue, Mesophyll tissue, Transport tissue, Meristem tissue
• Epidermal tissue


  is a layer of cells which cover surfaces and protect them e.g. the upper and lower surface of a leaf
• Mesophyll tissue


  contains lots of chloroplasts and carry out photosynthesis e.g. the middle layers of a leaf ( Spongy and palisade )
• Transport tissue


  made of Xylem ( water and mineral carrying ) and Phloem ( dissolved food carrying ) tubes
• Meristem tissue


  is found in the growing tips of shoots and roots
• Organs
