    • C. Ground tissue system
    • D. Meristematic tissue system
  3. Question 3 · difficulty L2 · understanding

    The ground tissue system primarily includes tissues involved in

    • A. photosynthesis, storage and support
    • B. long-distance transport only
    • C. pollen formation only
    • D. secondary growth only
  4. Question 4 · difficulty L2 · understanding

    The vascular tissue system is composed mainly of

    • A. xylem and phloem
    • B. epidermis and stomata
    • C. parenchyma and collenchyma only
    • D. cork and cuticle only
  5. Question 5 · difficulty L3 · understanding

    "Girdling Experiment" was performed by Plant Physiologists to identify the plant tissue through which:

    • A. water is transported
    • B. food is transported
    • C. for both water and food transportation
    • D. osmosis is observed
  6. Question 6 · difficulty L3 · application

    A tissue sample contains stomata and guard cells. It most likely belongs to the

    • A. epidermal tissue system
    • B. vascular tissue system
    • C. pith only
    • D. secondary xylem only
  7. Question 7 · difficulty L3 · application

    A plant tissue conducts water and mineral salts upward from roots. It belongs chiefly to

    • A. xylem
    • B. phloem
    • C. epidermis
    • D. cortex only
  8. Question 8 · difficulty L3 · application

    A tissue transports sugars from leaves to growing or storage regions. It is primarily

    • A. phloem
    • B. xylem
    • C. epidermis
    • D. sclerenchyma only
  9. Question 9 · difficulty L4 · analysis

    A transverse section of a leaf shows an outer epidermis, internal mesophyll and vascular bundles. Which mapping of these structures to tissue systems is correct?

    • A. Epidermis: epidermal; mesophyll: ground; vascular bundles: vascular
    • B. Epidermis: ground; mesophyll: vascular; vascular bundles: epidermal
    • C. Epidermis: vascular; mesophyll: epidermal; vascular bundles: ground
    • D. All three belong to the ground tissue system
  10. Question 10 · difficulty L4 · application

    Which pairing correctly matches tissue system and major role?

    • A. Epidermal—protection; ground—storage/support; vascular—transport
    • B. Epidermal—long-distance transport; ground—only reproduction; vascular—protection
    • C. Ground—only conduction; vascular—only photosynthesis; epidermal—storage
    • D. All three perform identical roles

Common mistakes in The tissue systems - epidermal, ground and vascular

Recorded against questions in this topic that are not shown above, so none of these points at an answer you can see on this page.

  • Classifies the entire leaf by its most visible tissue only.
  • Assumes all vascular transport is performed by xylem.
