AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Ground tissue serves as a site for photosynthesis, provides a supporting matrix for the vascular tissue, and helps to store water and sugars. Secondary tissues are either simple (composed of similar cell types) or complex (composed of different cell types).

Detailed explanation-2: -Leaves are sites of photosynthesis The cells in a middle layer of leaf tissue called the mesophyll are the primary site of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Parenchyma tissues are found in the soft parts of the plant like the leaf. They help in photosynthesis and storage of food. Parenchyma tissues are made of cells with simple structures.

Detailed explanation-4: -Parenchyma forms the major component within organs. The parenchyma’s cells are often isodiametric. They have thin cellulose walls. They perform various functions such as Photosynthesis, secretion, and storage.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cortex cells provide structural support for the stems. In leaves, this tissue just inside the epidermis is called the mesophyll (“middle of the leaf”). Mesophyll tissue is the site of most photosynthesis reactions in the leaf.
