What are these organs made from?
Tissues
What are the 3 things leaves are made from?
Mesophyll tissue, Xylem and phloem and Epidermal tissue
What is the definition of Mesophyll tissue?
This is where most of the photosynthesis in a plant occurs.
What is the definition of xylem and phloem?
They transport things like water, minerals ions and sucrose around the plant.
What is the definition of epidermal tissue?
This covers the whole plant.
