Jack is examining a plant stem slide under the microscope. He can distinctly identify the epidermis, sclerenchyma, and phloem tissues. Arrange the tissues according to the tissue systems that they belong to.

A. Dermal tissue, ground tissue, and vascular tissue respectively

B. Ground tissue, vascular tissue, and dermal tissue respectively

C. Ground tissue, vascular tissue, and dermal tissue respectively

The correct answer is option (a.) Dermal tissue, ground tissue, and vascular tissue respectively

The Epidermis tissue belongs to the dermal tissue system. The S clerenchyma tissue belongs to the ground tissue system. And the Phloem tissue belongs to vascular tissue systems.

The answer is A. Dermal tissue, ground tissue, and vascular tissue respectively.

1. Epidermis is dermal tissue. Dermal tissue covers the plant from the outside. It consists of epidermis and periderm. Epidermis is a single layer that covers young plants.

2. Sclerenchyma is ground tissue. Ground tissue has a variety of functions. It consists of sclerenchyma and parenchyma. The function of sclerenchima is support and strength of roots, stems, and leaves.

3. Phloem is vascular tissue. Vascular tissue has a role in transport of minerals, water, and organic compounds. It consists of phloem and xylem. Phloem transport organic compounds, such as carbohydrates, hormones, etc.
