Type of Activity: Performance Task Time Frame: Week 1
Introduction Theory
Tissues: A group of cells having similar structure, origin and functions is called a tissue. There are
two types of tissues — plant tissues and animal tissues.
In this activity you will be examine and study the visible structures of plant and animal tissues
under the microscope using the requested prepared slides.
Competency/ies 1. Distinguish prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells according to their distinguishing
features
2. Classify different cell types (of plant/animal tissues) and specify the functions of
each
Objectives: 1. To examine the parts of the tissues.
2. To differentiate different types of plants and animal tissues from prepared (permanent) slides
and to draw their labelled diagrams
3. Encourage the student to develop a healthy self-image.

Analysis:
1. What are the four types of animal tissues?
The four types of animal tissues are epithelial tissues, connective tissues,
muscular tissues, and nervous tissues.
2. What is the most common feature of all epithelial cells?
The most common feature of all epithelial cells is that they form tightly bound
sheets of cells that tight junctions prevent the passage of molecules between cells. This is why one of the common
functions of all epithelial cells is for protection, others being sensation, absorption, and secretion.
3. What is the importance of the connective tissues to the body?
The importance of connective tissues to the body is their functions. These tissues are responsible for supporting,
structuring, transporting nutrients and oxygen, protecting, and repairing damaged tissues in the body.
4. What makes the different muscle tissues similar? What makes them different?
There is a similarity and many differences among the types of muscle tissues (smooth, skeletal, and cardiac muscle
tissues). The similarity of the three types of muscle tissues is that they are used for body movement, either voluntary or
involuntary. Their differences, conversely, are that they are located at different parts of the body. Smooth muscle tissues
are only found in the digestive system, walls of blood vessels, trachea, and in the urinary tract. Skeletal muscle tissues are
6
located at the muscles attached to a bone that they produce the shape of our body. Cardiac muscle tissues, of course, the
muscle tissues that comprises the heart.
5. Differentiate between the two types of vascular tissues.
In plants, the two types of vascular tissues are xylem and phloem. Xylem is responsible for transporting water and
dissolved minerals from the roots to the shoots and leaves. Phloem, on the other hand, is responsible for transporting
food from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
