question 39

Explanation:

1. The dermal tissue system acts as the plant's outer protective layer, analogous to human skin.
2. The vascular tissue system is responsible for long-distance transport of water and nutrients in plants, similar to the human circulatory system.
3. The ground tissue system makes up the bulk of the plant, with tissues not involved in outer protection or long-distance transport.
4. Xylem is the plant tissue composed of water-conducting cells.
5. Phloem is the plant tissue that conducts sugars and other organic nutrients.
6. Stomata are the small pores in the dermal tissue that facilitate gas exchange.
7. Guard cells are the specialized cells that open and close the stomatal pores.
8. Mesophyll is the ground tissue in leaves where most photosynthesis takes place.
