In animals, subcutaneous fat functions as an insulating layer that prevents heat loss from the body in cold environment. so animals in cold areas and fishes of cold 'water possess thicker layer of subcutaneous fat. Fat also functions as reserve food during periods of food scarcity.

Epidermis is the outer protective. Layer of plant body which does not allow the parasites to gain entry into plant's internal tissues due to (i) absence oi intercellular spaces; (ii) thick outer walls;(iii) deposition of cutin and wax in the cuticle covering the epidermis; (iv) silica and other depoRead more

Blood platelets are responsible for the release of thromboplastin necessary for blood clotting at the site of injury. In the absence of blood platelets, blood clotting will not occur after injury and bleeding will continue from the wound. This will finally cause the death of the injured person.

Apical meristems are present at the tips of roots, shoots, branches and leaves. They form the growing parts of the roots and stems. If they are damaged or cut, the growth in length of that part will cease to occur.

Blood is considered as mobile connective tissue because, during circulation, it passes through all the organs of the body and in doing so, it connects different tissues and organs of the body.
