Elsci LT 2.2: Chapter 8: Animals' Need To Survive

Animals have specialized tissues that work together in organ systems to carry out essential functions for survival. The four main tissue types - epithelial, connective, muscular and nervous tissue - each have distinct characteristics and functions. Organ systems like the integumentary, skeletal, muscular and circulatory systems work to provide protection, support, movement and transport throughout the body. Additional organ systems govern essential processes such as digestion, respiration, excretion, sensation and reproduction. Together these specialized tissues and organ systems allow animals to fulfill their basic needs including obtaining food and nutrients, responding to stimuli, and reproducing.

leaves  - Vascular cambium - produces secondary phloem

Phototropism   Light  
- Vessel elements - same lang pero mas malaki sya 
- 2 types of cells in the phloem : 
Heliocentrism   Sunlight

Geotropism /  Gravity  
Gravitropism    Positive - downwards 
Negative - upwards 

Hydrotropism   Water
