<h3>⇝ <u>Epidermis</u> :</h3>
Protective tissues includes epidermis & cork. Epidermis is basically a simple permanent tissue, protective in function. It forms one-cell-thick covering over all the parts of plant. 
<h3>⇝ <u>Characteristics of Epidermis</u> : </h3>
- Epidermis is formed of living cells, arranged in a single layer.
- In aerial parts, epidermis is covered with a waterproof and noncellular waxy covering called cuticle.
- Cells form a continuous layer, but in leaves epidermis has small openings called stomata.
- Each stoma is guarded by a pair of bean-shaped guard cells which govern opening & closing of stomatal aperture.
<h3>⇝ <u>Functions of Epidermis</u> :</h3>
- Epidermis protects the underlying tissues from mechanical injury, chemicals & infection.
- Cuticle of epidermis protects against water loss & desiccation. It checks the rate of transpiration & evaporation and prevents wilting.
- Stomata in the epidermis of leaves help in gaseous exchange during respiration & photosynthesis.

Answer:
hydrogen and helium
Explanation:
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are made up hydrogen and helium gases and called gas giants of solar system.
Uranus and Neptune also consist of more ices and methane in comparison to  Jupiter and Saturn.
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and also have rings around it consist of rocks.
Hence, the correct answer is hydrogen and helium.

Answer:
- At equilibrium, the quantity of a commodity demanded is the same as the quantity of that commodity supplied. i.e. QD = QS. The price at which QD = QS is the equilibrium price.
- When there is a shortage, the quantity of goods demanded would be greater than quantity supplied, as the price falls below the equilibrium price. i.e. QD>QS
- When there is surplus, the quantity of goods demanded is less than the quantity supplied, as price increases above the equilibrium price. i.e. QD<QS.
For example, in the table showing the demand and supply schedule for T shirt at different prices (see file attached), the equilibrium price for a unit of T shirt is $3, at equilibrium, QD = QS (i.e. 30 = 30).
A shortage is recorded when the price of T shirt falls below equilibrium price of $3 as shortage of T shirt is recorded, i.e. @ $2, QD>QS (40>20). A shortage of 20 is recorded.
Surplus occurs as price increases above equilibrium price of which QD<QD, i.e. @ $4, a surplus of 20 is recorded.
