Biology
1 answer:

Answer:

Food waste

Explanation:

Food waste is an organic compound, unlike the other choices. Organic compounds are biodegradable because living organisms, such as decomposers, have evolved mechanisms of breaking down these large carbon-based compounds/polymers into smaller molecules for energy. Food waste is therefore easily recycled into the environment.

The others do not have naturally occurring organisms to break them down or reduce them. They would, therefore, accumulate in the environment. This is exactly what is happening to plastc pollution. Accumulation of plastic in the environment is due to fact that they are not broken down into simpler molecules by any naturally occurring bacteria or organisms in the environment.

Plant Tissue Types- List the 4 types of plant tissue and their function
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

ground tissue- is the most common type of plant tissue found in the interior of the plant and can support, store and provide photosynthesis for the plant. Made up of 3 basic plant cells ( Parenchyma, Collenchyma, and Sclerenchyma cells)

dermal tissue- Provides cover and protection for plant. Usually found on the outside similar to skin. Epidermis cells make up the dermal layer and secrete a waxy substance called the cuticle that also protects the plant.

vascular tissue- includes xylem & phloem and helps with water and food transport. The xylem and phloem are kept together in vascular bundles running throughout the ground tissue.

meristem tissue- is growth tissue. This tissue made up of rapidly dividing cells and can be found at the tips of the roots and stems of plants. the growth areas of tips of roots and stems is called APICAL MERISTEM and the secondary growth that makes a plant wider is called LATERAL MERISTEM.
