The Cell P2 – Describe the four main tissue types in the body Inside the body‚ there are four mains types of tissue which include the Epithelial‚ Muscular‚ Nervous and Connective. Tissues are known as groups of cells which have a certain structure to retain a specific job. Epithelial Tissue covers the body surface and forms the lining for most internal cavities. It protects our insides‚ it’s known as the skin. It also absorbs in the intestinal lining and stomach‚ otherwise known as the gut. It

Objective: To study osmosis in living plant tissue. Biological principles: Water potential is the tendency for water molecules to enter or leave a system by osmosis through a differentially permeable membrane‚ while osmosis is the process in which water molecules move passively from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential through a differentially permeable membrane. Therefore‚ potato cells‚ with their differentially permeable membrane‚ are selected as the medium
