12. _____ tissue is made of cells that are tightly packed together to form a protective barrier.
14. Groups of cells that function together to perform specialized tasks are called _____.
15. _____ is responsible for the movement of water and minerals from the roots up the stem to the leaves where these substances are used in photosynthesis.
