Cells are the basic structures of all living organisms. Cells provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food and carry out important functions.

Tissues are groups of cells that have a similar structure and act together to perform a specific function. There are four different types of tissues in animals: connective, muscle, nervous, and epithelial. In plants, tissues are divided into three types: vascular, ground, and epidermal. Groups of tissues make up organs in the body such as the brain and heart.
