Verified step by step guidance

Understand the definition of a tissue in the context of Anatomy & Physiology. A tissue is a group of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function.

Differentiate between the options provided. Recognize that a single cell carrying out all life processes is not a tissue, but rather an individual cell.

Identify that a collection of organs working together is known as an organ system, not a tissue.

Recognize that a type of protein providing structural support to cells refers to components like collagen, which is part of the extracellular matrix, not a tissue itself.

Conclude that the correct description of a tissue is a group of similar cells that perform a common function, as tissues are the building blocks of organs and organ systems.
