What type of tissue carries food, waste products, and hormones throughout the body?

  1. Muscular tissue

  2. Connective tissue

  3. Liquid tissue

  4. Epithelial tissue

The correct answer is: Liquid tissue

The correct answer is liquid tissue, specifically referring to blood, which is classified as a type of connective tissue. Liquid tissue, or blood, plays a vital role in transporting essential substances throughout the body. It carries nutrients derived from food to various cells, removes waste products, and distributes hormones produced by endocrine glands to regulate bodily functions. While muscular tissue is responsible for movement and contraction, and epithelial tissue serves as a protective barrier and is involved in absorption and secretion, they do not specifically carry substances throughout the body. Connective tissue encompasses a broad category of tissues that support, bind, and protect other tissues, but when specifically discussing the transport of food, waste, and hormones, the term "liquid tissue" distinctly points to blood's critical functions. This makes it the most accurate choice in the context of the question.
