TEXTBOOK QUESTIONS AND THEIR ANSWERS

Q. 1.
What is a tissue?
Ans.
A group of cells that are similar in structure and / or

work together to achieve a particular function is
called a tissue.
Q. 2.
What is the utility of tissues in multicellular

organisms?
Ans.
Multicellular organisms show division of labour. A

particular function is carried out by a cluster of cells
at a definite place in the body. This cluster of cells,
called a tissue, is arranged and designed so as to give
the highest possible efficiency of function in
multicellular organisms.
Q. 3.
Name types of simple tissues.
Ans.
Simple tissues are of three types parenchyma,

collenchyma and sclerenchyma.

Q. 4.
Where is apical meristem found?
Ans.
Apical meristem is found at the tips of roots and

shoots.
Q. 5.
Which tissue makes up the husk of coconut?
Ans.
Sclerenchymatous tissues makes up the husk of

coconut.
Q. 6.
What are the constituents of phloem?
Ans.
Phloem is composed of four elements
Q.7.
(a) Sieve tubes
(b) Companion cells (c) Phloem
parenchyma
(d) Phloem fibres
Name the tissue responsible for movement in our

body.
Ans.
Muscular tissue is responsible for movement in our

body.
Q. 8.
What does a neuron look like?
Ans.
Neuron is a thread or hair like structure, with palm

leaf shaped structure at one end.
Q. 9.
Give three features of cardiac muscle.
Ans.
Features of cardiac muscle :

(i) Cardiac muscles show characteristics of both
striated and unstraiated muscles.
(ii) Intercalated discs are present in the cardiac
muscle fibres.
(iii) The muscles show rhythmic contractions.
Q. 10. What are the functions of areolar tissue?

Ans.
Areolar tissue binds the skin with underlying parts. It

fills the space inside the organs, supports internal
organs and helps in repair of tissues.
Q. 11. Define the term tissue

Ans.
A group of cells that are similar in structure and / or

work together to achieve a particular function is
called a tissue.
Q. 12. How many types of elements together make up

the xylem tissue? Name them.
Ans.
Four types of elements together make up the xylem

tissue. These elements are
(a) tracheids,
(b) vessels,
(c) xylem parenchyma and
(d) xylem fibres
Q. 13. How are simple tissues different from complex

tissues in plants?
Ans.
Simple tissues are made up of only one type of cells,

which look like each other. On the other hand,
complex tissues are made up of more than one type
of
cells.
Parenchyma,
collenchyma
and
sclerenchyma are the examples of simple plant tissue

whereas xylem and phloem are complex tissue.
Q. 14. Differentiate between parenchyma, collenchyma
and sclerenchyma on the basis of their cell wall.
Ans.
On the basis of cell wall, differences between

parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma are
Parenchyma

Q. 15.
Ans.
What are the functions of stomata?

Stomata are necessary for exchanging gases with the
atmosphere. Transpiration (loss of water in the form
of water vapour) also takes place through stomata.
Q. 16. Diagrammatically show the difference between

the three types of muscle fibres.
Ans.
(c)
A. Striated muscles B. Unstriated muscles C. Cardiac muscles
Q. 17. What is the specific function of the cardiac

muscle?
Ans.
Cardaic muscles contract with a certain rhythm. All

the muscles contract in unison, creating an efficient
pumping action of the heart. The muscles of the
heart show rhythmic contraction and relaxation
throughout life.
Q. 18. Differentiate between striated, unstriated and

cardiac muscles on the basis of their structure
and site / location in the body.

Q. 20. Name the following.

(a)
Tissue that forms the inner lining of our mouth.
(b)
Tissue that connects muscle to bone in humans.
(c)
Tissue that transports food in plants.
(d)
Tissue that stores fat in our body.
(e)
Connective tissue with a fluid matrix.
(f)
Tissue present in the brain.
Ans. (a)
Squamous epithelial cells (b) Tendons
(c)
Phloem
(d) Adipose tissue
(e)

(f) Nervous tissue
Q. 21. Identify the type of tissue in the following : skin,

bark of tree, bone, lining of kidney tubule,
vascular bundle.
Ans.
Skin Squamous epithelium

Bark of tree Secondary meristem or cork
Bone Supportive connective tissue/skeletal tissue
Lining of kidney tubule Ciliated epithelium
Vascular bundle Xylem and phloem (conducting
tissues)
Q. 22. Name the regions in which parenchyma tissue is

present.
Ans.
In small herbaceous plants, parenchyma makes up

the bulk of the plant body. It is mainly found in the
cortex, pitch, ground tissue of petioles mesophyll of
leaves and also in vascular bundles.
23.
Ans.
What is the role of epidermis in plants?

The entire surface of a plant has the outer covering
of epidermis. It protects all the parts of a plant.
Epidermis protects the plants against loss of water,
mechanical injury and invasion by parasitic fungi.
24.
Ans.
How does the cork act as a protective tissue?

Cork cells are dead. The walls of cork cells are
heavily thickened by the deposition of suberin. This
structural characteristic helps the cork to protect and
prevent itself from infection and mechanical injury.
It also prevents desiccation, by preventing loss of
water from the plant body.
