Section E Read the text carefully and answer the questions: [al ‘The covering or protective tissues in the animal body are epithelial tissues. Epithelium covers most organs and cavities within the body. It also forms a barrier to keep different body systems separate. Epithelial tissue cells are tightly packed and form a continuous sheet, The skin, which protects the body, is also made of squamous epithelium. Skin epithelial cells are arranged in many layers to prevent wear and tear. This columnar epithelium facilitates movement across the epithelial bartier. In the respiratory tract, the columnar epithelial tissue also has Cilia, which are hair-like projections on the outer surfaces of epithelial cells. Cuboidal epithelium forms the lining of kidney tubules. (i) Identify the type of epithelial tissue shown in the following figure.38. 39.

Read the text carefully and answer the questions: lal Tomogeneous mixtures are regarded as solutions or true solutions. Heterogeneous mixtures are of two types. ‘These are suspensions and colloidal solutions. These differ in the size of the particles responsible for the difference in their properties. In a suspension, the particle size is more than 10° cm whereas in a colloidal solution, it ranges between 10° cm to 10-7 cm. The two phases which constitute colloidal solutions, are dispersed phase and dispersion medium. Based upon theit nature, the colloidal solutions are classified into eight types. The mixture of the non-reacting gases is always homogeneous irrespective of their nature. Therefore, it is not a colloidal solution.
