Tissues subjective type questions

Grade: 9 Plant Tissues-Subjective Type Questions -1 Date:
1 What are stomata? How guard cells in leaf epidermis contribute to the process of transpiration?
Stomata is tiny pores, found in the epidermis of leaves, stems and other organs
Guard cells control the opening and closing of stomata, tiny pores on the leaf surface. During
transpiration, guard cells open stomata to allow the exchange of gases (CO2 and O2) and release of
excess water vapor. This process helps maintain a balance between gas exchange and water
conservation.
2 Compare and contrast the structure and function of sieve tubes and companion cells in phloem tissue.
Sieve tubes are elongated cells responsible for transporting organic nutrients in plants. Companion cells
are closely associated with sieve tubes and support their function by providing necessary materials.
While sieve tubes lack a nucleus, companion cells have a prominent nucleus and play a role in loading
and unloading nutrients into sieve tubes.
3 (i) A long tree has several branches. The tissue that helps in the sideways conduction of water in the
branches.
(a) Collenchyma b. phloem c. xylem parenchyma d. xylem vessels.
(ii) Name the types of simple tissue.
How many types of elements together make up the xylem tissues? Name them.
(i) Xylem vessels; (ii) Parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma.
(iii) 4, Vessels, tracheid, xylem parenchyma and xylem fibres.
4 How does the cork act as a protective tissue?
Cork acts as a protective tissue because its cells are dead and compactly arranged without intercellular
spaces. They have deposition of suberin on the walls that make them impervious to gases and water.
5 Name the tissue that makes husk of coconut. Write three characteristics of this tissue.
Sclerenchyma tissue makes the husk of a Coconut. The characteristic of sclerenchyma tissue are as
follows:
(i) Sclerenchyma cells are dead and without any protoplasm.
(ii) It is composed of long, narrow and thick-walled cells.
(iii) The walls of sclerenchyma cells are greatly thickened with deposition of lignin (acts as cement and
hardens the cells).
Grade: 9 Plant Tissues-Subjective Type Questions -2 Date:
1 What changes do occur on the outer layer of a young stem when it becomes a tree?
A When a plant grows older, the outer protective tissue undergoes certain changes. A strip of secondary
meristem replaces the epidermis of the stem. Cells on the outside are cut off from this layer. This forms
the several layer thick cork or the bark of the tree. Cells of cork are dead and compactly arranged
without intercellular spaces. They also have a chemical called suberin on their walls which make them
impervious to gases and water.
2 Do the roots of a plant continue growing after their tips are removed? Explain giving reason.
A Roots do not grow after their tips are removed. Apical meristem is present at the tips of roots, which
divide to increase the length of roots. When tips are removed, apical meristem is also removed and
hence the roots stop growing.
3 (i) Why do sclerenchyma cells have a narrow lumen? (ii) Where are these tissues present and why?
A (i) Due to deposition of lignin.
(ii) In stems around vascular bundles, in veins of leaves and in hard coverings of seeds and nuts.
It makes the plant hard, stiff, provides strength.
4 Which elements of xylem
(a) help in transport of water and minerals
(b) store food
(c) provide mechanical support.
A a. Vessels and Tracheid.
b. Xylem parenchyma
c. Xylem fibres, tracheid and vessels.
5 Define the process of differentiation. Name any two simple and two complex permanent tissue in
plants.
A The process of taking up a permanent shape, size, and a function by the cells is called differentiation.
Simple: parenchyma/collenchyma/sclerenchyma.
complex: phloem and xylem.
Grade: 9 Plant Tissue Case Study Question Date:
The growth of plants occurs only in certain specific regions. This is because the dividing tissue, also known as
meristematic tissue, is located only at these points. Depending on the region where they are present,
meristematic tissues are classified as apical, lateral and intercalary. New cells produced by meristem are
initially like those of meristem itself, but as they grow and mature, their characteristics slowly change, and
they become differentiated as components of other tissues. Apical meristem is present at the growing tips
of stems and roots and increases the length of the stem and the root. The girth of the stem or root increases
due to lateral meristem (cambium). Intercalary meristem seen in some plants is located near the node Cells
of meristematic tissue are very active, they have dense cytoplasm, thin cellulose walls and prominent nuclei.
They lack vacuoles.
(I) Which meristem helps in increasing the girth of the plant?

(a) Primary meristem
(b) Apical meristem
(c) Intercalary meristem
(d) Lateral meristem.
(II) The meristem present at the base of the internode is_______

(a) Lateral meristem
(b) Intercalary Meristem
(c) Apical Meristem
(d) All of the above.
(III) Mention the characteristic of Meristematic tissues?

OR
(iii) What is mean by Differentiation?
Grade: 9 Plant Tissue Assertion-Reason Type Questions Date:
These consists of two statements –Assertion (A) and Reason (R).
Answer these questions selecting the appropriate option given below.
(a)Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
(b)Both A and R are true, and R is not the correct explanation of A
(c)A is true but R is false
(d)A is false but R is true.
1 Assertion: Plant tissues are mostly dead.

Reason: Dead tissues can provide mechanical strength and need less maintenance.
2 Assertion: Most of plant tissues are dead.
Reason: Due to sedentary existence of plants, dead cells provide mechanical strength more easily than
live ones and need less maintenance.
3 Assertion: Parenchyma cells help in storage of food.
Reason: Parenchyma cells are the main seats of photosynthesis.
4 Assertion: Small kidney shaped pores present on leaf called stomata.
Reason: Stomata is always present on root hairs for water absorption.
5 Assertion: Xylem tissues transport water and minerals in plants.
Reason: Xylem vessels are made up of living cells that actively pump water.
6 Assertion: Permanent tissue is composed of mature cells.
Reason: Meristematic tissue is a group of actively dividing cells.
