plants.
Reason (R): Vascular tissue has made survival of complex plants possible in
terrestrial environment.
ans: Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

17. Define tissue.

ans: A group of cells that are similar in structure and/or work together to
achieve a particular function forms a tissue.
18. Name the tissue that forms the inner lining of our mouth.

19. State the composition of matrix of cartilage.

ans: Matrix of cartilage is made up of proteins and sugars.

20. Name the regions in which parenchyma tissue is present.

vascular bundles and in leaves as chlorenchyma.
21. Animals of colder regions and fishes of cold water have thick layers of fat below the
skin. Explain, why?
ans: Thick layer of fat acts as an insulator and helps in retaining heat in
animals of colder regions.
22. What will happen if apical meristem is damaged or cut?

ans: If apical meristem is damaged or cut then the growth of plant in length
will stop.
23. What are the functions of nervous tissue?

ans: Nervous tissues conduct nerve impulses from one part of the body to
another part.
OR
The nervous tissues pass on the stimulus very quickly from one place to
another in the form of impulse.
24. What are the functions of the stomata?

ans: Stomata helps in:
• exchanging gases with the atmosphere
• transpiration
25. What is cell differentiation?

ans: • Permanent tissues are formed when the cells formed by meristematic
tissues take up specific role and lose the ability to divide.
• This process of taking up a permanent shape, size, and a function is
called differentiation.
26. Blood is a type of connective tissue. Justify.

ans: • Blood flows to transport oxygen, food, hormones and waste material
and so on and is in connection with different organs.
• Blood consists of living cells scattered in an abundant matrix, like
other connective tissues.

27. What will happen if cells are not organized in tissues?
ans: • Every organism needs to perform a lot of functions like respiration,
digestion, locomotion, etc. cells that are present in group and
specialise in one particular function to form tissues.
• Hence if cells are not organised into tissues, then these kind of highly
organised and specialised processes will become disorganised. There
will be no coordination in the functioning of cells and body.
28. Name any three factors on which the shape of a cell in a multicellular organism
depends.
ans: In multicellular organism, the shape of the cell depends mainly on:
• its functional adaptations
• the surface tension
• viscosity of the protoplasm
• the mechanical action exerted by adjoining cells
• rigidity of the cell membrane
29. Draw the structure of a plant cell and label the following parts.
(a) Axon
(b) Nerve ending
(c) Dendrite
(d) Cell body
(e) Nucleus

30. Answer sub-questions (a) to (d) on the basis of your understanding of the following
paragraph and the related studied concepts.
The epidermis is usually made of a single layer of cells. In some plants living in very
dry habitats, the epidermis may be thicker. The entire surface of a plant has an outer
covering epidermis. It protects all the parts of the plant. Epidermal cells on the aerial
parts of the plant often secrete a waxy, water-resistant layer on their outer surface.
Cells of epidermal tissue form a continuous layer without intercellular spaces. Most
epidermal cells are relatively flat. Often their outer and side walls are thicker than
the inner wall. There are small pores here and there in the epidermis of the leaf.
(a) In desert plants, epidermis has a thick waxy coating of:
(i) Chloroplast
(ii) Lignin
(iii) Cutin
(iv) Suberin
ans: Cutin
(b) Which of the following is the function of the waxy, water-resistant layer
secreted by the epidermal cells on the aerial parts of the plant?
I. protection against loss of water
II. protection against mechanical injury
III. protection against invasion by parasitic fungi
(i) both I and II
(ii) both II and III
(iii) both I and III
(iv) I, II and III
ans: I, II and III
(c) Which of the following are true for epidermal cells?

I. Epidermal cells are placed with large intercellular spaces.
II. Most epidermal cells are relatively flat.
III. Their outer and side walls are thicker than the inner wall.
(i) both I and II
(ii) both II and III
(iii) both I and III
(iv) all I, II and III
ans: both II and III
(d) What are the small pores in the epidermis of the leaf called?
ans: Stomata
