5. Lining of the small intestine is made up of ………………….. \nAnswer: \ncolumnar epithelium<\/p>\n IV. State whether true or false. If false, correct the statement :<\/span><\/p>\n1. Epithelial tissue is protective tissue in an animal body. \nAnswer: \nTrue.<\/p>\n 2. Bone and cartilage are two types of areolar connective tissue. \nAnswer: \nFalse. \nCorrect statement: Bone and cartilage are two types of supportive connective tissue.<\/p>\n 3. Parenchyma is a simple tissue. \nAnswer: \nTrue.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
4. Phloem is made up of tracheids. \nAnswer: \nFalse. \nCorrect statement: Phloem is made up of sieve tubes.<\/p>\n 5. Vessels are found in collenchyma. \nAnswer: \nFalse. \nCorrect statement: Vessels are found in the xylem.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
V. Answer briefly :<\/span><\/p>\nQuestion 1. \nWhat are intercalary meristems? How do they differ from other meristems? \nAnswer: \nIntercalary meristem lies between the region of permanent tissues and is part of primary meristem which is detached due to formation of intermittent permanent tissues. It is found either at the base of leaf e.g. Pinus or at the base of intemodes e.g. grasses.<\/p>\n Question 2. \nWhat is complex tissue? Name the various kinds of complex tissues. \nAnswer:<\/p>\n \n- Complex tissues are made of more than one type of cells that work together as a unit.<\/li>\n
- Complex tissues consist of parenchyma and sclerenchyma cells. However, collenchymatous cells are not present in such tissues.<\/li>\n
- Common examples are xylem and phloem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
Question 3,. \nMention the most abundant muscular tissue found in our body. State its function. \nAnswer: \nConnective tissue is the most abundant and widely distributed tissue. It provides a structural framework and gives support to different tissues forming organs.<\/p>\n Question 4. \nWhat is skeletal connective tissue? How is it helpful in the functioning of our body? \nAnswer: \nThe supporting or skeletal connective tissues forms the endoskeleton of the vertebrate body. They protect various organs and help in locomotion. The supportive tissues include cartilage and bone.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Question 5. \nWhy should gametes be produced by meiosis during sexual reproduction? \nAnswer: \nMeiosis is important as it produces gametes i.e., male or female germ cells. During meiosis, a germ cell or gamete divides to make four new sex cells. As a result of fertilization two gamates join together to form an egg or zygote. Therefore only if gametes are produced, fertilization can take place.<\/p>\n Question 6. \nIn which stage of mitosis the chromosomes align in an equatorial plate? How? \nAnswer: \nMetaphase (meta – after) The duplicated chromosomes arrange on the equatorial plane and form the metaphase plate. Each chromosome gets attached to a spindle fibre by its centromere. The centromere of each chromosome divides into two each being associated with a chromatid.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
VI. Answer in detail:<\/span><\/p>\nQuestion 1. \nWhat are the permanent tissues? Describe the different types of simple permanent tissues. \nAnswer: \nPermanent tissues: \nPermanent tissues are those in which, growth has stopped either completely or for the time being. At times, they become meristematic partially or wholly.<\/p>\n Different types of simple permanent tissue : \nSimple tissue: Simple tissue is homogeneous-composed of structurally and functionally similar cells. Eg : Parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma.<\/p>\n Parenchyma:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\n- Parenchyma are simple permanent tissue composed of living cells.<\/li>\n
- Parenchyma cells are thin-walled, oval, rounded, or polygonal in shape with well-developed spaces among them.<\/li>\n
- In aquatic plants, parenchyma possesses intercellular air spaces and is named as aerenchyma.<\/li>\n
- When exposed to light, parenchyma cells may develop chloroplasts and are known as chlorenchyma.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Functions:<\/p>\n \n- Parenchyma may store water in many succulent and xerophytic plants.<\/li>\n
- It also serves the functions of storage of food reserves, absorption, buoyancy, secretion, etc<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
