Q1 What is a tissue?
Answer. Tissue is a group of cells that are similar in structure and are organised together to
perform a speci c task.
Page : 69 , Block Name : Questions
Q2 What is the utility of tissues in multi-cellular organisms?
Answer. In unicellular organisms, a single cell performs all the basic functions such as respiration,
movement, excretion, digestion, etc. But in multicellular organisms, cells are grouped to form
tissues. These tissues are specialised to carry out a particular function at a de nite place in the
body. For example, the muscle cells form muscular tissues which helps in movement, nerve cells
form the nervous tissue which helps in transmission of messages. This is known as division of
labour in multicellular organisms. It is because of this division of labour that multicellular
organisms are able to perform all functions ef ciently.

Q1 Name types of simple tissues?
Answer.Simple permanent tissues are of three types: Parenchyma, Collenchyma, and
Sclerenchyma. Parenchyma tissue is of further two types - aerenchyma and chlorenchyma.

Q2 What does a neuron look like?
Answer. A neuron consists of a cell body witha nucleus and cytoplasm. It has two important
extensions known as the axon and dendrites. An axon is a long thread-like extension of nerve cells
that transmits impulses away from the cell body. Dendrites, on the other hand, are thread-like
extensions of cell body that receive nerve impulses. Thus, the axon transmits impulses away from
the cell body, whereas the dendrite receives nerve impulses. This coordinated function helps in
transmitting impulses very quickly.

Q3 Give three features of cardiac muscles.
Answer. Three features of cardiac muscles are:
(i) Cardiac muscles are involuntary muscles that contract rapidly, but do not get fatigued.
(ii) The cells of cardiac muscles are cylindrical, branched, and uninucleate
(iii) They control the contraction and relaxation of the heart.

Q4 Differentiate between parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma on the basis of their cell
wall.
Q5 What are the functions of the stomata?
Answer. Functions of the stomata:
(i) They allow the exchange of gases (C02 and 02) with the atmosphere.
(ii) Evaporation of water from the leaf surface occurs through the stomata. Thus, the stomata help
in the process of transpiration.
Q6 Diagrammatically show the difference between the three types of muscle bres.
Answer. The three types of muscle bres are:Striated muscles, smooth muscles (unstriated muscle
bre), and cardiac muscles.

Q14 How does the cork act as a protective tissue?
Answer. The outer protective layer or bark of a tree is known as the cork. It is made up of dead
cells. Therefore, it protects the plant against mechanical injury, temperature extremes, etc. It also
prevents the loss of water by evaporation.
