V. Short answer Questions

1. What are intercalary meristems? How do they differ from other meristems?

It 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 internodes e.g. grasses.

2. What is complex tissue? Name the various kinds of complex tissues.

Complex tissues are made of more than one type of cells that work together as a unit. Common examples are xylem and phloem

3. Mention the most abundant muscular tissue found in our body. State its function

The most abundant muscular tissue found in our body is skeletal muscle or striated muscle.

Functions:

Skeletal muscle:

• These muscles are attached to the bones and are responsible for the body movements and are called skeletal muscles.
• They work under our control and are also known as voluntary muscles.
• They occur in the muscles of limbs (biceps and triceps of arms).
• They undergo rapid contraction.

4. What is skeletal connective tissue? How is it helpful in the functioning of our body?

Skeletal muscle: These muscles are attached to the bones and are responsible for the body movements and are called skeletal muscles. They work under our control and are also known as voluntary muscles. The muscle fibres are elongated, non-tapering, cylindrical, unbranched and showing alternating dark and light bands, giving them the striped or striated appearance. These cells possess many nuclei (multinucleate). They occur in the muscles of limbs (biceps and triceps of arms).They undergo rapid contraction.

5. Why should gametes be produced by meiosis during sexual reproduction?

• The constant number of chromosomes in a given species is maintained by meiotic division.
• Crossing over causes genetic variations among the species from one generation to the next.

6. In which stage of mitosis the chromosomes align in an equatorial plate? How?

Ans: Metaphase

The duplicated chromosomes arrange on the equatorial plane and form the metaphase plate. Each chromosome gets attached to a spindle fibre by its centromere which is known as the chromosomal fibre. The centromere of each chromosome divides into two, each being associated with a chromatid.

7. How would you differentiate between meristematic and permanent tissue?

8. Differentiate fibres from sclereids.

9. Which tissue is the main component of tendons and ligaments? How do they differ in function?

10. What are the fibres present in the matrix of loose connective tissue ?

collagen fibres, elastin fibres and fibroblast cells.

11. How are collagen fibres organized in dense connective tissues

Dense connective tissue is a fibrous connective tissue densely packed with fibres and fibroblasts. It is the principal component of tendons and ligaments.

12. Which tissue is called middleman between tissue cells and blood? Why?

• The matrix consists of collagen fibres, elastin fibres and fibroblast cells.
• It joins skin to muscles, fills space inside organs and is found around muscles, blood vessels and nerves.
• The matrix of this tissue plays an important role in diffusion of oxygen and nutrients from small blood vessels.
• It also helps in repair of tissues after injury and fixes skin to underlying muscles

13. Write one point of difference between

a) Bone and cartilage

b) Simple and compound epithelial tissue.

14. Why is blood considered to be a connective tissue?

The blood is the fluid connective tissues which link different parts of the body. The cells of the connective tissue are loosely spaced and are embedded in an intercellular matrix

15. Give the sequence of the events occurring during prophase of mitosis.

During this stage chromosomesbecome short and thick and are clearly visible inside the nucleus. Centrosome splits into two daughter centrioles, they move apart and occupy opposite poles of the cell. Each centriole is surrounded by radiating rays, termed as aster rays. Spindle fibres appear between the two centrioles. Nuclear membrane and nucleolus disappear gradually

16. Why is meiosis called reductional division and mitosis as equational division?

Meiosis:

The process of meiosis involves divisions of genetic material.

The first division is called reduction division.

First division reduces the number of chromosomes diploid(2n) to haploid(n).

Mitosis:

The process of cell division where chromosomes replicate and get equally distributed in two daughter cells.

The chromosome number in each daughter cell is equal to that is diploid.

Hence mitosis is known as equational division

VI. Answer in detail.

1. What are permanent tissues? Describe the different types of simple permanent tissues.

Permanent tissues are those in which, growth has stopped either completely or for the time being. At times, they become meristematic partially or wholly. Permanent tissues are of two types, namely: (i) simple tissue and (ii) complex tissue.

Simple tissues are homogeneous tissues composed of structurally and functionally similar cells.

eg., Parenchyma, Collenchyma and Sclerenchyma

Parenchyma

Parenchyma are simple permanent tissues composed of living cells. Parenchyma cells are thin walled, oval, rounded or polygonal in shape with well developed spaces among them. In aquatic plants, parenchyma possesses intercellular air spaces, and is named as Aerenchyma. When exposed to light, parenchyma cells may develop chloroplasts and are known as Chlorenchyma.

Function

Parenchyma may store water in many succulent and xerophytic plants. It also serves the functions of storage of food reserves, absorption, buoyancy, secretion etc.,

Collenchyma

Collenchyma is a living tissue found beneath the epidermis. Cells are elongated with unevenly thickened walls. Cells have rectangular oblique or tapering ends and persistent protoplast. They possess thick primary non-lignified walls.

Function

They provide mechanical support for growing organs.

Sclerenchyma

Sclerenchyma consists of thick walled cells which are often lignified. the Sclerenchyma cells are dead and do not possess living protoplasts at maturity. Sclerenchyma cells are grouped into fibres and sclereids. Fibres are elongated sclerenchymatous cells, usually with pointed ends. Their walls are lignified.

Fibres are abundantly found in many plants. The average length of fibres is 1 to 3 mm, however in plants like Linum usitatissimum (flax), Cannabis sativa (hemp) and Corchorus capsularis (jute), fibres are extensively longer, ranging from 20 mm to 550 mm.

Sclereids

Sclereids are widely distributed in plant body. They are usually broad, may occur in single or in groups. Sclereids are isodiametric, with liginified walls. Pits are prominent and seen along the walls. Lumen is filled with wall materials. Sclereids are also common in fruits and seeds

2. Write about the elements of Xylem.

Xylem is a conducting tissue which conducts water, mineral nutrients upward from root to leaves. Xylem gives mechanical support to the plant body.

Xylem is composed of: (i) xylem tracheids (ii) xylem fibres (iii) xylem vessels and (iv) xylem parenchyma.

Xylem tracheids:

• These are elongated or tube-like dead cells with hard, thick and lignified walls.
• Their ends are tapering, blunt or chisel-like and devoid of protoplast.
• They have large lumen without any content.
• Their function is conduction of water and providing mechanical support to the plant.

Xylem fibres:

• These cells are elongated, lignified and pointed at both the ends.
• Xylem fibres provide mechanical support to the plant.

Xylem vessels:

• These are long cylindrical, tube like structures with lignified walls and wide central lumen.
• These cells are dead as these do not have protoplast.
• They are arranged in longitudinal series in which the partitioned walls (transverse walls) are perforated, and so the entire structure looks-like a water pipe.
• Their main function is to transport of water and also to provide mechanical strength.

Xylem parenchyma:

• These are living and thin walled cells.
• The main function of xylem parenchyma is to store starch and fatty substances.

3. List out the differences between mitosis and meiosis.
