1. Differentiate all types of simple permanent tissue.

2. What is Meristematic Tissue? Explain Different Types with Location, Function, and
Diagram

Ans: Meristematic tissue is a group of actively dividing cells found in specific regions of a
plant. These cells are small, thin-walled, tightly packed, and contain a large nucleus with no
vacuoles. They help in the growth of plants by continuously producing new cells, which later
differentiate into permanent tissues.

3. Differentiate between:

(i) Axon and Dendron

(ii) Tracheids and Vessels

(iii) Sclerids and Fibers

(iv) Blood and Lymph


Ans:
3. Explain the structure of a areolar, adipose, and nerve tissue, also write their location
and function.

Ans: 1. Areolar Tissue

• Structure: A loose connective tissue made up of fibroblasts, collagen, and elastic fibers in a
gel-like matrix. It has loosely arranged fibers with spaces between them.

• Location: Found beneath the skin, between muscles, around blood vessels, and in organs.

• Function: Provides support, flexibility, and strength to surrounding tissues. It helps in


binding organs together and plays a role in wound healing.

2. Adipose Tissue

• Structure: Made of fat-storing cells (adipocytes) filled with lipid droplets. It appears as a
loosely packed tissue with cells containing large fat vacuoles.

• Location: Found under the skin (subcutaneous layer), around organs like the kidneys, in the
bone marrow, and around the heart.

• Function: Stores energy in the form of fat, provides insulation to maintain body
temperature, and acts as a cushion to protect organs from shocks.
3. Nerve Tissue

• Structure: Composed of neurons (nerve cells) and neuroglial (supporting) cells. Neurons
have a cell body, dendrites, and a long axon for signal transmission.

• Location: Found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves throughout the body.

• Function: Responsible for transmitting electrical impulses between different parts of the
body, coordinating functions, and responding to stimuli.

4. Explain all the type of epithelium tissue with diagram

Ans: Epithelial tissue is a protective layer of cells that covers the body’s surface, lines
internal organs, and forms glands. It is classified into five types based on structure and
function:

1. Simple Squamous Epithelium consists of a single layer of thin, flat cells. It is found in the
alveoli of lungs, blood vessels, and kidney tubules, allowing diffusion and filtration of
substances.

2. Simple Cuboidal Epithelium is made of cube-shaped cells and is located in kidney tubules,
glandular ducts, and the ovary surface. It helps in secretion and absorption of fluids and
nutrients.

3. Simple Columnar Epithelium has tall, rectangular cells and is found in the digestive tract,
uterus, and gallbladder. It aids in absorption and secretion of mucus and digestive enzymes.

4. Ciliated Epithelium consists of columnar or cuboidal cells with hair-like cilia on their
surface. It is found in the respiratory tract (trachea) and fallopian tubes, helping in the
movement of mucus and reproductive cells.

5. Stratified Squamous Epithelium has multiple layers of cells, with the outermost being flat.
It is present in the skin, mouth, and oesophagus, providing protection against friction,
dehydration, and infection.
5. Write short note on protective tissue.

Ans: Protective tissue in plants helps in protection from water loss, infections, and
mechanical damage. It consists of epidermis and cork (periderm).The epidermis is the
outermost layer of cells that covers leaves, stems, and roots. It has a waxy cuticle that
prevents water loss and contains stomata for gas exchange.Cork (Periderm) forms in older
stems and roots, replacing the epidermis. It is made of dead cells with suberin, which makes
it waterproof and protects against infections and injuries.Thus, protective tissue plays a vital
role in safeguarding plants from environmental stress.
