Q38. Plasma membrane or Cell membrane is the outermost covering of the cell that separates the
contents of the cell from its external environment. The plasma membrane is flexible and is
made up of organic molecules called lipids and proteins. The flexibility of the cell membrane
also enables the cell to engulf in food and other material from its external environment. Such
processes are known as endocytosis. The plasma membrane allows or permits the entry and
exit of some materials in and out of the cell. It also prevents movement of some other
materials. The cell membrane, therefore, is called a selectively permeable membrane.
Some substances like carbon dioxide or oxygen can move across the cell membrane by a
process called diffusion. There is spontaneous movement of a substance from a region of high
concentration to a region where its concentration is low. Similar thing happens in cells – some
substance like CO2 (carbon dioxide is cellular waste and requires it to be excreted out by the
cell) accumulates in high concentrations inside the cell. In the cell’s external environment, the
concentration of CO2 is low as compared to that inside the cell. As soon as there is a
difference of concentration of CO2 inside and outside a cell, CO2 moves out of the cell, from a
region of high concentration, to a region of low concentration outside the cell by the process
of diffusion.
Water obeys the law of diffusion. The movement of water molecules through such a
selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. The movement of water across the plasma
membrane is also affected by the amount of substance dissolved in water. Thus, osmosis is
the net diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane toward a higher solute
concentration. (4)B

(a) Proteins (b) Lipids (c) Proteins and Lipids (Lipoproteins) (d) none of above
(2) Which of the following substances is known as cellular waste?

(3) The movement of a substance from the region of higher concentration to the region where its
concentration is lower is called as _____________
(a) Osmosis (b) Diffusion (c) Excretion of CO2 (carbon dioxide) (d) All of these
(4) Why is the cell membrane known as a selectively permeable membrane?
Q39. A violin and a flute may both be played the same time in an orchestra. Both sounds travel
through the same medium, that is, air and arrive at our ear at the same time. Both sounds
travel at the same speed irrespective of the source. But the sounds we receive are different.
This is due to the different characteristics associated with the sound. (4)P
(i) If we strike a table lightly, we hear a soft sound. If we hit the table hard we hear a
louder sound up to large distance. Why?
(ii) Determine which of the following has higher pitch railway horn or guitar? Why?
(iii) Define tone.
(iv) Why sound wave is called as a longitudinal wave?

Q38 Meristematic tissue takes up a specific role and loses the ability to divide. As a result, they
form a permanent tissue. This process of taking up a permanent shape, size, and a function is
called differentiation. Differentiation leads to the development of various types of permanent
tissues. (4)B
Simple Permanent Tissue
Tissue made of one type of cells, which look like each other. Such tissues are called simple
permanent tissue. Parenchyma is the most common simple permanent tissue. It consists of
relatively unspecialised cells with thin cell walls. They are living cells. They are usually loosely
arranged, thus large spaces between cells (intercellular spaces) are found in this tissue. This
tissue generally stores food. In some situations, it contains chlorophyll and performs
photosynthesis, and then it is called chlorenchyma. In aquatic plants, large air cavities are
present in parenchyma to help them float. Such a parenchyma type is called [Link]
another type of permanent tissue is sclerenchyma. It is the tissue which makes the plant hard
and stiff. We have seen the husk of a coconut. It is made of sclerenchymatous tissue. The cells
of this tissue are dead. They are long and narrow as the walls are thickened due to lignin.
Complex Tissue
Complex tissues are made of more than one type of cells. All these cells coordinate to perform
a common function. Xylem and phloem are examples of such complex tissues. They are both
conducting tissues and constitute a vascular bundle. Xylem fibres are mainly supportive in
function. Phloem transports food from leaves to other parts of the plant. Except phloem
fibres, other phloem cells are living cells
(1) Tissue made of only one type of cell is termed as _________
(a) Simple permanent tissue (b) Complex permanent tissue
(c) Simple Meristematic tissue (d) Complex Meristematic tissue
(2) Xylem and phloem are examples of
(a) Meristematic tissue (b) Simple tissue
(c) Protective tissue (d) Complex tissue
(3) In aquatic plants, which type of parenchyma tissue is found?
(a) Aerenchyma (b) Chlorenchyma
(c) Sclerenchyma (d) Parenchyma
(4) What is meant by Differentiation?
