Ques 3) case based study questions :-
Meristematic tissue take up a specific role and lose 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.
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.
Simple Permanent 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 parenchymatissue is found?
(a) Aerenchyma
(b) Chlorenchyma
(c) Sclerenchyma
(d) Parenchyma
(4) What is mean by Differentiation?
(5) Enlist the type of parenchyma tissue.
2) Blood is a type of connective tissue. The cells of connective tissue are loosely spaced and
embedded in an intercellular matrix. The matrix may be jelly like, fluid, dense or rigid. The nature of
matrix differs in concordance with the function of the particular connective tissue.
Blood has a fluid (liquid) matrix called plasma, in which red blood corpuscles (RBCs), white blood
corpuscles (WBCs) and platelets are suspended. The plasma contains proteins, salts and
hormones. Blood flows and transports gases, digested food, hormones and waste materials to
different parts of the body.
Bone is another example of a connective tissue. It forms the framework that supports the body. It
also anchors the muscles and supports the main organs of the body. It is a strong and nonflexible
tissue. Bone cells are embedded in a hard matrix that is composed of calcium and phosphorus
compounds. Two bones can be connected to each other by another type of connective tissue
called the ligament. This tissue is very elastic.
Another type of connective tissue, cartilage, has widely spaced cells. The solid matrix is composed
of proteins and sugars. Cartilage smoothens bone surfaces at joints and is also present in the nose,
ear, trachea and larynx.
Areolar connective tissue is found between the skin and muscles, around blood vessels and nerves
and in the bone marrow. It fills the space inside the organs, supports internal organs and helps in
repair of tissues.
(1) A connective tissue
(a) Has no matrix
(b) Covers the skin
(c) Has abundant matrix
(d) None of these
(2) Areolar connective tissue is found between
(a) Skin and muscles

(c) Both a & b
(d) None of these
(3) Two bones are connected to each other by another type of connective tissue called__
(a) Ligament
(b) Cartilage
(c) Bone marrow
(d) Blood
(4) What are the function of connective tissue?
(5) Give the examples of connective tissue.
