C. Connective tissue
D. Muscular tissue
Answer Is A
02. ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS
1. Which tissues are responsible for secondary growth in plants
Answer:
Cambium tissue is responsible for secondary growth in plants.
2 . State the types of animal and plant tissues
Answer:
Animal tissues: Epithelial tissues, connective tissue, muscular tissues and Nervous tissue.
Plant tissues: Meristematic and Permanent tissues.
3. Writea short note on the comparison between parenchyma,
collenchyma and Sclerenchyma
Answer:
Parenchyma cells have intercellular spaces between their cells while both Sclerenchyma and
collenchyma do not have intercellular spaces. Collenchyma provides mechanical support with living cells
thickened at corners, while Sclerenchyma provides support with dead, lignified cells.
4. What is the function of:
A . Epithelial tissues
Answer:
Epithelial tissues form a covering protective layer for the underlying tissue.
B. Nerve tissue
Answer:
Nerve tissues are involved in transmission of impulses to and from the Brain.
C. Meristematic tissue
Answer:
Meristematic tissue carries out cell division so they form new plant cells.
D . Permanent Tissues
Answer:
Permanent tissues are fully divided and differentiated thus they carry out specialized functions like
transport of water by xylem.
