Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B — Connective tissue
Connective tissue is the most diverse tissue type in animals, providing structural framework, support, and binding to other tissues, making it crucial for body structure.
Q2. Which plant tissue provides mechanical strength and rigidity to the plant parts, especially in mature tissues?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B — Sclerenchyma
Sclerenchyma tissues, characterized by thick lignified walls, provide maximum mechanical strength.
Q3. Which of the following is the primary function of blood, which is a specialized type of connective tissue?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C — Transportation of gases and nutrients
Blood acts as the transport system, carrying oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body.
Q4. Which type of plant tissue is primarily responsible for storage of food and water in plant cells?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C — Parenchyma
Parenchyma tissue is the most common type of simple permanent tissue, characterized by its ability to perform metabolic functions, including food and water storage.
Q5. Which type of simple permanent tissue is responsible for storage of food and water in plants?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A — Parenchyma
Parenchyma tissue is the most abundant simple permanent tissue in plants and is primarily involved in functions like storage, photosynthesis, and secretion.
Q6. Smooth muscles tissue is characterized by which feature?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D — Lack of striations and involuntary control
Smooth muscles tissue lacks striations and is involuntary, allowing for slow, sustained contractions in organs like the stomach and blood vessels.
Q7. Which type of tissue is responsible for the increase in the length and girth of the plant?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C — Meristem
Meristematic tissues are meristematic tissues characterized by active cell division, allowing for the growth (increase in length and girth) of the plant.
Q8. Which type of tissue forms the protective outer covering of the plant body?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C — Epidermis
The epidermis is the outermost protective layer covering the entire plant surface.
Q9. Which type of animal tissue is responsible for the conduction of nerve impulses?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B — Nervous tissue
Nervous tissue is specialized for transmitting electrical signals (nerve impulses).
Q10. Which tissue in animals is specialized for rapid communication and control of body functions?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B — Nervous tissue
Nervous tissue, composed of neurons, is specialized for receiving stimuli, processing information, and transmitting signals.
Q11. Which component of animal tissue is responsible for binding the cells together and providing structural support?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C — Matrix
The matrix of connective tissue is the extracellular substance that surrounds the cells, providing support and structure.
Q12. Which type of connective tissue connects muscle to bone?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A — Tendon
Tendon is the dense regular connective tissue that connects muscle to bone. Ligaments connect bone to bone.
Q13. Which connective tissue connects muscle to bone?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C — Tendon
Tendons are tough bands of fibrous connective tissue that connect muscles to bones, facilitating movement.
Q14. Which plant tissue is responsible for the increase in length and girth of the plant?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C — Meristematic tissue
Meristematic tissues are meristematic regions capable of cell division, leading to growth in plants.
Q15. Which type of tissue forms the outer covering of the plant body and protects it from environmental damage?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A — Epidermis
The epidermis is the outermost layer of cells that forms the protective covering of the plant, providing protection against water loss and pathogens.
