Understanding Plant and Animal Tissues: A CBSE Biology Quiz

1. Define the term tissue.

Tissue is a type of musical composition.

Tissue refers to a thin, woven fabric used for wrapping gifts.

Tissue is a term used in plumbing to refer to a blockage in pipes.

Tissues are groups of cells with related functions, not related to music, fabric, or plumbing.

Explanation

Tissues are groups of cells with related functions, not related to music, fabric, or plumbing.

2. What is Histology?

The study of the human mind and behavior.

A field of study focused on ancient history.

The branch of biology which deals with the study of tissues and their organization in organs, is called histology

The study of celestial bodies and their movements.

Histology specifically refers to the study of tissues and their organization in organs within the field of biology.

Explanation

Histology specifically refers to the study of tissues and their organization in organs within the field of biology.

3. How many types of meristems are present in plants?

2: Apical meristems, Root meristems

4: Root meristems, Leaf meristems

1: Apical meristems

3 : Apical meristems, Lateral

Plants have three main types of meristems - apical meristems located at the tips of roots and shoots, lateral meristems responsible for growth in width, and intercalary meristems present at the base of leaves or internodes.

Explanation

Plants have three main types of meristems - apical meristems located at the tips of roots and shoots, lateral meristems responsible for growth in width, and intercalary meristems present at the base of leaves or internodes.

4. Name the parenchyma with chlorophyll which performs photosynthesis.

Aerenchyma

Collenchyma

(chlorenchyma

Sclerenchyma

Chlorenchyma is the parenchyma tissue that contains chlorophyll and is responsible for photosynthesis. Collenchyma and sclerenchyma are types of supportive tissues in plants, while aerenchyma is a tissue with air spaces that help with buoyancy in aquatic plants.

Explanation

Chlorenchyma is the parenchyma tissue that contains chlorophyll and is responsible for photosynthesis. Collenchyma and sclerenchyma are types of supportive tissues in plants, while aerenchyma is a tissue with air spaces that help with buoyancy in aquatic plants.

5. Which plant tissue makes the plant hard and stiff and thickened due to lignin, with no intercellular spaces?

Parenchyma

Collenchyma

Sclerenchyma

Epidermis

Sclerenchyma cells provide structural support to the plant due to their thick, lignified walls. Collenchyma cells primarily provide flexible support, Parenchyma cells are responsible for various metabolic functions, and the epidermis is the outer protective layer of the plant.

Explanation

Sclerenchyma cells provide structural support to the plant due to their thick, lignified walls. Collenchyma cells primarily provide flexible support, Parenchyma cells are responsible for various metabolic functions, and the epidermis is the outer protective layer of the plant.

6. What are the functions of epidermal tissue in Plants?

To provide structural support and stability to the plant.

For storage of nutrients and energy.

To transport water and sugars throughout the plant.

The epidermal tissue in plants primarily serves the purposes of protection, gas exchange, and absorption of water and minerals. It is not responsible for storing nutrients or energy, transporting water and sugars, or providing structural support and stability.

Explanation

The epidermal tissue in plants primarily serves the purposes of protection, gas exchange, and absorption of water and minerals. It is not responsible for storing nutrients or energy, transporting water and sugars, or providing structural support and stability.
