Question. Write a short note on neuron.
Answer. Nerve cells or Neuron is the highly specialised unit of cells. They have the ability to receive stimulus from within the body or outside the body And to send impulses to different body parts.

Question. Define division of labour.
Answer. Division of labour is a type of adaptation for cells where different cells are specialised to perform different type of work. Thus decreasing the work load on a single cell and work done becomes more efficient.

Question. Why striated muscles are called skeletal and striped muscles?
Answer. These type of muscles are attached to the bones and helps in the movement of body thus known as skeletal muscles. On the other hand, as the muscle fibres show alternative dark and light stripes thus known as striped muscles.

Question. What is the junction between the terminal part of a axon and the dendrite of the next neuron called?
Answer. Synapse is the place between the two neurons where at one side axon are present and on the other side dendrite. This helps in the transmission of impulses from one neuron to other.

Question. How does cork act as a protective tissue?
Answer. Cork forms several layers on the tree which are known as bark of tree. The properties of cell like absence of intercellular spaces and presence of suberin, a chemical present present in their wall makes the cell impervious to gases and water and thus protects the undrlying tissues from desiccation.

Question. What is the function of xylem and phloem?
Answer. Xylem: It carries water and minerals upward through roots to parts of plant body.
Phloem: It carries prepared food through photosynthesis from leaves to different body parts.

Question. What happens to the cells formed by the Meristematic tissue?
Answer. Cells formed from meristematic tissue takes up a specific role and losses the ability to divide. These cells with some specified functions are then called permanent tissue. This differentiation of permanent tissue forms meristematic tissue.

Question. What the different parts of neuron?
Answer. a) Cell body, contains central nucleus, cytoplasm
(b) dendrons, short processes arising from cyton or cell body, takes impulse towards the cell body.
(c) axon, a single long cylindrical process, takes impulse away from the cell body.

Question. Write the steps involved in an experiment involved in studying of epidermis.
Answer. – Take a fresh leaf, stretch and break it from the middle with pressure.
– Peel of the outermost covering of the leaf
– gently take it off and stain wit safranin
– now put it on the slide and observe under microscope
– you would be able to see the epidermal cells with stomata guarded by guard cells imbedded in them.

Question. What are the functions of blood cells?
Answer. (A) RBC contains haemoglobin which has high oxygen carrying capacity so transports oxygen in the body.
(B) WBC provides immunity to the body by fighting against the foreign invading organisms.
(C) Platelets at site of injury forms clotting of blood to prevent blood loss from the body.

Question. Write any three features of the framework forming connective tissue of the body.
Answer. one the hard connective tissue which forms frame work of the body
– hard and inflexible
– facilitates movement of the body
– cells are embedded in matrix of calcium and phosphate compounds.

Question. Write the functions of the following :
(a) root nodule
(b) cork
(c) neuron
Answer. (a) root nodules contains nitrogen fixing bacteria which fixes nitrogen from atmosphere into the soil.
(b) cork protects plant from foreign invasion of pathogen and excessive heat and loss.
(c) neuron transmit message in the form of impulse to brain and spinal chord which controls and coordinates all the body activities.

Question. Give reason.
(a) Blood, a connective tissue is red in colour.
(b) Movement of food in alimentary canal is not in control of an organism.
(c) Growth of plants takes place in some specific areas.
Answer. (a) RBC, red blood cells a component of blood are the cells containing haemoglobin in them which gives red colour to blood.
(b) As the movement of food is involuntary in nature so is not under a person will.
(c) This is so as only meristematic tissue present at tips ans lateral sides of roots and stems nodes and internodes which are responsible for growth of plants.

Question. Plants requires less energy than animals. Give reason.
Answer. Most of the component in plant tissues is dead and do not have to move in search of food so needs less energy than animals which have most of the cells living which need energy for their maintenance. Also animals are depended on other plants and animals for food so have to travel to fulfil its needs.

Question. Meristematic tissue cells have a prominent nucleus and dense cytoplasm but they lack vacuole. Give reason
Answer. Meristematic tissue works for division of cells thus have a prominent nucleus with dense cytoplasm which enables fast and easy division of cells to generate new cells. But do not have to store food so vacuole is absent in it as vacuoles main function is to store food and waste products.

Question. Name the different type of blood cells present in the body of an animal.
Answer. There are three different types of blood cells present:
(A) Red blood cells
(B) White blood cells
(C) Platelets

B) forms shock-absorbing cushions around visceral organs of the body like kidney.
C) provides shape to the body.

Question. Parenchyma is very important for plants. Justify
Answer. Various functions performed by parenchyma:
– Acts as a packing tissue
– Provides support to the plant body
– Acts as a storage tissue by storing and assimilating food.
– Allows gaseous exchange through intercellular spaces
– Chlorenchyma: specialised form of parenchyma performs photosynthesis due to presence of chloroplast.
– Aerenchyma: specialised form of parenchyma provides buoyancy to aquatic plants .
– Acts as a water storage tissue in xerophytes.

Answer. On the basis of position, meristem is of three types:
(a) Apical meristem –

(b) Lateral meristem-
Position: Found beneath the bark
Function: helps in the increase in the diameter or girth of the stem and root
