CHAPTER 6 TISSUE

1. funtions of stomata?
ans. the small pores on the lower surface of the leaves. These pores are
called stomata. The function of stomata are as follows:-
.It helps in the transpiration of water
. Stomata are responsible for the interchange of gases
2. Differentiate between striated (Skeletal Muscles), unstriated (Smooth
Muscles), and cardiac muscles based on their structure and site/location in the
body?
Ans.

Smooth
Skeletal Muscles(straited) Cardiac Muscles
Muscles(unstraited)

cylindrical.

2.Cells are not branched. 2.Cells are not branched. 2.Cells are branched.

uninucleate.
4. Alternate light and dark 4.There are no bands 4. Few faint bands

Differentiating on the basis of site/location:

Skeletal Muscles Smooth Muscles Cardiac Muscles

linings of the alimentary present on the walls
like hands, legs and
canal and the blood vessels. of the heart.
tongue.

3. Name the following:

(1) Tissue that forms the inner lining of our mouth.
(2) Tissue that connect muscle to bone in humans.
(3) Tissue that transport food in plants.
(4) Tissue that stores fat in our body.
(5) Connective tissue with a fluid matrix.
(6) Tissue present in the brain.
Ans. 1) Squamous epithelium (2) Tendons
(3) Phloem (4) Areolar tissue
(5) Blood (6) Nervous tissue

4. Identify the type of tissue in the following: Skin, bark of tree, bone, lining
of kidney tubule, vascular bundle.
Ans.(a) Skin—Striated squamous epithelium
(b) Bark of tree—Cork, protective tissue
(c) Bone—Connective tissue
(d) Lining of kidney tubule—Cuboidal epithelium tisse
(e) Vascular bundle—Conducting tissue

5. What is the role of epidermis in plants?

Ans. Cells of epidermis forms a continuous layer without intercellular spaces. It
protects all the parts of plants.

6.How does the cork act as a protective tissue?

Ans. It also protects the plant from sustaining any mechanical injury or
infection.
It prevents the entry of pathogens.
Due to the suberin coating, it prevents the passage of water and gases.
CONNECTIVE TISSUE

1. TENDONS- A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches muscle to

bone. For example the eyeballs.
2.LIGAMENT-A ligament is the fibrous connective tissue that connects bones to
other bones. For example, your knee has four ligaments that keep it from
moving side to side or backward.
3. CARTILAGE-Cartilage is a strong, flexible connective tissue that protects your
joints and bones. It also acts as a shock absorber. For example tip of the nose.
4.BONES-The bone is a rigid body tissue that makes up our body skeleton. The
bone is a connective tissue that is made up of different types of cells. Our body
has total 206 bones.
5. BLOOD-Blood is a fluid connective tissue that consists of plasma, blood cells
and platelets. It circulates throughout our body. It makes up 8% of our body
weight
