Which of the following statements given below is correct about meristematic tissue?
Explanation:
Meristematic tissue consists of cells which are not differentiated and which are cabable of cell division. It is found on those regions of the plant which grows.
Which of the following is not an example of simple tissue in plants?
Explanation:
Parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma are types of simple tissue whereas xylem is a type of complex tissue.

Explanation:
Xylum parenchyma cells are living. The parenchyma stores food and helps in the sideway conduction of water.
Which of the following components of phloem is absent in monocot stem:
Explanation:
The phloem parenchyma stores food material and other substances like resins, latex and mucilage. It is absent in monocot stem.
Which are not true cells in the blood?
Explanation:
Platelets are not true cells in the blood.
Trapped dust particles are pushed out of respiratory tract by:
Explanation:
In the respiratory tract, the columnar epithelial tissue also has cilia, which are hair-like projections on the outer surfaces of epithelial cells. These cilia can move, and their movement pushes the mucus forward to clear it. This type of epithelium is thus ciliated columnar epithelium.
Tissue that is absent in monocots is:
Explanation:
Collenchyma is generally absent in monocot stems and leaves.
Tissue found in area of regular wear and tear is:
Explanation:
Skin epithelial cells are arranged in many layers to prevent wear and tear. Since they are arranged in a pattern of layers, the epithelium is called stratified squamous epithelium.
The term tissue was given by:
Explanation:
The term tissue was given by Bichat.
The nuclei of meristematic cells are:
Explanation:
The meristematic cells are full of cytoplasm and have a big nucleus.
The most common type of ground tissue is:
Explanation:
The parenchyma is present in soft parts of the plant such as cortex, pith, palisade and some parts of the flower. It is considered as a fundamental or ground tissue.
The hardness of the bone tissue is due to the phosphates and carbonates of:
Explanation:
The matrix of bone is made up of proteins and is heavily coated with salts of calcium and phosphorous. These minerals make the bone very tough.
The end of a long bone is connected to another bone by:
Explanation:
Ligament is a dense connective tissue which connects a bone with bone.
The efferent part of neqron is:
Explanation:
Axon is long, branch process of neuron which carries impulses away from cyton.
The covering tissue of external and internal surfaces of animals is:
Explanation:
An epithelium is a tissue composed of one or more layer of cells covering the external surface and internal body organs.
The cell wall of meristematic cell is made of:
Explanation:
The cell wall of meristematic cell is thin and made up of cellulose.
The cell division is restricted to:
Explanation:
Permanent tissues formed by meristematic tissues take up a specific role and lose the ability to divide further.
Tendons and ligaments are:
Explanation:
Tendons and ligaments are dense connective tissue.
Tendon is a structure which connects _________.
Explanation:
Tendon is a fibrous (dense) connective tissue which connects a muscle with a bone.
Tendon is a structure which connects:
Explanation:
Tendon is a form of dense connective tissue which connects a muscle with a bone.
Smooth muscles occur in:
Explanation:
Smooth muscles are found in alimentary canal and blood vessels. The movement of food in the alimentary canal or the contraction and relaxation of blood vessels are involuntary movement.
Simple tissues are these:
Explanation:
Simple tissues are made up of only one type of cells. There are three types of simple tissue occur in plants: Parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma.
Simple epithelium is a tissue in which cells are:
Explanation:
Epithelial tissue cells are tightly packed and form a continuous sheet. They have only a small amount of cementing material between them and almost no intercellular spaces.
Short branched process coming out of a soma of neuron are:
Explanation:
Each neuron has a single long part, called th axon and many short, branched parts called dendrites.
Presence of tissues in a multicellular organisms ensures:
Explanation:
In unicellular organisms, a single cell performs all basic functions. For example, in Amoeba. But in multicellular organisms (e.g., human), there are millions of cells. Most of these cells are specialised to carry out a few functions. Each specialised function is taken by a different group of cells or tissue. Thus, multicellular organisms show division of labour.

Explanation:
Phloem is made up of four types of elements:
Sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem fibres and the phloem parenchyma.
Phloem in the plants perform the function of:
Explanation:
Phloem is a complex tissue in the plant which conducts water from leaves to the other parts of the plant.
Phloem in the plant perform the function of _________.
Explanation:
Pholem is mainly responsible for the conduction or transport of organic food prepared by the plant.
Permanent tissues differ from meristematic tissue in:
Explanation:
The tissues formed by meristematic tissues take up a specific role and lose the ability to divide further. As a result, they form a permanent tissue. This process of taking up a permanent shape, size, and a function is called differentiation. Cells of meristematic tissue differentiate to form different types of permanent tissue.
