Question 31 Mark
Why are striated muscles called skeletal muscles?
Answer
Skeletal muscles are called striated muscles because when we observed this skeletal muscles under the microscope they have a striped like appearance & they also show alternate dark and light striations or bands. They are long or elongated, non tapering and cylindrical, unbranched. They are multinucleated.

Question 51 Mark
What is the function of companion cells?
Answer
  • Each of these functions (i.e., collection, transport, and release of photosynthate) is intimately related to the structure and activity of companion cells associated with the sieve elements.
  • companion cells in the veins of leaves function in the transfer of assimilates from photosynthetic tissues and bundle sheaths into the sieve tubes.
  • companion cells also play an important role in maintaining the viability and long-distance translocation system of the enucleate sieve tube members by providing them with proteins, including informational (signaling) molecules, and ribonuclear protein complexes as well as $ATP.$
  • Apoplastic loading, a process utilizing energy, is facilitated by carrier proteins called sucrose transporters which are located in the plasma membranes of companion cells and/or sieve tube members.
  • Companion cells that function as transfer cells are characterized by extensive wall in growths that vastly increase the surface area of the plasma membrane.

MCQ 361 Mark
The correct order of the parts of nerve cells through which the nerve impulse is transmitted is:
  • A
    Nerve endings, dendrites, nerve endings.
  • B
    Cell body, acon, dendrites, nerve endings.
  • C
    Dendrites, nerve endings, cell body, acon.
  • Dendrites, cell body, axon, nerve endings.
Answer
Correct option: D.
Dendrites, cell body, axon, nerve endings.

Nerve impulse travel along the axons and dentrites. Nerve impulses enter a neuron along the dentrites and leave the neuron along the axon. Thus, the correct sequence through which nerve impulse is transmitted is: dendrites, cell body, axon, nerve endings.
