On the basis of arrangement of layers, epithelial tissue is classified into two types:
Name the muscle which gets farigued soon.
Skeletal or striated muscle gets fatigued very soon. These are voluntary muscels.
Define complex tissue.
Tissue which is composed of two or more types of cells but contribute to a common function is called complex tissue.
Name the plant cell which is attached to the lateral side is dieve tube.
Companion cell is living cell which is attached to the lateral side of sieve tube.
What is function of stomata?
Stomata are tiny pores present on the leave’s surface which help in the exchange of gases and in transpiration.
What is the name of bone cell?
The cells of bones are called osteocytes. Bone cells are embedded in a hard matrix that is composed of calcium and phosphorus compounds.

Explanation:
The striated muscle cells are long, cylindrical, unbranched and multinucleate.
What is division of labour?
Division of labour is adaptation of different parts of an organism to carry out different functions.
Which one is called pavement epithelium?
Squamous epithelium is also called pavement epithelium as it is made up of single thin layer of flattened cells.
Which connective tissue connects bone to another bone?
Ligament connects two bones together at joints.
Define the tissues.
A tissue is a group of cells of the same type or mixed type having a common origin and performing a common function.
Which chemical is deposited in the cell wall of sclerenchyma?
Lignin is deposited in the cell wall of sclerenchyma.
What are guard cells?
Each stomata is surrounded by a pair of guard cells. Guard cells regulate the opening and closing of stomata.
Which type of tissue is most abundant in animals?
Connective tissues are most abundant and widely distributed in the body of complex animals.
Give one main function of collenchyma?
Collenchyma is a simple permanent tissue which provides mechanical strength as well as flexibility to the plant organs.
The correct order of the parts of nerve cells through which the nerve impulse is transmitted is:
Explanation:
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.
Name the conducting elements of phloem.
The cells of phloem are called sieve tubes. Sieve tubes are conducting element of phloem which is responsible for transportation of food.
Name a basic tissue which is present in plants but absent in animals.
Meristematic tissue is present in plants but absent in animals.
A coverslip must always be places very gently while mounting in order to:
Explanation:
A coverslip must always be places very gently while mounting in order to avoid the entry of air bubbles.
What is permanent tissue?
A permanent tissue is a group of cells which temporarily or permanently cease to divide have assumed a definite form and size.
Give one example of (i) apical meristem and (ii) lateral meristem.
Apical meristem: Shoot apes.
Lateral meristem: Cambium.
What is s synapse? Explain.
Synapse is the junction between the terminal part of one axon and the dendrite of the adjacent neuron. Synapses helps in the transmission of impulses from one neuron to another.
Which chemical is deposited at the corner of cells in collenchymas?
Collenchyma tissue is irregularly thickened at the corners due to the depositon of pectin and cellulose.
Name three types of simple tissues of plants.
Three types of simple tissues of plants are:
Why do animals consume moew energy as compared to plants?
Animals consume more energy as compared to plants as they move around in search of food, mates and shelter.
