Question 1.
Assertion (A): Permanent tissues are derived
from meristematic tissue when they lose the
ability to divide.
Reason(R): Meristematic tissue is the dividing
tissue in the growing regions of the plant.

plays an important role in regulating the
exchange of materials between the body and
the external environment.
Reason(R): Anything entering or leaving the
body must cross at least one layer of
epithelium.
Question 3.
Assertion(A): All plant tissues divide
throughout their life.
Reason(R): Meristematic tissues are localised
to certain regions.

Assertion(A): Apical meristems are resent in
tips of stems and roots.
Reason(R): Root and stems grow in length.
Question 5.
Assertion(A): Some columnar epithelial cells
change into glandular cells.
Reason(R): Columnar epithelial cells are much
longer and broad.

the bones in different body parts.
Reason(R): These are independent of
voluntary control.
Question 8.
Assertion(A): Parenchyma cells help in storage
of food.
Reason(R): Parenchynma cells are non-living
cells.
Question 9.

Assertion(A): Vessels and sieve tubes are
parts of vascular bundle.
Reason(R): Vessels are lignified.
Question 12.
Assertion(A): Ciliated epithelium helps in
movement of particles.
Reason(R): Cilia are hair like structures
present in inner surfaces of hollow organs.
Question 13.
Assertion(A): Bone and cartilage are rigid
connective tissue.
Reason(R): Blood is fluid connective tissue.
Question 14.
Assertion(A): Xylem and phloem are called
vascular tissues.
Reason(R): Vascular tissues conduct water,
mineral salts and food materials to different
plant parts.
Question 15.
Assertion(A): Collenchyma tissue makes the
plant flexible and provides tensile strength.
Reason(R): Cell wall of collenchyma cells are
irregularly thickened with cellulose and pectin.
