Motion and Time Short Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
Define periodic motion?
Answer:
Periodic motion:
The motion of a body which is repeated at regular intervals of time is called periodic motion. In periodic motion, a body covers equal distances in equal intervals of time; e.g. revolution of earth round the sun, the motion of moon round the earth, the motion of a swing, the motion of a pendulum, etc.

Question 2.

Answer:

Motion and Time Long Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
Write briefly about the development of pendulum clock?
Answer:
There is an interesting story about the discovery that the time period of a given pendulum is constant. You might have heard the name of famous scientist Galileo Galilie (A.D. 1564 – 1642). It is said that once Galileo was sitting in a church. He noticed that a lamp suspended from the ceiling with a chain was moving slowly from one side to the other.

He was surprised to find that his pulse beat the same number of times during the interval in which the lamp completed one oscillation. Galileo experimented with various pendulums to verify his observation. He found that a pendulum of a given length takes always the same time to complete one oscillation. This observation led to the development of pendulum clocks. Winding clocks and wristwatches were refinements of the pendulum clocks.

Question 2.
Discuss in details about the different range to measure time interval?
Or
Discuss the different units for measuring time interval?
Answer:
The smallest time interval that can be measured with commonly available clocks and watches is one second. However, now special clocks are available that can measure time intervals smaller than a second. Some of these clocks can measure time intervals as small as one millionth or even one billionth of a second. We might have heard the terms like microsecond and nanosecond. One microsecond is one millionth of a second. A nanosecond is one billionth of a second.

Clocks that measure such small time intervals are used for scientific research. The time measuring devices used in sports can measure time intervals that are one tenth or one hundredth of a second. On the other hand, times of historical everts are stated in terms of centuries or millenniums. The ages of stars and planet are often expressed in billions of years.

Question 3.
Draw a bar graph to show the runs scored by a team in each over?

Answer:

Question 4.
Draw a pie chart to show the composition of air?
Answer:

Question 5.
Write down the steps to make a distance – time graph?
Answer:
We can make the graph by following steps:
Step 1.
Draw two perpendicular lines to represent the two axes and mark them as OX and OY as shown in figure.

Steps 2.
Decide the quantity to be shown along the x – axis and that to be shown along the y – axis. In this case we show the time along the x – axis and the distance along the y – axis.

Steps 3.
Choose a scale to represent the distance and another to represent the time on the graph. For the motion of the car scales could be
Time : 1 min = 1 cm
Distance : 1 km = 1 cm

Step 4.
Mark values for the time and the distance on the respective axes according to the scale chosen. For the motion of the cat let mark the time 1 min, 2 min,..,on the origin x – axis from the origin Similarly, mark the distance 1 km. 2 km… on the y – axis.

Steps 5.
Now you have to mark the points on the graph paper to represent each set of values for distance and time.

Step 6.
Join all the points on the graph as shown in figure. It is a straight line. This is the distance-time graph for the motion of the car.
Note:
If the distance – time graph is a straight line, it indicates that the object is moving with a constant speed. However, if the speed of the object keeps changing, the graph can be of any shape.

Nutrition in Animals Intext Questions

Question 1.
Paheli wants to know how food moves in the opposite direction during vomiting?
Answer:
The food pipe runs along the neck and the chest. Food is pushed down by movement of the wall of the food pipe. Actually this movement takes place throughout the alimentary canal and pushes the food downwards. At times the food is not accepted by our stomach and is vomited out.

Question 2.
Paheli wants to know why these animals cannot chew food properly at the time they take it in?
Answer:
The ruminants mainly feed on grass and bush which primarily contain cellulose or roughage. The grass is rich in cellulose, so lot of chewing and saliva are need. Thus, the ruminants need to chew the grass for long time. If they chew for long while eating, they will get less time to eat.

Question 3.
Boojho wants to know why we cannot digest cellulose like the cattle do?
Answer:
Ruminants have a large sac – like structure between the small intestine and large intestine. The cellulose of the food is digested here by the action of certain bacteria which are not present in humans.

Question 5.
What are villi? What is their location and function?
Answer:
The inner walls of the small intestine have thousands of finger – like outgrowths, these are called villi. They are situated in the small intestine.
Functions of Villi:

1. The villi increase the surface area for absorption of the digested food.
2. Each villus has a network of thin and small blood vessels close to its surface.
3. The surface of the villi absorbs the digested food materials.

The absorbed substances are transported via the blood vessels to different organs of the body where they are used to build complex substances such as the proteins required by the body.

Question 6.
Where is the bile produced? Which component of the food does it digest?
Answer:
The liver secretes bile juice that is stored in a sea called gall bladder. Bile juice digests fat.

Question 7.
Name the types of carbohydrate that can be digested by ruminants but not by humans. Give the reason also?
Answer:
The grass is rich in cellulose, a type of carbohydrate. Many animals including humans cannot digest cellulose. The cellulose can be digested by ruminants but not by humans because they have a large sac – like structure between the small intestine and large intestine. The cellulose of the food is digested here by the action of certain bacteria which are not present in humans.

Question 8.
Why do we get instant energy from glucose?

Question 1.
What do you understand by respiration?
Answer:
All the living organism penorm a number of vital activities. The energy is obtained by the oxidation of food or respiration. When the living organisms are completely at the stage of rest, even then they require some minimum amount of energy for the maintenance of cells and tissues. Thus, respiration is one of the most important process for the living organisms.

Question 2.
Write names of organs in sequence through which food passes starting from mouth?
Answer:
First of all food is taken in mouth with help of hands. Food passes further through various organs of food canal. The sequence is as following:
Mouth cavity → Pharynx – Oesophagus → stomach → Large intestine ←Duodenum Ileum

Question 3.
What things in our mouth help in physical and chemical digestion?
Answer:
The teeth and tongue help on physical digestion. The teeth help in cutting, crushing and chewing the food. The tongue helps in mixing the saliva with food. The enzymes and saliva secreted by salivary glands help in chemical digestion.

Question 4.
What makes the food move in digestive organ?
Answer:
The walls of the digestive organs are made of involuntary muscles. When the food enters into the food pope, the inner walls start contracting and expanding. These movements are called peristatic movements. This activity sends the food into digestive organs.

Question 5.
How will you prove that we exhale CO₂ gas during respiration?
Answer:
Pass the exhaled air given out by us into lime water. It will turn milky in colour. We know that CO₂ gas turn lime water milky. This confirms that we exhale CO₂ gas in respiration.

Question 6.
What organ helps amoeba to move from one place to another?
Answer:
In amoeba pseudopodia are present which are locomotory organs. By means of these pseudopodia, amoeba move from one place to another. A protuberance is developed in the direction in which amoeba has to move. Cytoplasm reaches in it, due to which pseudopodium is formed.

Question 7.
What is digestion?
Answer:
Digestion is a chemical process. It involves the conversion of the complex substances of the food into simpler water soluble substances by the action of the enzymes given out by the digestive glands. The body can utilise this food easily. The body absorbs the digested food and utilises it for getting energy.

Question 8.
Define:
1. Incisors
2. Canines.

Question 12.
What is meant by diarrhoea? Explain.
Answer:
Sometime you may have experienced the need to pass watery stool frequently. This condition is known as diarrhoea. It may be caused by an infection, food poisoning or indigestion. It is very common in India, particularly among children. Under severe conditions it can be fatal. This is because of the excessive loss of water and salts from the body. Diarrhoea should not be neglected. Even before a doctor is consulted the patient should be given plenty of boiled and cooled water with a pinch of salt and sugar dissolved in it. This is called Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS).

Question 1.
Explain ingestion of food in Amoeba with diagram?
Answer:
The organs which ingests food in pseudopodium. The food is caught by encircling it with Pseudopodia. When it is totally encircled then it is taken inside cell.

Question 2.
Describe the respiratory system of human beings?
Answer:
The various respiratory organs alongwith their functions are:
Air enters through the nostrils in the nose. The air then enters the nasal cavity which leads to larynx or voice box. From the larynx the air passes into the wind pipe or trachea. The trachea bifurcates into two branches. These are called bronchi. Bronchi further divide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Later terminate in small thin wall air sacs called alveoli. The thin walls of the alveoli are provided with a network of blood capillaries. It is here that blood absorbs oxygen from alveoli and carbon dioxide from the blood enters the alveoli. From here the carbon dioxide is thrown out from the body. This process is called exhalation.

Question 3.
Describe in details the process of digestion in human beings?
Answer:
The various digestive organs and the process of digestion are:
1. Mouth, Teeth and Tongue:
The process of digestion beings with mouth. Food is taken inside the mouth, chewed into smaller pieces by the teeth. Mouth has few salivary glands which secrete saliva. The tongue helps in mixing saliva with food and swallowing the food.

2. Oesophagus:
Then the food enters into food pipe which is also called oesophagus. The wall of the oesophagus undergo peristaltic movements. This sends the food into the stomach.

3. Stomach:
Stomach is a bag like structure. Here the digestion of food starts. Here food is thoroughly mixed with the gastric juice secreted by gastric gland present in the stomach.

4. Small Intestine:
The process of digestion continues into small intestine. The upper part of the small intestine is called duodenum. In duodenum food is mixed with bile juice made by the liver and pancreatic juice from pancreas. The digested food is absorbed in the lower part of the small intestine by tiny projections called villi.

5. Large Intestine:
The undigested food now moves to the large intestine. Here water is absorbed and solid residue left behind called faeces.

6. Rectum and Anus:
The faeces then passer to rectum and expelled from the body through the anus.

Question 4.
Draw a diagram to show the arrangement of teeth in mouth?
Answer:

Question 5.
What is tooth decay? Explain.
Answer:
Normally bacteria are present in our mouth but they are not harmful to us. However, if we do not dean our teeth and mouth after eating, many harmful bacteria also begin to live and grow in it. These bacteria break down the sugars present from the leftover food and release acids. The acids gradually damage the teeth (Fig.). This is called tooth decay. If it is not treated in time, it causes severe toothache and in extreme cases results in tooth loss. Chocolates, sweets, cold drinks and other sugar products are the major culprits of tooth decay.

Therefore, one should clean the teeth with a brush or dantun and dental floss (a special strong thread which is moved between two teeth to take out trapped food particles) at least twice a day and rinse the mouth after every meal. Also, one should not put dirty fingers or any unwashed object in the mouth.

Question 6.
Explain excretion in human?
Answer:
Excretion is done by following organs:
1. Kidneys:
These excrete urea, salts, water etc., through urine.

2. Skin:
Skin possesses sweet glands. These glands absorb urea, salts and a large quantity of water from the blood capillaries near by and excrete them through their pores on the skin in the form of sweet.

3. Liver:
Liver is not a direct excretory organ. Liver cells convert more toxic ammonia into less toxic urea and uric acid and then pass them to the kidneys through the blood for excretion.

Liver also censer toxic substances. It remove bile salts in bile juice. These bile salts are formed due to break down of heamoglobin. If bile salts are not removed. They cause jaundice. Bile salts are removed through intestine.

4. Lungs:
It excretes gases like carbon dioxide, ammonia and water vapours.

5. Large Intestine:
It excretes undigested solid food waste (faeces).

Question 1.
Which of the following has more inertia:

1. a rubber ball and a stone of the same size?
2. a bicycle and a train?
3. a five – rupees coin and a one – rupee coin?

Answer:
As we know, inertia is the calculated value for the mass of the body. It is proportional to mass of the body:

1. Inertia of the stone is greater than that of a rubber ball as mass of a stone is more than the mass of a rubber ball for the same size.
2. Inertia of the train is greater than that of the bicycle. As mass of a train is more than the mass of a bicycle.
3. Mass of a five rupee coin is more than that of a one – rupee coin. Hence, inertia of the five – rupee coin is greater than that of the one – rupee coin.

The goalkeeper of the opposite team collects the football and kick it towards a player of his own team”. Also, identify the agent supplying the force in each case.
Answer:
Four times:

• First, when a football player kicks to another player. Agent supplying the force: First case – First player. Second when that player kicks the football to the goalkeeper. Agent supplying the force. Second case – Second player.
• Third when the goalkeeper stops the football. Agent supplying the force: Third case – Goalkeeper.
• Fourth when the goalkeeper kicks the football towards a player of his own team. Agent supplying the force: Fourth case – Goalkeeper.

Question 3.
Explain why some of the leaves may get detached from a tree if we vigorously shake its branch.
Answer:
When we shake any tree’s branches vigorously some leaves of that tree get detached because branches comes in motion while the leaves tend to remain at rest due to inertia of rest.

Question 4.
Why do you fall in the forward direction when a moving bus brakes to a stop and fall backwards when it accelerates from rest?
Answer:
Due to inertia of motion, we fall in the forward direction when a moving bus brakes to a stop and fall backwards when it accelerates from rest.

1. Case I: Since the driver applies brakes and bus comes to rest. But, the passenger tries to maintain its inertia of motion. As a result, a forward force is exerted on him.
2. Case II: The passenger tends to fall backwards when the bus accelerates from rest because when the bus accelerates, the inertia of rest of the passenger tends to oppose the forward motion of the bus.

Question 2.
Explain, why is it difficult for a fireman to hold a hose, which ejects large amounts of water at a high velocity.
Answer:
According to Newton’s third law of motion, a reaction force is exerted over fireman by the ejecting water in the backward direction when a fireman holds a hose, which is ejecting large amounts of water at a high velocity. As a result of the backward force, the stability of the fireman get affected. Hence, it is difficult for him to remain stable while holding the hose.

Question 3.
From a rifle of mass 4kg, a bullet of mass 50g is fired with an initial velocity of 35 ms^-1. Calculate the initial recoil velocity of the rifle.
Answer:
Given,
Mass of the rifle, m₁ = 4kg
Mass of the bullet, m₂ = 50g = 0.05kg
Recoil velocity of the rifle = v₁
Bullet is fired with an initial velocity, v₂= 35 m/s
Condition:
Initially, the rifle is at rest.
Thus, its initial velocity, v = 0
Total initial momentum of the rifle and bullet system = (m₁+ m₂)v = 0
Total momentum of the rifle and bullet system after firing = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
= 0.05 × 35 = 4v₁ + 1.75
As per law of conservation of momentum:
Total momentum after the firing = Total momentum before the firing
⇒ 4v₁ + 1.75 = 0
v₁ = –\(\frac { 1.75 }{ 4 }\) = -0.4375 m/s
So, the rifle recoils backwards with a velocity of 0.4375 m/s because value is negative.

Question 4.
Two objects of masses 100g and 200g are moving along the same line and direction with velocities of 2 ms^-1 and 1  ms^-1, respectively. They collide and after the collision, the first object moves at a velocity of 1.67 ms^-1. Determine the velocity of the second object.
Answer:
Given,
m₁ = 100g = 0.1kg
m₂ = 200g = 0.2kg
Velocity of m₁ before collision, v₁ = 2 m/s
Velocity of m₂ before collision, v₂ = 1 m/s
Velocity of m₁ after collision, v₃ = 1.67 m/s
Velocity of m₂ after collision = v₄
As per the law of conservation of momentum:
Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision
Hence,
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₃+ m₂v₄
Putting values
2(0.1) + 1(0.2) = 1.67(0.1) + v₄(0.2)
0.4 = 0.167 + 0.2v₄
v₄ = 1.165 m/s
Velocity of the second object = 1.165 m/s.

= 7000kg
⇒ s = ut + \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)at²
400 = (0 + 20) + \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)a(20)²
a = \(\frac { 400\times 2 }{ { 20 }^{ 2 } } \)
∴ a = 2 m/s²

F = ma
= 7000 × 2 = 14,000 N.

Question 6.
A stone of 1kg is thrown with a velocity of 20 ms^-1 across the frozen surface of a lake and comes to rest after travelling a distance of 50m. What is the force of friction between the stone and the ice?
Answer:
m = 1kg, u = 20 m/s, s = 50m, v = 0, F = ? a = ?.
⇒ v² – u² = 2as
(0)² – (20)² = 2a (50)
∴ – 400 = 100a
= \(\frac { 400 }{ 100 }\) – 4 m/s²
Force of friction, F = m × a
= 1kg × -4 m/s² = -4 N

Question 7.
A 8000kg engine pulls a train of 5 wagons, each of 2000kg, along a horizontal track. If the engine exerts a force of 40,000 N and the track offers a friction force of 5000 N, then calculate:
(a) the net accelerating force;
(b) the acceleration of the train; and
(c) the force of wagon 1 on wagon 2.
Answer:
m = 8,000 + 5 × 2,000 = 18,000kg
(a) The net accelerating force,
F = Engine force – friction force
= 40,000 – 5,000 = 35,000 N.

(b) The acceleration of the train,
a = \(\frac { F }{ m }\) = \(\frac { 35,000 }{ 18,000 }\) = \(\frac { 35 }{ 18 }\) = 1.94 ms^-2

(c) The force of wagon 1 on wagon 2
= The net accelerating force – mass of wagon × acceleration
= 35,000 – 2,000 × \(\frac { 35 }{ 18 }\)
= 35,000 – 3888.8 = 31,111.2 N.

Question 8.

Force of friction on the cabinet = 200 N, in a direction opposite to the direction of motion of the cabinet.

Question 11.
Two objects, each of mass 1.5kg, ate moving in the same straight line but in opposite directions. The velocity of each object is 2.5 ms^-1 before the collision during which they stick together. What will be the velocity of the combined object after collision?
Answer:
Here, m₁ = m₂ = 1.5kg,
u₁ = 2.5 ms^-1, u₂ = – 2.5 ms^-1
Let v be the velocity of the combined object after the collision.
By conservation of momentum,
Total momenta after collision = Total momenta before collision
= (m₁ + m₂) v = m₁u₁ + m₂u₂
= (1.5 + 1.5) v = 1.5 × 2.5 + 1.5 × (-2.5)
= 3.0 v = 0
or
⇒ v = 0 ms^-1

Question 12.
According to the third law of motion when we push on an object, the object pushes back on us with an equal and opposite force. If the object is a massive truck parked along the roadside, it will probably not move. A student justifies this by answering that the two opposite and equal forces cancel each other. Comment on this logic and explain why the truck does not move.
Answer:
Action and reaction always act on different bodies, so they cannot cancel each other. When we push a massive truck, the force of friction between its tyres and the road is very large and so, the truck does not move.

Question 13.
A hockey ball of mass 200g travelling at 10 ms^-1 is struck by a hockey stick so as to return it along its original path with a velocity at 5 ms^-1. Calculate the change of momentum occurred in the motion of the hockey ball by the force applied by the hockey stick.
Answer:
Here, m = 200g = 0.2kg,
u = 10 ms^-1,
v = -5 ms^-1
change in momentum = m (v – u)
= 0.2 (- 5 – 10) = -3kg ms^-1.

Question 14.
A bullet of mass 10g travelling horizontally with a velocity of 150 ms^-1 strikes a stationary wooden block and comes to rest in 0.03 s. Calculate the distance of penetration of the bullet into the block. Also calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by the wooden block on the bullet.
Answer:
Here m = 10g = 0.01kg,
u = 150 ms^-1,
v = 0, t = 0.03 s
a = \(\frac { v-u\quad }{ t } \) = \(\frac { 0-150\quad }{ 0.03 } \) = -5,000 ms^-1
The distance of penetration of the bullet into the block,
s = ut + \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)at²
150 × 0.03 + \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) × (-5,000) × (0.03)
= 4.5 – 2.25 = 2.25
The magnitude of the force exerted by the wooden block on the bullet
= ma = 0.01 × 5,000 = 50 N.

Question 15.
An object of mass 1kg travelling in a straight line with a velocity of 10 ms^-1 collides with, and sticks to, a stationary wooden block of mass 5kg. Then, they both move off together in the same straight line. Calculate the total momentum just before the impact and just after the impact. Also, calculate the velocity of the combined object.
Answer:
Here, m₁ = 1kg, u₁ = 10 ms^-1, m₂ = 5kg, u₂ = 0
Let v be the velocity of the combined object after the collision.
Total momentum just before the impact
= m₁u₁ + m₂u₂  = 1 × 10 + 5 × 0 = 10kg ms^-1
Total momentum just after the impact = (m₁ + m₂)v = (1 + 5)v
= 6v kg ms^-1 by conservation of momentum,
6v = 10
= v = \(\frac { 10 }{ 6 }\) = \(\frac { 5 }{ 3 }\) ms^-1
∴ Total momentum just after the impact
= 6 × \(\frac { 5 }{ 3 }\) = 10 ms^-1

Question 16.
An object of mass 100kg is accelerated uniformly from a velocity of 5 ms^-1 to 8 ms^-1 in 6 s. Calculate the initial and final momentum of the object. Also, find the magnitude of the force exerted on the object.
Answer:
Here, m = 100kg,
u = 5 ms^-1,
v = 8 ms^-1,
t = 6 s
Initial momentum, P₁ = mu = 100 × 5 = 500kg ms^-1
Final momentum, P₂ = mu = 100 × 8 = 800kg ms^-1
The magnitude of the force exerted on the object.
F = \(\frac { { P }_{ 2 }-{ P }_{ 1 } }{ t } \) = \(\frac { 800-500 }{ 6 }\) = \(\frac { 300 }{ 6 }\) = 50 N.

Question 17.
Akhtar, Kiran and Rahul were riding in a motorcar that was moving with a high velocity on an expressway when an insect hit the windshield and got stuck on the windscreen. Akhtar and Kiran started pondering over the situation. Kiran suggested that the insect suffered a greater change in momentum as compared to the change in momentum of the motorcar (because the change in the velocity of the insect was much more than that of the motorcar). Akhtar said that since the motorcar was moving with a larger velocity, it exerted a larger force on the insect And as a result the insect died. Rahul while putting an entirely new explanation said that both the motorcar and the insect experienced the same force and a change in their momentum. Comment on these suggestions.
Answer:
Both, the motorcar and insect experience the equal force and hence, a same change in their momentum. So, we agree with Rahul. But due to smaller mass or inertia, the insect dies.

Question 18.
How much momentum will a dumb – bell of mass 10kg transfer to the floor if it falls from a height of 80cm? Take its downward acceleration to be 10 ms^-2.
Answer:
Here, m = 10kg, u = 0,
s = 80cm = 0.80m,
a = 10 m/s^-2
Let v be the velocity gained by the dumb-bell as it reaches the floor.
As v² – u² = 2as
v² – 0² = 2 × 10 × 0.80 = 16
or
v = 4 ms^-1
Momentum transferred by the dumb-bell to the floor
p = mv = 10 × 4 = 40kg ms^-1

Force and Laws of Motion Short Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
There are three solids made up of aluminium, steel and wood, of the same shape and same volume. Which of them would have highest inertia?
Answer:
Steel has highest inertia because it has greatest density and greatest mass, therefore, it has highest inertia.

Question 2.
Two balls of the same size but of different materials, rubber and iron are kept on the smooth floor of a moving train. The brakes are applied suddenly to stop the train. Will the balls start rolling? If so, in which direction? Will they move with the same speed? Give reasons for your answer.
Answer:
If the breaks are applied suddenly then, the balls will start rolling in the direction in which the train was moving. Due to the application of the brakes, the train comes to rest but due to inertia the balls try to remain in motion, therefore, they begin to roll. Direction and speed of all balls will not be same because the masses of the balls are not the same, therefore, the inertial forces are not same on both the balls. Thus, the balls will move with different speeds.

Force and Laws of Motion Long Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
Give the formulation of work. In which conditions work can occur?
Answer:
Work = Force × Displacement
or W = F × s
where, W is work ‘F’ is force and ‘s’ is displacement.
If force, F = 0
Therefore, work done, W = 0, s = 0
If displacement, s = 0
Therefore, Work done, W = F × 0 = 0
It proves that, there are two conditions for work to occur or be done:

1. Force should act on the object.
2. Object must be displaced.

Question 2.
Give the conditions when work done become positive and negative.
Answer:
When force is applied in the direction of displacement, the work done is considered as positive.
i.e., W = F × s
When force is applied in opposite direction of displacement, the work done is considered as negative.
i.e., W = -F × s = -Fs.

Question 3.
Explain positive and negative work.
Answer:
1. Positive work:
If a force displaces the object in its direction, then the work done is positive.
Here,
W = Fd
Example:
Motion of ball falling towards ground where displacement of ball is in the direction of force of gravity.

2. Negative work. If the force and the displacement are in opposite directions, then the work is said to be negative.
Here,
W = -Fd.
Example:
If a ball is thrown in upward direction but the force due to earth’s gravity is in the downward direction.

Question 4.

Answer:

1. Vegetative propagation
2. unisexual flowers
3. pollination
4. fertilisation
5. wind, insects, water.

Question 2.
Describe the different methods of asexual reproduction. Give examples?
Answer:
The various methods of asexual reproduction are:

1. Vegetative propagation, for example stem cutting of rose or champa.
2. Budding, for example reproduction in yeast by budding.
3. Fragmentation, for example fragmentation in spirogyra.
4. Spore formation, for example reproduction in fern.

Question 3.
Explain what you understand by sexual reproduction?
Answer:
In this type of reproduction male gamete (sperm) combines tie female gamete (ovum) in animals to form zygote.

Question 4.
State the main difference between asexual and sexual reproduction?
Sexual Reproduction:

1. It occurs both in lower and the higher organisms but mostly in higher plants and animals.
2. In it, there is fusion of the two (male and female) gametes and for this the sexes are required.
3. The new individual formed is identical to the parent.

Asexual Reproduction:

1. Usually occurs in lower organisms.
2. Only one parent is sufficient in asexual reproduction.
3. The new individual formed is similar but not identical to the parents.

Question 5.
Sketch the reproductive parts of a flower?
Answer:

Question 6.
Explain the difference between self – pollination and cross – pollination?
Answer:
self – pollination:
The transfer of pollen from the another to the stigma of a flower is called pollination.
If the pollen lands on the stigma of the same flower it is called self – pollination.

cross – pollination:
When the pollen of a flower lands on the stigma of another flower of the same plant, or that of a different plant of the same kind, it is called cross – pollination.

Question 7.
How does the process of fertilisation take place in flowers?
Answer:
Fertilization is the process in which male and female gametes fuse together. In flowering plants the pollen fuses with ovules present in the overy to form a zygote, which later on develops into seed.

Question 8.
Describe the various ways by which seeds are dispersed?
Answer:
In nature same kind of plants grow at different places. This happens because seeds are dispersed to different places. Sometimes after a walk through a forest or a field or a park, we may have found seeds or fruits sticking to our clothes. Seeds and fruits of plants are carried away by wind, water and animals.

Winged seeds such as those of drumstick and maple [Fig.(a) and (b)], light seeds of grasses or hairy seeds of aak (Madar) and hairy fruit of sunflower [Fig. (a), (b)], get blown off with the wind to far away places. Some seeds are dispersed by water. These fruits or seeds usually develop floating ability in the form of spongy or fibrous outer coat as in coconut. Some seeds are dispersed by animals, especially spiny seeds with hooks which get attached to the bodies of animals and are carried to distant places. Examples are Xanthium and Urena.


Some seeds are dispersed when the fruits burst with sudden jerks. The seeds are scattered far from the parent plant. This happens in the case of castor and balsam.

The fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote during sexual reproduction is called fertilisation.

Reproduction in Plants short Answer type Questions

Question 1.
How do insects help in cross – pollination?
Answer:
Insects get attracted towards flowers either due to their bright color or fragrance or nectar. In the process of collecting nectar from flowers some of the pollens get stuck to their legs and body. If such an insect visits another flower, he transfers pollens to this flower and thus completes the process of cross-pollination.

Question 2.
What are the organs in human which produce the gametes?
Answer:
In humans the parents are separate as mother and father. Mother (female) possesses the ovary and the father (male) possesses the testes. The ovary produces the ovum (female sex cell) and the testes produces the sperm.

Question 3.
What is budding?
Answer:
Budding is a type of a sexual reproduction in which an individual is produced as an out growth called bud from the parent organism. It takes place in certain animals like Hydra and in non green plant cells of yeast.

Question 4.
How do plants developed from a seed?
Answer:
The embryo inside the seed has two distinct parts. One part produces root system, and the other shoot system under favourable conditions of water, air, light and temperature. The root system developed under the soil and shoot system above the soil. Due to cell division elongation of different parts takes place and a new plant is obtained.

Question 5.
Give some examples of growth in plants and animals?
Answer:
Examples of growth in plants:

1. A small seedling gets developed into a fully developed tree.
2. Growth of plant in length.
3. Growth of stem in thickness.

Examples of growth in animals:

1. An egg is developed into an organism by the division of cells.
2. A small child grows into a fully developed adult.
3. A wound is healed up by the division of cells in the surrounding region.

Question 6.
Explain with examples “fission”?
Answer:
When the body of an individual after a certain period of growth divides mitotically into two or more parts, it is known as fission reproduction. When a fission results in the formation of two daughters, it is known as binary fission. When fission results in the formation of two daughters, it is known as multiple fission.

Question 7.
How does reproduction take place in fungs by budding?
Answer:
A bulb like structure formed on body is known as bud. As the reproduction takes place through this bud, it is called as budding. Such types of buds are formed on the bodies of organisms like hydra, yeast etc. This bud increases gradually and detaches itself from parent body and develops in the form of new organism. In corel and sponge also reproduction takes place by budding.

Question 8.
What is called as vegetative reproduction?
Answer:
The new plant develops when branches of these plants are burried in soil during rainy season. The new saplings are produced from various parts such as root, stem, leaf of plants. This type of propagation or reproduction in plants is called as vegetative propagation.

Question 9.
What is difference between fertilisation and pollination?
Answer:
Pollination is the transference of male gametes (pollen grain) from pollen sac to stigma and the fertilisation is fusion of male gamete (pollen grain) and female gamete (egg cell) in the ovary of a flower. Fertilisation is followed by the formation of embryo. Embryo is enclosed within the seed.

Question 10.
What are the advantages of vegetative reproduction?
Answer:
Advantages of vegetative reproduction:

1. It helps in rapid propagation of plant species in some region. Examples: bamboo, sugarcane, potato crop etc.
2. Those plants, whose seeds are not capable of germination, can be reproduced by vegetative reproduction e.g. garlic,
3. There is 100 percent possibility of survival of plants by this method.
4. The species having high qualities can be conserved.
5. The plants reproduced by this method get the fruits earlier.

Reproduction in Plants Long Answer type Questions

Question 1.
What are the different ways in which reproduction in plants can take place?
Ans. Reproduction in plants can be classified in three main groups:

1. Sexual reproduction,
2. Asexual reproduction, and
3. Vegetative reproduction.

In asexual reproduction, the new individuals are reproduced from a single parent. Here one cell undergoes division into two new individuals. In sexual reproduction, two parents are needed to produce one new individual. In vegetative propagation, a few cells of plant body propagate to form a new plant.

Question 2.
Write the various steps involved in the formation of a plant seed, starting from pollination?
Answer:
There are following steps involved from pollination to the formation of the seed:

1. Fertilisation:
The process of fusion of male and female gamete in sexual reproduction is called fertilisation.

2. Pollination:
The male part of plant is stamen. It consists of the filament and the anther. The anther has pollen grains.The female part is made up of stigma, style and ovary. The ovary has ovule. The stigma receives of pollen grains. The process of transfer of pollen from anther to stigma is known as pollination.

3. Seed formation:
The whole ovary after fertilisation is converted into the fruit while the ovule is converted into the seed.

Question 3.
What is meant by the terms external fertilisation and internal fertilisation?
Answer:
Internal fertilisation:
The reproductive process remains incomplete till the male and female gamete do not fuse with each other. In some animals the process of fertilisation occurs inside the female body. This is called internal fertilization. After that female either lay eggs or given birth to young one. For example, dog, cat, bird, human etc.

External fertilisation:
In some animals the female release ovum or egg outside and the male drops sperms on these. This type of fertilization is called external fertilization. The zygote so formal undergoes regular and specific changes with rime to form a new individual.

Question 4.
What are the reproductive organs in a flower? How does pollination take place? What is a seed?
Answer:
The reproductive organs of a plant develop on a special reproductive appendage called flower. The male reproductive, organs are stamen. The stamens bear anthers where pollen grains (the male gametes) are produced. The female reproductive organ is pistil. It consists of stigma, style and ovary. Inside the ovary (the female – gametes) are developed.

Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from another to stigma of either the same flower (self pollination) or of another flower (cross pollination). The pollen grains are carried to the stigma by air, insects water in aquatic plants or by animals. Seed is the structure formed by the fusion of ovule and pollen grains in the ovary. The seeds germinate after their dispersion, into new plants.

Question 5.
Explain reproduction by spore formation in fungus with neat diagram?
Answer:
Spore formation:
You might have seen white powder like substance on leather objects during rainy season. These small particles are spores of fungus. Small spherical structures are in yeast, fungus, moss, fern and microbes during unfavourable circumstances. They have protective layer around them and remain floating in air. During favourable conditions, the protective layer breaks open and new organism is formed.

Question 6.
What are spores? When do they form?
Answer:
Several plants produce spores which germinate to produce new individual plants e.g., rhizopus, mucus and moss etc. It is the mechanism to overcome the unfavourable conditions.

Question 7.

Question 1.
Which do you think is a more basic characteristic for classifying organisms?
(a) the place where they live.
(b) the kind of cells they are made of. Why?
Answer:
(a) Different organisms may share same habitat but may have entirely different form and structure. So, the place where they live cannot be a basis of classification.

(b) The kind of cells they are. made of. Because placement of organism to other destination can create a easy confusion.

Question 2.
What is the primary characteristic on which the first division of organisms is made?
Answer:
The primary characteristic on which the first division of organisms is made is the nature of the cell – prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell.

Question 3.
On what basis are plants and animals put into different categories?
Answer:
Plants and animals are very different from each other but main basis to differentiate is “Mode of nutrition’’. Plants are autotrophs. They can make their food own while animals are heterotrophs which are dependent on others for food. Locomotion, absence of chloroplasts etc. also make them different.

Question 1.
What are the advantages of classifying organisms?
Answer:
Advantages of classification:

1. Better categorization of living beings based on common characters.
2. Easier study for scientific research.
3. Better understanding of human’s relation and dependency on other organisms.
4. Helps in cross breeding and genetic engineering for commercial purposes.

Question 2.
How would you choose between two characteristics to be used for developing a hierarchy in classification?
Answer:
Gross character will form the basis of start of the hierarchy and fine character will form the basis of further steps of single hierarchy.
Examples:

• Presence of vertebral column in human beings can be taken under vertebrata.
• Presence of four limbs makes them members of Tetrapoda.
• Presence of mammary glands keeps them under mammalia.

Question 3.
Explain the basis for grouping organisms into five kingdoms.
Answer:
Basis of classification:

1. Number of cells: unicellular or multicellular.
2. Complexity of cell structure: Prokaryote and Eukaryote.
3. Presence or absence of cell wall.
4. Mode of nutrition.
5. Level of organization.

Question 4.
What are the major divisions in the Plantae? What is the basis for these divisions?
Answer:
Major divisions of Kingdom Plantae:

Question 5.
How are the criteria for deciding divisions in plants different from the criteria for deciding the subgroups among animals?
Answer:
In plants, basic structure of their body is a major criteria based on which thallophytes are different from bryophytes. Apart from this, absence or presence of seeds is another important criteria. Gymnosperms and angiosperms are further segregated based on if seeds are covered or not. It is clear that it is the morphological character which makes the basis for classification of plants.

In animal, classification is based on more minute structural variations. So in place of morphology, cytology forms the basis. Animals are classified based on layers of cells, presence or absence of coelom. Further, higher hierarchy animals are classified based on the presence or absence of smaller features, like presence or absence of four legs.

Question 6.
Explain how animals in Vertebrata are classified into further subgroups.
Answer:
Vertebrata is divided into two super classes, viz. Pisces and Tetrapoda. Animals of pisces have streamlined body with fins and tails to assist in swimming. Animals of tetrapoda have four limbs for locomotion.
Tetrapoda is further classified into following classes:

1. Amphibia: Amphibians are adapted to live in water and on land. They can breathe oxygen through kin when under water.
2. Reptilia: These are crawling animals. Skin is hard to withstand extreme temperatures.
3. Aves: Forelimbs are modified into wings to assist in flying. Beaks are present. Body is covered with feathers.
4. Mammalia: Mammary glands are present to nurture young ones. Skin is covered with hair. Most of the animals are viviparous.

Question 3.
Explain five kingdom classification by Robert Whittaker (1959).
Answer:
Five Kingdom Classification by Robert Whittaker (1959):
This is the most accepted system of classification. The five kingdoms and their key characteristics are given below:

1. Monera: These are prokaryotes; which means nuclear materials are not membrane bound in them. They may or may not have cell wall. They can be autotrophic or heterotrophic. All organisms of this kingdom are unicellular. Examples: bacteria, blue green algae (cyanobacteria) and mycoplasma.

2. Protista: These are eukaryotes and unicellular. Some organisms use cilia or flagella for locomotion. They can be autotrophic or heterotrophic. Examples: unicellular algae, diatoms and protozoans.

3. Fungi: These are heterotrohic and have cell wall. The cell wall is made of chitin. Most of the fungi are unicellular. Many of them have the capacity to become multicellular at certain stage in saprophytic. Some fungi live in symbiotic relationship with other organisms, while some are parasites as well.
Examples:

• Yeast
• penicillum
• aspergillus
• mucor etc.

4. Plantae: These are multicellular and autotrophs. The presence of chlorophyll is a distinct characteristic of plants, because of which they are capable of doing photosynthesis. Cell wall is present.

5. Animalia: These are multicellular and heterotophs. Cell wall is absent. They feed on decaying organic materials.

To prove:
∆ABC = ∆DEF
Proof:
Since the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°. We have
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = ∠D + ∠E + ∠F
Since ∠A = ∠D and ∠B – ∠E (Given)
∠C = ∠F …..(i)
Now, in ∆ABC and ∆DEF, we have
∠B = ∠E (Given)
∠C = ∠F [From, (i)]
and BC = EF (Given)
∴ ∆ABC ≅ ∆DEF [ASA Cong. Theorem]

Tissues Short Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
How do tissues formed in multicellular organisms?
Answer:
During development from zygote (formed by the union of egg and sperm), a large number of cells are formed. These cells undergo differentiation to produce various specialised tissues to perform different functions in the living body.

Question 2.
What are the characteristics of plant tissues?
Answer:
Plants are stationary or fixed, they do not need much energy. So, most of the tissues they have are supportive, which provide them with structural strength. Most of these tissues are dead; they do not contain living protoplasm.

Question 3.
What are structural and functional differences between plants and animals?
Answer:
As plants do not move, they do not need much energy. So, most of the tissues they have are dead and supportive. But animals need energy as they move around in search of food, mate and shelter. So, most of the animal tissues are living.

Question 4.
Why do meristematic cells lack vacuoles?
Answer:
Meristematic cells divide frequently to give rise to new cells. So, they need dense cytoplasm and soft cell wall. Vacuoles cause hindrance in cell division as they are full of cell sap and provide turgidity and rigidity to the cell.

Question 5.
What are characteristic structural features of meristematic cells ?
Answer:
Meristematic cells have:

1. Thin cell walls.
2. Abundant or dense cytoplasm and single large nucleus.
3. Spherical, oval, polygonal or rectangular shape.
4. No intercellular spaces between them.
5. Either no vacuoles at all or a few vacuoles.

Question 6.
List any four salient features of meristematic tissue.
Answer:

1. This tissue consists of actively dividing cells.
2. This tissue is present in growing regions of plants.
3. In this tissue, cells are packed closely without intercellular spaces.
4. Cells of this tissue have thin cell walls, dense cytoplasm and prominent nuclei.

Question 7.
What are permanent tissues?
Answer:
The cells of meristematic tissue lose the ability to divide and get differentiated into specialised cells. These differentiated cells form different types of tissues which are known as permanent tissues.
Some examples: permanent tissues are

• parenchyma
• sclerenchyma etc.

Question 8.
With the help of only schematic line diagram, show classification of main permanent tissues.
Answer:

Question 9.
Write the characteristics of collenchyma.
Answer:
The cells in this type of tissue are living, elongated and thickened with cellulose at the corners. There is very little intercellular space. This tissue provides flexibility and mechanical support to plants. It is found in hypodermis of stems and leaf stalks.

Question 10.
What are protective tissues?
Answer:
All parts of plants e.g., leaves, flowers, stems and roots are covered by a single outermost protective layer called epidermis. It consists of rectangular, closely fitted relatively flat cells which lack intercellular spaces. Usually, it is one cell thick and is covered with cutin. Epidermis protects internal tissues of the plant.

Question 11.
Does the outer most protective layer is throughout, continuous? If not, what interruptions are usually foundation leaves and herbaceous parts of the plant?
Answer:
Epidermis is the outermost layer of cells in leaves and green herbaceous stems. It is not a continuous layer as it contain numerous minute pores called stomata.

Question 12.
Write major functions of stomata present in the epidermis.
Answer:
Major functions of stomata:

1. Stomata are essential for exchange of gases – oxygen and carbon dioxide between the plant and the atmosphere.
2. Normally, plants remove excessive water in the form of vapour through stomata. This process is called transpiration.

Question 13.
What is the main function of vascular tissues in plants?
Answer:
Vascular tissues transport:

1. Water and dissolved minerals from toots to various parts of the plant (xylem).
2. Prepared food material from leaves to different plant parts (phloem).

Question 14.
What ire vascular bundles?
Answer:
In plants, complex tissues xylem and phloem altogether constitute a structure called vascular bundle. Their main function is transportation of water, salts and food materials within the plant body.

Question 15.
List four elements of phloem. Which one of them is most important and why?
Answer:
Phloem consists of following four elements:

1. Sieve tubes
2. Companion cells
3. Phloem parenchyma
4. Phloem fibres.

The most important element of phloem is sieve tubes because they translocate food materials from leaves to other parts of plant.

Question 16.
What is muscular tissue? What is their function?
Answer:
1. Muscular tissue: This is a specialised tissue which is composed of contractile, fibre – like cells. This tissue is responsible for movement in our body.

2. Function: The movement of the body or limbs is brought about by contraction and relaxation of contractile proteins present in the muscle cells.

Question 17.
In desert plants, epidermis is covered by waxy substances. Can you think why?
Answer:
Waxy substances which cover epidermis are waterproof and hence, they check loss of water during transpiration. Besides this, they also aid in protection against mechanical injury and invasion by parasitic fungi.

Question 18.

2. Cuboidai epithelium: it forms the lining of kidney tubules and ducts of salivary glands where it provides mechanical support.

Question 20.
What are the two main components of blood? Why is blood considered a type of connective tissue?
Answer:
Blood has two main components:

1. Fluid (liquid) matrix called plasma.
2. Suspended red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs) and platelets.

Blood is considered as a connective tissue because:

1. It has the same Origin as the other connective tissues.
2. It flows to different parts of the body and thus, connects different parts of the body with one another to exchange materials and gases.

Question 21.
Why do blood and lymph called as connective tissues?
Answer:
The fluid tissue (blood and lymph) connects various parts (cells) of the body. It supplies nutritive materials, oxygen and hormones collected from different organs to the body tissues. It also collects waste materials from different body tissues and delivers to excretory organs.

Question 22.
Why is blood called as fluid connective tissue?
Answer:
Blood is considered as a connective tissue because it connects different parts of the body. It contains plasma as matrix in which blood cells remain suspended. Being matrix (plasma) in liquid state, blood is called fluid connective tissue.

Question 23.
Explain how the bark of a tree is formed. How does it act as a protective tissue?
Answer:
As trees grow old, a strip of secondary meristem replaces the epidermis of the stem. Cells on the outside are cut off from this layer. This forms the several layer thick cork or the bark of the tree. Bark is a mass of dead tissue lying in the peripheral region of the plant body as a hard dry covering. Its function is protection. It protects the inner tissues against the attack of fungi and insects, against loss of water by evaporation etc.

Question 24.
What is the difference between voluntary and involuntary muscles? Give example of each.
Answer:
Voluntary muscles are those which are directly under control of our will
e.g.

• skeletal muscle.

They work or contract on our command. Involuntary muscles are not under the command of our will. We cannot control contraction and relaxation of these muscles. They are of two types – smooth muscles and cardiac muscles. Smooth muscles are found in stomach, intestine, iris of eye, in ureters and in the bronchi of lungs. Another type of involuntary muscles that is, cardiac muscles are found in heart.

Answer:
On the basis of location of meristem, it is classified into three types:

1. Apical meristem: It is present at the tip of stem, root and their branches.

2. Intercalary meristem: It is found at the leaf base, above the nodes (i.e. at the base of internodes as in grasses) or below the nodes (i.e. at the upper most region of internode as in mint.)

3. Lateral meristem: Vascular cambium and cork cambium are the examples of lateral meristem. Vascular cambium is found in vascular bundles while cork cambium is found underneath the bark of trees. Both of these cause increase in the girth of plants.

Question 3.
Draw a labelled diagratn of shoot to show location of meristematic tissues in the plant body and write the functions of each of them.
Answer:
Functions:

1. Apical meristem: It increases the length of the stem and the root.
2. Lateral meristem (cambium): It increases the girth of the stems and roots.
3. Intercalary meristem: It is present at the base of the leaves or internode (on either side of the node).

It produces buds which develop in auxiliary branches or auxiliary floral branches.

Question 4.
Explain the structure of parenchyma. What are its major modifications?
Answer:
Parenchyma: It is the basic or fundamental tissue found in plants. Cells of this tissue are thin walled, circular or polygonal. They are living with a nucleus and a vacuole. Intercellular spaces are present between the cells of this tissue. Two modifications of parenchyma are chlorenchyma and aerenchyma.

Chlorenchyma: Sometimes cells of the parenchyma contain chlorophyll and perform photosynthesis. This kind of parenchyma is known as chlorenchyma.

Aerenchyma: In aquatic plants, parenchyma contains big air spaces in between them. Such a parenchyma tissue is known

(a) Parenchyma with intercellular spaces.
(b) Aerenchyma with big spaces

Question 5.
Write the main functions of parenchyma.
Answer:
Functions of the parenchyma:

1. They store food.
2. They provide temporary support by retaining the turgid condition of cells.
3. Chlorenchyma containing chloroplasts prepare food through photosynthesis.
4. In aquatic plants, aerenchyma gives buoyancy to plants and hence they can float easily.

Question 6.
Describe the structure of selerenchyma. Write its major functions.
Answer:
Selerenchyma: Selerenchyma is the chief mechanical tissue of plants. The cells of this tissue are usually long, narrow and pointed at both ends. Due to deposition of lignin, their walls are often very highly thickened. Hence, the lumen of cell cavity is nearly obliterated. They are usually provided with simple pits which may be oblique or straight.
The selerenchyma cells are dead cells and their main function is to provide strength and rigidity to the plant.

Question 7.
What is xylem? Explain its structure. Which one of its component is very important and why?
Answer:
Xylem is a complex plant tissue which transports water and dissolved minerals from roots to all other plant parts.

Structure: Xylem consists of four kinds of cells (also known as elements):
(i) Tracheids: A tracheid is an elongated, hollow cell with its both ends tapering. The walls of these cells are thickened by the deposition of lignin. At certain spots lignin is not present. These spots are termed as pits. The tracheids are dead cells.

(ii) Vessels: These are tube like structures formed by a number of cells placed end to end with their transverse walls dissolved. The side walls of these tubes also have deposition of lignin. The thickening of the walls show various kinds of patterns. They are also dead cells.

(iii) Xylem parenchyma: These are parenchymatous, thin walled, living cells. They help in lateral conduction of water and sap. They also store food.

(iv) Xylem fibres: They are lignified dead fibres which provide mechanical support to plant. The most important element of xylem is vessel because most of the water and minerals are carried upward through this component of xylem.

Question 8.
Describe the structure of phloem.
Answer:
Structure of phloem: The main conducting part of the phloem is sieve tube which is formed of elongated cylindrical cells arranged in vertical rows. The walls between the cells have many minute pores through which food material can pass from one cell to the next. The porous walls between the cells is termed as sieve plate. Each sieve tube is supported by a long parenchymatous cell called the companion cell which helps the sieve tubes in the conduction of food material.

The above figure shows that phloem also contains phloem fibres, which provide mechanical support. Another component of phloem is parenchyma cells which stores food.

Question 9.
What is epithelial tissue?
Answer:
Epithelial Tissue: Epithelial tissue forms covering of entire surface of the body and lines the internal organs. Because of this, epithelial tissue is also called protective tissue. It also forms a barrier to keep different body systems separate. In this tissue cells are closely associated and arranged on a very thin extracellular fibrous basement membrane. Epithelial tissue may be composed of one (simple epithelium) or more layers of cells (compound epithelium). The skin, lining of mouth and alimentary canal, lung alveoli etc. are made of epithelial tissues.

Question 10.
What are the four main functions of epithelial tissue?
Answer:
The four main functions of epithelial tissue are:

1. It forms the outer layer of skin and hence it protects the underlying cells from drying, injury, bacterial and chemical effects..
2. It forms lining of mouth, alimentary canal and other internal organs and thus protects these organs.
3. It helps in absorption of water and other nutrients in alimentary canal.
4. Some of them are greatly specialised and perform secretory function.

Question 11.
What are the categories of epithelial tissue depending upon the shape and function of epithelial cells?
Answer:
Depending upon the shape and function of the cells, epithelial tissue is classified as:

Question 12.
What are the various forms of epithelial tissues? Describe briefly.
Answer:
(i) Squamous epithelium: The cells of this tissue are thin and flat forming a delicate lining. It is found in the alveoli and blood vessels. Tongue, oesophagus and lining of mouth also made up of squamous epithelium.

(ii) Cuboidal epithelium: The cells of this tissue are cube like in appearance. It is found in the lining of kidney tubules and ducts of salivary glands etc.

(iii) Columnar epithelium: The cells of this tissue are more tall and wide, placed side by side. Their nuclei are situated near the bases. They may have finger like . projections – the microvilli on their free surfaces. This tissue usually lives in the internal surface of stomach and intestine.

(iv) Ciliated epithelium: The cells of this tissue are modifications of columnar epithelial cells. They have many small hair like projections called cilia on their free ends. This type of epithelium is found in trachea and oviduct.

(v) Striated squamous epithelium: Cells of this tissue are similar to squamous epithelial cells but in this tissue they are arranged in many layers to prevent wear and tear of parts. In skin, striated squamous epithelium is found.

(vi) Glandular epithelium: In this type of epithelium, cells secrete substances at the epithelial surface. Such type of epithelium is found in glands.

Question 13.
Explain the structure of three types of muscle fibres. Also write the locations where they are found in the body.
Answer:
The following are the three types of muscle cells:
(i) Unstriated muscles: (Also known as smooth, involuntary muscles). This type of muscular tissue consists of spindle – shaped, long uninucleate cells. These muscles are present in alimentary canal, blood vessels, iris of eye, in ureters and bronchi of lungs etc.

(ii) Striated muscles: Also known as voluntary muscles because of their function being in our control or will. This type of muscular cells are long multi – nucleated and, enclosed in a membrane known as sarcolemma. Each fibre has several longitudinal filaments embedded in cytoplasm. These filaments give these muscles striated appearance. These muscles are attached to the skeleton; so they are also called skeletal muscles.

(iii) Cardiac muscles: These muscles are found in heart. They are not under the control of the will. They contract rhythmically and involuntarily throughout life without the sign of fatigue. Structurally they show the characters of both unstriated and striated muscles. They are made up of branched fibres. These fibres are uninucleated and show alternate light and dark bands (striations).

Question 14.
What are three main categories of connective tissue?
Answer:
Categories of Connective Tissue:
(i) Connective tissue: There is a matrix in which generally two types of (white and yellow) fibres are present. In between these fibres some connective tissue cells are present.
Examples of this kind of connective tissues are

• areolar tissue and
• adipose tissue.

(ii) Skeletal tissue: This type of tissue forms the skeleton of an organism. It is of two types – cartilage and bone Cartilage has solid matrix, called chondrin, in which fibres and cells known as chondrocytes are present. Usually, cells are present in clusters of 2 – 3 cells in small spaces called lacunae. Cartilage is found in the regions of pinna, nose, trachea and larynx. In bones, matrix is formed of a protein called ossein impregnated with phosphate and carbonates of calcium and magnesium.

(iii) Fluid tissue: Blood and lymph are examples of fluid connective tissue. These are specialized connective tissues. It consists of liquid matrix with no fibres. In liquid matrix called plasma corpuscles remain suspended. Blood transports food material, gases and other substances to the various parts of the body.

Question 15.
What are fibrous connective tissue?
Answer:
Fibrous connective tissue. It is of two types:
(i) The white fibrous connective tissue: It consists of white, non-elastic, unbranched fibres which unite to form bundles called tendons. Tendons are strong, tough and smooth, rope like structures which serve to attach muscles with the bones.

(ii) The yellow fibrous connective tissue: It also consists of fibres which are fine thread like structures. These fibres are quite elastic. Like white elastic fibres, these fibres also form cords called ligaments. These ligaments connect two bones.

Question 16.
Describe the structure of cartilage and bone.
Answer:
1. Cartilage: It is a solid but semi – rigid and flexible connective tissue. It has large, bluntly angular cartilage cells called chondrocytes. They occur in clusters of 2 or 3 in small spaces (lacunae) scattered in the matrix. Cartilage smoothens bone surfaces at joints and is also present in the nose, ear, trachea and larynx.

2. Bone: Bone is a solid, rigid and strong connective tissue. Its matrix become hard due to the deposition of salts of calcium and phosphorus. Osteocytes or bone cells are present in irregular spaces – lacunae in the matrix, interconnected by fine canals called canaliculi. In this tissue, matrix deposits in concentric rings around narrow longitudinal cavities called Haversian canals. These canal carries blood vessels and nerves.

Question 17.
Explain the structure of a fluid connective tissue.
Answer:
Blood is a fluid connective tissue consists of:

1. Blood plasma: It is the fluid matrix which contains 85% to 90% water, 7% different types of proteins, 0.9% of salts, about 0.1% glucose and a very small amount of hormones, wastes etc. In the plasma, blood corpuscles (cells) are suspended.
2. Blood cells. Three kinds of blood cells are found suspended in the blood plasma.

These are:
(a) Red blood corpuscles (erythrocytes) or RBC
(b) White blood corpuscles (leucocytes) or WBC and
(c) Blood platelets.

(a) Red blood corpuscles (erythrocytes) or RBC:
The red blood corpuscles are biconcave, disc – like cells which are devoid of nucleus. They contain a substance called haemoglobin because of this they appear red in colour. The most important function of the RBC is the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

(b) White blood corpuscles (leucocytes) or WBC: These cells are comparatively larger in size, colourless and irregular in appearance. They are devoid of haemoglobin. They protect our body from diseases by destroying germs.

(c) Blood platelets: These are small, 2 – 4μ in diameter. They are without nucleus. Their main function is to liberate some substances which helps in blood clotting.

Question 18.
What are areolar tissue and adipose tissue? Where are they located?
Answer:

1. Areolar tissue: It is a connective tissue which consists of matrix, several types of cells, collagen and elastin fibres.
2. Location: They are found between the skin and muscles, around blood vessels and nerves and in the bone marrow.
3. Functions: It fills space inside the organs, support internal organs and helps in repair of the tissues.
   
4. Adipose tissue: It consists of cells (adipocytes) which are filled with fat globules. These cells remain scattered in a matrix.
5. Location: It is found below the skin and between internal organs.
6. Function: It stores fats and act as insulator.
   

Question 19.
(i) What is a nervous tissue?
(ii) Draw a well labelled diagram of neuron. (label any 4 parts).
Answer:
(i) Nervous Tissue: Nervous tissue is made up of specialised cells called nerve cells or neurons. Each nerve cell is elongated in shape and consists of three parts: cell body, dendrites and axon.The cell body contains a distinct nucleus and has a special kind of granules, called Nissel’s granules in the cytoplasm. From the cell body a single long part called the axon and many branched parts called dendrites arise. In some nerve cells, the axon has a thick white covering called medullary sheath. The terminal end of axon is without sheath and branched. Each nerve cell receives message through the dendrites and sends them to the axon (see Fig. below).
(ii)
