Which of the following is a connective tissue having liquid matrix?

  1. Bone

  2. Blood

  3. Ligament

  4. Cartilage

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Blood is a fluid connective tissue in which matrix is a fluid (liquid) comprising of plasma which contains proteins, salts and hormones.

Which of the following plant tissues store(s) food?

  1. Parenchyma

  2. Collenchyma

  3. Sclerenchyma

  4. Chlorenchyma

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Parenchyma is a type of simple permanent tissue having unspecialised cells with thin cell walls. It is living, loosely packed and provides support to plants. It also stores food, nutrients and water. 

Which of the following plant tissues contains chlorophyll and performs photosynthesis?

  1. Parenchyma

  2. Aerenchyma

  3. Chlorenchyma

  4. Collenchyma

  5. Sclerenchyma


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Chlorenchyma contains chlorophyll and performs photosynthesis. It can be seen in the mesophyll of leaves.

Which of the following muscles is/are immune to fatigue?

  1. Heart muscle

  2. Thigh muscle

  3. Eye muscle

  4. Skeletal muscle

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Heart muscle is a cardiac muscle. It is voluntary in structure, but involuntary in function. Thus, heart muscle is immune to fatigue.

Which of the following is responsible for making cell wall impervious to gases and water?

  1. Cutin

  2. Suberin

  3. Sclereid

  4. Lignin

  5. Cambium


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Suberin is a complex polymer present in the wall or cork cells. It makes cell wall impervious to gases and water. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Smooth muscles are not found in

  1. iris of eye

  2. ureters

  3. bronchi of the lungs

  4. thigh

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct answer as smooth muscles are involuntary muscles. 

Which of the following tissues facilitate(s) absorption of mechanical shock?

  1. Bone

  2. Cartilage

  3. Ligament

  4. Tendon

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Cartilage has widely spaced cells and is composed of proteins and sugars. 

Which of the following tissues is responsible for making water hyacinth float on water surface?

  1. Chlorenchyma

  2. Aerenchyma

  3. Parenchyma

  4. Collenchyma

  5. Sclerenchyma


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In hydrophytes, large air cavities are present in parenchyma to give buoyancy to the plants. Such type of parenchyma is called arenchyma. 

Cuboidal epithelium is present in

  1. lining of the mouth

  2. inner lining of the intestine

  3. lining of kidney tubules

  4. lining of oesophagus

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Cuboidal epithelium is present in the lining of kidney tubules.

Which of the follwoing substances protects the plant body against invasion of parasites?

  1. Cutin

  2. Suberin

  3. Sclereids

  4. Lignin

  5. None of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Lignin is the correct answer as lignin is a complex polymer which acts as cement and hardens the cell wall. It is present in the walls of cells of sclerenchyma tissue. Such cell walls are called lignified.

Which of the following is/are not an element of xylem?

  1. Tracheids

  2. Vessels

  3. Sieve tube

  4. Parenchyma

  5. Xylem fiber


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Sieve tube is not an element of xylem. It is an element of phloem. Sieve tube is a tubular cell with perforated walls.

Which of the following tissues make(s) a plant hard and stiff?

  1. Parenchyma

  2. Collenchyma

  3. Sclerenchyma

  4. Meristematic tissue

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Sclerenchyma tissue is responsible for making a plant hard and stiff. 

Epithelium tissue having an inward fold is called

  1. glandular epithelium

  2. ciliated columnar epithelium

  3. stratified squamous epithelium

  4. cuboidal epithelium

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sometimes, a portion of the epithelial tissue folds inwards and a multicellular gland is formed. This is known as glandular epithelium.

Which of the following areas in our body bear(s) ciliated epithelium?

  1. Respiratory tract

  2. Oesophagus

  3. Kidney

  4. Mouth

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Respiratory tract is the correct answer. The columnar epithelium tissue in the respiratory tract has hair-like projections called cilia. They help in pushing the mucus forward to clean it.

Which of the following names is/are also used for voluntary muscle?

A. Skeletal muscle B. Smooth muscle C. Striated muscle D. Cardiac muscle

  1. B and D

  2. A and C

  3. C and D

  4. A and B

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. Voluntary muscles are called skeletal muscles because they are mostly attached to bones and help in body movement. Voluntary muscles are also called striated muscles because these muscles show alternate light and dark bands or striations, when strained appropriately.
