INTEXT QUESTIONS 21.2
1) A seedling grows into a small plant. What kind of division causes this —mitosis or meiosis?
Ans: – A seeding grows into a small plant; this division is called as the mitosis cell division.
2) Our nails have to be cut occasionally. Which kind of cell division makes the nails long?
Ans: – Our nails have to be cut occasionally; this kind of cell division is known as mitosis.
3)Name the type of cell division that occurs during the following events:
i) repair of skin and injury ____mitosis___________
ii) formation of eggs and sperms in animals _____meiosis__________
iii) increase in the length of stem in plants ____mitosis___________
4) Out of the following organs where does meiosis occur? Hair, liver, testis (male reproductive organ), cheek cell, ovary (female reproductive organ)
Ans: –The testis of male reproductive organ and ovary of female reproductive organ meiosis is occurred.
INTEXT QUESTIONS 21.3
1)Name the following:
(i) The kind of tissues present at the stem tip of a flowering plant.
Ans: – Meristematic tissue present at the stem tip of a flowering plant.
(ii) The tissue which connects muscle to the bone.
Ans: – Fibrous tissue connect muscle to the bone.
(iii) The kind of tissue which forms the inner lining of blood vessels.
Ans: – The inner lining of blood vessels is the unstriped tissue.
(iv) Undifferentiated cells which can divide through mitosis and differentiate into specialized cell types.
Ans: – The stem cell divided the mitosis and differentiate into specialized cell types.
2)Where do you find the following in the human body?
(i) Nodes of Ranvier _______nerve cell _________________________
(ii) Ciliated epithelium _______________intestine_________
(iii) Smooth muscles _______blood vessel wall______________________
(iv) Fluid connective tissue ____Blood and lymph_________________________
3) In the flow chart given below fill in the blanks.
Ans: –
TERMINAL EXERCISES
1) Name the kind of plant tissue found
(i) at the growing parts of the plant.
Ans: – Meristematic tissue.
(ii) at the root tip.
Ans: – Apical meristem.
(iii) in vascular bundles.
Ans: – Xylem and phloem.
(iv) in the inner lining of the intestine.
Ans: – Epithelial
(v) Connecting the adjacent muscle fibres.
Ans: – Tendons.
2) State one point of difference between the following (one key difference only).
(i) Cytoplasm and protoplasm.
Ans: – Protoplasm has nucleus but cytoplasm not.
(ii) Cell wall and cell membrane.
Ans: – cell membrane is present in plant and animal cell and cell wall is present in plant cell only
(iii) Ribosomes and mitochondria.
Ans: – Ribosomes helps in protein synthesis and mitochondria helps in providing power in cell.
(iv) Blood and lymph.
Ans: – The body temperature is controlled by the blood whereas the body works against the pathogens by the helps of the lymph.
(v) Cell and tissue.
Ans: – The fundamental unit of body is known as the cell and this group of cells made a tissue.
(vi) Cartilage and bone.
Ans: – Bone is hard whereas cartilage isnot like that its soft.
(vii) Meristematic tissue and permanent tissue.
Ans: – Permanent tissue doesn’t helps in growth but meristematic does.
3) Answer these questions.
(i) Which cell organelle is responsible for the release of energy in the form of ATP?
Ans: – Mitochondria is responsible for the release of energy in the cell in ATP form.
(ii) What is the significance of cell membrane?
Ans: – The outer cover of the cell of plant and animal is known as the cell membrane. The cell membrane protects the cell inner side.
(iii) Why are mitochondria known as the ‘powerhouse’ of the cell?
Ans: – As the mitochondria provides the energy to every organ of the cell this mitochondrion is known as the powerhouse of the cell.
(iv) What will happen to a cell if its nucleus is removed?
Ans: – The whole body or the cell are controllable by the nucleus so when it will remove the cell doesn’t work properly or damage.
(v) Is this statement true or false: Plant cells have chloroplasts, but no mitochondria? Justify your answer.
Ans: – The works of mitochondria is to provide the energy to the cell in the plant body whereas the chloroplast also makes the energy for the different plant cell.
(vi) Mention three features found only in plant cells and one found only in animal cells.
Ans: – Chloroplasts, cell wall, globoids only present in plant cell. And in plant cell lysosome present.

Ans: – The three kinds of permanent tissue are –
- Parenchyma
- Collenchyma
- Scremchyma
(viii) What is a protective tissue? Why is epidermis considered as a protective tissue?
Ans: – The protective cell is the cell which present in the outermost part of the cell body. This protective cell protects the cell from the outer affect and this cell protection tissue is cell wall and cell membrane.
