    TISSUES (ASSERTION AND REASON)

    DIRECTION: In each of the following questions, a statement of Assertion is given and a


    corresponding statement of Reason is given just below it. Of the statements, given below,
    mark the correct answer as:
    (a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
    (b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
    (c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
    (d) Assertion is false but reason is true.
    (e) Both Assertion and Reason are false.

    1. Assertion. Collenchyma is unevenly thickened walled tissue.


    Reason. Collenchyma is thickened due to deposition of pectin.

    2. Assertion: A simple tissue is made of only one type of cells.


    Reason: Various simple tissues in plants are parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma.
    3. Assertion: Meristematic tissues constitute the major portion of the plant body.
    Reason: Meristematic tissues consist of differentiated cells.
    4. Assertion: Surface of skin is impervious to water.
    Reason: Surface of skin is covered by stratified cuboidal epithelium.
    5. Assertion: Vascular or conductive tissue is a distinctive feature of complex plants.
    Reason: Vascular tissue has made survival of complex plants possible in terrestrial
    environment.
    6. Assertion: The inner lining of intestine has tall epithelial cells.
    Reason: Columnar epithelium facilitates absorption and secretion.
    7. Assertion: Ciliated epithelium helps in movement of particles.
    Reason: Cilia help in movement.
    8. Assertion: Vessel and sieve tube both are meant for transport purposes.
    Reason: Vessels are lignified.
    9. Assertion: Permanent tissue is composed of mature cells.
    Reason: Meristematic tissue is a group of actively dividing cells
    10. Assertion: Most of plant tissues are dead.
    Reason: Due to sedentary existence of plants, dead cells provide mechanical strength more
    easily than live ones and need less maintenance.
    ANSWER:
    1. (a)
    2. (b)
    3. (e) Both Assertion and Reason are false. Meristematic tissues, after differentiation,
    give rise to permanent tissues. These constitute the major portion of the plant body.
    4. (c) Assertion is true but reason is false. Surface of skin is impervious to water because
    it is covered by stratified keratinized squamous epithelium. This epithelium has many
    superficial layers of horny, scale- like remains of dead squamous cells and several
    deeper layers of living polygonal cells. Heavy deposits of the insoluble protein keratin
    are present in the dead superficial layers which makes this epithelium impervious to
    water. Stratified cuboidal epithelium, on the other hand, lines the inner surface of
    sweat gland, large salivary and pancreatic ducts.
    5. (b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of
    assertion.
    Xylem and phloem are vascular tissues that conduct water, minerals and food to
    various parts of plants. Vascular tissue is a distinctive feature of the complex plants,
    one that has made their survival in terrestrial environment possible.
    6. (a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of
    assertion. Where absorption and secretion occur, such as in the inner lining of the
    intestine, tall epithelial cells or columnar epithelium is present. This epithelium
    facilitates movement or diffusion across the epithelial barrier.
    7. (a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of
    assertion. The function of the cilia is to move particles, free cells or mucus in a
    specific direction. It is present in inner surfaces of some hollow organs such as
    Fallopian tubes, bronchioles and small bronchi and help in movement of the particles
    present there. Thus, the function of ciliated epithelium (as it possesses cilia) is the
    movement of particles.
    8. (b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of
    assertion. Vessel is a long-distance channel for water transport. Sieve tube is a long-
    distance channel for transport of organic nutrients. The wall of vessel is lignified.
    Lignification is absent in sieve tubes.
    9. (b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of
    assertion. A meristematic tissue is a group of cells that are in a continuous state of
    division or retain their power of division. Permanent tissues are composed of mature
    cells that, after undergoing complete growth, have assumed a definite shape, size and
    function and have temporarily or permanently lost the power of division.
    10. (a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of
    assertion.
