Answer:

These muscles show rhythmic contraction and relaxation throughout life.
These are found only in the wall of the heart.
These have only one or two centrally located nuclei.
Question 4.

(f) Nervous tissue

Bihar Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 6 Tissues
Question 11.
Identify the types of tissue in the following: skin, bprk of tree, bone, lining of kidney tubule, vascular bundle.
Answer:
(i) Skin – Squamous epithebum
(ii) Bark pf tree – Cork (protective tissue)
(iii) Bone – Connective tissue
(iv) Lini’ng of kidney tubule – Cuboidal epithelium
(v) Vascular bundle – Conductive tissue

Question 12.
Name the regions in which parenchyma tissue is present.
Answer:
Parenchyma tissue is present in cortex and marrow of roots and stems. When it bears chlorophyll, it is found in green leaves.

Question 13.
What is the role of epider-mis in plants?
Answer:
The epidermis forms a continuous layer or +covering without any intercellular space. It protects all the plant parts.

Question 14.
How does cork act as a protective tissue?
Answer:
Cork acts as a protective layer because –
(i) It has dead cells and it forms layer without leaving any intercellular space.
(ii) Suberin is deposited on its wall which makes it able to help the exchange of gases.
So, cork protects from excessive water loss and effects of the environment.

Question 15.

Bihar Board Class 9 Science Chapter 6 Tissues Textbook Activities
Activity 6.1

Take two glass jars and fill them with water.
Now, take two onion bulbs and place one on each jar, as shown in Fig. 6.1 of the textbook page 69.
Observe the growth of roots in both the bulbs for a few days.
Measure the length of roots on day 1, 2 and 3.
On day 4, cut the root tips of the onion bulb in jar 2 by about 1 cm. After this, observe the ,, growth of roots in both the jars and measure their lengths each day for five more days and record the observations in tables, like the table below :
Bihar Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 6 Tissues – 6
questions :
(i) Which of the two onions has longer roots? Why?
(ii) Do the roots continue growing even after we have removed their tips?
(iii) Why would the tips stop growing in jar two after we cut them?
Answer:
(i) The first on has longer roots. This was because the meristematic u cues present on the root tips of onion kept in the second onion were cut out.
(ii) NO2 the roots stop to grow.
(iii) This is so because the meristematic tissues present at the root tips have been removed by cutting the roots.

Activity 6.2

Take a plant stem and with the help of your teacher cut into very thin slices or sections.
Now, stain the slices with safranin. Place one neatly cut section on a slide, and put a drop of glycerine.
Cover with a cover-slip and observe under a microscope. Observe the various types of cells and their arrangement. Compare it with Fig. 6.4 given in the textbook page 70.
Now, answer the following on the basis of your observation:
(i) Are all cells similar in structure?
(ii) How many types of cells can be seen?
(iii) Can we think of reasons why there would be so many types of cells?
Answer:
(i) NO2 they have differences.
(ii) Almost eight different types of cells like Parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma, trachieds, vessels, vascular tubes, companion cells, meristematic cells, etc. can be seen.
(iii) In fact, these different types of cells are present to support division of labour. Each special type of cell is meant for performing specific function.
We can also try to cut sections of plant roots, we can even try cutting sections of root and stem of different plants.

Answer:
The tissue which is made up of same (one) type of cell is called .simple tissue. The tissue which is made up olrce 11s of more than one type is called complex tissue.

Question 4.
Mention the features of meristematic – tissues.
Answer:
Following arj^ the features of meristematic tissues:
(i) These tissues are made up of identical thin-walled I cells.
(ii) The cells of meristematic tissues can be spherical, oval, rectangular or polygonal.
(iii) The cells of meristematic tissues divide rapidly to help the growth and development of plants.
(iv) The cells of these tissues are closely packed without occupying more space.
(v) The cells of meristematic tissues have dense cytoplasm and a large nucleus.
(vi) Some vacuoles may be present or absent in the cells of meristematie tissue.

Question 5.
On the basis of their presence, in how many types the meristematic tissues can be divided?
Answer:
Meristematic tissues can be divided into three types :
(i) Apical
(ii) Lateral (Cambium)
(iii) Intercalary

Question 6.
What are the functions of cambium?
Answer:
Cambium is responsible for increase in the girth : of roots and stems and also it forms rings after a certain time, which indicate the age of the tree.
