A. Tendon
B. Ligament
C. Adipose tissue
D. Areolar tissue
Answer: Ligaments are strong, slightly elastic bands that connect bone to bone and hold joints together.
A. Bone
B. Cartilage
C. Blood
D. Adipose tissue
Answer: Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found at joints and in the nose and ears.
A. Cell
B. Tissue
C. Organ
D. Organ system
Answer: The heart is an organ because it is made of several tissues working together to pump blood.
A. Excretory system
B. Digestive system
C. Nervous system
D. Circulatory system
Answer: The excretory system, mainly the kidneys, removes metabolic wastes and excess water as urine.
A. Parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma
B. Apical, intercalary and lateral
C. Xylem, phloem and cambium
D. Epidermal, vascular and ground
Answer: On the basis of position, meristematic tissues are classified as apical, intercalary and lateral meristems.
A. Cardiac muscle tissue
B. Skeletal muscle tissue
C. Smooth muscle tissue
D. Nervous tissue
Answer: Cardiac muscle in the heart wall contracts rhythmically to pump blood.
A. Skeletal muscle
B. Cardiac muscle
C. Smooth muscle
D. Striated voluntary muscle
Answer: Smooth muscle is present in the walls of blood vessels and other hollow internal organs.
A. Axon, cell body, dendrites
B. Dendrites, cell body, axon
C. Axon, dendrites, cell body
D. Cell body, dendrites, axon
Answer: Impulses enter through dendrites, pass through the cell body and leave along the axon.
A. Dendrite
B. Synapse
C. Node of Ranvier
D. Axon
Answer: The axon is a long single process that conducts impulses away from the cell body to other neurons or muscles.
A. Nervous tissue
B. Adipose tissue
C. Areolar tissue
D. Squamous tissue
Answer: Nervous tissue shows irritability, responding to stimuli and conducting signals rapidly.
A. Platelets
B. Lymphocytes
C. Red blood cells
D. Plasma
Answer: Lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, produce antibodies to fight infection.
A. Squamous epithelium
B. Cardiac muscle
C. Bone
D. Neuron
Answer: Bone is a connective tissue with a hard matrix of calcium salts; the others are epithelial, muscular and nervous tissues.
A. Bone
B. Blood
C. Tendon
D. Cartilage
Answer: Cartilage is a flexible, semi-rigid tissue found at joints and in the ear and nose.
A. Cardiac muscle
B. Skeletal muscle
C. Smooth muscle
D. Epithelial tissue
Answer: Cardiac muscle cells are branched and joined end to end by intercalated discs.
A. Companion cells
B. Tracheids and vessels
C. Sieve tubes
D. Epidermal cells
Answer: Tracheids and vessels of xylem are dead, hollow cells that conduct water and minerals.
A. Water and minerals
B. Hormones only
C. Prepared food from leaves to other parts
D. Carbon dioxide
Answer: Sieve tubes transport prepared food (sugars) from leaves to all parts of the plant.
A. Epidermis
B. Xylem
C. Phloem
D. Cork (phellem)
Answer: In older stems and roots, the epidermis is replaced by cork, a waterproof protective tissue.
A. Squamous epithelium
B. Columnar epithelium
C. Cuboidal epithelium
D. Ciliated epithelium
Answer: Thin squamous epithelium allows rapid exchange of substances such as oxygen and carbon dioxide.
A. They transport oxygen in blood
B. They secrete mucus for lubrication and protection
C. They form the matrix of bone
D. They produce growth hormones
Answer: Goblet cells secrete mucus, which lubricates and protects the lining of organs like the respiratory and digestive tracts.
A. Digestive system
B. Excretory system
C. Circulatory system
D. Muscular system
Answer: The circulatory system transports oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood between lungs and tissues.
