Question 6

Name the kind of tissue that

  1. Carries oxygen around your body

  2. Brings about movement in animals

  3. Transports food to different parts of a plant

  4. Transports water in plants

  5. Supports an animal's body

  6. Binds different tissues together

  7. Conducts messages from one part of the body to another

  8. is found on the surface of roots, stems and leaves.

  9. is composed of elongated cells, that are thick at the corners.

  10. is composed of dead cells, that provides strength to the plant parts.

  11. is richly located in the brain and spinal cord.

  12. is striated and branched.

Answer

  1. Carries oxygen around your body — Fluid connective tissue

  2. Brings about movement in animals — Muscular tissue

  3. Transports food to different parts of a plant — Phloem

  4. Transports water in plants — Xylem

  5. Supports an animal's body — Supportive connective tissue

  6. Binds different tissues together — Fibrous connective tissue

  7. Conducts messages from one part of the body to another — Nervous tissue

  8. is found on the surface of roots, stems and leaves — Protective Tissue

  9. is composed of elongated cells, that are thick at the corners — Collenchyma

  10. is composed of dead cells, that provides strength to the plant parts — Sclerenchyma

  11. is richly located in the brain and spinal cord — Nervous tissue

  12. is striated and branched — Cardiac muscular tissue

Chapter 4: Tissue — ICSE Class VII Biology Notes

Complete ICSE Class VII Biology notes on Tissue covering meristematic and permanent plant tissues (parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma, xylem, phloem) and four animal tissue types with examples and diagrams.

Key Concepts and Topics

Topics covered: Meristematic tissue, Permanent tissue, Animal tissues, Xylem, Phloem

Weightage: Approximately 8 marks in the exam

Important Points to Remember

  • Tissue: group of similar cells performing specific function
  • Meristematic tissue: actively dividing cells at growth points
  • Simple permanent: parenchyma (storage), collenchyma (flexibility), sclerenchyma (strength)
  • Complex permanent: xylem (water up) and phloem (food both ways)
  • Four animal tissues: epithelial, connective, muscular, nervous
  • Three muscle types: skeletal, smooth, cardiac
  • Blood is a connective tissue with liquid matrix

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a tissue?

A: A tissue is a group of similar cells that perform a specific function together.

Q: What is the difference between xylem and phloem?

A: Xylem transports water upward and is made of dead cells. Phloem transports food in both directions and is made of living cells.

Q: Why is blood called a connective tissue?

A: Because it connects all body parts by transporting nutrients, oxygen, and waste, even though its matrix (plasma) is liquid.

Exam Preparation Tips

  • Focus on understanding concepts rather than rote memorization
  • Practice drawing and labelling diagrams regularly
  • Use comparison tables for topics that require differentiation
  • Solve previous year questions and practice papers
  • Review the chapter notes provided by Bright Tutorials for comprehensive coverage
