Worked practice questions

A tissue is best defined as

  1. A group of similar cells performing a specific function
  2. A cell organelle inside the nucleus of the cell
  3. A single cell that lives independently of others
  4. A complete organ such as the heart or the lung
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. A group of similar cells performing a specific function

1. The chapter section 3.1 gives the definition explicitly. 2. A tissue is a group of similar cells doing one job. 3. Many tissues together form an organ. 4. So option A is correct. _Source: Selina Concise Biology Class 9, Ch 3 Tissues, Plant and Animal Tissues (Mistral OCR'd PDF), section 3.1_

Which of the following is a plant tissue?

  1. Muscle
  2. Xylem
  3. Bone
  4. Nerve
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Xylem

1. The chapter section 3.2 lists plant tissues including xylem and phloem. 2. Muscle, bone and nerve are animal tissues. 3. Xylem is the water-conducting tissue of vascular plants. 4. So the plant tissue here is xylem. _Source: Selina Concise Biology Class 9, Ch 3 Tissues, Plant and Animal Tissues (Mistral OCR'd PDF), section 3.2_

Striated muscle tissue is also called

  1. Cardiac muscle of the heart wall
  2. Smooth muscle in the stomach walls
  3. Skeletal muscle attached to bones
  4. Connective fibrous tissue of the skin
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Skeletal muscle attached to bones

1. The chapter section on muscle lists three types. 2. Striated muscle shows clear cross-stripes. 3. It attaches to bones and produces voluntary movement. 4. So it is also called skeletal muscle. _Source: Selina Concise Biology Class 9, Ch 3 Tissues, Plant and Animal Tissues (Mistral OCR'd PDF), section on muscle tissue_
