SECTION E
37. The growth of plants occurs only in certain specific regions. This is because the
dividing tissue, also known as meristematic tissue, is located only at these points.
Depending on the region where they are present, meristematic tissues are classified as
apical, lateral and intercalary. New cells produced by meristem are initially like those of
meristem itself, but as they grow and mature, their characteristics slowly change and
they become differentiated as components of other tissues.

Apical meristem is present at the growing tips of stems and roots and increases the
length of the stem and the root. The girth of the stem or root increases due to lateral
meristem (cambium). Intercalary meristem seen in some plants is located near the node
Cells of meristematic tissue are very active, they have dense cytoplasm, thin cellulose
walls and prominent nuclei. They lack vacuoles.
(1) Which meristem helps in increasing the girth of the plant?
(a) Primary meristem
(b) Apical meristem
(c) Intercalary meristem
(d) Lateral meristem
(2) Lateral meristem is responsible for_____________
(a) Growth of apical portion
(b) Increase in the length
(c) Increasing the girth of stem and root
(d) Growth in parenchyma
(3) The meristem present at the base of the internode is_____________
(a) Lateral meristem
(b) Intercalary Meristem
(c) Apical Meristem
(d) All of the above
(4) What are the characteristic of Meristematic tissue?
38. Sound is produced by vibrating objects. The matter or substance through which
sound is transmitted is called a medium. It can be solid, liquid or gas. Sound moves
through a medium from the point of generation to the listener. When an object vibrates,
it sets the particles of the medium around it vibrating. The particles do not travel all the
way from the vibrating object to the ear. Sound waves are characterized by the motion
of particles in the medium and are called mechanical waves.When a vibrating
objectmoves forward, it pushes and compresses theair in front of it creating a region of
highpressure; this region is called a compression(C).When the vibrating object moves
backwards,it creates a region of low pressure calledrarefaction (R). Hence sound is
longitudinal wave.
(i) Sound waves are
(a) Mechanical waves
(b) Electromagnetic wave
(c) Transverse waves
(d) None of these
(ii) Sound travel in medium with
(a) Compression and rare fraction
(b) Crest and trough
(c) Both can be possible
(d) None of these
(iii) Compression is the region of
(a) High pressure
(b) Low pressure
(c) Medium pressure
(d) None of these
(iv) What is sound and how is it produced?
39. Work done by force acting on an object is equal to the magnitude of the force
multiplied by the distance moved in the direction of the force. Work has only magnitude
and no direction. Work done is negative when the force acts opposite to the direction of
displacement. Work done is positive when the force is in the direction of
displacement.The unit of work is newton-metre (N m)or joule (J).
(i) Work done is
(a) Scalar quantity
(b) Vector quantity
(c) Tensor quantity
(d) None of these
(ii) When force acts against the direction of displacement then work done will be
(a) positive
(b) negative
(c) both a and b can possible
(d) None of these
(iii) SI unit of work is
(a) Joule(J)
(b) Newton meter(N-m)
(c) both a and b
(d) None of these
(iv) Define 1J of work.
