Which of the following statements about tissues is correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following statements about tissues is correct?
A. Epidermis is a vascular tissue.
B. Meristematic tissues are permanent tissues with thick walls.
C. Xylem and phloem are examples of simple tissues.
D. Simple permanent tissues are made of one type of cell.
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Simple permanent tissues (parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma) consist of a single cell type. Meristematic tissues are dividing and have thin walls; xylem/phloem are complex; epidermis is dermal.

Question #1
The theory of 'Munch Hypothesis' explains the mechanism of:
A. Guttation
B. Translocation of food in phloem
C. Transpiration pull
D. Ascent of sap

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The Munch hypothesis, or mass flow hypothesis, explains the translocation of organic solutes (primarily sucrose) through the phloem. It proposes that the movement is driven by a turgor pressure gradient between the source (where sugars are loaded into the phloem, increasing osmotic pressure) and the sink (where sugars are unloaded, decreasing osmotic pressure). Water flows from xylem to phloem and back, driving the bulk flow.

Question #2
A person with blood group 'O' is considered a universal donor because:
A. Their plasma lacks antibodies
B. Their RBCs lack A and B antigens
C. Their blood has no Rh factor
D. Their RBCs have both A and B antigens

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Individuals with blood group 'O' have red blood cells that lack both A and B antigens on their surface. Because there are no antigens to react with the recipient's antibodies, their blood can be safely transfused to individuals of any ABO blood group in emergencies. However, their plasma contains both anti-A and anti-B antibodies.

Question #3
Which of the following statements about the human eye is correct?
A. The pupil is an opening that cannot change size.
B. The blind spot contains a high density of cones.
C. The lens changes shape to focus on near or distant objects.
D. The fovea has the highest concentration of rods.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Accommodation involves lens shape change via ciliary muscles. The blind spot lacks photoreceptors; fovea has high cone density; pupil adjusts via iris.
