Solution and Explanation

Identification of Plant and Animal Tissues 

1. Skin

- Tissue Type: Epithelial Tissue (specifically, stratified squamous epithelium)
- Function: Protects underlying tissues, prevents water loss, and acts as a barrier against pathogens.

2. Bark of a Tree

- Tissue Type: Protective Tissue (specifically, cork or phellem)
- Function: Protects the tree from mechanical injury, infection, and water loss.

3. Bone

- Tissue Type: Connective Tissue (specifically, osseous tissue)
- Function: Provides support and shape to the body, protects internal organs, and stores minerals like calcium and phosphorus.

4. Lining of Kidney Tubule

- Tissue Type: Epithelial Tissue (specifically, cuboidal epithelium)
- Function: Absorption and secretion of substances, aiding in urine formation.

5. Vascular Bundle

- Tissue Type: Complex Tissue (contains xylem and phloem)
- Function: Xylem transports water and minerals from roots to leaves; Phloem transports food from leaves to other parts of the plant.

(Street Plan) : A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction.

All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are 200 m apart. There are 5 streets in each direction. Using 1cm = 200 m, draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines. There are many cross- streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North - South direction and another in the East - West direction. Each cross street is referred to in the following manner : If the 2nd street running in the North - South direction and 5th in the East - West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street (2, 5). Using this convention, find: 

(i) how many cross - streets can be referred to as (4, 3). 

(ii) how many cross - streets can be referred to as (3, 4).
