37. Read the passage and answer the questions :

Atom can be described as in building houses the building blocks of all matter are atoms. A
molecule is in general a group of two or more atoms that are chemically bonded together, that
is, tightly held together by attractive forces. A molecule can be defined as the smallest particle
of an element or a compound that is capable of independent existence and shows all the
properties of that substance. Atoms of the same element or of different elements can join
together to form a molecule. The number of atoms constituting a molecule is known as its
atomicity. Metals and some other elements, such as carbon, do not have a simple structure but
consist of a very large and indefinite number of atoms bonded together.

(a) Name any two fundamental particles present in atoms.


(b) Which particles constitute the nucleus of an atom?

38. A few layers of cells beneath the epidermis are generally simple permanent tissue.
Parenchyma is the most common simple permanent tissue. It consists of relatively
unspecialized cells with thin cell walls. They are living cells. Collenchyma allows bending of
various parts of the plant-like tendrils and stems of climbers without breaking.
Sclerenchyma tissue makes the plant hard and stiff. We have seen the husk of a coconut. It
is made of sclerenchymatous tissue. They are long and narrow as the walls are thickened
due to lignin. This tissue is present in stems, around vascular bundles, in the veins of leaves
and in the hard covering of seeds and nuts.

a. The flexibility in plants is due to


(a) collenchyma
(b) parenchyma
(c) chlorenchyma
(d) aerenchyma
