The type of tissue that covers body surfaces and lines cavities is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The type of tissue that covers body surfaces and lines cavities is:
A. Epithelial tissue
B. Connective tissue
C. Muscle tissue
D. Nervous tissue
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Epithelial tissue forms sheets covering external surfaces (skin) and lining internal organs and cavities. It functions in protection, absorption, secretion, and sensation. Connective tissue supports and binds, muscle contracts, nervous transmits impulses. Epithelial cells are tightly packed with little extracellular matrix.

Question #1
Which of the following gases is mainly responsible for the greenhouse effect?
A. Oxygen
B. Nitrogen
C. Carbon dioxide
D. Hydrogen

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is the primary greenhouse gas, along with methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O), water vapor, and CFCs. These trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change. CO₂ levels have risen due to fossil fuel burning and deforestation. The greenhouse effect is natural and essential, but enhanced levels cause global temperature rise.

The pigment that gives brown algae their color is:
A. Phycocyanin
B. Fucoxanthin
C. Chlorophyll b
D. Phycoerythrin

Correct Answer: Option B

Question #3
Consider statements about human blood: 1. Red blood cells lack a nucleus at maturity. 2. Platelets are essential for blood clotting. 3. Plasma constitutes about 45% of blood volume. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 2 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Mature mammalian red blood cells (erythrocytes) are enucleated to maximize space for hemoglobin. Platelets (thrombocytes) are cell fragments crucial for the blood coagulation cascade. Blood plasma, the liquid component, constitutes about 55% of total blood volume, while the formed elements (RBCs, WBCs, platelets) make up the remaining 45%. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
