The skin, which protects the body, is made of
(i) epidermis squamous epithelial tissue. Since they are arranged in a pattern of layers, the epithelium is called stratified squamous epithelium.
(ii) dermis which lies below epidermis, made up of fibrous tissues and contains hair follicles, sebacious glands, sweat glands, nerve ending, etc.
(iii) the subcutaneous tissue is the deepest layer.
The sebacious glands secrete.a oily material called sebum which spread over the skin.The sweat glands secret sweat which is a dilute salt solution.Due to sebum and sweat dirt, viruses, bacteria, fungal spores, etc. get attached to the skin where they grow and may cause skin diseases.Find out about the common skin diseases and answer the following questions:
(i) Name some common skin diseases.
(ii) What should we do to prevent such skin diseases?
(iii) What is the key message conveyed by this information?

(a)

Sclerenchyma, a plant tissue, makes the plant hard and stiff.The cells of this tissue are dead. Their walls thickened due to deposition of lignin.They are long and narrow. You must have seen husk of a coconut fruit. It is used as coir fibre to make door mats, mattings (to cover floors), ropes, carpets, etc. They are tough, rough and strong yet they are degradable in nature.On the basis of above information answer the following questions:
(i) Name of two plants other than coconut from which we obtain sclerenchymatous fibres for commercial use.
(ii) In which garbage-non biodegradable or biodegradable, you will through husk of coconut after taking out coconut water from the coconut fruits?
(iii) What key messages these information conveys to us.
