Seeds And Seeds

1.       What things are soaked before cooking in your house? Why? .
Ans. Following things are soaked before cooking:
Chana, moong, dry pea, rajma, soyabean, pulses, rice, etc.
These things become soft after soaking. This makes it easier to grind them and to cook them. This helps in saying time and energy. .

2.     What things do you eat after sprouting? How are they sprouted? How much time does it take?
Ans. We eat chana, moong, etc. after sprouting. They Eire soaked in water overnight. Then the water is drained out and they are kept in a basket or suspended in a cloth so that they can get air.
Chana takes about 36-48 hours to sprout, while moong takes about 24-36 hours.

3.     Think what would happen, if seeds did not spread and remained at one place only?
Ans. If seeds would not spread and would remain at one place only, there can be many problems for those seeds. All the seeds would fall near the parent tree. This will prevent those seeds from getting enough sunlight, air and water. As
a result, most of the seeds would fail to germinate. New saplings, growing under a tree would not grow properly.

4.    Make a list of the different ways by which seeds are spread.
Ans. Seeds are spread by following agents: –
(а) Animals (6) Humans (c)Air (d) Water.

5.     What all was grown in India long ago? Were mangoes and bananas grown here? What came from other countries? Imagine food without potatoes or tomatoes!
Ans. In India, many crops like tea, mango, orange, radish, methi, spinach, etc. were grown long ago. Yes, mangoes and bananas were grown here.
Tomato and potatoes, chillies, coffee, etc. have come from other countries. We cannot imagine a proper vegetable curiy without tomato. Potato is used in most of the dishes. Such dishes would not be possible without potatoes and tomatoes.

6.    How do seeds spread to far off places? Write in your own words.
Ans. (a) Seeds are spread by birds, animals, air and water. Many animals eat a fruit
and throw the seeds. Thus these animals help in spreading seeds.
(b) Some seeds stick to the fur of animals and thus are transported to other places.
(c) Some seeds have thin hairs and are lightweight. These seeds float on air and travel to other places.
(d) Some seeds float on water and thus travel to far off places.

  LESSON – 9 WATER AS A RESOURCE   1.     State of water is interchangeable. How? Water exist in e states, ice, water, and water vapour. All the three states are interchangeable. Ice can be changed into water by melting. Water can be changed into water vapour by evaporation. Water vapour can be brought back to water by condensation. water can also be changed in to ice by freezing.   2.     What is water cycle? Explain it with labelled diagram. The cycle that involves the change of water into water vapour and then into water again in nature is called the water cycle. It is the process by which water circulates between the sky and the earth in a continuous cycle.       ICE Heating     Water heating     Water vapour     Cooling Cooling     3.     What do you mean by purification of water?

  LESSON – 10 SUN AS A RESOURCE I.                   DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN:- 1.     Renewable and non-renewable source of energy Sources of energy that can be used again and again are called renewable source of energy. Natural resources such as coal, petroleum and natural gas form naturally beneath the earth very slowly. The supplies of all these sources are limited and once consumed cannot be made easily again. These are called non-renewable sources of energy.   2.     Solar energy and wind energy. The energy we get from the sun is called solar energy. We get energy from the sun mainly in the form of heat and light. Solar energy captured by solar panels, wind energy is used in windmills to grind gains and generate electricity.     II ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:-   1.     Why is sun said to be the main source of energy? The sun is the major source of energy on the earth. We get energy from the sun mainly in the form of heat and light. The energy we g
