  Chapter 12 Reproduction In Plants   1.   Describe the different methods of asexual reproduction. Give examples. ANSWER: The various modes of asexual reproduction in plants are as follows: (i) Vegetative propagation:  It is the ability of a plant to produce new plants from roots, stems, leaves, and buds. Vegetative propagation is divided into two types. • Natural vegetative propagation: This type of vegetative propagation occurs easily in nature and involves simple vegetative parts. Potato plant sprouting from an eye is a common example. • Artificial vegetative propagation: This type of vegetative propagation is performed manually and generally occurs in laboratory conditions. The formation of a complete plant from a stem cutting of rose is a common example of this method. (ii)  Budding: It involves the formation of a new individual from a bulb-like projection called a bud .  The bud grows and gets detached from the parent to form a new individual. It is commonly obs

  Chapter 12  Electricity and Circuits 1. What is the purpose of using an electric switch? Name some electrical gadgets that have switches built into them. Ans:  Electric switch is used to make electric circuit open or closed for a particular appliance and hence with the help of a switch we can use an appliance according 2. Would the bulb glow after completing the circuit shown in Fig. 12.9 if instead of safety pin we use an eraser? Ans:  No, since eraser is an insulator so it does not allow the current to pass. Hence the bulb will not glow. 3. Using the “conduction tester” on an object it was found that the bulb begins to glow. Is that object a conductor or an insulator? Explain. Ans:  Yes, if the object is good conductor of electricity then current will pass through conduction tester and the bulb will glow. Hence the object will be a conductor of electricity. 4. Why should an electrician use rubber gloves while repairing an electric switch at your home? Explain. Ans:  Our

  Chapter 11 Light Shadows and Reflection   1.    In a completely dark room, if you hold up a mirror in front of you, will you see a reflection of yourself in the mirror? Ans:  No, in a completely dark room no image will be formed because there is no light in the room so no reflection of light takes place and no image will be formed. 2.   Whether the moon is luminous or non-luminous body? Ans:  Moon is non-luminous body. 3.   What is umbra? Ans:  Umbra is the dark region behind object facing light which does not receive light at all. 4.   How does a light ray travel? Ans:  Light ray travels in a straight line. 5.   Give one natural source of light.  Ans:  Sun is a natural source of light. 6.   What is shadow?  Ans:  Shadow is the dark space behind an opaque object where light does not reach. 7.   What is penumbra? Ans:  The less darker shadow formed penumbra.on the periphery of dark shadow is called penumbra. 8.    State difference between a luminous and a no

  Chapter 11 Transportation in Animals and Plants   1.      Why is transport of materials necessary in a plant or an animal? Explain. Ans .Transport of materials is necessary for plants or animals because due to it the nutrients and oxygen are made available to all the parts of the body. If the transport of necessary nutrients and oxygen does not take place in the body, the body will not be able to survive. 2.      What will happen if there are no platelets in the blood? Ans .The blood platelets are responsible for the clotting of the blood. When some injury occurs blood starts flowing. But it clots on its own. If there are no platelets, the blood will not be able to clot and keep on flowing. Huge loss of blood ultimately causes death. 3.      What are stomata? Give two junctions of stomata. Ans .There are small openings on the lower surface of the leaves. These pores are called stomata. These openings are surrounded with guard cells. Functions of stomata: 1. It helps in
