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 the transpiration of water, i.e., the loss of excess water from the plant.
2. Loss of water from the stomata creates an upward pull, i.e., suction pull which helps in absorption of water from the roots.
3. They help in exchange of gases.

4.     Does transpiration serve any useful function in plants? Explain.
Ans.(i) It helps to enhance the absorption of water and dissolved minerals by creation of a suction pull.
(ii) It helps in getting rid of the excess water.
(iii) It helps in transport of water and minerals to leaves and leaves use the water for photosynthesis. ‘
(iv)It produces a cooling effect on the plant

5.     What are the components of blood?
Ans.There are four components of blood:
(i) Plasma is a liquid part of blood which is yellowish in colour and contain 90% water. It contains food, enzymes, wastes and proteins etc
(ii) Red blood cells are disc shaped cells containing red coloured pigment called haemoglobin in it. Haemoglobin helps in transportation of oxygen.
(iii) White blood cells are the fighting cells which protect us against bacteria and foreign materials causing infections.
(iv) Platelets help in clotting of the blood

6.     Why is blood needed by all the parts of a body?
Ans. Blood is needed by all the parts because it contains the digested food and oxygen in it. It supplies the oxygen and digested food to various parts of the body to provide essential energy to them which helps the body to perform various functions

7.     What makes the blood look red?
Ans. A red pigment called haemoglobin gives the blood its red colour. This pigment helps in carrying oxygen to various parts of the body by blood

8.     Describe the function of the heart.
Ans. The right auricle and ventricle receive blood with carbon dioxide from all parts of the body. The collected blood is then pumped to the lungs for the purification. In lungs, the exchange of gases takes place and purified blood is sent back to left auricle. It pumps it to the left ventricle, which in turn pumps off the purified blood to all parts of body through arteries

9.     Why is it necessary to excrete waste products?
Ans. Certain waste and toxic products are formed during functioning of body cells. The waste products like urea etc. are toxic. When these toxic materials are not removed from the body, they get mixed with blood and can damage the cells of body. It is necessary to remove such poisonous waste materials from our body.

10. Q.13.Draw a diagram of the human excretory system and label the various parts.
Ans.

  LESSON – 4 INSECTS   QUESTIONS & ANSWERS :-   1.   What are insects? Name some common insects found in our surroundings. Insects are small creatures that are found almost everywhere. They are different in size, colour and features. Some common insects like ants, bees, butterflies, beetles, mosquitoes, flies, honeybees and grasshoppers can be seen in our surroundings.   2.   What are the main parts of an insect’s body? Draw a labelled diagram of an insect’s body. An insect’s body is divided into three main parts – head, thorax and abdomen. 3.   What do you mean by life cycle? Draw a labelled diagram of the life cycle of a butterfly. Life cycle is the series of changes that happen to a living creature over the course of its lifetime.   4.   Name three insects which are useful to us and how? There are some insects which are very useful to us. a.   Honeybees give us honey and beeswax. Candles, soaps and cr...

  LESSON - 5 PLANTS- PARTS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS   1.     What are the two main parts of a plant? A plant is divided into two main parts- the shoot and the root. The part of the plant which is above the soil is called the shoot. The part of the plant which remains under the soil is called the root.   2.     What are the main functions of a root? a.      Roots fix plants firmly in the soil. b.     They help the plants to stand straight c.      They hold the soil and prevent it from being washed away by water or wind. d.     They take in water and minerals from the soil and pass them, to the stem. e.     Some roots store food.   3.     What are the main functions of leaves? Why are they called the kitchen of the plant? Leaves prepare and store food for the plant, gives out the oxygen during the process of photosynth...

Chapter 1 The Earth in the Solar System I.              Answer the following questions briefly. 1.      How does a planet differ from a star?   Differences between a planet and a star: PLANET STAR A planet does not have its own light and heat. It derives its light from a star A star possesses its own heat and light. A planet is usually smaller than stars. Stars are very huge objects compared to a planet in general. 2.     What is meant by the ‘Solar System’? The term Solar System refers to the “family” of the Sun. The Sun is a star around which eight planets, among other celestial objects, revolve in orbits. This whole system of bodies is called the Solar System. The Sun is the “head” of this system.   3.     Name all the planets according to their distance from the sun. The list...
