Nucleus To control all the activities of Both

the cell
b. Explain why do plant cells have large vacuoles?

Plant cells have large vacuole to sustain the turgor pressure against the cell wall and stores
water and biochemical substances.______________________________________________

4. Plants labelled below as A and B are pollinated by different modes. Identify the mode
of their pollination as depicted by their physical feature. Also, mention that feature
below.
A B
Flower A Flower B

Mode of
pollination
Do not have colored petals and Colored petals and have fragrance
fragrance.
Deciding Feature
5 Write the correct equation for photosynthesis and respiration

6. a. Label the parts of a hermaphrodite flower and fill in the blanks that follow-
b. Complete the exercise below using the most appropriate word from the word bank given
below. A word may be used more than once-
Carpel Stamen Stigma Anther
Ovary Ovule Pollen Filament Style
The male part of the flower called the___stamen________ consists of the ___anther_________
and ___filament_________. The female part of the flower is called the ____carpel__________
and consists of the ____stigma_________, ____style_________, and _ovary___________. The
male gamete is made in the ______anther__________ and is found inside the
__pollen___________ grain. The female gamete is found in the ___ovary___________ and is
called an ____ovule___________.

7. Oliver investigates germination of seeds. He tries to grow seeds in different conditions.
Look at his results.
Oliver makes the investigation a fair test.
a. He uses the same type of seeds in each beaker. What other condition does he keep the same?
Complete the sentence.
He uses the same ____number________ of seeds in each beaker.
b. One of the beakers is labelled ‘no light’.
Describe how Oliver makes sure that no light reaches the seeds.
Oliver can put the beaker in card board box with a hole or can put in the corner of the dark room.
________________________
8. Give reasons for the following:
a. Plant cells have both a cell wall and a cell membrane, while animal cells only have a cell membrane.
5
_The cell wall in plant cells provides structural support and protection, helping maintain cell shape and
rigidity. It is particularly important for plants because they lack the skeletal system that animals have. The
cell membrane is crucial for both as it regulates what enters and exits the cell. __
b. Nerve cells present in human body are long and thin with branching dendrites.
Nerve cells are long primarily to efficiently transmit electrical signals over long distances within
the body____________________________________________________________________
9. Differentiate the following (write 2 point of differences)
Hypogeal germination Epigeal germination
1. Germination takes place below the 1.Germination takes place above the
ground. ground.
2. remains underground. 2. cotyledons emerges out of the soil.
Plant cell Animal cell
1. The cell wall is present 1. The cell wall is absent
2. Chloroplast is present 2 Chloroplast is absent
3 Plant cells can synthesise nutrients 3 Plant cells cannot synthesise nutrients
10. Write four benefits of eating sprouts.
1. Sprouts provide essential minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
2 Sprouts boost immune system.
3. The high fiber content in sprouts aids digestion and promotes gut health.
4 . Prevents anaemia and improves heart health
11. Choose the correct word for how each of the given seeds are dispersed. Use the words
given below-
6
animal explosion water wind
Water
Explosion
wind
animal
7
12. Identify the specialized cell given below. Write one adaptation and function of each.
It’s a root hair cell
13. Complete the flow chart showing classification of plants.
