    NOTES

    I. KEY TERMS
    Lamina,Midrib,Parallel venation,tendrils ,transpiration, ,stamen ,pistil,anther,stigma ,style ,ovary
    Reticulate venation , Photosynthesis
    II. DEFINE THE FOLLOWING
    1. Photosynthesis - The process by which plants use carbon dioxide and water to prepare food in
    the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.
    2. Pollination - The transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of flower. 3.
    Venation - The pattern of arrangement of veins on the leaf lamina.

    III. ANSWER THE FOLLOWING;


    1. Can the stem of a plant be compared with a street with two way traffic? Justify your answer
    Ans- Yes.The stem of a plant can be compared to two-way traffic because, in the stem, there are two
    types of tubes , one that carries water and minerals from roots to the leaves and other parts (xylem
    tissue) and the other that carry food from leaves to other parts of the plant like roots. (Phloem tissue)
    2. How are leaf venation and types of roots in a plant related?
    Ans: Plants having the reticulate venation have tap roots while plants having the leaves with
    parallel venation have fibrous roots.
    3.Transpiration amounts to loss of water in plants.Yet it is a useful process,both for the plant
    and environment .Justify
    Ans- Transpiration helps in the transportation of substances dissolved in water and also helps to
    maintain temperature by providing a cooling effect.
    IV.Case Based Question
    8. Rakesh while walking in his terrace garden found many types of wasp wandering around the
    flowers.He thought that these insects are spoiling his flower and immediately took out the Insect
    collecting net to get rid of them.On seeing this Rakesh’s elder brother stopped him From doing this
    he said that these wasps are flower’s friends.

    a. What do these wasps get from?


    b.Why did Rhakul’s elder brother call these wasps ‘flower’s friend’?
    c.What do you mean by pollination ?
    Ans:
    (a) Wasps get pollen and nectar from the flowers.
    (b) Wasps help in transfer of pollen grains from anther to stigma. Thus, it helps in pollination. (c)
    Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from anther to the stigma of a flower. V. HOT
    QUESTION
    1.Do you think that the creeping habit in a pumpkin is desirable? Why? What will happen if Is
    it a climber?
    Ans- The creeping habit in pumpkin is desirable. Because of weak stems and huge fruit, it is
    not possible for pumpkins to grow on trees. The big fruit cannot be supported when it climbs.
    Therefore, pumpkin is always a creeper and it is desirable for better growth of the fruit. VI. ASSET
    QUESTIONS
    1. Ginger shows brown scales like leaves on it. The part of ginger that we use in cooking is
    actually a ________________.
    a. Stem b. Root c. Leaf d. Fruit
    Ans-(a) Stem
    2. Assertion (A):The parts of a typical flower are sepals and petals only.
    Reason (R): The parts of stamen are filament and anther.
    a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
    b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A. c) A is true
    but R is false.
    d) A is false but R is true.
    Ans-D
    solution:
    A is false, R is true. [Note: The parts of a typical flower are sepals, petals, stamen and
    pistil.]
    3. A student took a healthy, well-watered plant and enclosed a leafy branch of it in a
    polythene bag. After a few hours, the student observed some water drops on the inner
    side of the polythene bag. What likely can be concluded from this activity?

    a) Leaves help in transpiration. b)


    Leaves help in photosynthesis. c) Leaves help in respiration d) Leaves help in the
    transportation of food. Ans- a) Leaves help in transpiration.
