Total Questions : 100 | Page 4 of 10 pages
Question 31. The food prepared in the leaves is stored as _________.
  1.    starch  
  2.    fats   
  3.    cellulose   
  4.    acids
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> starch  
:
A
Plants prepare food by a process calledphotosynthesis. The food synthesised is a carbohydrate called glucose.It is transported to other parts of the plant asstarchfor storage and utilization.
Question 32. Which of the following are plants tend to grow with a support structure?
  1.    Herbs
  2.    Climbers
  3.    Trees
  4.    Shrubs
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Climbers
:
B
Plants with weak stems that take support on neighboring structures and climb up over them are called as climbers. Example: Grape vine.
Creepers, like climbers, have a weak stem too but they usually spread on the ground. Example: Pumpkin.
Question 33. The broad part of a leaf is called ______ .
  1.    petiole
  2.    vein
  3.    lamina
  4.    midrib
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> lamina
:
C
Lamina is thebroad part of the leaf. It has veins and veinlets arranged either in a parallel manner or reticulate manner.
Important processes like photosynthesis, respiration occur here.
Question 34. Which of the following has a main central root?
  1.    Tap root
  2.    Fibrous root
  3.    Prop root
  4.    Flat root
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Tap root
:
A
Tap roots are the root systems found in dicotyledonous plants. They have a main central root that runs deep into the soil. The main root has several lateral roots that are smaller in size. Eg: carrot.
In contrast, fibrous roots have no main central roots. It has a bunch of smaller roots which do not run deep into the soil. Grasses have fibrous roots.
Which Of The Following Has A Main Central Root?
Question 35. The process by which food is prepared by the leaves is known as ________ .
  1.    respiration
  2.    transpiration
  3.    photosynthesis
  4.    regeneration
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> photosynthesis
:
C
Photosynthesis is the process by which food is prepared in the leaves using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight. The leaves have chlorophyll, pigments which help in absorbing sunlight.
The Process By Which Food Is Prepared By The leaves Is Know...
Question 36. The plants eventually die when kept in a dark room. This shows the importance of ______.
  1.    sunlight
  2.    food
  3.    water
  4.    air
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> sunlight
:
A
Sunlight is required for the plants to perform photosynthesis. Plants produce food from carbon dioxide and water only in the presence of sunlight. So, if kept in dark, the plants will not be able to perform photosynthesis and will eventually die.
Question 37. The lines that are seen on the leaves are known as _____ .
  1.    chlorophyll
  2.    petiole
  3.    veins
  4.    axil
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> veins
:
C
Veins are the lines that can be seen on the lamina of the leaf.
The Lines That Are Seen On The Leaves Are Known As _____ .

Petiole is the stalk that attaches theleafblade to the stem
Chlorophyll is the green colour pigment presentin the leaf and plays a vital role in the photosynthesis process.
Question 38. Which part of the plant is this?
Which Part Of The Plant Is This?
  1.    Stem
  2.    Root
  3.    Leaf
  4.    Flower
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Leaf
:
C
The part of the plant shown in the picture is called leaf.
The leaf is the part primarily responsible for making food for the plant. Plants are capable of making their own food through the process known as photosynthesis.
Question 39. Plants with green and tender stems are called _______ .
  1.    herbs
  2.    climbers
  3.    creepers
  4.    trees
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> herbs
:
A
Plants with green and tender stems are called herbs.
Climbers have very weak stem, they take support of nearby structures and climb up.
Creepers, like climbers, have weak stem but they spread on the ground.
Trees are tall and they have hard and thick stem.
Question 40. The male reproductive part of a flower is known as _______ .
  1.    petals   
  2.    sepals  
  3.    stamen  
  4.    pistil 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> stamen  
:
C
In many plants, flowers are referred to asthe reproductive parts. The flowers consists ofmale reproductive structures called stamens and a female reproductive structure called pistil.Stamen consists of two parts-anther and filament. Pistil consists ofthree parts- stigma, style and ovary.
