Question 61.


Rhizobium bacteria help in nitrogen fixation, but they cannot make their own food.


  1.     True
  2.     False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

Rhizobium cannot make its own food. It lives in the roots of peas, moong, beans and other legumes. It obtains its nutrients from these plants and also gets shelter. In return, they help the plant to fix atmospheric nitrogen.


Question 62.


Complete the following equation representing photosynthesis.


Carbon dioxide  +  Water  Sunlight and Chlorophyll−−−−−−−−−−−−−−  ________ + ________


  1.     Proteins, Carbon
  2.     Carbohydrates, Proteins
  3.     Carbohydrates, Oxygen
  4.     Carbon, Oxygen
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Carbohydrates, Oxygen
:
C

Green plants perform photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. This process requires carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose. This simple sugar is a carbohydrate. Oxygen is released as a byproduct during this process.
Complete The Following Equation Representing Photosynthesis....


Question 63.


Carbohydrates are composed of ____ .


  1.     carbon and hydrogen
  2.     carbon and oxygen
  3.     hydrogen and oxygen
  4.     carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
:
D

Carbohydrates are made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. These atoms are arranged together in an specific order to form carbohydrates.


Question 64.


The components of food that are necessary for our survival and growth are called


  1.     food sources
  2.     nutrients
  3.     cells
  4.     elements
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> nutrients
:
B
Carbohydrates, proteins, fats are the major components of food. Vitamins and minerals are also essential components of food. These components are necessary for our survival and growth and they are called nutrients.
Question 65.


Identify the green part of the cactus given in the image below.
Identify The Green Part Of The Cactus Given In The Image Bel...


  1.     Leaf
  2.     Stem
  3.     Root
  4.     Flower
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Stem
:
B
The green part shown in the above picture is the stem of the cactus plant. It is green in colour and is involved in photosynthesis. The stem is fleshy and stores water. The leaves are modified to spines to prevent water loss.
Question 66.


____ are called the food factories of the plants.


  1.     Roots
  2.     Leaves
  3.     Fruits
  4.     Flowers
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Leaves
:
B

Green plants are called producers or autotrophs as they make their own food through the process of photosynthesis. Leaves prepare food through this process. So, they are called the food factories or the kitchen of the plants. 


Question 67.


Directly or indirectly, all the animals, including humans, depend on ___ for food.


  1.     plants
  2.     algae
  3.     fungi
  4.     themselves
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> plants
:
A
Humans and animals are directly or indirectly dependent on plants for food. Because plants can make their own food through the process of photosynthesis.
Question 68.


Name a bacterium responsible for fixing atmospheric nitrogen. [1 MARK]
 


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> plants
:

Rhizobium bacteria thriving in the root nodules of leguminous plants are capable of nitrogen fixation. They are able to convert atmospheric nitrogen to the form usable by plants. 


Question 69.


"All the plants in the world are autotrophs." 
Is this statement true or false? Explain your answer.
  [2 MARKS]
 


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> plants
:

Statement: 1 Mark
Explanation: 1 Mark
This statement is false.
Autotrophs only account for the green plants in the world. Since there are so many non-green plants in the world, it would be wrong to say that all plants are autotrophs. 
Many plants like the pitcher plant and Venus flytrap are partly autotrophic and partly heterotrophic. Since they grow in nitrogen-deficient soil they trap and digest insects to meet their nitrogen requirements. Some plants alike Cuscuta are completely non-green and are parasitic in nature.

 


Question 70.


Distinguish between a parasite and a saprophyte. Give examples for each. [3 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> plants
:
Differences: 1 Mark each
Examples: 1 Mark
 
S.No 
Parasites

1.
They grow on other
organisms and derive         their nutrients from
them.
They obtain their
nutrition from
dead and decaying
organic matter.
 
 
 
2. 
They take readymade
food from the host
plant.
They release digestive enzymes
into the surroundings and absorb the
digested food.
 
 
 
Examples     
Cuscuta, orchids
Fungi, some bacteria
