1. How do water plants protect themselves from decay under water?
In all water plants, the plant body is covered with a gum or jelly like substance called
mucilage. This mucilage protects the plant body from decay under water.
2. How do desert plants reduce loss of water from their body?
In desert plants, the stem and leaves are modified into fleshy, scale and spiny
structures to reduce the loss of water from the surface of the plant body.
3. Give any three adaptations of plants life in desert.
a) The stem becomes flat and green to take up the function of leaves.
b) The stem or the leaves are covered with spines, scales or thick cuticle to reduce
transpiration.
c) The roots grow deep into the soil to take in sub-soil water.
d) The plants are woody or succulent.
4. Give a note on arboreal plants with examples.
a) The arboreal plants are known for their beautiful spikes of flowers.
b) They grow on branches of trees where the climate is warm and humid.
c) They possess two kinds of roots namely clinging roots and hanging roots.
d) The clinging roots attach the plant to the branches of the trees.
e) The hanging roots remain in air to absorb moisture from the air.
f) Examples Mosses and Lichens.
5. Why the plants are dry in hilly regions, though they get enough rainfall?
3|Page
The hill plants get heavy rain but water does not remain near their roots, because of
the slope. So the rain water flows into rivers and stream leaving behind the dry
conditions.
6. Give a note on trees in hilly regions with examples.
a) Plants growing in hills are very different from those growing in plains.
b) Most hills are covered with forests where lofty tree with needle-like leaves called
conifers are common.

10. What are the functions of veins in a leaf blade?

Leaf blade has a network of veins in it which help the leaf to receive water from the
root through the stem. Veins also help the flow of food made in the leaf to the storage
organs.
11. What is the function of stomata present on green leaves?
The pores found on the lower surface of the leaf are called stomata. During daytime
the leaves take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen and water vapour through
these stomata.
12. Explain the process of photosynthesis.
a) The process of making food in a green leaf in presence of sunlight is called
photosynthesis.
b) The green substance in the leaves called the chlorophyll absorbs solar energy
from sunlight and makes it available for combination with water and carbon
dioxide for making food.
c) This result in the formation of glucose which immediately changes into starch.
d) In this process, oxygen is given out.

6. Why should we not cover our face while sleeping?
To breathe in fresh air, we should not cover face while sleeping.
7. Explain water cycle.
On high hills, clouds cool to form ice, which comes down as snow. High mountain
peaks are covered with snow. This snow melts all the year round and water flows
into rivers. The rivers flow into the sea. Water on land and in the sea evaporates to
form clouds. This cycle goes on and on. This is called water cycle.
8. What is the use of a weather-vane?
A weather-vane helps to learn about the direction of the wind.
9. Why do ponds and wells dry during summer?
Since the water from ponds and wells evaporate all the time and goes into the air
due to heat, ponds and wells dry during summer.
10. How would you show that air has water vapour in it?
Keep some ice in a glass. Wipe the glass dry from outside. After sometime, outside
the glass becomes foggy and some water drops start trickling down the glass. This
water drops shows that air around us have water vapour which on cooling changes
into water drops.

Answer
Name the Following.
1. Greenhouse effect
3. Fossil fuels
5. Oxygen and nitrous oxide
2. CFC
4. Leather belts
6. Plastic and polythene bags

1. Explain the changes in temperature with altitude of Earths atmosphere.
As you move upward from the surface of Earth, the temperature cools for several kilometers
before it reverse and begins to increase (in the stratosphere). This increase ultimately reverses
into another decline in temperature, which in turn changes into an increase in temperature at
high altitude. The net effect is that the temperature oscillates back and forth over a fairly
narrow range of values.
2. Why there is so little carbon dioxide and more oxygen in our atmosphere?
Even though carbon dioxide is the most abundant gas released in volcanic processes, it is not
the most abundant gas in our atmosphere because it slowly dissolves in the liquid water on
Earth and ultimately forms carbonate rocks. The existence of free oxygen in our atmosphere
is purely a result of biological activity, specifically photosynthesis.
3. Give the characteristics of four layers of Earths atmosphere.
From the surface upward, the layers in Earths atmosphere are: troposphere (distinguished by
the water cycle, which controls our weather); stratosphere (distinguished by the ozone layer);
mesosphere (the top of the greenhouse where CO2 radiates energy to space); and
thermosphere (so thin it is easily heated by sunlight).
4. What controls the temperature of Earths atmosphere?
The temperature of any object is determined by the balance of input energy and emitted
energy. The temperature of the object rises or falls until the object is able to radiate as much
energy as it receives.
5. What are the major constituents of Earths atmosphere?
Our atmosphere is composed primarily of nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (22%).
