5 Describe any three factors that play significant role in dispersal of seeds with examples?

Ans The three factors that play significant role in dispersal of seeds with examples are 1 Wind:
some seeds are light in weight so they can move to many distant places due to wind eg: seeds of
calotropis,p omgamia(kanji) are light in weight so they are dispersed by wind.2 Human beings: we
eat fruits and throw away their seeds which grow under suitable conditions eg: seeds of mango
,watermelon ,papaya etc are dispersed by human beings.3 Water: some seeds are light in weight
and float in water. This seeds are migrated by water flows from one place to another eg: seeds of
coconut ,basil ,alfalfa are dispersed by water.
5 Explain the arrangement of veins in leaf with diagram?
Ans Each leaf has one main vein passing through the middle axis. Numerous large/small veins
from it spread on the entire leaf. Such arrangement of veins are called veination. Venation is of two
types 1 Reticulate Venation: In this type of venation leaves shows reticulate impression on its
lamina eg: leaves of banayan ,pipal ,mango etc.2 Parallel Venation: In this veins are arranged in
parallel fashion on leaves lamina.eg: leaves of grass ,banana ,bamboo etc.

Mango , neem , rose 2 climbing stem : It is weak and unable to stand erect on its own and takes the
support of any other object and climbs on them .Some plants produce spring like tendrils from
stem and with their help they climb around the support .eg grape ,pea . 3 Creeper stem In some
plants stem spreads on the soil. Such stems are known as creeper stem . From the nodes of the
stem adventitious roots grow and fix in the soil . From the aerial region new plant produces new
leaves . eg mint , brahmi. 4 Underground stem : In this the stem grows under the soil . It possesses
adventitious roots , nodes and buds. Scaly leaves grow on nodes . eg potato , ginger
7 Write a short note on slope ?
Ans . A slope is a simple machine . A plank kept in a slanting position making an angle with the
ground forms a slope . The length of a plank is called the length of the slope . The greater the

Ex:6 Give Reason:

1.The real test of a magnet is not attraction but repulsion because magnet attracts iron fillings.A
magnetic pole also attracts opposite pole. So the property of attraction cannot be used to test
whether a given object is magnetic. On the other hand, magnet repels only similar poles of another
magnet. So the repulsion is the real test of magnetism.
2. An aeroplane flies in the sky and uses petrol as a food(fuel),even though an aeroplane is called
non-living because it cannot grow, It cannot reproduce and it cannot respire.
3.Many plants grow everywhere during monsoon season because seed dispersal occurs due to
many factors. So the seeds are spread over different places on the land. In the monsoon season
sufficient water is available to stuck seeds leading to their germination.
4. The farmer ploughs the field before sowing seeds because by ploughing the field the lower soil
comes up and the upper soil goes down. Hard soil breaks into particles. This increases the space
between soil particles and the soil becomes soft. As a result air passes in the soil easily .
5.Dams are constructed on big rivers because 1)By constructing dams on big rivers the flowing
away of water can be stopped.2)Electricity can be generated by storing water in the dam.3)Water
can be supplied to village or city for drinking purpose and other needs through canals.4)Water
supplied through canals can be used for agriculture.
6. Water is life because1] Our body contains 60%-70% water. 2]Water is needed for biological
processes like digestion, Excretion, blood circulation in our body.3] If the proportion of water
decreases in high proportion or if water is not consume for certain days, one may become
unconscious and may die so it is told water is life.
7. Wheel is the most important simple machine because 1) bicycle, motor, steam engine, etc were
invented after the invention of wheel which has made transportation easy.2) In factories wheels
and gears are widely used.3)By using gears the speed can be increased or decreased.4)Wheels are
used in many machines, vehicles and to move heavy objects.5)The wheel is an important
invention for the progress of mankind.

8. A sharp nail inserts easily in wood rather than a blunt one

because1)A sharp nail is a simple machine of wedge type.2)Due to
its wedge like structure [sharp] it can be easily inserted in wood
with less effort.3)In a blunt nail a wedge like structure is not there
so it cannot be inserted easily.

1. Describe the experiment, with figure to explaining the neutralization reaction taking place
between solutions of dil. Hydrochloric acid (HCI) and sodium hydroxide (NAOH):
Aim:To show the neutralization reaction
taking place between solution of HCL and NAOH.
Apparatus and materials: Test tube holder, solution of NAOH test tube, Diluted HCL, Test tube
stand and solution of phenolphthalein.

Figure:
Procedure: 1. Take a test tube and with the help of a dropper put ten to twelve drops of diluted acid in
the test tube. 2. Now add two to three drops of phenolphthalein in the test tube. 3. Shake the test tube
well. 4. There is no change in colour. 5. Put drops of base in the test tube which contains dilute acid
with the help of a dropper and shake it observe. 6. Go on adding base drop by drop in the acid and
shake it till you see slight change of colour. 7. When the colour changes stop adding base.
Equation : Acid + Base ---- Salt + Water
Observation: When the acid turns pink there is no effect on red and blue litmus paper.
Conclusion: Neutralization takes place when acid reacts with base to form salt and water
2. Describe the experiment, with figure, to prove that for germination of seed air, water and heat are
necessary in definite proportion.
Aim: To prove that for germination of seed air, water and heat are necessary in definite proportion.
Apparatus and Materials: Mung bean, plastic ruler, thread, piece of cloth, germinated mung bean,
beaker,
and water.

Procedure: 1) Take a plastic ruler.2) Tie four to five seeds on the upper, central and lower part of the
ruler and cover them with a cotton cloth.3) Put this ruler into the beaker in a slanting position. 4) Fill
the beaker with water in such a way that lower seeds remain submerged, central seeds remains in
contact with water surface and upper seeds remain above the water surface. 5) put this beaker in the
room. 6) Observe the seeds kept at three places after five to six days.
Observation table:
Conclusion : Air, water and heat are necessary for the germination of seeds.
3. Describe an experiment with diagram to show that light travels in a straight line.
Aim: To prove that light travels in a straight line.
Apparatus: Three card board of same size, candle, and thin rod.

Figure:
Procedure: 1) Take three cardboards of same size.2) keep all three cardboards over one another and
make a hole in the middle. 3) Arrange all three cardboards as shown in the figure. 4) Make sure that
the holes in a straight line by passing a thin rod through them.5) keep a lighted candle on one of the
sides of three cardboards. 6) From the opposite side of the candle try to see the flame of the candle
through the hole of the third cardboard can you see the flame.7) Now move the cardboard slightly
aside and try to see the flame again. Is the flame of the candle visible?
Observation: When the holes of all three cardboards are in a straight line, then the flame of the candle
is not visible.
Conclusion: Light travels in a straight line.
4. Describe the experiment to prove that unlike poles of two magnets attract each other and like poles
repel each other.
Aim:- To prove that unlike poles of two magnets attract each other and like poles repel each other.
Apparatus and material: wooden stand, thread and bar magnet.

Fig:
Procedure:1] Take a bar magnet. 2] Tie a thread on it and suspend it freely. 3] Take another magnet in
your hand. 4] Bring the like poles of both the magnets close to each other and observe. 5] Bring the
unlike poles of the magnet together and observe.
Observation: Northpole-Northpole=Repulsion.
Southpole-Southpole=Repulsion.
Northpole-Southpole=Attraction.
Southpole-Northpole= Attraction.
Conclusion- Like poles repel each other and unlike poles attract each other.
Describe the experiment with fig to prove that plant possesses the characteristics to respire as
other living organisms do.
Aim:- To prove that plant possesses the characteristics to respire as other living organisms do.
Apparatus and material:-- Transparent polythene bag, decanted limewater, plant, thread,
