(c) In photosynthesis solar energy is captured by the pigment called ________________

(d) During photosynthesis plants take in ________________ and release ________________ .

Ans. (a) autotrophs (b) starch (c) chlorophyll (d) carbon dioxide, oxygen

Q.7. Name the following:

(i) A parasitic plant with yellow, slender and tubular stem.

(ii) A plant that has both autotrophic and heterotrophic mode of nutrition.

(iii) The pores through which leaves exchange gases.

Ans. (i) cuscuta (ii) Insectivorous plant (iii) Stomata

Q.10. Mark T’ if the statement is true and ‘F’ if it is false:

(i) Carbon dioxide is released during photosynthesis. (T/F)

(ii) Plants which synthesise their food themselves are called saprotrophs. (T/F)

(iii) The product of photosynthesis is not a protein. (T/F)

(iv) Solar energy is converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis. (T/F)

Ans. (a) F (ii) F (iii) T (iu) T

Q.11.Choose the correct option from the following.

Which part of the plant takes in carbon dioxide from the air for photosynthesis?

(i) Root hair (ii) Stomata (iii) Leaf veins (iv) Sepals

Ans. (ii) Stomata

Q.12. Choose the correct option from the following:

Plants take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere mainly through their:

Basic principals of physics

<!-- End Google Tag Manager -- Basic  principals of physics   We start from the following five basic principles to construct all other physical laws and equations. These five basic principles are: (1) Constituent principle: the basic constituents of matter are various kinds of identical particles. This can also be called locality principle; (2) Causality principle: the future state depends only on the present state; (3) Covariance principle: the physics should be invariant under an arbitrary coordinate transformation; (4) Invariance or Symmetry principle: the spacetime is homogeneous; (5) Equi-probability principle: all the states in an isolated system are expected to be occupied with equal probability. These five basic principles can be considered as physical common senses. It is very natural to have these basic principles. More important is that these five basic principles are consistent with one another. From these five principles, we derive a vast set of equations w...
