6. Complete the following.

B. Short Answer Questions


a. Name the different parts of a leaf.
Ans. The different parts of a leaf are:
stalk, leaf-blade, midrib and veins.
b. Give two examples of food chain.
Ans. i. Grass Rabbit Kite
ii. Seeds / Grains Rat Eagle
c. What does a food chain show?
Ans. A food chain shows us how living things depend on one another for food.
d. Define the following.
i. Photosynthesis - Photosynthesis is a process by which green leaves make
food by using water and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight.
ii. Chlorophyll - Chlorophyll is the green substance in leaves that help them in
the process of photosynthesis.
iii. Producers - Since plants produce food in their green leaves, they are
therefore known as producers.

2. Long Answer Questions


a. Write in short how plants use their food.
Ans. Plants use the prepared food (glucose) in the following ways.
To grow: The prepared food is used to grow and to produce flowers, fruits and more
leaves.
To repair: The prepared food is also used to repair itself. When flowers and leaves
are broken off by wind or when we pluck them, the plant uses the energy produced
by the food to repair itself.
To store: The extra food not used by the plant is stored as starch in different parts of
the plant like leaves, fruits, stem and roots. We eat them as vegetables and fruits.
b. Draw a well-labelled diagram of photosynthesis.
Ans. Do it yourself. See page no. 9 for the diagram.

c. Briefly describe the different parts of a leaf using a well- labelled diagram
Ans.

Most leaves have three parts: stalk, leaf-blade and veins.


Leaf blade :- It is the flat part of the leaf.
Stalk :- It helps a leaf to attach to the stem.
Veins :- Fine lines seen on the leaf-blade. The thick vein in the middle is called the
midrib.

There are stomata on the underside of a leaf. These are small openings. They allow
exchange of gases through the leaves. They alos help to remove water vapours
from the leaves.
d. Show using an activity that sunlight is important for the photosynthesis.
Ans.

Take two plants of the same kind growing in two pots. Place one of the plants
outdoors when there is adequate sunlight and the other plant in a dark place such as
a cupboard. Give the two plants equal amounts of water and leave them for two
days. The plant in the cupboard will start to droop after 2 days while the one
outdoors will remain healthy.
Thus, sunlight is important for photosynthesis and growth of plants.
