Chapter: 05. Plants In The Surroundings

⁠

Question 1

⁠

Identify the two main systems of the plant shown in the diagram.

Name three parts that belong to the shoot system.

What is the primary function of the root system?

The two main systems of the plant shown are the Root System and the Shoot System.

Three parts that belong to the shoot system are the Flower, Leaf, Stem, and Fruit (any three).

The primary function of the root system is to firmly attach the plant to the soil, absorb water and minerals from the soil, and prevent soil erosion.

Question 2

⁠

Identify the type of root system shown on the left and on the right.

How do these two root systems differ in their structure?

Give one example of a plant that has the root type shown on the left.

The type of root system shown on the left is a Taproot, and the type on the right is a Fibrous root.

Taproots have one main, thick root that grows deep into the soil with smaller roots branching off, whereas fibrous roots consist of many fine, branching roots that arise from a single point at the stem’s base and spread widely but more shallowly.

One example of a plant that has the taproot type shown on the left is a carrot or a turnip.

Question 3

⁠

Identify the tiny pores shown on the underside of the leaf. What is their function?

What process takes place in the leaf, and what three things does it use from the environment for this process?

What is the green-coloured pigment in leaves called, and what is its role?

The tiny pores shown on the underside of the leaf are called stomata. Their function is to help the plant breathe by allowing the exchange of gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen.

The process that takes place in the leaf is photosynthesis. For this process, the leaf uses sunlight, carbon dioxide from the air, and water absorbed from the soil.

The green-coloured pigment in leaves is called chlorophyll. Its role is to trap sunlight, which provides the energy needed for photosynthesis.

Question 4

⁠

What is the name of the process illustrated in this diagram?

Name the two parts that emerge from the seed during germination and describe what each part develops into.

Besides water, what two other essential environmental conditions are required for this process to occur?

The name of the process illustrated in this diagram is germination.

The two parts that emerge from the seed are the radicle and the plumule. The radicle grows downwards and develops into the root system, while the plumule grows upwards and develops into the shoot system (stem and leaves).

Besides water, the two other essential environmental conditions required for germination to occur are the right amount of warmth (temperature) and air (oxygen).
