Chapter: 06. Food We Get From Plants

⁠

Question 1

⁠

Identify the different types of plants shown in this garden scene.

Describe one key characteristic of the plant climbing the wall.

Which type of plant in the image is likely to live for many years, and why?

Answers:

The garden displays a tree, a shrub, herbs, a climber, and a creeper.

The plant climbing the wall is a climber. Its key characteristic is that it possesses a weak stem, meaning it cannot stand upright independently; therefore, it relies on the wall for support to grow upwards.

The large tree with the thick trunk is the type of plant most likely to live for many years. Trees have strong, woody trunks and deep, robust root systems that enable them to endure various environmental conditions and grow for an extended period, often spanning decades or even centuries.

Question 2

⁠

Identify which part of the plant is represented by the carrots and radishes.

What type of plant part are spinach and cabbage?

Name one other common vegetable that is also a stem, similar to ginger and potatoes.

Answers:

The carrots and radishes shown represent the roots of the plants, which are commonly consumed as vegetables.

Spinach and cabbage are examples of leaves that we eat as vegetables.

Another common vegetable that is botanically a stem, similar to ginger and potatoes, is sugarcane.

Question 3

⁠

Identify at least three items in the picture that come directly from plants.

Explain how the paper in the picture is related to plants.

What is the origin of the cooking oil shown, and how is it obtained?

Answers:

At least three items in the picture that come directly from plants are paper, wood, cooking oil, and coffee beans.

Paper is directly related to plants because it is produced from wood pulp, which is sourced by cutting down trees. This connection emphasizes the importance of recycling paper to help conserve trees.

The cooking oil displayed is obtained from the seeds of various oil-rich plants, such as groundnut, sunflower, or mustard plants, through a process of crushing these seeds.

Question 4

⁠

Which plant shown is often called the “queen of herbs” and what is one of its uses?

Identify the plant part used to treat toothache among the items displayed.

How is the plant often used for skin infections?

Answers:

The Tulsi leaves are from the plant often called the “queen of herbs.” One of its uses is to help alleviate cough and cold symptoms.

The dried cloves are the specific plant part used to treat toothache, offering natural relief.

Neem is the plant widely utilized for skin infections. It is highly effective because it possesses properties that help in killing germs, and it is also incorporated into products like toothpastes and soaps.
