Time : 30 min

herb and a shrub. Which characteristics of the plant will help the student identify the
shrub?
(a) Green stems
(b) Hard and thick stems
(c) Branches developed at the base of the stem
(d) Branches developed in the upper part of the stem
2. Which of the following is the correct match between the characteristics of stem and the
category of plant?
(a) Weak stem which cannot stand upright: Creeper
(b) Green tender stem: Shrub
(c) Thick, hard stem with branching near the base: Tree
(d) Thick, hard stem with branches high on the plant: Herb
3. The root system and the shoot system of a plant play different roles. Which of the
following functions NOT relate to the shoot system?
(a)Transpiration
(b)Flower development
(c) Provide site for photosynthesis
(d)Absorption of nutrients from the soil
4) The table shows classification of plants in various categories done by a student after
reading their characteristics.
Which plant has been correctly classified by the student?
(a) Plant 1
(b) Plant 2
(c) Plant 3
(d) Plant 4
5. The table lists some functions of different plant parts.
How many of these functions are performed by the parts involved in the shoot system?
(a) 2
(b) 3
(c) 4
(d) 5
6. The image shows a watermelon plant.
A student claimed that it is a herb. Is the claim made by the student correct?
(a) Yes. The plant has green stems, so it is an herb.
(b) Yes. The plant has many branches, so it is an herb.
(c) No. The plant has weak stems and spreads on the ground, so it is a creeper.
(d) No. The plant has weak stems which are supporting the watermelon on the ground,
so it is a climber.
7. A farmer designed a home vineyard to plant grapevines, as shown in the image.
What could be the reason for the farmer to design it in this way?
(a)To make the yard beautiful as grapes flowers will cover all these poles
(b)To manage the space as some other plants can be grown on the ground
(c)To provide equal space to each grapevine as these require lot of ground to grow
(d)To get good productivity of grapes as grapes vines are climbers which need
supports to climb upward
8. A student pulled a herb out of the soil and observed that a plant part came out with it.
Some hair-like structures were coming out from that part. What could be the plant part?
(a) Flower
(b) Leaf
(c) Stem
(d) Root
9. Ramesh wants to collect that part of a plant which contains its reproductive parts. What
features would be possessed by that plant part?
(a) Presence of Midrib
(b) Presence of stomata
(c) Presence of root hairs
(d) Presence of petals and sepals
10. A student cuts a twig of a plant. After making the cut, the student observed a drop of
water collected at its end. What could be the reason for the appearance of this drop of
water?
(a)Conduction of water through the stem
(b)Transpiration of water through the stem
(c)Formation of dew due to water condensation
(d)Absorption of water by the stem from the surroundings
11. How do you identify the root system of a plant without pulling it out of soil?
12. Explain an activity to show that the stem conducts water and other substances.
13. One day, a student covered a Tulsi plant that was growing in his garden with a polythene
bag. That evening, he was surprised to find tiny droplets of water collected inside the bag.
Where do you think this water came from? Give a suitable reason to support your answer.
14. Define pollination. What happens to the following parts of a flower after pollination:
a. Ovule
b. Petals
c. Ovary
15. Why are the flowers of some plants brightly coloured and have a sweet smell?
16. Give one word for the following:
a. Part of the stem from which leaves or new buds arise.
b. Structures that grow from the stem of climber plants to support them.
c. Roots that grow from the branches and give extra support to the stem of the plant.
17. What do you mean by leaf venation? Explain various types of leaf venation with examples.
Answer Key
1. Correct Answer: Option (c)
2. Correct Answer: Option (a)
3. Correct Answer: Option (d)
4. Correct Answer: Option (c)
5. Correct Answer: Option (c)
6. Correct Answer: Option (c)
7. Correct Answer: Option (d)
8. Correct Answer: Option (d)
9. Correct Answer: Option (d)
10. Correct Answer: Option (a)
11. Ans. By looking at the venation of the leaves, we can identify the root system of a plant.
Plants with leaves having parallel venation have fibrous roots and leaves having reticulate
venation have taproot.
12. Ans. Take some water in a glass. Add a few drops of red ink to the water. Cut the stem of a
herb plant from its base. Put it in the glass as shown in the figure. We will see that some parts
of the stem become red. This activity shows that the stem conducts water.
13. The excess water absorbed by the roots of the plant is lost in the form of water vapour
that is released through the stomata of the leaves. The water vapour condenses to form water
droplets on the inside of the plastic bag.
14. Pollination is the process of transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of the
flower. The ovule turns into a seed after pollination. Petals fall off and the ovary swells up to
form a fruit.
15. The flowers are brightly coloured to attract the insects for pollination.
16. a. Node
b. Tendrils
c. Prop roots
17. Ans. Leaf venation: The design made by veins in a leaf is called leaf venation. There are
the following two types of leaf venation:
(i) Reticulate venation: If the design of veins makes a net-like structure on both the sides of
midrib then it is called reticulate venation. For example, mango leaf, gram leaf.
(ii) Parallel venation: If the veins are parallel to each other or to midrib then such type of
venation is called parallel venation. For example, wheat leaf, barley leaf.
