Water and dissolved minerals get into the root hair of a plant by a process called A and enter the conducting tissue B. The process C helps the water and dissolved minerals to move up through the tissue B in roots and stem, and reach the leaves of a plant. In the leaves food is made by a process D. This food is then transported to all the parts of a plant through tissue E. The process of distributing food made in the leaves to all the parts of the plants is called F.
  1. What are (i) A, (ii) B, (iii) C, (iv) D, (v) E, and (vi) F?
  2. Which tissue is made up of living cells: B or E?
  3. Which tissue, B or E, contains sieve tubes?
  4. Which tissue, B or E, contains tracheids?

  1.  
  1. The process by which water and dissolved minerals get into the root hair of a plant is known as diffusion. Hence, A is diffusion.
  2. The water and dissolved minerals are absorbed by the cells of the root hair, which enter the conducting tissue known as xylem. Hence, B is xylem.
  3. Transpiration helps in transporting water and dissolved minerals to move up through the xylem tissue (B) in the roots and the stem, and reach the leaves of a plant. Hence, C is transpiration.
  4. In leaves, the food is prepared by a process known as photosynthesis. Hence, the process D is photosynthesis.
  5. The food synthesised by the leaves of a plant is transported to all the parts of a plant through tissue phloem (E). Hence, E is phloem.
  6. The process of distributing (or transporting) food made in the leaves to all the parts of the plant is called translocation. Hence, F is translocation.
  1. B represents xylem, while E represents phloem. Out of these, phloem (E) is made of living cells.
  2. E (phloem) contains sieve tubes.
  3. B (xylem) contains tracheids.

    The organs A of a person have been damaged completely due to which too much of a poisonous waste material B has started accumulating in his blood, making it dirty. In order to save this person's life, the blood from an artery in the person's arm is made to flow into long tubes made of substance E which are kept in coiled form in a tank containing solution F. This solution contains three materials G, H and I in similar proportions to those in normal blood. As the person's blood passes through long tubes of substance E, most of the wastes present in it go into solution. The clean blood is then put back into a vein in the arm of the person for circulation.
    1. What are organs A?
    2. Name the waste substance B.
    3. What are (i) E and (ii) F? Name G, H and I.
    4. What is the process described above known as?

    The partially digested food coming from the stomach of a person enters a long and narrow organ A in his body. The organ A receives the secretion of two glands: liver and pancreas. Liver secretes a greenish - yellow liquid B which is normally stored in the organ C. Pancreas secretes pancreatic juice which contains three digestive enzymes D, E and F. The intestinal juice completes the process of digestion of food. The inner wall of organ A has millions of tiny finger - like projections G which help in the rapid absorption of digested food into blood stream. The undigested part of food then passes into wider tube H which absorbs most of the water from undigested food. The last part of tube H called I stores this undigested food (or waste) for some time. The undigested food is then passed out though opening J as faeces in the process known as K.
    1. Name the organ A.
    2. Name liquid B and organ C.
    3. What are the digestive enzymes D, E and F?
    4. Name the projections G present on the inner wall of organ A.
