What are the three R’s to save the environment? Explain with one example of each.

✓

Answer

The three R’s to save the environment are:

Reduce: Reduce means that we use less of the natural resources by cutting down on those practices which lead to their wastage. For example – we can reduce the wastage of electricity by switching off unnecessary lights and fans.
Recycle: Recycling means that we should collect the used and discarded items of paper, plastic, glass and metals, and send them to the respective industries for making fresh paper, plastic, glass or metal objects.
Reuse: Reuse means that we should use the same things again. For example plastic jars in which we buy various food items like Jams, pickles etc, can be used later on for storing things like salt and sugar.

The transport system in plants consists of two kinds of tissues X and Y. The tissue X is made up of living cells and consists of two components A and B. The component A has tiny pores in its end walls and contains only cytoplasm but no nucleus. On the other hand, component B has cytoplasm as well as nucleus. The tissue Y is made up of dead cells and consists of two components C and D. The component C has open ends whereas component D does not have open ends. In flowering plants, either only C or both C and D transport water but D is the only water conducting tissue in non - flowering plants.
