Case Study Questions

1. Air is necessary for all living organisms. They breathe in air for the most important life process
called respiration.
The process of digestion converts our food material into soluble compounds, which are
absorbed by the blood and carried to the cells. Oxygen reacts with the digested food and
releases energy which helps in other activities of the body and also maintains our body
temperature.
The waste product, carbon dioxide, is carried by the blood to the lungs from where it is
breathed out.
Try to hold your nose tightly. Then answer the following questions:
1. Why cannot you hold your nose tightly for a very long time?
2. What would happen if you do not take in air?
 Without oxygen, our body cannot use food. Animals and plants living on land get air from the
atmosphere while aquatic plants and animals use air dissolved in water.
At higher altitudes, the air is thin and breathing becomes difficult. Similarly, air becomes less
dense below the surface of the earth. That is why mountaineers, astronauts, miners and divers
carry oxygen cylinders with them.
The air which we breathe in is inhaled air and the air which we breathe out is exhaled air.
(i) Name the waste product that is carried by the blood to the lungs.
(ii) From where do animals and plants living on land get air?
(iii) Why mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders with them?
(iv) Write the difference between inhaled air and exhaled air.

2. Water contains oxygen. Some animals that live in water, e.g. whales come up to the water
surface to breathe in oxygen from the air. Others, for example, fish breathe in oxygen dissolved
in water. Fishes have organs called gills instead of lungs. When water passes through the gills,
oxygen dissolved in the water is absorbed. The organisms that live in soil also need oxygen to
respire. How do they get the air they need for respiration?
The organisms which are living under the soil, and the roots of a plant, respire by taking
oxygen present in the soil. Some organisms living under soil make deep burrows and holes in
the soil through which the air reaches them for respiration. However, when it rains heavily,
water fills up all the spaces occupied by the air in the soil. In this situation, animals living in the
soil have to come out for respiration. Could this be the reason why earthworms come out from
the soil only during heavy rains?
(i) How whales breathe in air?
(ii) How fish use the dissolved oxygen?
(iii) How some organisms living under soil breathe?
(iv) Why earthworms come out during heavy rain?

3. How does the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere not change? We have seen that oxygen in
the air is continuously being used up in burning and breathing. Both burning and breathing
take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. However, the percentage of oxygen in the air
remains constant. This is because green plants give out oxygen into air during the process of
photosynthesis.
During photosynthesis, the green plants take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen. But during
respiration, both plants and animals take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. In this way,
oxygen and carbon dioxide balance is maintained in nature. The cycle of the consumption of
oxygen by breathing and burning and its release by photosynthesis is known as oxygen cycle.
This is a balanced process. Human activities such as deforestation and excessive burning can
disturb this balance. Hence, it is essential to plant more trees and burn less fuel.

(i) Why amount of oxygen in atmosphere not change?

(ii) Define oxygen cycle.
(iii) What disturb the oxygen cycle?
(iv) How we can maintain the oxygen cycle?

Case Study Questions

1. Plants can be classified into three categories : herbs, shrubs and trees. Plants with green and
tender stems are called herbs. They are usually short and may not have many branches. For
example – Tomato. Some plants develop branches near the base of stem. The stem is hard but
not very thick. Such plants are called shrubs. For example– lemon. Some plants are very tall
and have hard and thick stem. The stem has branches in the upper part, much above the
ground. Such plants are called trees. For example– mango.
Plants with week stems that cannot stand upright but spread on the ground are called creeper,
while those that take support and climb up are called Climber. These are different from the
herbs, shrubs and trees.
(i) Which of the following is the example of herb ­
(a) Mango (b) Tomato (c) Pumpkin (d) Lemon
(ii) What kind of plants are called creepers?
(iii) What are herbs?
(iv) Define climber
(v) What are shrubs?
2. The stem of a plant helps in upward movement of water. The water and minerals go to leaves
and other plant parts attached to the stem.
The part of leaf by which it is attached to the stem is called petiole. The broad, green part of the
leaf is called lamina. The lines on the leaf are called veins. A prominent line in the middle of the
leaf is called the mid rib. The design made by veins in a leaf is called the leaf venation. If this
design is Net­like on both sides of mid rib, the venation is reticulate. In the leaves of grass you
might have seen that the veins are parallel to one another. This is parallel venation.
(i) Name the middle line of the leaf.
(ii) Which part of leaf is broad and green in colour?
(iii) Define reticulate venation.
(iv) Write the function of stem in plants.

3. Do this activity during day time on a sunny day. Use a healthy, well­watered plant that has been
growing in the sun. Enclose a leafy branch of the plant in a polythene cover and tie up its
mouth. Tie up the mouth of another empty polythene cover and keep it also in the sun. After a
few hours, observe the inner surface of the covers. You’ll observe droplets of water inside it.
Water comes out of leaves in the form of vapour by a process called transpiration. Plants
release a lot of water into the air through this process.
Leaves also have another function, to know that, we would require a leaf, spirit, a beaker, test
tube, burner, water, a watch glass and iodine solution for this activity.
Take a leaf in a test tube and pour
Take a leaf in a test tube and pour spirit to completely immerse the leaf. Now, place the test
tube in a beaker half filled with water. Heat the beaker till all the green colour from the leaf
comes out into the spirit in the test tube. Take out the leaf carefully and wash it in water. Place
it on a watch glass and pour some iodine solution over it. You’ll observe that it has turned blue
black, showing the presence of Starch in it. For instance, a slice of raw potato also shows the
presence of starch. Potatoes get this starch from their leaves and store it. Leaves prepare their
food in the presence of sunlight and a green coloured substance present in them. For this, they
also use water and carbon dioxide. This process is called photosynthesis. Oxygen is given out in
this process. The food prepared by leaves ultimately gets stored in different parts of plant.
(i) Which gas is given out during the process of photosynthesis?
(ii) Explain the process of transpiration.
(iii) How do plants prepare food?
(iv) Where starch is present in potatoes?

4. Roots help in holding the plant firmly to the soil. They anchor the plant to soil. Go to an open
ground where many wind plants are growing. Dig out a few, wash the soil off the roots and
observe them. You will find that all of the them have either the kind of roots shown in fig. 1 or
as in fig. 2. For roots of the kind shown in fig. 1 the main root is called tap root and the smaller
roots are called lateral roots. Plants with roots as shown in fig. 2 do not have a main root. All
roots seem similar and these are called fibrous roots.
We have learnt that roots absorb water and minerals from the soil and the stem conducts these
to leaves and other parts of the plant. The leaves prepare food. This food travels through the
stem and is stored in different parts of plant. We eat some of these as roots — like carrot,
radish, sweet potato, turning and tapioca. We also eat many other parts of a plant where food is
stored.
(i) Explain the function of roots in plants.
(ii) What are fibrous root?
(iii) Name the type of roots, that have main root.
(iv) Which part of plant prepare food.

Case Study Questions

1. In the sea, plants and animals are surrounded by saline (salty) water. Most of them use the air
dissolved in water. There is very little water available in the desert. It is very hot in the day
time and very cold at night in the desert. The animals and plants of the desert live on the desert
soil and breathe air from the surroundings. The sea and the desert are very different
surroundings and we find very different kind of plants and animals in these two region. Let us
look at two very different kind of organism from the desert and the sea – a camel and fish. The
body structure of a camel helps it to survive in desert conditions. Camel have long legs which
help to keep their bodies away from the heat of the sand. They excrete small amount of urine,
their dung is dry and they do not sweat. Since camels lose very little water from their bodies,
they can live for many days without water.
Let us look at different kinds of fish. The thing that is common in all fishes their streamlined
shape, which helps them move inside water. Fish have slippery scales on their bodies. These
scales protect the fish and also help in easy movement through water. Fish have flat fins and
 tails that help them to change directions and keep their body balance in water. Gills present in
the fish help them to use oxygen dissolved in water.
(i) What help fish to change their direction in water?
(ii) Describe the features that enable camels to survive in desert conditions.
(iii) Which part of fish body help them to breathe?
(iv) Name the shape that helps fish to move inside water.

2. The place where organisms live is called habitat. Habitat means a dwelling place (a home). The
habitat provides food, water, air, shelter and other needs to organisms. Several kinds of plants
and animals live is the same habitat. The plants and animals that live on land are said to live in
terrestrial habitats. Some examples of terrestrial habitats are forests, grasslands, deserts,
coastal and mountain regions. On the other hand, the habitats of plants and animals that live in
water are called aquatic habitats. Lake, rivers and oceans are some examples of aquatic
habitats. There are large variations among terrestrial habitats like forests, grasslands, deserts,
coastal and mountain regions located in different parts of the world.
The organisms, both plants and animals, living in a habitat are its biotic components. The non­
living things such as rocks, soil, air and water in the habitat constitute it’s abiotic components.
(i) What do you meant by habitat?
(ii) What are terrestrial habitats?
(iii) Name some terrestrial habitat.
(iv) Define biotic components.

3. Abiotic factors like air, water, light and heat are important for the growth of plants. In fact,
abiotic factors are important for all living organisms. We find that organisms exist in very cold
as well as very hot climates, this is because they manage to survive through adaptation.
Adaptation is the method by which organisms get well adjusted to the climate. Adaptation does
not take place in a short time. Because the abiotic factors or a region also change very slowly.
Those organisms which cannot adapt to these changes die, and only the adapted ones survive.
Organisms adapt to different Abiotic factors in different ways. This results in a wide variety of
organisms in different habitats.
(i) Name the factors that are important for growth of plant.
(ii) What is adaptation?
(iii) Which factors are important for all living organism?
(iv) Why adaptation does not take place in a short period of time?
