This document contains a lesson on plant structures and their functions. It includes short questions with answers on leaf anatomy like the lamina, venation types, and calyx. Short answer questions compare taproots vs fibrous roots and list the main functions of leaves. Longer questions define climbers with examples and explain the parts of a leaf and labeled flower diagram. The flower parts of sepals, petals, stamen, and pistil are identified along with their reproductive roles in pollination and seed production.

2. Very short answers type questions
Q 1. Name the broad green part of a leaf?
Ans . Lamina or leaf blade.
Q 2. What is venation? Write different types of
Venation.
Ans. The arrangement of veins in the lamina or leaf
Blade is known as venation. Types of venation are:
a)Reticulate venation b)Parallel venation.
Q 3. What is Calyx?
Ans . The group of outer green leaves or sepals is
Called Calyx.

3. SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTION
Q 1.Differentiate between tap root and fibrous
Root?
S.no. TAP ROOT FIBROUS ROOT
1 It goes deep beneath the soil. It does not go deep in the soil.
2 It has one main long root. It does not have any main root.
3 Roots are of different thickness. Roots are of same thickness.
4 Leaves of plants with tap root have
reticulate venation.
Leaves of plants with fibrous root
have parallel venation.

4. Q2. What are the main functions of leaves?
Ans. a) The leaves make food for the plants by the process of
photosynthesis.
b ) The leaves get rid of excess water from the plants through
transpiration.
c ) The leaves exchange gases through stomata.
Q3 .What are the climbers? Give examples.
Ans. A plant having thin, long and weak stem which cannot stand
upright but readily climbs up a neighbouring support is called
climber. For example: money plant and grapes.

5. LONG ANSWERS TYPE QUESTIONS
Q1. What are the different parts of a leaf? Explain
with the help of a diagram?
Ans. The different parts of a leaf are
1.Petiole 2. Lamina 3.Midrib 4.Veins e.t.c.

6. Q2.Draw a well labelled diagram of flower and explain its main
parts.
Ans. Flower is the reproductive part of a plant. Its main parts are
(1) SEPALS (2) PETALS (3) STAMEN (4) PISTIL
(1)SEPALS:- Sepals protect the flower when
it is in the form of a bud.
(2)PETALS: Different colour and scent
of petals attract insects, butterflies
e.t.c for pollination.
(3)STAMEN: Stamen is the male part
of a flower. Its main parts are filament
and anther. It produces pollen grains.
(4)PISTIL:- Pistil is the female part of a flower. Its parts are style,
stigma and ovary.
