NCERT Solutions Class 10 Science from chapter 1 to 16

Q1.What is the function of guard cells in stomata?

Ans. The guard cells regulate/control the opening and closing of stomata.

Q2.Why are stomata absent in roots.

Ans. As a little gas exchange takes place in roots hence stomata are not present in them.

Q3.Each stoma is surrounded by two bean-shaped cells. What are they called?

Ans. They are called guard cells.

Q4.Which surface of dicot leaves more stomata are present?

Ans.On the lower surface of leaves i.e lower epidermis.

Q5.What is transpiration?

Ans. The loss of water in the form of vapours from the surface of leaves is called transpiration.

Q6. How will one identify monocot leave and a dicote leave on the basis of stomata?

Ans. Guard on the monocot leaves are dumb-bell shaped while in dicot leaves they are kidney-shaped or bean-shaped.

Q7.Which side of leaves should be observed for stomata in dicot plants?

Ans. Stomata is present in both sides of the dicot leaf.

Q8.What are the function of the stomatal apparatus?

Ans. The function of the stomata are:

(a) For the exchange of gases during respiration and photosynthesis.

(b) During transpiration for loss of water.

Q9. Do the guard cells have rigid or elastic walls? Justify your answers.

Ans. Guard cells have thicker cell walls on inner side than the outer side. This adds to their flexibility while opening and closing.

Q10.Define venation.

Ans. The pattern of veins in a leaf lamina is called venation. Some plants monocots have parallel venation and others (dicots) have network type venation(reticulate).

Q11. State the difference between photosynthesis and respiration.

Ans.

Q12. What do you mean by a catabolic process?

Ans. Catabolism means the metabolic activities which involve breakdown of complex substances like glucose in cells is broken simpler substances(H2O & CO2).

Q13.Define breathing.

Ans. The physical process of inhalation of oxygen and exhalation of carbon dioxide is called breathing.

Q14.Define fermentation.

Ans.It is a type of anaerobic respiration. It also releases CO2 as a by-product.

Q15. Why we use germinating seeds but not green leaves of a plant to demonstrate respiration.

Ans. Germinating seeds are under rapid growth hence they actively respire. On the other hand, green leaves of a plant will undergo photosynthesis also along with respiration. Thus it will utilize CO2 produced during respiration, hence the presence of CO2 may not be detected properly.

Q16. What is the role of KOH in this experiment?

Ans.KOH absorbs the CO2 produced thus creating a partial vacuum in the flask.

Q17.Why germinating seeds are moistened so that they don’t dry up and continue respiration with the help of moisture.

Ans. The seeds are moistened so that they don’t dry up and continue respiration with the help of moisture.

Q18.What are raw materials for respiration?

Ans. Sugars and oxygen.

Q19.Write the chemical reaction introduced in respiration.

Ans

Q20. What is the full form of ATP.

Ans. Adenosine Triphosphate, it is an energy-rich molecule.

Q21. What is asexual reproduction?

Ans. It is a mode of reproduction in which a single organism produces new organisms without the formation of ay special cell(gamete). A single parent produces two or more individuals.

Q22.Define fission and type of fissions.

Ans. A mode of reproduction when an organism divides into two or more off sprigs. The parent organism splits into two or more off sprigs. The parent organism splits into two or more parts. Fission is of two types.

(a) Binary fission: Organism divides into two daughter cells.

(b) Multiple fission: Organism divides into two or more than two individuals.

Q23.Name an organism which divides by multiple fission,

Ans. Plasmodium (Malaria parasite)

Q24.How many fissions occurs in Amoeba?

Ans. A mature cell of amoeba undergoes karyokinesis(i.e division of nucleus first followed by cytokinesis (i.e division of the cytoplasm) resulting in the formation of two daughter cells. The parent amoeba cell loses its identity in such division.

Q25.What is vegetative propagation?

Ans. Growing of plants from vegetative parts of it like leaf, root, or stem is known as vegetative propagation. It is an asexual mode of reproduction.

Q26. Is budding in yeast different from hydra? Justify your answer.

Ans. In yeast, budding occurs in the form of a protuberance on the parent yeast cell. It may separate or may not separate and can further develop into several daughter buds. In hydra, the bud separates due to repeated mitotic cell division and is a multicellular single organism itself.

Q27.Which type of cell division involved in binary fission?

Ans. Mitosis, as the number of chromosomes, remains the same.

Q28. Mention the points of differences between sexual ad asexual reproduction.

Ans.
