digestive system to survive on grass.
They have strong grinding teeth to chew tough grasses.
Deer have strong long legs which help them to run away swiftly to escape the
predators.
Their long ears enable them to hear even the slightest movement on the grass.
Many animals are active only at night and hide back of tall grasses during the
day.

2.How are plants that grow in mountains are different from plants that grow in
rainforest?
PLANTS LIFE IN MOUNTAIN REGION:

Lower region of mountains have dense broad leaved deciduous trees such as
oak and chestnut.
 At higher altitude conifers such as spruce,fir and pine trees,which have needle
like leaves are found.
The pointed cone shape of these trees help them to shed snow or rainwater
easily.
They eventually disappear at extremely higher altitudes.
Only some type of grasses and alpine flowers grow in such harsh climate.
PLANTS LIFE IN RAINFORESTS:

The trees have shallow roots to reach the nutrients as they have thin layer of
fertile soil.
So many trees develop huge buttress roots
These stretch from the ground up the trunk and help to anchor the tree to the
ground.
Leaves have a waxy surface with a pointed tip called drip tips.

3.With the help of an example explain how living things respond to stimuli.

Change the position of the pot after 6 days.
Observe if there is change in the direction of the growth.
You will notice that the plant bends in the direction of the light.
When you change the position of the pot the plant bends in the opposite
direction.
Plants grow towards sunlight.
Sunlight is the stimulus.(Refer for the diagram in CW)

4.Describe the adaptations seen in aquatic plants.

Plant life in aquatic habitats:

Plants that grow in water are of different types,

Some plants float on water

Some are partially submerged
Some are fully submerged.
The most important adaptation in aquatic palnts is the air spaces in the leaves,stem and
roots.

These air filled channels allow the exchange of gases between different parts of the
plant.
They also help the plant to remain upright in the water.
Free floating plants:

Duckweed, water hyacinth and pistia are some some free floating plants.
They grow in ponds,lakes and rivers.
Water hyacinth has thick glossy leaves with fuzzy,free hanging roots.
Phytoplanktons are microscopic plants that drift on the surface of oceans.
They are basic food for all sea organisms.
Partially submerged aquatic plants:

they are rooted to the soil in the bottom of the water body with their leaves and
flowers floating on the surface.
They have large floating leaves for capturing maximum sunlight.
The cells containing chlorophyll are concentrated near the surface of the leaves
They are waterproof because of their waxy coating layer.
eg: water lilly, lotus
Fully submerged aquatic plants:

They are the plants that are submerged in the water.

They remain rooted in the beds of rivers,ponds,lakes.
They have thin ribbon like leaves and flexible stem so that the water flows past
without damaging them.
5.Describe some of the features seen in the desert plants.

To reduce the loss of water by transpiration,most plants that grow in such areas
have a few small sized leaves to minimize the surface area.
Trees and shrubs in hot deserts tend to be short with fewer branch.
The roots of some plants go deep into the ground in search of water.
Many plants have fleshy stem to store water and for photosynthesis.
The stem is also covered with a thick wax layer that helps retain water.

eg: cactus, babool,date palm

6.What percentage of oxygen is found in air?How can we show that oxygen is needed
for combustion?
 Air contains 20.99%oxygen.
All living things use oxygen for respiration and combustion.
To prove that oxygen is needed for combustion:

Take a bowl,candle,water,a glass tumbler,matchbox.

Fix the candle in the bowl.Fill the bowl with water.Light the candle and cover it by
inverting a glass tumbler.
After sometimes the candle goes out.The water level in the glass tumbler rises.
This shows that the oxygen is needed for combustion.
We can observe that only one fifth of the volume of glass tumbler is filled with
water showing that major amount of air still remains in the tumbler.
That is nitrogen which does not aid combustion. (REFER TO THE CW FOR
DIAGRAM)

7.How is the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide maintained in the air?

Respiration and Photosynthesis maintains the balance of O2 and CO2 in the air.
The carbon dioxide released by the animals and plants during respiration is used
up by the plants during photosynthesis and oxygen released by the plants during
photosynthesis is used by both animals and plants for respiration.
Plants produce more oxygen during photosynthesis than they consume during
respiration.
Plants and animals helps to maintain the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide
in nature.

9.With the help of a diagram explain the working of a pinhole camera.

A PIN HOLE CAMERA is based on the principle of rectilinear propagation of light.
CONSTRUCTION: A pin hole camera consists of rectangular light proof box with a
very small hole in the middle of one faced and a shutter arrangements to open and
close the hole.A photographic plate is usually placed on the opposite side of the hole.

WORKING:

When rays of light coming from an object pass through the pinhole,they form an
inverted and small image on the photographic plate.
The sharpness and size of the image can be altered by adjusting the distance of
the object from the hole.
On placing a light candle in front of the pinhole,we get a clear inverted image of
the flame on the screen or the photographic plate.
The light candle acts as an object,as it gives out sufficient amount of light and
produces a bright image.
The top (A) of the flame sends out rays in all the directions but only a small
portion of light rays passes through the pinhole and makes a small, illuminated
patch on the screen.
A narrow beam from the bottom (B) of the flame also causes an illumination
patch.
Similarly, from every point of the object,a narrow beam of light passes through
the
