9. Draw the transverse section of the leaf and identify the layer of cells where
maximum photosynthesis occurs.
10. How does stomata help to maintain the transpiration rate?
Or,
How do the guard cells regulate opening and closing of stomatal pores?
11. Some organisms derive nutrition from plants or animals without killing them. What
are these organisms called? Give one example.
12. Two green plants are kept separately in oxygen free containers, one in the dark and
other in sunlight. It was observed that plant kept in dark could not survive longer.
Give reason for these observation.

foods. Give a reason by each of the foods mentioned should be avoided by a person
suffering from liver disease?
18. What do you mean by emulsification of fat?
19. how is the wall of small intestine adapted for performing the function of absorption
of food?
20. In the process of digestion of food in human beings 2 digestive enzymes are
secreted. Name the enzymes along with the glands that secrete them.

photosynthesis.
25. What are the adaptations of leaf for photosynthesis?
26. In each of the following situations what happens to the rate of photosynthesis-
Cloudy days, no rainfall in the area, good manuring in the area, stomata get locked
due to dust.
27. Name the following.

(ii) Organisms that can prepare their own food.
(iii) The celi organelle where photosynthesis occurs.
(iv) Cells that surround a stomatal pore.
(v) Organisms that cannot prepare their own food.
(vi) An enzyme secreted from gastric glands in stomach that acts on proteins.
