Glucose produced as a result of photosynthesis is easily soluble in water so it cannot


be stored in plant body .Therefore, they store glucose in the form of insoluble starch in
leaves. Plants utilise starch as a source of energy for life activities and to prepare
substances required for growth. Starch is later converted to sucrose and is transported
through phloem to various plant parts. Glucose undergo chemical changes and is
converted to various other nutrients. The stored food is starchin tubers, protein in

The digestion of complex nutrients like starch, protein, fat etc in the food we
eat, gets completed due to various processes that takes place at different
parts of the digestive system. Numerous digestive juices are involved in these
processes. Various enzymes present in these digestive juices help in the
digestion of each nutrient.

The heart beats continuously with a rhythm. When blood flows from the heart to
different parts of the body and vice versa, it passes twice through the chambers of
the heart. Hence the circulation of blood in humans is said to be double circulation.

Double circulation includes systemic circulation and pulmonary circulation. Systemic


circulation starts from the left ventricle and ends in the right atrium. The circulation
which starts from the right ventricle and ends in the left atrium is called pulmonary
circulation.

Xylem and Phloem are the vascular tissues in plants. Vascular tissues in plants extend
from the roots to leaves, in an interconnected manner. The water and salts that roots
absorb from the soil reach the leaves through xylem. Phloem Conducts food molecules
prepared in the leaf into different parts of the plant.
Water reach the leaves and other parts of the plant through the xylem due to the combined
action of many processes. Osmosis, Transpiration, Root pressure, Cohesion, and
Adhesion are important among them.
Transpiration reduces the pressure in the cells of leaves. In order to compensate this
pressure difference, water enters these cells from adjacent cells through osmosis. The
transpiration pull developed due to transpiration helps to carry water to the top. Cohesion
is the capacity of the water molecules to stick to themselves and adhesion is the capacity
of water molecules to stick to the walls of the vessel and together they help in the
upward movement of the water. Along with these, the root pressure developed due to
the absorption of water by root hairs also help in the smooth raising of water.

rupees. What is the price of each?
price of a book + price of a pen = 63

price of a book + price of 5 pens = 75

Here the excess amount is the price of 4 pens.

price of 4 pens = ........ - .......

= .........

Price of a pen = ......

Price of a book = 63 - .....

= ........
We could easily solve this problem. Can we solve the problem of sheep and shepherds
like this ? How ?
How do we understand this problem?
As we know, total number of heads = 16, share minimum 2 legs (common to both sheep
and shephered) to these 16 heads. Now total 16 x 2 = 32 legs are shared.
Total legs – 32 = 56 – 32 = 24 legs.
Do you know, whose legs these remaining 24 legs are ?
Yes. These 24 legs are for the sheep. Already we shared 2 legs to each. So we have to
share 2 more legs to each sheep. In this way we can share this 24 legs to 12 sheep.
Total 16 heads. 12 sheep have 12 heads. So the remaining 4 heads (16 -12 ) are the
heads of shepherds.
No of sheep = 12
No of shepherds = 4

IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is an Integrated
software that helps you to write and run various programs. IDLE is a
simple IDE software for creating python programs.
We can open IDLE from the menu Applications –Programming.

This window is called the Python Shell window and the place where
the program is typed is called the shell prompt.
In the Python Shell window, type the command print ("How are
you") and press the Enter key and its output is given below.

In Python program, anything that is given in quotes (eg. “how are


you”), even if they are digits, will be considered as strings.
What output would we get if we type the instructions given in the
table in shell prompt?

using a different function.

Hari has used AVERAGE function here. =AVERAGE(C2:D2) is used to find


out the average of cells from C2 to D2.
Can you find out the average of maximum and minimum temperature by
using the same function.
Maximum temperatures are given in the cells C2 to C5. Then what
should Hari type to get its average?

Minimum temperatures are given in cells D2 to D5. Then what should

Let us see the table prepared by Anu and Hari.

There are decimal places in the answers obtained when they


calculated the Daily Mean Temperature. We need to get the same as
integers. How do we get it?
To round off the decimal places the ROUND() function can be used.
You have to just type ROUND (E2,0) to round off the value in E2. Try to do
the activities by selecting the cell (F2) where the result is to be obtained.

=ROUND(E2,0)

This function is meant to round off the values in E2 to zero decimal


places. This can also be done by using average and round function
together. Just give ROUND(AVERAGE(C2, D2),0))

So what will you type to get an integer in C6?

When Anu tried to paste the name of place and average to another
sheet, she couldn’t paste it properly. Why was it so?

These type of issues arise while we try to copy and paste LibreOffice
Calc data having function or formula. We can solve this issue by using the
option Paste Special. All you have to do is change the tick mark given in
the Formulas to Numbers while pasting.
This is the window Anu got when she used the option Paste
Special.

Where should she put tick mark to paste numbers and name of places ?
