Ans: Living organisms share characteristics such as the ability to move and reproduce. There are different types of living organisms including plants, animals, fungi, bacteria. Q2. What is kingdom? © Ans: Living things are divided into five kingdoms: animal, plant, fungi, protist and Monera. © Protista (the single-celled eukaryotes) © Fungi (fungus and related organisms) © Plantae (the plants} ¢ Animalia (the animals) © Monera (the prokaryotes) Q3. Mention the kingdom in Whittakers five kingdom classification. Kingdom Protista Kingdom Fungi Kingdom Plantae Kingdom Animalia Kingdom Monera Q4. Which are the special cell organelles that differentiate plants cells from animals cell ? Ans: Chloroplasts are the special cell organelles found in plants ( they are not found in animals cells) that differentiate plant cells from animal cells. Q5. Who classified the kingdom plantae into two sub-kingdom ? ¢ Ans: Botanist named Eichler in 1883 classified the kingdom plantae into © two kingdoms . © Cryptogams and phanerogams are the two classifications of plantae kingdom. Q7. Discuss the basis for classification of plants ? © Ans: (i) Presence or absence of organs Scanned with CamScannersta Classes — Prof. Priyank © (ii) Presence or absence of separate conducting tissues for the conducting tissues for conduction of food and water. © (iii) Presence or absence of seeds in plants © (iv) Whether seeds are enclosed in fruits and not. © (v) Name of cotyledons in seeds: One or two. Q.8 Explain Sub-kingdom: Cryptogams. Ans: Plants belonging to sub-kingdom eryptogams reproduce with the help of spores. (1) Division I- Thallophyta (i) Plants belonging to division thallophyta grow mainly in water. some grow in fresh water, while others grown in marine water. (ii) These plants do not have specific parts like root, stem, leaves and flowers. (iii) they are autotrophic owing to the presence of chlorophyll. such plants are called algae (iv) Algae show great diversity. they either unicellular or multicellular. some are microscopic while other are macroscopic (large) Division II- Bryophyta. (1) Plants belonging to division Bryophyta are amphibious, because they grow on moist soil but require water for reproduction. (2) Plants are thalloid multicellular and autotrophic. (3) They reproduce by spores. a> (4) The structure of the plants body is long ribbon like and flat without true roots, stem and leaves. \ (5) They lack specific tissues for the conduction of food and water. (6) Examples of Bryophytes are Funaria (Moss), Riccia. Division III - Pteridophyta. (1) Plants belonging to Pteridophyta bears well developed roots, stem and leaves, (2) They do not bear flowers and fruits. (3) They bear separate tissues for the conduction of food and water. (4) Pteridophytes reproduce by means of spores which are formed on the posterior side of their leaves.

(2) Phanerogams are further classified into gymnosperms and angiosperms. (3) In gymnosperms the seeds are naked while in angiosperms the seeds are enclosed in fruits. Division 1 - Gymnosperms. Gymnos — naked, sperms- seeds Gymnosperms are perennial, woody and evergreen plants. The stems of gymnosperms are unbranched. The leaves form a crown at the top of the plant Seeds are not enclosed in fruits Cycas, Thuja, picea, pinus etc. Division II- Angiosperms Angios - concealed or hidden Sperms - seeds (1) Angiosperms are those plants in which the seeds are concealed . (2) These plants posses all organs of these plants (3) Flowers are reproductive organs of these plants. (4) Angiosperms are divided into two groups, viz, Monocots and dicots depending on the number of cotyledons in their seeds. Scanned with CamScannerEduVista Classes - Prof. Priyanka.
