CH.1 NUTRITION IN PLANTS

Q1. MCQ
Q1: Pitcher plant traps insects because it
(a) is a heterotroph
(b) grows in soil which lack in nitrogen
(c) does not have chlorophyll
(d) has digestive system like human beings
Q2: This is an essential component without which photosynthesis will not occur in leaves
(a) Guard cells
(b) Chlorophyll
(c) Vacuole
(d) Space between cells
Q3: In this mode of nutrition two organisms live together. One provides shelter, water and nutrients while
the other prepares and provides food. Identify the mode of nutrition
(a) saprophyte
(b) parasite
(c) autotroph
(d) symbiosis

Q.2 True or False

1. Plants which synthesise their food themselves are called saprotrophs.

2. Solar energy is converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis.

3. Mushroom is a type fungus whose certain kind can be consumed by human beings

Q3. Short answer questions

1. I am small and I can fly. I disturb your sleep, bite you and suck your blood which is my food. Identify me
2. Name the plant which derives its nutrition by climbing on host plant.
3. The food synthesised by the plants is stored as ………..?
Q4. APPLICATION BASED QUESTIONS

1. Nitrogen is essential nutrient for plant growth. But farmers who cultivate pulse crop like green gram,
peas, moong do not apply nitrogenous fertilizers during cultivation. Why?
2. Wild animals like tiger, wolf, lion and leopard do not eat plants. Does this mean that they can survive
without plants? Can u provide a suitable explanation.

3. How is it possible to protect our articles made up of leather and crops in field from spoiled by fungi?

Q5 PASSAGE BASED QUESTION

Usually crops require a lot of nitrogen to make proteins. After the harvest, the soil becomes deficient in
nitrogen.The bacterium called Rhizobium can take atmospheric nitrogen and convert it into a soluble form.

Most of the pulses (dals) are obtained from leguminous plants. In return, the plants provide food and
shelter to the bacteria. They, thus, have a symbiotic relationship.

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS

1.Which is the nutrient mineral which helps in synthesis of proteins for crops?

2. Name the bacteria which helps to convert atmospheric nitrogen into soluble form?

3. Pulses are obtained from which plants?

(c) appendix
(d) oesophagus

Q.2ASSERTION AND REASON QUESTIONS

Directions for assertion and reason question

These questions consist of two statements each, printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these
questions you are required to choose any one of the following four responses.

b. If both the assertion and reason are true and the reason is the not the correct explanation of the
assertion

c. If the assertion is true but the reason is false

d If both the assertion and reason are false

1. Assertion : Rhizobium do fix atmospheric nitrogen

Reason : Rhizobium is generally found in the root nodules of leguminous to supply nitrogen to plants

2. Assertion : Cuscuta is a parasite

Reason : Leech is also a parasite as they do not get nutrition from host.

3. Assertion : The fungus do not grow on bread.

Reason : All fungi are harmful to us
