SECTION D: Short Answer Questions (2–3 lines each)

 

1. What is germination?
Germination is the process by which a seed grows into a new plant. It begins when the seed gets air, water, and warmth.

 

2. What are cotyledons? What is their role in seed growth?
Cotyledons are parts of the seed that store food. They provide energy to the baby plant during early growth.

 

3. Name three things required for a seed to germinate.
A seed needs air, water, and warmth to germinate properly into a new plant.

 

4. What is seed dispersal? Why is it important?
Seed dispersal is the scattering of seeds away from the parent plant. It prevents overcrowding and helps plants grow in new places.

 

5. Name two plants whose seeds are dispersed by wind.
Maple and dandelion seeds are dispersed by wind because they are light and have wing-like structures.

 

6. What kind of seeds are dispersed by water? Give examples.
Seeds that are light or have a fibrous cover float on water. Examples are lotus and coconut.

 

7. How do animals help in seed dispersal?
Seeds with hooks stick to animal fur or are eaten and passed out with waste, helping them spread to new areas.

 

8. What happens if seeds are sown too close to each other?
They will compete for sunlight, air, water, and nutrients. Many of them may not survive.

 

9. Name two plants that grow from roots.
Carrot and radish are examples of plants that can grow from their roots.

 

10. How does a new plant grow from a potato?
Potatoes have buds called “eyes.” A piece with an eye can grow into a new plant.

 

11. Which part of Bryophyllum helps in the growth of a new plant?
New Bryophyllum plants grow from the buds on the edges of its leaves.

 

12. Define agriculture.
Agriculture is the practice of growing plants and crops on a large scale for food or other needs.

 

13. What are kharif crops? Give examples.
Kharif crops are grown from June to October and depend on monsoon rains. Examples: rice and maize.

 

14. What are rabi crops? Give examples.
Rabi crops are grown from November to April and do not depend on monsoon rains. Examples: wheat and legumes.

 

15. Why do farmers use pesticides and scarecrows?
Pesticides protect crops from pests. Scarecrows keep birds away from the fields.
