Question
Name the raw materials required for photosynthesis. How do plants obtain these raw materials?
✓
Answer
The raw materials for photosynthesis are carbon-dioxide and water. The green plants take carbon-dioxide from air for photosynthesis. The carbon-dioxide gas enters the leaves of the plants through the stomata present on their surface. The water required by the plants for photosynthesis is absorbed by the roots of the plants from the soil through the process of osmosis. The water absorbed by the roots is transported upwards through the xylem vessels to the leaves where it reaches the photosynthetic cells and utilized in photosynthesis.

A person buys two electrical devices P and Q for lighting purposes in his house. The device P consumes only 5 units of electricity in a month but device Q consumes 15 units of electricity in a month when used for the same number of hours daily. The device Q wastes a lot of electricity by radiating energy C but P does not do so.

- Name one component which is present in Q but not in P.
- Name the energy C.
- Which device is more energy efficient: P or Q?
- Which fossil fuel is most likely to be conserved if all of us switch over to devices like P?

A person first crossed pure-bred pea plants having round-yellow seeds with pure-bred pea plants having wrinkled-green seeds and found that only $A-B$ type of seeds were produced in the $F_1$ generation. When $F_1$ generation pea plants having $A-B$ type of seeds were cross-bred by self-pollination, then in addition to the original round-yellow and wrinkled-green seeds, two new varieties $A-D$ and $C-B$ type of seeds were also obtained.
→- What are $A-B$ type of seeds$?$
- State whether $A$ and $B$ are dominant traits or recessive traits.
- What are $A-D$ type of seeds$?$
- What are $C-B$ type of seeds$?$
- Out of $A-B$ and $A-D$ types of seeds, which one will be produced in $(i)$ minimum numbers, and $(ii)$ maximum numbers, in the $F_2$ generation?
