Q 313 Marks Question3 Marks
Ananya took four test tubes and filled three- fourth of each test tube with water. She labelled them A, B, C, and D (Fig). In test tube A, she kept a snail; in test tube B, she kept a water plant; in test tube C, she kept both a snail and a plant. In test tube D, she kept only water. Ananya added a carbon dioxide indicator to all the test tubes. She recorded the initial colour of water and observed if there are any colour changes in the test tubes after 2-3 hours. What do you think she wants to find out? How will she know if she is correct?

Q 343 Marks Question3 Marks
Oxygen which is essential for the survival of all organisms is produced during photosynthesis. In the absence of photosynthesis, life would be impossible on the earth. During photosynthesis, chlorophyll containing cells of leaves, in the presence of sunlight, use carbon dioxide and water to synthesise carbohydrates. During the process oxygen is released. The presence of starch in leaves indicates the occurrence of photosynthesis. Starch is also a carbohydrate.
Q.1. Which component is essential for the survival of all the living organisms?
(a) Oxygen$\quad$(b) Carbon dioxide$\quad$(c) Carbon Monoxide$\quad$(d) Hydrogen
Q.2. Name the green pigment present in leaves.
Q.3. How we come to know the occurrence of photosynthesis in a plant?
