Pranav Singh answered
Seawater is toxic to humans because your body is unable to get rid of the salt that comes from seawater. Your body's kidneys normally remove excess salt by producing urine, but the body needs freshwater to dilute the salt in your body for the kidneys to work properly.

Pranav Singh answered
We get water from rain. Ponds and puddles are also filled with rain water. But not only this, the rain water also seeps inside the ground. In the space between the stones, sand, pebbles etc. which are under the soil, water keeps going down by seeping through the holes and crevices. The water that seeps down is groundwater, the same water we get in wells.

    Square
  • b)
    Round
  • c)
    Triangle
  • d)
    It doesn't have a shape
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Akshita Sharma answered
Shape of a Glass of Water
Water itself does not have a shape. When water is poured into a glass, it takes on the shape of the container it is in. Therefore, a glass of water does not have a specific shape.

Explanation
- Water molecules do not have a fixed shape because they can move freely and take the shape of their container.
- When water is poured into a glass, it conforms to the shape of the glass, whether it be square, round, triangular, or any other shape.
- The shape of the glass itself determines the shape of the water it holds, but the water molecules remain fluid and do not have a defined shape.

Conclusion
In conclusion, a glass of water does not have a shape of its own. It simply takes on the shape of the container it is poured into.

Why is water important for plants?
  • a)
    Plants can dance in water
  • b)
    Plants use water to breathe
  • c)
    Water makes plants grow candy
  • d)
    Plants don't need water
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Importance of Water for Plants
Water is essential for plants for several reasons, and it plays a crucial role in their survival and growth.
1. Photosynthesis
- Water is vital for the process of photosynthesis, where plants convert sunlight into energy.
- During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil to produce glucose and oxygen.
2. Nutrient Transport
- Water helps in transporting nutrients and minerals from the soil into the plant.
- It acts as a solvent, allowing essential nutrients to dissolve and be absorbed through the roots.
3. Turgor Pressure
- Water helps maintain turgor pressure in plant cells, which keeps them rigid and upright.
- This pressure is crucial for maintaining the plant’s structure and preventing wilting.
4. Temperature Regulation
- Water plays a role in regulating the temperature of plants.
- Through the process of transpiration, plants release water vapor which cools them down.
5. Cellular Functions
- Water is involved in various cellular processes within the plant.
- It is necessary for biochemical reactions and helps in the overall functioning of the plant cells.
In conclusion, while the idea of plants "breathing" may sound unusual, they indeed require water to absorb carbon dioxide and carry out vital processes that sustain their life. Thus, option 'B' is the correct answer, emphasizing the importance of water for plant health and growth.

Water: A Liquid We Drink

Water is a vital substance for all living organisms on Earth. It is a transparent, tasteless, and odorless liquid that covers approximately 71% of the planet's surface. Water exists in three states: solid (ice), liquid, and gas (water vapor). In this case, we are focusing on water as a liquid that we drink.

Importance of Water
Water plays a crucial role in maintaining the overall health and well-being of our bodies. It has several essential functions, including:

1. Hydration: Water is the primary component of our body fluids and is necessary for proper hydration. It helps regulate body temperature, lubricates joints, and aids in digestion.

2. Transportation: Water enables the transportation of nutrients, oxygen, and waste products throughout our body. It helps in the absorption and distribution of essential nutrients, ensuring the proper functioning of our cells and organs.

3. Metabolism: Water is involved in various metabolic processes within the body. It participates in chemical reactions, such as breaking down food and converting it into energy.

4. Waste Removal: Water helps flush out waste products and toxins from our bodies through urine, sweat, and bowel movements. It is essential for maintaining healthy kidney function.

5. Lubrication: Water acts as a lubricant for our joints, preventing friction and reducing the risk of injuries. It also keeps our eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes moist.

6. Body Temperature Regulation: Water has a high heat capacity, which means it can absorb and release heat without a significant change in its own temperature. This property helps regulate our body temperature, preventing overheating or hypothermia.

7. Brain Function: Proper hydration is essential for optimal brain function. Water helps improve cognitive performance, concentration, and memory.

Conclusion
Water is a vital liquid that we drink to sustain life. Its importance cannot be overstated, as it is involved in numerous bodily functions. By understanding the significance of water and ensuring adequate hydration, we can maintain our health and well-being.
