FAQs on Class 7 Science Chapter 10 Very Short Question Answers - Life Processes in Plants

1. What are the main life processes in plants?
Ans. The main life processes in plants include photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration, and reproduction. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Respiration involves the breakdown of glucose to release energy for growth and other functions. Transpiration is the loss of water vapor from plant surfaces, which helps in nutrient transport and temperature regulation. Reproduction can occur sexually through seeds or asexually through methods like budding or cuttings.
2. How does photosynthesis occur in plants?
Ans. Photosynthesis occurs primarily in the leaves of plants, specifically in the chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll. The process requires sunlight, carbon dioxide from the air, and water absorbed by the roots. During photosynthesis, chlorophyll captures sunlight, which provides the energy needed to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen. The overall equation for photosynthesis can be simplified as: carbon dioxide + water + sunlight → glucose + oxygen.
3. Why is transpiration important for plants?
Ans. Transpiration is important for several reasons. It helps in the movement of water and nutrients from the roots to other parts of the plant. As water evaporates from the leaves, it creates a negative pressure that pulls more water upward from the roots. This process also helps in cooling the plant and maintaining its temperature. Furthermore, transpiration plays a crucial role in the water cycle by returning water vapor to the atmosphere.
4. What are the different ways plants reproduce?
Ans. Plants can reproduce in two main ways: sexual and asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction involves the formation of seeds through the fertilization of ovules by pollen. This can occur through flowers in flowering plants. Asexual reproduction, on the other hand, does not involve seeds. Instead, plants can reproduce through methods such as budding, vegetative propagation (like runners in strawberries), or cuttings, where parts of the plant can grow into new individuals.
5. How do plants obtain nutrients?
Ans. Plants obtain nutrients primarily through their roots from the soil. The roots absorb water and dissolved minerals, which are essential for growth and development. Nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are absorbed by the roots and transported through the plant via the xylem and phloem. Additionally, some plants have adaptations, like root nodules in legumes, which help them to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere, enhancing their nutrient uptake.
