FAQs on Class 10 Science Chapter 5 Practice Question Answers - Life Processes

1. What is transportation in plants?
Ans. Transportation in plants refers to the movement of water, minerals, and other essential nutrients from the roots to the leaves and other parts of the plant. This process is vital for the growth and survival of the plant.
2. What are the two types of transportation in plants?
Ans. The two types of transportation in plants are: 1. Xylem- It is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the leaves and other parts of the plant. 2. Phloem- It is responsible for transporting food materials from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
3. How does the transportation of water take place in plants?
Ans. The transportation of water in plants takes place through the process of transpiration. The water is absorbed by the root hairs and transported through the xylem to reach the leaves. The water evaporates through the stomata present on the leaves, which creates a suction force that pulls more water from the roots.
4. What are the factors that affect the transportation of water in plants?
Ans. The factors that affect the transportation of water in plants are: 1. Temperature 2. Humidity 3. Wind 4. Light 5. Soil water availability 6. Atmospheric pressure
5. Why is transportation in plants important?
Ans. Transportation in plants is important because it helps in the distribution of essential nutrients and water throughout the plant. This process also helps in maintaining the turgidity and structure of the plant cells, which is essential for the growth and survival of the plant. Additionally, transportation in plants also plays a vital role in the process of photosynthesis, which is necessary for the plant to produce its food.
