Do You Know?

→ We cannot see the real image with our naked eye. But we can catch it on screen. Whereas we can see the virtual image in the mirror with our naked eye. But we cannot catch it on screen.

→ In olden days the concave mirrors can also be used as weapons. Archimedes, a Greek scientist used this mirror as weapon, 2000 years ago. When the Romans attacked Syracus, a coastal City – state in Greece, Archimedes arranged concave mirrors. The mirrors could be moved in any direction. They were positioned such that they reflected the sunlight on the Roman soldiers. The soldiers were dazzled by the sunlight. They did not know what was happening. Roman soldiers got confused and returned back.

→ Convex mirrors are used in Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) for security purpose to get a wider background look. This is to avoid others from over looking at your password.

Answer:

Question 5.
Differentiate male and female flowers.
Answer:

1. Unisexual flowers that contain only androecium are called male flowers.
2. Unisexual flowers that contain only gynoecium are called female flowers.

Question 6.

Answer:

1. Female flowers are not difficult to identify.
2. Notice the flowers on the variety of gourd creepers we grow around our home.
3. Commonly below the petals of the flower are just a stalk found in the male flowers, while in the female flowers, a small berry-like form is seen below the flower which is ready to bear fruit in further days.
4. By observing the presence of that berry-like form, we can identify the female flowers.

7th Class Science 7th Lesson Reproduction in Plants Long Questions and Answers

Question 1.
What is vegetative propagation? Mention different vegetative propagation methods and their examples.
Answer:
Reproduction in plants through vegetative parts such as stem, root, and leaves is called vegetative propagation.

Question 2.
Explain the process of ground layering.
Answer:

Ground Layering

1. Layering is done with branches nearer to the ground.
2. Remove the bark of the stem at one place.
3. Bend the branch into the ground and cover it with soil.
4. Within one month roots will develop from that branch.
5. Separate it from the mother plant and plant it where ever you want.
6. This method is useful to propagate Jasmine, Jaji, Bougainvillea, Strawberry etc. Plants with creeping stem.

Question 3.
What is grafting? Explain the method of grafting.
Answer:
Grafting is a technique where two plants are joined so as to continue their growth together. The upper part of the combined plant is called the scion, while the lower part is called the stock.

Procedure:

1. Remove the bark of the Stock and Scion plants in such a way that removed portions face each other.
2. The parts where bark is removed are joined tightly with the help of a jute twine.
3. Wrap and tie with a polythene paper.
4. After a month, cut the upper part of Stock and lower part in Scion.
5. Within an another month the Scion attaches to the Stock and grows.
6. Now remove the new branches which grow on Stock to facilitate the growth of Scion.

Question 4.
Describe the structure of a flower.
Answer:
Flower is the sexual part of a plant. The green part which connects the flower to stem is called the stalk. The stalk bears a slightly swollen head called Thalamus.

Over the thalamus floral parts are arranged in four whorls.

Calyx:
The green cup shaped leaf like, fused structures that covers the internal parts are Sepals. They are collectively called as Calyx. (Whorl 1)

Corolla:
The white or brightly coloured structures are called Petals. They are collec¬tively called as Corolla. (Whorl 2) .

Androecium:
The soft elongated structures attached to the petals are called Stamens. All the stamens are collectively called Androecium (Whorl 3). This is the male reproductive part of the flower. Each stamen has a swollen structure at the top called Anther.

Gynoecium:
A bulged structure seated on the thalamus is called Ovary which continues into a fine tube like structure Style with a slimy bead like tip called Stigma. These are collectively called the pistil Gynoecium (Whorl 4). This is the female reproductive part of the flower’

Question 5.
Write the differences between Androecium and Gynoecium.
Answer:

Question 6.
Draw the different whorls of a flower.
Answer:

Question 7.
Do you find any relationship between the weight of the seeds and the dispersal mechanism? Discuss with suitable examples.
Answer:

1. I find relationship between the weight of the seeds and the dispersal mechanism.
2. For example : Seeds of calotropis.
   a) These are light and have hairy structure at one end.
   b) So they travel with wind and settle at a suitable place to germinate.
   c) Milk weed, cotton seeds, etc. are all dispersed by wind.
3. Another example : Coconut fruit
4. a) The outer covering of the seed has empty spaces filled with air and are fibrous,
   b) The coconut fruit floats on water and reaches the ground some where. There it germinates. Seeds of lotus is another example.
5. Another example : Neem fruit.
   a) Birds like Bulbuls, Mynahs, crows eat the outer fleshy part gets digested in the food canal and the seed coats of them become tender.

Answer:

Do You Know?

→ You will be amazed that banana contains seeds. The rose plant also has red fruits with seeds. Do you know that Nandivardhanam and Hibiscus also have seeds* There are nuts and seeds in the rose and banana plants that grow wild without human interference in forests. The rose and banana plants that are found in our surroundings have no seeds. Do you know the reason? Our ancestors grew these plants with seeds of the plants with seeds of the plants that were found in the forest.

With the efforts made over many generations to propagate them as plants with favourable characteristics, they became seedless plants.

→ Can you imagine a single plant giving 40 types of fruits such as peaches, apricots, plums, cherries, nectarines and so on? Such types of plants can be produced by Grafting.

Do You Know?

→ In 1752, Franklin conducted the kite experiment to show that lightning was also electricity. He flew a kite during a thunderstorm. He tied a metal key to the string of the kite to conduct the electricity.

→ LED (Light Emitting Device) has two legs. Long leg indicates positive(+ve) and short leg indicates negative (-ve). Early LEDs produced only red light, but modern LEDs can produce several different colors, including red, green and blue light. LEDs are used as indicators in mobiles, laptops, T.V remotes etc.

→ A switch can be placed anywhere in the circuit and a cell can be connected in any direction in the electric circuit.

→ The scientist Oersted discovered that a magnetic field is produced around a current carrying conductor. Electromagnets are made by using the relationship between electricity and magnetism.

→ Michael Faraday made a magnet to revolve around a coil of wire which produced electricity. He invented electric generator or dynamo and transformer.
