TOPIC- MIJBIL THE OTTER, INTEGRATED GRAMMAR

_____________________________________________________________________________

Note: The following questions will be written down in the fair literature notebook.

Q1. What things does Mij do which tell you that he is an intelligent, friendly and fun-loving animal who
needs love?
Ans. Mij plunges and rolls in water. He shoots up and down the bathtub underwater. He makes enough
slosh and splash. He turns the water tap enough to produce a trickle of water. He screws it up tighter. He
plays and juggles small objects between his paws lying on his back. He nuzzles the author’s face and
neck. All these things show that Mij is an intelligent, friendly and fun-loving animal.

Q2. What are some of the things we come to know about otters from this text?
Ans. We know many things about otters. These are : their playing with fun, their opening the water taps,
their love and friendship with the human beings, their other playful activities etc.

Q3. Why is Mij’s species now known to the world as Maxwell’s otter?
Ans. Mij’s species is now known to the world as Maxwell’s otter. It is because before Maxwell’s otter
not much worth the name was known to science. In fact, Mijbil’s race was not known to anyone before
Maxwell had his Mij.

Note: The following questions are for your reference and practise:

Q1. Where did Gavin Maxwell live? What did the author decide to experiment? Why was his
place a suitable place for that experiment?
Ans. Gavin Maxwell lived in Camusfearna.
The author decided to have an otter as a pet instead of a dog.
The author’s place was a suitable place for that experiment because it had water bodies around which
was an otter’s natural habitat.

Q2. Why did the writer stay in Basra?

Ans. The writer and his friend were going to Basra to the Consulate—General to collect and answer
their mails. They found that the mail of his friend was available but the author had to stay in Basra for
five days.

Q3. What special characteristic of Mijbil did Maxwell learn after he took it to the bathroom?
Ans. When Maxwell took Mijbil to the bathroom, he learnt that he went wild with joy in water,
plunging and rolling in it and splashed it all around.

Q4. What did the otter look like?

Ans. The otter looked like a very small dragon. Its appearance was very pretty. It was coated with
pointed scales of mud on its back. It was spread with mud all over its body.

Q5. What happened when Maxwell decided to transport Mijbil to England by air?
Ans. When Maxwell decided to transport Mijbil to England, Mijbil was kept into a box. He tore off the
box and wounded himself. Then Mijbil disappeared down the aircraft, terrorizing the other passengers.
After that, he settled on Maxwell’s knee and gave no further inconvenience to others.

Q6. Why did Maxwell call the airhostess “the very queen of her kind”?
Ans. Maxwell was worried about Mijbil’s welfare. Mijbil was exhausted and wounded. His condition
was miserable inside the box. Maxwell wanted Mijbil to be free. The airhostess allowed him to have
Mijbil on his knee. Out of gratitude for her sympathy and kindness, the author said so.

Note: The following exercises will be done in the fair language notebook as classwork.

HINDI LITERATURE TERM-I, ASSIGNMENT- 16
TOPIC – Manushyata

कविता का सार – राष्ट्रकवि श्री मैवथलीशरण गुप्त द्वारा रवचत ‘मनुष्यता’ कविता प्रत्येक युगक काल ंिप िसरवतथवत म
प्रासपवगक है क्योंकक यह मनुष्यता के गुणों की व्याख्या करती है । िृथ्िी के सभी जीिधासरयों म मनुष्य को सिोत्तम माना गया
है क ककतु उसकी यह सिोत्कृ ष्टता के िल मानि का रूि भर धारण करने से सपिूणण नहीं होती बवकक अिने अपतर्नन वहत मानिता
के गुणों से मानि मात्र का उद्धार करने से होती है । कवि इवतहास ंिप िुराणों का उदाहरण देते हुं मनुष्य मात्र को यही
समझाने की कोवशश करते हैं कक मानि जन्म तभी साथणक है जब िह वनज से िूिण औरों के काम आं ।

प्रश्नोत्तर लेखन
प्रश्न 1 – ‘मनुष्यता’ कविता म कवि ने क्यों कहा है कक हम मृत्यु से नहीं डरना चावहं?
उत्तर – ‘मनुष्यता’ कविता म कवि ने कहा है कक मृत्यु से नहीं डरना चावहं क्योंकक मृत्यु तो वनवित है इसे कोई भी टाल
नहीं सकता। वजसने इस धरती िर जन्म वलया है उसे ंक न ंक कदन मरना ही है।

प्रश्न 2 – कै से मनुष्यों का जीना और मरना दोनों बेकार है और क्यों?

उत्तर – जो मनुष्य दूसरों के वलं कु छ भी ना कर सक, उनका जीना और मरना दोनों बेकार है । िह मनुष्य मर कर भी कभी
नहीं मरता जो अिने वलं नहीं दूसरों के वलं जीता है, क्योंकक अिने वलं तो जानिर भी जीते हैं। कवि के अनुसार मनुष्य
िही है जो दूसरे मनुष्यों के वलं मरे अथाणत जो मनुष्य दूसरों की चचता करे िही असली मनुष्य कहलाता है।

प्रश्न 3 – ‘मनुष्यता’ कविता के आधार िर असली या सच्चा मनुष्य कौन है?

उत्तर – ‘मनुष्यता’ कविता के आधार िर असली मनुष्य िही है जो दूसरों के वलं जीना ि मरना सीख ले। मनुष्य िही
कहलाता है जो दूसरों की चचता करे । सच्चा मनुष्य िही है जो त्याग का भाि जान ले। अतः हम दूसरों का िरोिकार ि
ककयाण करना चावहं। सभी मनुष्य भाई – बपधु हैं और मनुष्य िही है जो दुःख म दूसरे मनुष्यों के काम आये।
जो मनुष्य आिसी समझ को बनाये रखता है और भेदभाि को बढ़ािा नहीं देता , ऐसी सोच िाला मनुष्य ही अिना और
दूसरों का ककयाण और उद्धार कर सकता है। कहने का तात्ियण यह है कक जो अिने तिाथण के वलं नहीं बवकक सभी के ककयाण
के वलं सोचता है िही मनुष्य सच्चा मनुष्य कहलाता है।

प्रश्न 4 – मनुष्य को उदार क्यों बनना चावहं?

उत्तर – मनुष्य को सदा उदार बनना चावहं क्योंकक उदार मनुष्यों का हर जगह गुण गान होता है। उदार व्यवि हर जगह
सम्मान िाता है। िूरी धरती उस महान व्यवि की आभारी रहती है। उस व्यवि की बातचीत उसके मरने के बाद भी हमेशा
जीवित व्यवि की तरह की जाती है और िूरी सृवष्ट उसकी िूजा करती है।

प्रश्न 5 – िुराणों म ककन लोगों के उदाहरण हैं?

उत्तर – िुराणों म उन लोगों के बहुत उदाहरण हैं। वजन्होंने अिना िूरा जीिन दूसरों के वलं त्याग कदया वजस कारण उन्ह
आज तक याद ककया जाता है। भूख से िरे शान रप वतदेि ने अिने हाथ की आवखरी थाली भी दान कर दी थी और महर्नि
दधीवच ने तो अिने िूरे शरीर की हवियााँ िज्र बनाने के वलं दान कर दी थी। उशीनर देश के राजा वशवि ने कबूतर की जान
बचाने के वलं अिना िूरा मापस दान कर कदया था। िीर कणण ने अिनी ख़ुशी से अिने शरीर का किच और कुप डल दान कर
कदया था।

प्रश्न 6 – मनुष्यों के मन म कै से भाि होने चावहं?

उत्तर – मनुष्यों के मन म दया ि करुणा का भाि होना चावहं ,यही सबसे बड़ा धन है। तियप ईश्वर भी ऐसे लोगों के साथ
रहते हैं । इसका सबसे बड़ा उदाहरण महात्मा बुद्ध हैं वजनसे लोगों का दुःख नहीं देखा गया तो िे लोक ककयाण के वलं
दुवनया के वनयमों के विरुद्ध चले गं। इसके वलं क्या िूरा सपसार उनके सामने नतमततक नहीं हुआ। अथाणत उनके दया भाि
ि िरोिकार के कारण आज भी उनको याद ककया जाता है और उनकी िूजा की जाती है।

प्रश्न 7 – कवि के अनुसार कभी सपिवत्त या यश िर घमपड क्यों नहीं करना चावहं?
उत्तर – कवि के अनुसार भूल कर भी कभी सपिवत्त या यश िर घमपड नहीं करना चावहं। इस बात िर कभी गिण नहीं करना
चावहं कक हमारे साथ हमारे अिनों का साथ है क्योंकक कवि कहते हैं कक इस धरती िर कोई भी व्यवि अनाथ नहीं है ,उस
ईश्वर का साथ सब के साथ है। िह बहुत दयािान है और उसका हाथ सबके ऊिर रहता है।
कवि के अनुसार िह व्यवि भाग्यहीन है जो इस प्रकार का उतािलािन रखता है क्योंकक मनुष्य िही व्यवि कहलाता है जो
इन सब चीजों से ऊिर उठ कर सोचता है। क्योंकक हम सब उस ंक ईश्वर की सपतान हैं। हम भेद-भाि से ऊिर उठ कर
सोचना चावहं।

प्रश्न 8 – ‘मनुष्यता’ कविता के आधार िर समझाइं कक देिता कै से मनुष्यों का तिागत करते हैं?
उत्तर – ‘मनुष्यता’ कविता के आधार िर उस कभी न समाप्त होने िाले आकाश म असपख्य देिता खड़े हैं, जो िरोिकारी ि
दयालु मनुष्यों का सामने से खड़े होकर अिनी भुजाओं को फै लाकर तिागत करते हैं। इसवलं कविता म बताया गया है कक
दूसरों का सहारा बनो और सभी को साथ म लेकर आगे बढ़ो।
कवि कहते हैं कक सभी कलपक रवहत हो कर देिताओं की गोद म बैठो अथाणत यकद कोई बुरा काम नहीं करोगे तो देिता तुम्हे
अिनी गोद म ले लगे। अिने मतलब के वलं नहीं जीना चावहं अिना और दूसरों का ककयाण ि उद्धार करना चावहं
क्योंकक इस मरणशील सपसार म मनुष्य िही है जो मनुष्यों का ककयाण करे ि िरोिकार करे ।

प्रश्न 9 – मनुष्यता कविता के आधार िर मानि जावत के वलं सबसे बड़ा अनथण क्या है और क्यों?
उत्तर – ‘मनुष्यता’ कविता के अनुसार मानि जावत के वलं सबसे बड़ा अनथण ंक भाई का दूसरे भाई को कष्ट म देखते हुं भी
उसकी मदद न करना है। क्योंकक सभी मनुष्य आिस म भाई – भाई हैं। इस सबसे बड़ा प्रमाण यह है कक सबको जन्म देने
िाला ईश्वर ंक है। िुराणों म भी इस बात के प्रमाण हैं कक सृवष्ट का रचनाकार िही ंक है। इतना जानने के बाद भी कोई
मनुष्य दूसरे मनुष्य की अथाणत् अिने भाई की मदद न करे और उसकी दुःख – िेदना को दूर न करे तो िह सबसे बड़ा अनथण
हैं। ऐसा करके मनुष्य अिनी मनुष्यता को कलपककत करता है।

प्रश्न 10 – मनुष्यता कविता म कवि ने अवभष्ट मागण ककसे कहा है और क्यों?

उत्तर – मनुष्यता कविता म कवि ने अवभष्ट मागण ंक दूसरे की बाधाओं को दूर करके आगे बढ़ने को कहा है। मनुष्यों को
अिनी इच्छा से चुने हुं मागण म ख़ुशी- ख़ुशी चलना चावहं ,रातते म कोई भी सपकट या बाधांाँ आये , उन्ह हटाते चले
जाना चावहं। मनुष्यों को यह ध्यान रखना चावहं कक आिसी समझ न वबगड़े और भेद भाि न बड़े। वबना ककसी तकण –
वितकण के सभी को ंक साथ ले कर आगे बढ़ना चावहं तभी यह सपभि होगा कक मनुष्य दूसरों की उन्नवत और ककयाण के
साथ अिनी समृवद्ध भी कायम करे क्योंकक मनुष्य िही कहलाता है जो अिने से िहले दूसरों के कष्टों की चचता करता है।

प्रश्न 11 – मनुष्यता कविता म दी गई वसख को आि आधुवनक समय म ककतना महत्िूणण मानते हैं?
उत्तर – मनुष्यता कविता हम सच्चा मनुष्य बनने की राह कदखाती है। मनुष्य को इस कविता द्वारा सभी मनुष्यों के अिना भाई
मानने , उनकी भलाई करने और ंकता बनाकर रखने की सीख दी गई है। कविता के अनुसार सच्चा मनुष्य िही है जो सभी
को अिना समझते हुं दूसरों की भलाई के वलं ही जीता और मरता है। िह दूसरों के साथ उदारता से रहता है और मानिीय
ंकता को दृढ़ करने के वलं प्रयासरत रहता है। िह खुद उन्नवत के िथ िर चलकर दूसरों को भी आगे बढ़ने की प्रेरणा देता है।
आधुवनक समय म इस कविता की प्रासपवगकता और भी बढ़ जाती है क्योंकक आज दुवनया म तिाथणिृवत्त, अहपकार, लोभ, ईष्याण,
छल-किट आकद बढ़ रहा है वजससे मनुष्य – मनुष्य म दूरी बढ़ रही है।

TOPIC: HUMAN EYE

SUB-TOPIC: (i) Functioning of the human eye
(ii) Colour perception
(iii) Power of Accommodation
(iv) Defects of vision
Functioning of the human eye:Light rays enter the eye through the cornea. The rays are bent, refracted, and
focused by the cornea, lens, and the vitreous humour. The main function of the lens is to focus the light rays
sharply on the retina. It is the outer surface of the cornea where most of the refraction of light occurs. Iris and
pupil control the size of the pupil and the amount of light respectively. Since the eye lens is convex in nature, the
resulting image is real, small, and inverted. This image is formed on the retina.
The retina converts these light rays into electrical signals with the help of light sensitive cells. These signals are
sent to the brain via translated and perceived objects in an erect or upright position. The head of the optic nerve is
devoid of photosensitive cells. Hence, no image is formed at that point called the blind spot of the eye.
On sunny days, when you enter a dimly lit room, you are unable to see clearly for a moment. Why does this
happen?
In bright light, the iris expands, thereby contracting the pupil. This happens so that only a small quantity of light
enters the eye. As a result, the retina is protected from exposure to excessive light. On entering a dimly lit room
after having been in the sun for some time, the iris contracts slowly to expand the pupil. Gradually, more light is
able to enter the eye. Hence, it takes a few seconds before we are able to see the objects present in the dimly lit
room.
Colour perception:
Have you wondered how do we see colour?
Retina consists of two types of light sensitive cells – rod cells and cone cells. The rod shaped cells respond to the
intensity or brightness of the focused light whereas the cone shaped cells of the retina respond to the colours.
Thus, the cone cells of the retina make colour perception possible. A person having defective cone cells is not
able to distinguish between the different colours. This defect is known as Colour Blindness.
Power Of Accommodation:
Have you wondered why the eye is able to focus the images of objects lying at various distances?
It is made possible because the focal length of the human lens can change i.e.
increase or decrease, depending on the distance of objects. It is the ciliary
muscles that can modify the curvature of the lens to change its focal
length.To see a distant object clearly, the focal length of the lens should be
larger. For this, the ciliary muscles relax to decrease the curvature and
thereby increase the focal length of the lens. Hence, the lens becomes thin.
This enables you to see the distant object clearly.
To see the nearby objects clearly, the focal length of the lens should be
shorter. For this, the ciliary muscles contract to increase the curvature and
thereby decrease the focal length of the lens. Hence, the lens becomes thick.
This enables you to see the nearby objects clearly.
The ability of the eye lens to adjust its focal length accordingly as the object
distances is called power of accommodation.
The minimum distance of the object by which clear distinct image can be obtained on the retina is called least
distance of distinct vision. It is equal to 25 cm for a normal eye. The focal length of the eye lens cannot be
decreased below this minimum limit of object distance.
The far point of a normal eye is infinity. It is the farthest point up to which the eye can see objects clearly.
The range of vision of a normal eye is from 25 cm to infinity.
The loss of power of accommodation of an eye results in the defects of vision.
There are three defects of vision called refractive defects. They are myopia, hypermetropia, and presbyopia.
1. Myopia (short sightedness)
Myopia is a defect of vision in which a person clearly sees all the nearby objects, but is unable to see the distant
objects comfortably and his eye is known as a myopic eye. A myopic eye has its far point nearer than infinity. It
forms the image of a distant object in front of its retina.
2. Hypermetropia (Long sightedness)
Hypermetropia is a defect of vision in which a person can see distant objects clearly and distinctively, but is not able to see
nearby objects comfortably and clearly. A hypermetropic eye has its least distance of distinct vision greater than 25 cm.
3. Presbyopia (Ageing vision defect)
Presbyopia is a common defect of vision, which generally occurs at old age. A person suffering from this type of
defect of vision cannot see nearby objects clearly and distinctively. A presbyopic eye has its near point greater
than 25 cm and it gradually increases as the eye becomes older.
Q1. What is the far point and near point of the human eye with normal vision?
Ans. For a human eye with normal vision the far point is at infinity and the near point is at 25 cm from the eye.
Q2. A student has difficulty reading the blackboard while sitting in the last row. What could be the defect the
child is suffering from?
Ans. The student is suffering from myopia or short-sightedness.
Q3. The human eye can focus objects at different distance by adjusting the focal length of the eye lens. This is
due to
(a) Presbyopia (b) accommodation (c) near-sightedness (d) far-sightedness
Ans. (b) accommodation.
Q4. The human eye forms the image of an object at its
(a) Cornea (b) iris (c) pupil (d) retina
Ans. (d) retina.
Q5. The change in focal length of an eye lens is caused by the action of the
(a) Pupil (b) retina (c) ciliary muscles (d) iris
Ans. (c) ciliary muscles
Q6. How is the eye lens held in its position?
Ans. Ciliary muscles hold the eye in position.
Q7. Which part of the eye controls the amount of the light entering the eye?
Ans. The pupil.
Q8. Which liquid fills the space behind the cornea?
Ans. The aqueous humour
Q9. Why is blind spot so called?
Ans. An image formed at this point is not sent to the brain
Q10. Name the delicate membrane in the eye having enormous number of light sensitive cells.
Ans. The retina
Q11. What is a function of choroids?
Ans. It contains black pigment, which avoids internal reflections within the eye.
Q12. What is aqueous humour ? Where is it found in the eye ball? State its two functions.
Ans. Aqueous humour, is a saline, watery fluid, transparent in nature. It fills in anterior part of the eye between
the cornea and eye lens.
Functions : (i) It prevents the anterior part of eye ball from collapsing due to the change in atmospheric
pressure. (ii) It keeps the cornea moist and prevents it from atmospheric change.

Topic: Some important compounds and their uses

Plaster of Paris (POP):

1. Its chemical name is Calcium sulphate hemihydrate.

2. Its Molecular formulae is CaSO4. ½ H2O.
3. It is a white powder.
4. Preparation: When Gypsum is heated around 100oC/ 373K gets converted to
Plaster to Paris.

CaSO4. 2H2O + Heat (100oC/ 373K) ----------CaSO4. ½ H2O.

Note: Temperature should be properly maintained during the course of reaction

because if the temperature reaches to 200oC, all the water molecules will be
removed and anhydrous calcium sulphate will be obtained.

Anhydrous calcium sulphate is called Dead burnt plaster or anhydrite.

Uses: 1. Used by doctors for supporting fractured bones in the right position.

2. Used for making fire- proof materials.

3. Used for making toys, materials for decoration, sculptures and for making
the surfaces smooth.

Q. How Plaster of Paris is converted to Gypsum?

Ans: Plaster of Paris when comes in contact with moisture or water vapour gets
converted to a hard solid mass known as gypsum.

CaSO4. ½ H2O + 3/2 H2O ------------- CaSO4. 2H2O

Q. Why Plaster of Paris should be kept in moisture proof containers? (NCERT)

Ans: Plaster of Paris when comes in contact with moisture gets converted to a
hard solid mass known as gypsum.

CaSO4. ½ H2O + 3/2 H2O ------------- CaSO4. 2H2O

This means that Plaster of Paris can no longer be useful either for supporting
fractured bones or in making moulds.

Efflorescence: Certain hydrated salts when kept exposed to open air at room
temperature lose their water of crystallization partially or fully and become
anhydrous. They are called efflorescent substances and the phenomenon is called
efflorescence.

Example: Na2CO3.10H2O, CuSO4. 5H2O

Deliquescence: Certain substances when kept exposed to atmosphere at room

temperature absorbs moisture. They initially become wet, lose their water of
crystallization and finally dissolves in the moisture to form a solution. This
phenomenon is called deliquescence and the substances are called deliquescent
substances.

Example: NaOH, KOH etc.

Hygroscopy: Certain substances when kept exposed to atmosphere at room

temperature absorbs moisture but do not dissolve in that moisture. Such

substances are called hygroscopic substances and the phenomenon is called
hygroscopy.

Example: Silica gel, CaO, Concentrated Sulphuric acid etc.

TOPIC: HOW DO ORGANISMS REPRODUCE
SUB-TOPIC: Sexual Reproduction (NCERT pg no133)
Why sexual mode of reproduction? (NCERT pg no133)
(a)Sexual reproduction in flowering plants (NCERT pg no133)

Sexual Reproduction:
The mode of reproduction that takes place with the involvement of two individuals of two different sexes
i.e. male and female. During sexual reproduction, male organism having male sex organs produces male
gametes i.e. sperms which are small and motile and the female organism having female sex organs produces
ova which are generally large and store food. Male and female gametes fuse to form a zygote that grows into a
new organism.
Significance :
Sexual reproduction involves DNA as well as cellular apparatus of two different organisms which promotes
diversity of characters in the offspring. Since gametes are derived from two different organisms, it results in a
new combination of genes which increases the chances of genetic variations. Sexual reproduction results in
the origin of new species.
Sexual reproduction involves division in the sex organs that reduces the DNA matter to half so that zygote
formed after fusion has the same amount of DNA as the parents it maintains DNA in a species.

Sexual reproduction in flowering plants

The parts of the flower are sepals, petals, stamens and carpels.
Sepals are green structures that protect the inner parts when the flower is in bud stage.
Petals are colourful and attract the insects for pollination.
The reproductive parts are present in the flower.
Stamens are male reproductive parts and produce pollen grains that contain male gametes. Each stamen
has two parts—Filament i.e. stalk and Anther i.e. swollen top part which has large number of pollen
grains.
The carpel is the female reproductive part and produces ovules that contain female gametes. It has three
parts—Stigma which is top sticky part and receives pollen grains during pollination. Style which is the
middle long part and ovary which is the swollen part and contains ovules. Each ovule has an egg cell i.e.
female gamete.
The flowers may be bisexual i.e. having both stamens and carpels for example; Mustard China Rose
(Hibiscus).
The flower may be unisexual i.e. paving either stamens or carpels for example; Papaya, Watermelon.

Pollination: The process of transfer of pollen grains from an anther to the stigma of the flower is pollination.
Two types of pollination are:
(i) Self-pollination:
The transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of the same flower or another flower of the
same plant.
(ii) Cross-pollination:
The transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of another flower or another flower of a
different plant of the same species. It generally takes place with the help of some agents like insects, birds,
wind and water.

Fertilization:
Fertilization is the process of fusion of male and female gamete to form a zygote during sexual reproduction.
Pollination is followed by fertilisation in plants. The events are:- Pollen grains land on the stigma of the
ovary. Pollen tubes grow out of the pollen grains, travel through the style and reach the ovary, through
micropyle. Pollen tube has two male germ cells. Each ovule has two polar nuclei and a female germ cell (egg).
Pollen tube releases two male germ cells inside the ovule, one of them fuses with female germ cell and forms
a zygote which grows into the baby plant i.e. embryo, the fusion is known as syngamy. The other male germ
cell fuses with two polar nuclei, the process is known as triple fusion.
So in flowering plants two fusions involving male gametes take place during fertilisation. It is called double
fertilisation.
 Structure of embryo sac prior to fertilization.

 One sperm cell fertilizes the egg cell and the other combines with the central cell formed by unification
of two polar nuclei (n+n=2n).
 Haploid sperm (n) + Haploid Egg (n) → Diploid Zygote (2n)
 Haploid sperm (n) + Binucleate central cell (2n) → Triploid Endosperm (3n) ( Triple fusion)

Post-fertilisation changes:

After fertilisation the following changes takes place in the flower. Zygote divides several times and forms an
embryo inside the ovule. The ovule develops a tough coat and changes into the seed. The ovary grows rapidly
and ripens to form a fruit. Petals, sepals, stamens, style and stigma shrivel and fall off.

Seed and its parts:

The advantage of seed coat is that it protects the future plant i.e. embryo.
Seed has two parts---- Cotyledons and Embryo
Cotyledons store food for the future plant.
Embryo has two parts-- plumule and radicle.
Plumule develops into shoot and radicle develops into root.
The process of development of a seedling from the embryo under appropriate conditions is known as
germination.

Solve the following Questions in the class work note book.

NCERT book pg 140 Q 1

Q1. In a germinating seed, which parts are known as future shoot and future root?
Write the function of cotyledon.
Q2. Draw a longitudinal section of a flower and label the following parts:--
(i) Part that is sticky to trap
(ii) Part that transfers male gametes
(iii) Part that produces male gametes
(iv) Part that develops into a fruit

Q4. Give two examples of unisexual flowers.
Q5. (i) Write the differences between pollination and fertilization.
(ii) Mention the site and product of fertilization in a flower.
(iii) Draw a neat labelled diagram of a pistil showing pollen tube growth and its entry into the ovule.
