5. Answer the following:

Question a.
Why is the camel called the ‘ship of the desert’?
Answer:

  1. Camel lives in a desert easily due to following adaptations. It has long legs and cushioned soles which keep the body of camel above the sand and cushioned soles do not allow to sink in sand while walking.
  2. The nostrils are protected by folds of skin.
  3. The eyelashes are long and thick.
  4. It has hump which stores fats so it helps camel to survive in desert for many days without food and water.

Due to above adaptations camel is used to carry people and transport goods from one place to another place in the desert. Therefore, camel is called the ship of the desert.

Question b.
How can the plants like cactus and acacia live in deserts with scarce water?
Answer:
The plants like cactus and acacia live in deserts with scarce water due to the following adaptations.

  1. Leaves are like small needles or have been modified into thorns, as a result they lose very little water by evaporation.
  2. The stem stores water and food so it is fleshy.
  3. The stems are green as they perform photosynthesis in the absence of leaves.
  4. Their roots penetrate deep into the soil in search of water.
  5. There is a thick layer of a waxy substance on the stems.

Question c.
What is the inter-relationship between adaptations of organisms and their surroundings?
Answer:
1. Adaptations of organisms depend on the changes in the surroundings.

2. To adjust with those changes in the surroundings adaptation takes place gradually and continuously in organisms.

3. Changes that take place in the various organs and life processes of organisms, enable them to live, feed, reproduce to perpetuate themselves and to protect themselves from their enemies in specific surroundings, depending upon the habitat and its geographical conditions, are called adaptations.

Question d.
How are organisms classified?
Answer:

  1. Different scientists have used different criteria and independently classified plants and animals.
  2. A hierarchy is formed in the classification that starts with kingdom Animalia or kingdom Plantae, further groups and sub-groups are formed depending upon basic similarities and differences.
  3. This is called the ‘hierarchy of classification’.
  4. Binomial nomenclature is used to identify each organism. Accordingly, a scientific name has been assigned to each organism.
  5. It consists of two parts – first part is ‘genus’ and second ‘species’.
  6. All identified organisms have been assigned a binomial name as per the guidelines of the International code of Nomenclature. For e.g.
GenusSpecies
MangoMangiferaIndica
HumanHomoSapiens

Question 3.
Explain the terms Autotrophic and Parasitic
Answer:
1. Plants which are able to produce their own food with the help of the process of photosynthesis are called autotrophic plants eg. All green plants.

2. Plants which are not able to produce their own food but depend upon other plants for their nutrition are called parasitic plants They are leafless and non green in colour eg. Dodder (cuscuta). They have haustorial (sucking) roots for absorbing nutrients from the host plant.

Give scientific reasons:

Question 1.
Leaves of some aquatic plants are thin and slender like a ribbon.
Answer:
Leaves of some aquatic plants are thin and slender like a ribbon because this shape helps them to withstand fast currents of water.

Question 2.

Answer the following questions:

Question 1.
Arc the plants and animals from Kashmir and Rajasthan of the same type? Can you elaborate on any differences between the two?
Answer:
Plants and animals from Kashmir and Rajasthan are of different types.
Differences in plants:

  1. Plants of Kashmir, which is a snowy region, are conical in shape due to their sloping branches.
  2. This shape prevents the snow accumulation on the tree and the thick bark helps the tree to withstand the cold.
