The diagram given below represents a plant cell after being placed in a strong sugar solution. Guidelines 1 to 5 indicate the following:
1. Strong sugar solution
2. Cell wall
3. Protoplasm
4. Large vacuole
5. Nucleus
Study the diagram and answer the questions that follow:
(i) What is the state of the cell shown in the diagram?
(ii) Name the structure which acts as a selectively permeable membrane.
(iii) If the cell had been placed in distilled water instead of strong sugar solution which feature would not have been present?
(iv) If the cell in the diagram possessed chloroplasts where would these be present?
(v) Name any one feature of this plant cell which is not present in animal cells.

Explain why:

Raisins swell up in water.

Explain why:

We gargle with saline solution in case of throat infection.

Explain why:

Bacteria and fungi do not grow in pickles, jams, jellies and squashes.

Explain why:

The figure shows a diagrammatic representation of the movement of certain substances inside the stem of a certain plant. Write five sentences on whatever you can explain about the processes or the arrangement of structures indicated in the diagram.
Note: - Each sentence must include one or more of the following four words, and each word can be used several times. Xylem, phloem, roots, leaves.

The diagram given below represents the results of an experiment conducted on two freshly taken leafy shoots of a herbaceous plant. The lower ends of the shoots dip in ordinary water.
(i) What is the aim of the experiment?
(ii) Some parts of the stem in both the shoots have been removed. Name the conducting tissue in shoot (a) and in shoot (b) that has been removed.
(iii) What are the results of this experiment?

Three plants (a), (b) and (c) were placed in beakers containing coloured water. The water in each beaker was covered with a layer of oil. The leaves were removed from plant (b), while plant (c) was exposed to strong light.
(i) In which plant, (a), (b) or (c) would the water move up the fastest?
(ii) In which plant (a), (b) or (c), would the water move up slowly?
(iii) Why was the water covered with a layer of oil?
(iv) What is being investigated by this experiment?
