Short Answer Type Questions
(26) Ans: The main parts of a plant are: Roots, Stem, Branches, Leaves, Flowers and Fruits.
- The stem of a plant carries water and minerals from the roots to the leaves and other parts of the plant.
(27) Ans: Shrubs are medium size plant and the trees are tall and big plants.
Example of shrubs: Rose.
Example of trees: Mango.
(28) Herbs – Wheat, Carrot, Cabbage
Shrubs – Henna, Bougainvillea, Lemon
Trees – Coconut, Banyan, Eucalyptus
(29) Ans: The main difference between the climber plants and creeper plants is that climber plants have climbing organs like tendrils but creeper plants have no such climbing organs.
Name of climbers – Pea plant, Grape vine

- The main parts of a flower are: Sepals, Petals Stamen and pistil.
(42) Ans: The process by which green plants use sunlight to make food from carbon dioxide and water is called photosynthesis.
- The leaves make food for the plant by the process of photosynthesis.
