| Cell Organelles | Main Functions |
|---|---|
| Cell wall | Surrounds and protects the cell. Make the cell stiff and strong. |
| Cell membrane | Holds and protects the cell. Controls the movement of materials in and out of the cell. |
| Cytoplasm | A watery gel - like material in which cell parts move. |
| Mitochondria | Produce and supply most of the energy for the cell. |
| Chloroplasts | Capture the energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell by photosynthesis. |
38.
PHOTOSYNTHESIS:
Plants manufacture food by a process called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, carbon-dioxide from the air and water from the soil react in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll to produce food.
\(\text { Carbon-di-oxide }+\text { water } \underset{\text { Chlorophyll }}{\stackrel{\text { Sunlight }}{\longrightarrow}} \text { food }+\text { oxygen }\)
RESPIRATIO IN ANIMAL :
When we breathe in air, the oxygen present in the air reacts chemically with digested food within the body to produce carbon-di-oxide gas, water vapour and energy.
Food + Oxygen Carbon-di-oxide + Water + Energy
(i) carbon-di-oxide formed during respiration dissolves in the blood and is exhaled out of the body through the lungs.
(ii) Plants release oxygen during photosynthesis which is much more than the oxygen consumed by the plants, during respiration.
(iii) Thus, the balance of O2 & CO2 in air is maintained.
39.
We get electricity from thermal power, hydel power, tidal power wind power, solar power etc as sources of electricity
Thermal Power stations:
In thermal power stations, the thermal energy generated by burning coal, diesel or gas is used to produce steam. The steam is used to rotate the turbine. While the turbine rotates, the coil of wire kept between the electromagnet rotates. Due to electro magnetic induction electricity is produced. Here heat energy is converted into electrical energy.
Hydel power stations:
In hydel power stations, the turbine is made to rotate by the flow of water from dams to produce electricity. Here kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy. Hydel stations have long economic lives and low operating cost.
Atomic power stations:
In atomic power stations, nuclear energy is used to boil water. Here the steam is used to rotate the turbine. As a result, electricity is produced. Atomic power stations are also called as nuclear power stations. Here nuclear energy is converted into mechanical energy and then electrical energy.
Wind Mills:
In wind mills, wind energy is used to rotate the turbine to produce electricity. Here kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy.
40.

ii) Absorbs water and minerals from the soil.
iii) Stores food in some plants like Carrot and beetroot
FUNCTIONS OF THE STEM:
i) The stem supports the branches, leaves, flowers and fruits.
ii) Transports Water and minerals from roots to upper aerial plant parts.
iii) Transports the prepared food from leaves to other parts through stem.
iv) Stores food as in the case of sugarcane
