| 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. |
37.
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.
38.
Conductors:

Insulators (Non -Conductors) :
(i) The material which do not allow electric charges to pass through them are called insulators or non- conductors.
(ii) Examples: plastic, glass, wood, rubber, chinna clav, ebonite etc.
39.
(i) Computers are used in various fields.
(ii) In textile shop it is used for billing.
(iii) Computers are used to control large and small machines.
(iv) Computers are most important educational tools for teachers and learners.
(v) In Railways it is useful to book tickets and for other purposes.
(vi) It is also used in banks, ATM's, Post offices and in many places.
(vii) We can save many data and convert it into information.

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

47.
a) melting of wax and
d) Solidification of the molten wax can be reversed.
Burning of candle is a physical / reversible change. That is,

49.
(i) Using beakers, the mustard oil is separated by the process of decantation, because oil being lighter than water, floats on water.

53.
No. Deforestation can be an undesirable change. That is, Deforestation is harmful to our environment and not desired by us.
54.
No the cell used in the clock cannot give us an electric shock because the voltage is very low in the cell.
55.
| HEAT | TEMPERATURE |
| i) Heat is an energy | The measurement of warmness or coldness of a substance |
