water and minerals
27.
In the process of photosynthesis, which of the following energy conversions occur?
Solar energy is changed into chemical energy

1.
(a)

Fig. : Pitcher Plant showing lid and pitcher
(b) Autotrophic and Heterotrophic both.
(c) Partial heterotroph.
2.
Soil contains nitrogen in the form that is not usable by plants. Bacteria like Rhizobium converts nitrogen into soluble form that can be easily used Q. by plants. So, if plant has a requirement for nitrogen, then it will obtain that which the help of bacteria.
3.
Nepenthes or pitcher plant modifies its leaf axis into a long tubular pitcher to form a pitfall trap. Inside the pitcher sticky liquid is present. When any insect comes in contact with the leaf, the lid present on it is closed and insect is trapped. The liquid contains digestive enzymes which slowly digest the trapped insects.
4.
Carbohydrates in wheat dough encourage the growth of yeast and other saprophytic fungi which breakdown carbohydrates into simpler compounds like CO2 and alcohol and emit a foul smell.

The following sketch shows that the plants are the ultimate source of food.

6.
( )
Carbon dioxide
7.
( )
photosynthesis
8.
( )
guard cells
9.

13.
( )
Stomata
14.
( )
Pitcher plant (insectivorous plant)
15.
( )
Cuscuta (amarbel)
16.
Insectivorous plants are green and can do photosynthesis so they are called autotrophs. But they also can trap insects and digest them. Due to this, they are called partial heterotrophs.
17.
Rhizobium bacteria can take nitrogen from atmosphere and convert it into a soluble form which is used by that plant in which bacteria live.
18.
The plant of balsam survived on the food stored in the stem and roots.
19.
Carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
20.
Leaves are referred to as food factories of plants. This is because, leaves synthesise food by the process of photosynthesies.
21.

(b) Carbohydrates and oxygen.
(c) Liberated-oxygen, Utilised-carbon dioxide.
(d) All plants cannot do photosynthesis, only green plants can do photosynthesis.
22.
Animals like tiger, wolf, lion and leopard are carnivores and do not eat plants. They hunt and eat herbivorous animals like deer, gaur, bison, zebra, giraffe, etc., which are dependent on plants for food.
If there are no plants, herbivorous animals will not survive and ultimately animals like tiger, wolf, lion and leopard will have nothing to eat.
