Question 5: What are stomata? Give two functions of stomata.
Answer:
Tiny pores present on the leaf surface are known as stomata.

Functions of stomata
*Helps in exchange of gases
*Evaporation of water through leaves occurs due to stomata.

Question 6: Does transpiration serve any useful function in the plants? Explain.
Answer:
 Transpiration serves the following functions in plants
It helps in lowering temperature of plants, thus preventing heat injury of plants.
Helps in transpiration pull, which helps in raining water in higher plants.

Question 7: What are the components of blood?
Answer:
The various components of blood are Red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells(WBC), platelets and plasma.

Question 8: Why is blood needed by all the parts of a body?
Answer:
Blood is a significant part of transport system in our body, and we need blood for the following reasons:

For the transport of oxygen to all parts of our body
To expel out carbon dioxide from our body
To transmit heat thus helping in the regulation of body temperature.
It is required to fight out infections and diseases.

Question 9: What makes the blood look red?
Answer:
Haemoglobin, a red pigment present in the blood makes it look red.

Question 10: Describe the function of the heart.
Answer:
The heart is an organ which beats continuously to act as a pump for the transport of blood, which carries other substances with it. The heart has four chambers. The two upper chambers are called the atria (singular: atrium), and the two lower chambers are called the ventricles. The partition between the chambers helps to avoid mixing up of blood-rich in oxygen with the blood-rich in carbon dioxide. Blood flows from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart from where it is pumped to the rest of the body.

Question 11: Why is it necessary to excrete waste products?
Answer:
When our cells perform their functions, certain waste products are released. These are toxic and hence need to be removed from the body.
