11. Photosynthesis can be represented using a chemical equation. The overall balanced equation is
Sunlight

Or
Desert plants open up their stomata during night and take in CO. Stomata remains close during the
day time to prevent the loss of water by transpiration. They store the CO, in their cells until the sun
comes out and they can carry on with photosynthesis during the day time.
12. When water flows into the guard cells, the guard cells swell and the stomatal pore opens up. When
water moves out the guard cells shrinks and the stomatal pore closes.
Or
The circulatory system will become incíficient if it develops a leak. This could be avoided by maintaining
a normal blood pressure.
13. The saliva contains an enzyme called salivary amylase that breaks down starch.

He classified elements in group of three, such that atomic weight of middle element is average ol first
and third element, e-g, Li (7),
Na(23), K(39).
Limitations:
He could identify only three triads.
He could not arrange the elements
known in the form of traids of those having Similar cneuu
properties. Hence, his classification was not found useful. (Any one)

) Danger Signals are Red. The wavelength of red colour is longer among the other colours of
visible spectrum ofsunlight. According to Rayleigh scattering law (Scattering ),red colour
is least scattered while passing through the atmosphere and therefore, travels large distance,
ie. red colour can be seen through a large distance. Hence, the danger signals make use of red
light.
26. Carobn cannot lose 4 electrons because very high energy is needed. Carbon cannot gain 4 electrons
because 6 protons cannot hold 10 electrons. Hence, carbon can share four electrons to form covalent
bonds.
