In plants photosynthesis takes place in chloroplast. Stroma is the fluid part which is
seen inside the double membrane of chloroplast. Grana is the pack of membraneous
sacs seen inside the chloroplast. Grana contain pigments like Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b,
carotene and xanthophyll which can absorb sunlight.
However, only chlorophyll a can participate directly in photosynthesis. All other pigments
absorb light and transfer it to chlorophyll a. Hence chlorophyll b, carotene and
Xanthophyll are called accessory pigments.

light is used. But for dark phase, light is not required. During light phase water splits
and oxygen is released, hydrogen reaches stroma. In this phase Light energy is
converted to chemical energy and is stored in ATP. During dark phase, energy in ATP

is used to combine hydrogen and carbon dioxide to produce glucose.

 Light is not used.  Glucose is produced
 ATP is Utilized  Light is used.
 Oxygen is released  ATP is formed

Glucose produced as a result of photosynthesis is easily soluble in water so it cannot
be stored in plant body .Therefore, they store glucose in the form of insoluble starch in
leaves. Plants utilise starch as a source of energy for life activities and to prepare
substances required for growth. Starch is later converted to sucrose and is transported
through phloem to various plant parts. Glucose undergo chemical changes and is
converted to various other nutrients. The stored food is starchin tubers, protein in

legumes, fat in oil seeds, fructose in fruits, and sucrose in sugarcane.

processes. Various enzymes present in these digestive juices help in the
digestion of each nutrient.

Analyse the following reading card and answer the questions.

BLOOD PLASMA
Plasma is the fluid part of blood. It is pale yellow coloured and constitutes 55% of
blood. Blood cells are found in the plasma. 90-92% of plasma is water. 7-8% are
Plasma Proteins. They are Albumin, Globulin, and Fibrinogen. Albumin regulates
blood pressure, Globulin Helps in defence, and Fibrinogen plays a major role in the
coagulation of blood. Other factors like fat, salts, urea, sugar, hormones etc. are also
found in the plasma. The simpler molecules formed as a result of digestion, namely
glucose, amino acids, fatty acids, glycerol etc.,reach cells through the plasma.

Human heart works relentlessly like a pump, and blood flows through blood vessels
continuously in all directions. The upper chambers of the heart are left atrium and right
atrium. Lower chambers are left and right ventricles. The blood vessels carry blood to
the heart chambers and vice versa. There are valves between heart chambers and
blood vessels. Valves prevent the backward flow of blood.

The heart beats continuously with a rhythm. When blood flows from the heart to
different parts of the body and vice versa, it passes twice through the chambers of
the heart. Hence the circulation of blood in humans is said to be double circulation.

Double circulation includes systemic circulation and pulmonary circulation. Systemic
circulation starts from the left ventricle and ends in the right atrium. The circulation
which starts from the right ventricle and ends in the left atrium is called pulmonary
circulation.

Xylem and Phloem are the vascular tissues in plants. Vascular tissues in plants extend
from the roots to leaves, in an interconnected manner. The water and salts that roots
absorb from the soil reach the leaves through xylem. Phloem Conducts food molecules
prepared in the leaf into different parts of the plant.

Water reach the leaves and other parts of the plant through the xylem due to the combined
action of many processes. Osmosis, Transpiration, Root pressure, Cohesion, and
Adhesion are important among them.

Transpiration reduces the pressure in the cells of leaves. In order to compensate this
pressure difference, water enters these cells from adjacent cells through osmosis. The
transpiration pull developed due to transpiration helps to carry water to the top. Cohesion
is the capacity of the water molecules to stick to themselves and adhesion is the capacity
of water molecules to stick to the walls of the vessel and together they help in the
upward movement of the water. Along with these, the root pressure developed due to
the absorption of water by root hairs also help in the smooth raising of water.

BREATHING FOR ENERGY

Concept area : Human respiratory system

Activity-11

Energy is required to do any work. This energy is released in the cells. Oxygen is
needed to release the energy. The respiratory system helps to take oxygen from the
atmospheric air into the body.

arity and function. Observe the illustration and answer the questions.
