6. Give reasons.

a. The pea is a flowering plant.

Answer: The pea is a flowering plant because it bears flowers.

b. The flower is the reproductive part of the plant.

Answer: The flower is the reproductive part of the plant because it produces fruit and seeds and a seed germinate into a new plant.

c. The corolla helps in pollination.

Answer: The corolla helps in pollination because it attracts insects, birds, humans, etc which help in transferring pollen grains.

d. Leaves are green in colour.

Answer: Leaves are green in colour due to the presence of chlorophyll in it.

7. Answer the following questions.

a. What are primary and secondary roots?

Answer: The primary root is the main root which is thick, large and grow deep into the soil. The primary root bears the network of thin roots which are called secondary roots.

b. Write two differences between flowering and non-flowering plants.

Answer: The two differences between flowering and non-flowering plants are as follows:

Flowering Plants	Non-Flowering Plants
1. They bear flowers.	1. They do not bear flowers.
2. They produce fruits and seeds.	2. They do not produce fruits and seeds.

c. Write the differences between monocot and dicot plants.

Answer: The differences between monocot and dicot plants are as follows:

Monocot Plants	Dicot Plants
1. They have only one cotyledon in their seeds.	1. They have two cotyledons in their seeds.
2. They have fibrous root system.	2. They have tap root system.

d. When does a seed germinate?

Answer: A seed germinates when it gets favourable conditions like air, water and sunlight.

e. List two differences between calyx and corolla.

Answer: The two differences between calyx and corolla are as follows:

Calyx	Corolla
1. It is green in colour.	1. It is colourful part of a flower.
2. It protects the bud of a flower.	2. It helps in pollination.

f. Explain the structure of a leaf.

Answer: Leaves are green in colour due to the presence of chlorophyll. Flat green part of leaf is lamina or leaf blade. It is attached to the steam or branch by a short stalk called petiole. The edge of the leaf is called leaf margin. The extension of the stallk through the middle of a leaf is called the midrib. The network from the branches from the midrib is called veins. The front tip of the leaf is called the apex.

g. How does carpel differ from stamen? Write any two.

Answer: Carpel differs from stamen by following ways.

Carpel	Stamen
1. Carpel represents the female reproductive organ.	1. Stamen represents the male reproductive organ.
2. Each carpel has three parts, i.e. Stigma, Style and Ovary.	2. Each stamen has Anther and Filaments.

h. Write any two functions of the followings:

i. Root - The two functions of the roots are as follows:

Name	Functions
Roots	1. Root helps the plant firmly in the soil.
	2. Root absorbs water and minerals from soil to the leaves.

ii. Stem - The two functions of the stem are as follows:

Name	Functions
Stems	1. Stem provide support to plants.
	2. Stem carries water and minerals from roots to leaves.

iii. Leaf - The two functions of the leaf are as follows:

Name	Functions
Leaf	1. In presence of sunlight, all green plants prepare their food in leaves.
	2. The thick and fleshy leaves store food which can be used as food.

d. Flower - The two functions of the flower are as follows:

Name	Functions
Flower	1. Flower produces fruit and seeds.
	2. Flower helps in pollination.

8. Draw a diagram of a flowering plant and a flower.

Fig: Diagram of a Flowering plant.

Fig: Diagram of parts of a flower.

GLOSSARY:

Distinguished - know the difference between things. (#distinguish meaning in Nepali language is भेद देखाउनु.)

Exposed - seen from outside. (#exposed meaning in Nepali language is पर्दाफास, खुला राख्नु, खोल्नु.)

Adventitious - fibrous. (#adventitious meaning in Nepali language is रेशेदार, तंतुमय.)

Vegetative - not involving in reproduction. (#vegetative meaning in Nepali language is प्रजनन् प्रक्रियामा संलग्न नहुने.)

Reproductive - involving in reproduction. (#reproductive meaning in Nepali language is प्रजनन्.)

Reticulate - have network structure. (#reticulate meaning in Nepali language is जालीदार,रेशेदार.)

Venation - network of veins. (#venation meaning in Nepali language is शिराहरुको नेटवर्क/सञ्जाल.)

Extra Important question and answers.

1. What are flowering and non-flowering plants? Write the major parts of flowering plants.

Answer: Plants that bear flowers are called flowering plants and Plants that do not bear any flower is called non flowering plants. The major parts of flowering plants are root, stem, leaves, buds, flower and fruit.

2. What do you mean by root system and shoot system?

Answer: The part of the plant which grows in soil is called the root system. The part of the plant which is above the soil is called the shoot system.

3. What is Calyx?

Answer: The outermost part of a flower which is green in colour is called calyx. The calyx protects the young buds of the flower.

4. What is Corolla?

Answer: The brightest leafy structure of a flower is called corolla. The corolla attracts insects, birds and humans which helps them in transferring pollen grains.

5. What is androecium?

Answer: The male reproductive organ of the flower is called androecium. Androecium contains the male gametes pollen grains.

6. What is gynoecium?

Answer: The female reproductive organ of the flower is called gynoecium. Gynoecium contains the female gametes ovules.

#From above grade class-5 science notes of "Parts of a Flowering Plant" Unit-4, we hope students can define flowering plants and name different parts of a flowering plant. They can explain the function of the different parts of a flowering plant and the parts of a flower too. Students can able to distinguish monocotyledons and dicotyledons.
