Plants reduce water loss by closing their stomata, developing thick cuticles, or by possessing leaf hairs to increase the boundary layer.
i) The stomata are the primary control mechanisms that plants use to reduce water loss and they are able to do so quickly. Stomata are sensitive to the environmental cues that trigger the stomata to open or close. Some plant species have stomata on both sides of the leaf while others have stomata on the lower leaf surface to minimize water loss. Special cells called guard cells control each pore’s opening or closing. When stomata are open, transpiration rates increase; when they are closed, transpiration rates decrease. Stomata are the only way plants can control transpiration rates in the short-term.
ii) The boundary layer is a thin layer of still air hugging the surface of the leaf. This layer of air is not moving. For transpiration to occur, water vapor leaving the stomata must diffuse through this motionless layer to reach the atmosphere where the water vapor will be removed by moving air. The larger the boundary layer, the slower the rates of transpiration. Plants can alter the size of their boundary layers around leaves through a variety of structural features. Leaves that possess many hairs or pubescence will have larger boundary layers; the hairs serve as mini-wind breaks by increasing the layer of still air around the leaf surface and slowing transpiration rates. Some plants possess stomata that are sunken into the leaf surface, dramatically increasing the boundary layer and slowing transpiration. Boundary layers increase as leaf size increases, reducing rates of transpiration as well.
iii) The cuticle is the waxy layer present on all above-ground tissue of a plant and serves as a barrier to water movement out of a leaf. Because the cuticle is made of wax, it is very hydrophobic; therefore, water does not move through it very easily. The thicker the cuticle layer on a leaf surface, the slower the transpiration rate. Cuticle thickness varies widely among plant species. In general, plants from hot, dry climates have thicker cuticles than plants from cool, moist climates. In addition, leaves that develop under direct sunlight will have much thicker cuticles than leaves that develop under shade conditions. Sun leaves have much thicker cuticles than shade leaves causing slower rates of transpiration.

Conventional energy sources includes oil, gas and coal. These conventional sources are usually fossil fuels. Their use leads to increased greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental damage.These sources of energy are also called non renewable sources. These sources of energy are in limited quantity except hydro-electric power. These include commercial (coal, petroleum, electricity etc..) and non-commercial (fire wood, straw, dried dung etc..)

- Unicellular organisms generally divide by asexual reproduction which involves budding, binary fission, multiple fission, fragmentation, spore formation.
- Multicellular organisms can divide by sexual as well as asexual methods. For example, vegetative propagation in all plants is a means of asexual reproduction while all higher animals reproduce sexually.

Despite good rains, we are not able to meet the demand for water of all people because:
(i) Our population is increasing rapidly.
(ii) Due to lack of sufficient vegetation cover on ground, only a little rain water seeps into the ground and get stored as ground water.
(iii) The high yielding varieties of crops require much more water for irrigation.
(iv) Discharge of untreated sewage and industrial waste into water bodies.

- The intestinal juice secreted by the walls of the small intestine breaks down starch and carbohydrates into simple sugars. These sugars are known as glucose. It also converts the proteins into amino acids.
- All these simple, broken down forms are called the digested food.

General definition of power is “ it is the the capacity to do something in a particular way ”
but in physics , “it is the rate of energy consumed with respect to time.”
now you can say, “electric power is the rate at which electrical energy consumed in a electric circuit. ”
i.e., electric power = electrical energy consumed/time taken to consumed energy.
from Joule law,
electrical energy/heat consumed during time t = i²Rt
so, electric power = i²Rt/t = i²R
from ohm's law, V = iR
so, electric power = (V/R)²R = V²/R
hence, electric power in term of V and R is given by, P = V²/R

- The process of growing many plants from one plant by man - made methods is called artificial propagation of plants.
- The three common methods for the artificial propagation of plants are : a) Cutting b) Layering and c) Grafting.
a) Cutting: A small part of a plant which is removed by making a cut with a knife is called cutting. A cutting may be a piece of stem, root or even to a leaf. Eg: Rose, Bougainvillia, Sugarcane, Banana, etc.
b) Layering: In Layering a branch of the plant with at least one node is bent towards the ground and a part of it is covered with moist soil leaving the tip of the branch exposed above the ground.
After sometime, new roots develop from the part of the branch buried in the soil. The branch is then cut off from the parent plant. Eg: Nerium, Hibiscus.
c) Grafting: In grafting two plants are joined together in such a way that two stems join and grow as a single plant. Eg : Mango, Citrus, Apple, Rose, etc.

The process of growing many plants from one plant by man-made methods is
called artificial propagation.
The three common methods of artificial propagation are:
|
Cutting |
A small part of a plant which is removed by making a cut with a sharp knife is called cutting. Example - rose. |
|
|
Layering |
In this method, a branch of the plant is pulled towards the ground and a part of it is covered with moist soil leaving the tip of the branch exposed above the ground. After some time, new roots develop from the part of the branch buried in the soil. The branch is then cut off from the parent plant. The part of the plant which has developed roots grows to become new plant. Example - Jasmine plant. |
|
|
Grafting |
Grafting is the method in which cut stems of two different plants are joined together in such a way that the two stems join and grow as a single plant. The cut stem of a plant having roots is called stock whereas the cut stem of another plant without roots is called scion. |

When ferrous sulfate is heated strongly it undergoes decomposition to form ferric oxide as a main product accompanied by a change in color from green to yellow. The color of ferrous sulphate crystals are green and after heating, the color becomes white (pale yellow). On heating, ferrous sulphate crystals lose water and anhydrous ferrous sulphate (FeSO4) is formed. So their colour changes from light green to white. On further heating, anhydrous ferrous sulphate decomposes to form ferric oxide (Fe2O3), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and sulphur trioxide (SO3).

When electric current is supplied to a purely resistive conductor, the energy of electric current is dissipated entirely in the form of heat and as a result, resistor gets heated. The heating of resistor because of dissipation of electrical energy is commonly known as Heating Effect of Electric Current. Some examples are as follows:
When electric energy is supplied to an electric bulb, the filament gets heated because of which it gives light. The heating of electric bulb happens because of heating effect of electric current.
When an electric iron is connected to an electric circuit, the element of electric iron gets heated because of dissipation of electric energy, which heats the electric iron. The element of electric iron is a purely resistive conductor. This happens because of heating effect of electric current.

Capillaries are tiny blood vessels connecting arteries to veins. These blood vessels carry oxygen and nutrients to individual cells.
The capillaries are very thin and highly branched. THis helps in diffusion of gases with all parts of the body as well as helps the supply of blood to every small part of the body.

In plants, reproduction is carried out via two modes:
- Asexual Mode – New plants are obtained without producing seeds
- Sexual Mode – New plants are obtained from seeds.
