Cell organelles are small active living structures found in cytoplasm of cell. Each organelle has different structure and performs different function for cell. They are endoplasmic reticulum, Plastides, Mitochondria, Ribosomes, Golgi bodies, Centrosomes, Lysosomes, Vacoules.

Question 4.
What is meant by protoplasm?
Answer:
The cytoplasm surrounded by the cell membrane and enclosing the nucleus together constitute the protoplasm. Protoplasm in other words, includes the cell membrance, the nucleus and the Cytoplasm.

Question 5.
Name four elements which form major part of protoplasm?
Answer:
Ninety nine percent of protoplasm by its weight is made up of four elements. Namely; Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Oxygen. It also contains other elements such as H20, Carbohydrates, fats, proteins and mineral acids. Both elements and compounds in unique combination provide living nature to the protoplasm.

Question 6.
Why cells could not be observed before 17th century?
Answer:
The main reason was that the size of the majority of the cells are too small to be invisible to the unaided eye and at that time microscope was not discovered. So, the cell could not be observed before 17th century.

Question 7.
Why Hooke had to take thin slices of cork?
Answer:
The cork was solid and the details of cork could not seen in solid state. So he made thin slices to see the details of the cork. He saw space in cork slice which appeared like honey comb, called these compartments as cells.

Question 8.
What do you know about cell shape?
Answer:
Cells are of diverse shapes. Some cells are like Amoeba and white blood cells of our blood. They continuously change their shape. Most cells, however, maintain a constant shape all through their existence.

Question 9.
Write about size variation of the cells.
Answer:
Cells vary in their size. The smallest known cell is bacteria measuring about 0.5 micrometre. Nerve cell is up to 1 metre long. The heaviest cell is of ostrich and acetabulum is the largest unicellular algae which is about 10 cm long. Majority of cells in plants and animals range from 20 to 30 microns in diameter.

Question 10.
Write a short note on cell numbers.
Answer:
Cells are of two types depending upon their number. Some cells exist single in number. The organism consisting of a single cell are called unicellular organisms. The organisms which consist of two or more than two cells are called multicellular organisms. Human body consists of more than a trillion of cells. Amoeba,Paramecium etc. are unicellular organisms.

Question 11.
What is nucleolus?

Long Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
How do you differentiate protoplasm from cytoplasm?
Answer:
Protoplasm:
The cytoplasm surrounded by the cell membrane and enclosing the nucleus together constitute the protoplasm. In other words the cell membrane, the cytoplasm and the nucleus constitute pr’otoplasm.

Cytoplasm:
It is jelly like substance occupied most of the inside of the cell. It occupies the space between the cell membrane and the nucleus. All the life functions take place in the cytoplasm. It contains many important tiny structures called the organelles, which performs the various life functions.

Question 2.
Write the functions of cell organelles.
Answer:
(i) Mitochondria: It performs the function of respiration provide the cell with energy.
(ii) Endoplasmic-reticulum: It is a network of membrane, it provides large surface area for life function to take place.
(iii) Chloroplasts: These are green in colour, contain green pigment chlorophyll which help in food manufacturing in plants.
(iv) Golgi complex: These collect and distribute substances made in the cell. Synthesis and secretions of many materials.
(v) Lysosomes: Certain enzymes which help in breaking down or destroying various unwanted materials of cell.
(vi) Centrioles and centrosome: It helps in cell division in animal cells.
(vii) Ribosomes: They help in protein synthesis.
(viii) Vacoules: These are generally stored inside clear space in the cytoplasm.
In animal cells they are very small. In plant cells they are large and greater in number.

Cell Structure and Functions Class 8 HBSE Notes

1. All organisms are made of small basic structural and functional units.
2. These smallest functional units are called cells.
3. Robert Hooke observed a cell for the first time in 1665.
4. Cells can be defined as the basic structural and functional unit of life.
5. Cells are of different size and shape.
6. Living Organisms made up of a single cell are called unicellular organisms.
7. All unicellular organisms are microscopic organism e.g. Amoeba, Paramecium etc. i.e. they cannot be seen with naked eyes.
8. Some cells can be seen with naked eyes without any aid e.g. egg of a hen.
9. In unicellular organisms, the single cell perform all the function necessary for living.
10. A cell has different parts. These small parts of the cell are called organelles.
11. A cell is made up of cell membrane, which contains all the organelles in it.
12. All cell organellies are contained in cytoplasm.
13. In the centre of the cytoplasm nucleus is situated, which is the brain of the cell.
14. Mitochondria, Endoplasmic reticulum, chloroplasts, golgi complex, lysosomes, centrioles, and ribosomes are other cell organelles.
15. Cells which don’t have a well organized nuleus are called the karyotic cells. In these cells the nucleus lacks the nuclear membrane.
16. The cells of plants are a bit different from that of animals.
17. In animals, cell wall, chloroplast, chromosomes, vacoules are absent, while they are present in plant cells.
18. Green leaves have a special organelle called chlorophyll i.e. the Green plastids (chloroplasts) which helps in the process of photosynthesis.
19. Different colours of plastids give different colours to plants.

Haryana Board 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 2 एक चर वाले रैखिक समीकरण Exercise 2.6

निम्नलिखित समीकरणों को हल कीजिए

प्रश्न 1.
\(\frac{8 x-3}{3 x}\) = 2
हल :
\(\frac{8 x-3}{3 x}\) = 2
कैंची गुणा करने पर,
⇒ (8x – 3) × 1= 3x × 2
8x – 3= 6x
– 3 तथा 6x का पक्षान्तरण करने पर,
⇒ 8x – 6x = 3
⇒ 2x = 3
∴ x = \(\frac{3}{2}\)

प्रश्न 2.
\(\frac{9 x}{7-6 x}\) = 15
हल :
\(\frac{9 x}{7 – 6x}\) = \(\frac{15}{1}\)
कैंची गुणा करने पर,
⇒ 9x × 1 = (7 – 6x) × 15
⇒ 9x = 105 – 90x
90x का पक्षान्तरण करने पर,
⇒ 9x + 90x = 105
⇒ 99x = 105
⇒ x = \(\frac{105}{99}\) = \(\frac{35}{33}\)
अतः x = \(\frac{35}{33}\)

प्रश्न 3.
\(\frac{z}{z+15}\) = \(\frac{4}{9}\)
हल :
\(\frac{z}{z+15}\) = \(\frac{4}{9}\)
⇒ 9z = 4(z + 15) (कैंची गुणा करने पर)
⇒ 9z = 4z + 60
⇒ 9z – 4z = 60
⇒ 5z = 60
⇒ z = \(\frac{60}{5}\)
अतः z = 12

प्रश्न 4.
\(\frac{3y+4}{2-6y}\) = \(\frac{-2}{5}\)
हल :
\(\frac{3y+4}{2-6y}\) = \(\frac{-2}{5}\)
कैंची गुणा करने पर,
⇒ 5(3y + 4) = – 2(2 – 6y)
⇒ 15y + 20 = – 4 +12y
⇒ 15y – 12y = – 4 – 20 (पक्षान्तरण करने पर)
⇒ 3y = – 24
⇒ y = \(\frac{-24}{3}\)
अतः y = -8

प्रश्न 5.
\(\frac{7y+4}{y+2}\) = \(\frac{-4}{3}\)
हल :
\(\frac{7y+4}{y+2}\) = \(\frac{-4}{3}\)
कैंची गुणा करने पर,
⇒ 3(7y + 4) = -4(y + 2)
⇒ – 21y + 12 = – 4y – 8
⇒ – 21y + 4y = – 8 – 12 (पक्षान्तरण करने पर)
⇒ – 25y = – 20
⇒ y = \(-\frac{20}{25}\) = \(-\frac{4}{5}\)
अतः y = \(-\frac{4}{5}\)

प्रश्न 6.
हरी और हैरी की वर्तमान आयु का अनुपात 5 : 7 है । अब से 4 वर्ष बाद उनकी आयु का अनुपात 3 : 4 हो जायेगा । उनकी वर्तमान आयु ज्ञात कीजिए।
हल :
माना कि हरी और हैरी की वर्तमान आयु क्रमश : 5x तथा 7x हैं।
अत: 4 वर्ष बाद हरी की आयु = (5x + 4) वर्ष
तथा 4 वर्ष बाद हैरी की आयु = (7x + 4) वर्ष
4 वर्ष बाद उनकी आयु का अनुपात = 3 : 4
प्रश्नानुसार,
\(\frac{5x+4}{7x+4}\) = \(\frac{3}{4}\)
कैंची गुणा करने पर,
⇒ 3(7x + 4) = 4 (5x + 4)
⇒ 21x + 12 = 20x + 16
⇒ 21x – 20x = 16 – 12 (पक्षान्तरण करने पर)
∴ x = 4
अत: हरी की वर्तमान आयु = 5x = 5 × 4 = 20 वर्ष
तथा हैरी की वर्तमान आयु = 7x = 7 × 4 = 28 वर्ष

प्रश्न 7.
एक परिमेय संख्या का हर उसके अंश से 8 अधिक है । यदि अंश में 17 जोड़ दिया जाए तथा हर में से 1 घटा दिया जाए, तब हमें में प्राप्त होता है । वह परिमेय संख्या ज्ञात कीजिए।
हल :
माना कि परिमेय संख्या का अंश =x
तब हर = (x+8)
तो परिमेय संख्या = \(\frac{x}{x+8}\)
अंश में 17 जोड़ने पर, नया अंश = (x + 17)
हर में से 1 घटाने पर, नया हर = (x + 8 – 1) = (x + 7)
तो प्राप्त नयी परिमेय संख्या = \(\frac{x+17}{x+7}\)
अतः प्रश्नानुसार, \(\frac{x+17}{x+7}\) = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
कैंची गुणा करने पर,
⇒ 2(x + 17) = 3(x +7 )
⇒ 2x + 34 = 3x + 21
⇒ 2x – 3x = 21 – 34 (पक्षान्तरण करने पर)
⇒ -x = -13
⇒ x = 13
∴ अंश = 13
हर (x + 8) = (13 + 8) ⇒ 21
अतः परिमेय संख्या = \(\frac{13}{21}\)

Haryana State Board HBSE 8th Class Science Solutions Chapter 7 Conservation of Plants and Animals Textbook Exercise Questions and Answers.

Haryana Board 8th Class Science Solutions Chapter 7 Conservation of Plants and Animals

HBSE 8th Class Science Conservation of Plants and Animals Textbook Questions and Answers

Question 1.
Fill in the blanks:
(a) A place where animals are protected in their natural habitat is called ………….. .
(b) Species found only in a particular area is known as ………….. .
(c) Migratory birds fly to far away places because of …………. changes.
Answer:
(a) wildlife sanetuary
(b) Endemic species
(c) climate.

Question 2.
Differentiate between the following:
(a) Wildlife sanctuary and biosphere reserve.
(b) Zoo and wildlife sanctuary.
(c) Endangered and extinct species.
(d) Flora and fauna.
Answer:
(a) Wildlife sanctuary is a place where wild animals are protected and preserved. Here poaching or capturing any animal is strictly prohibited. Biosphere reserves are the protecting areas meant for only conservation of biodiversity i.e. animals and plants and even the microorganisms. It also helps to maintain the culture of that area. It contains many wildlife sancturies, national parks.

(b) Zoos are smaller places having some animals protected for the public view, while wildlife sancturies protect and conserve wild animals in their natural habitats. They are spread in vast areas.

(c) Endangered species are those species which are at the verge of extinction and which are required to be protected and conserved, while extinct species are those which no more exist on the earth.

(d) Flora is the term used for wide variety of plants while fauna is used to refer to all the varieties of animals.

Question 3.
Discuss the effects of deforestation on the following:
(a) Wild animals
(b) Environment
(c) Villages (Rural areas)
(d) Cities (Urban areas).
(e) Earth
(f) The next generation.
Answer:
(a) Wild animals:
When forests are cut, they leave many wild animals unsheltered. Their habitat is snatched away from them and they are left to die without their natural shelter.

(b) Environment:
Environment is adversely effected by deforestation as ecological balance is disturbed. Carbondioxide is not absorbed by plants and it gets accumulated to cause global warming.

(c) Villages (Rural areas):
Villages are depended upon forests to large extent. They are closely related to forests. Some adjoining villages have to face the wrath of wild animals as unhabitated animals run to nearby villages and cause danger to them. Morever they are devoid of other benefits like fruits, fuel, wood etc. they get from forests.

(d) Cities (Urban areas):
Cities are not directly effected by the cutting of forests because they are away from forests. But changes in climate effect cities. Calamities like flood and droughts do not spare cities.

(e) Earth:
Earth is the worst effected by deforestation. Its fertile land gets converted into deserts and its temperature rises. Its environment and climate changes.

(f) The Next generation:
The next generation will not be able to see many beautiful and attractive flora and fauna. They will not get a clean and cool environment. They will have to breath poisonous gases and have to live in jungles of concrete.

Question 4.
What will happen if:
(a) we go on cutting trees.
(b) the habitat of an animal is disturbed.
(c) the’top layer of soil is exposed.
Answer:
(a) We go on cutting trees:
If we go on cutting trees, the earth will loose its top fertile soil and get converted to desert. The ecological balance will get disturbed and floods and droughts will become more frequent. Many animals will loose their shelter and there will be a scarcity of things like fruits, paper, etc. we get from forests.

(b) When the habitat of an animal is disturbed, it becomes unprotected and unconserved. It becomes prone to extinction and if not conserved and protected, it will stop to exist anymore on the earth.

(c) When the top layer of the soil is exposed, the humus is lost and fertile soil gets converted into dry sand particles. It is called desertification.

Question 5.
Answer in brief:
(а) Why should we conserve biodiversity?
(b) Protected forests are also not completely safe for wild animals. Why?
(c) Some tribes depend on the jungle. How?
(d) What are the causes and consequences of deforestation?
(e) What is Red Data Book?
(f) What do you understand by the term migration?
Answer:
(a) We should conserve biodiversity to save it from becoming extinct.

(b) Protected forests are also not completely safe for wild animals because the poachers have found access in these areas an,d still kill the wild animals inside these protected areas.

(d) Causes of the deforestation are growing urbanization and industrialization. Consequences are the desertification and natural calamities. It has also rendered many species of plants and animals unprotected and unconserved.

(e) Red Data Book is the record book and source book of all the endangered animals and plants. Different record books are maintained for endangered animals and endangered plants.

(f) The term migration means the phenomenon of periodical movement of a species of brids from its owu habitat to some other habitat due to changes in climate. It is for the purpose of breeding and other specific purposes.

Question 6.
In order to meet the ever- increasing demand in factories and for shelter, trees are being continually cut. Is it justified to cut trees for such projects? Discuss this in your class and prepare a brief report.
Answer:
It is not justified to cut forests for any project. We not only cut forests, we snatch away shelters from many plants, animals and birds. They also disturb the ecological balances and cause many natural calamities. So, we should preserve and protect our forests.

Question 7.
How can you contribute to the maintenance of green wealth of your locality? Make a list of actions to be taken byyou.
Answer:
We can grow new plants in our locality. Take turns to water them and take care of them. The existing plants should be properly nourished. All the residents should be taught about the coming dangers due to deforestation like global warming etc. They should be encouraged to help in the maintenance of green wealth of our locality.

Question 8.
Explain how deforestation lead to reduced rainfall.
Answer:
Deforestation leads to reduce rainfall because plants are the main agents to maintain the water cycle in the environment. Plants will not absorb water from the soil and will not evaporate water from their leaves to form clouds. If clouds will not be formed then how can we expect rainfall.

Question 9.
Find out about national parks in your state. Identify and show their location on the outlipe map of India.
Answer:
For self attempt.

Question 10.
Why should paper be saved? Prepare a list of the ways by which you can save paper.
Answer:
Paper is manufactured by using, pulps of tree bark. If we will keep on cutting forests indiscriminately, then where will we get pulp from. We should save paper to protect our trees, because paper can be recycled to make- new paper. We should not throw papers here and there. Newspapers, old books, notebooks and other papers should be collected and sold to kabadiwala, so that he can further supply it for recycling.

Question 11.

Short Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
What do you mean by deforestation?
Answer:
Indiscriminate cutting of forests for urbanization and industrialization is called deforestation. In simple words, deforestation means to clear the forests and use the land for other purposes.

Question 2.
Write some natural causes of deforestation.
Answer:
Natural causes of deforestation are those causes which are not initiated by human beings. Natural phenomenon like lightening on forests cause major forest fires, which can bum a large area of forests. Forest fires due to intense heat cause spontaneous combustion and bums a vast area of forest. Similarly, floods and severe droughts also cause damage to forests.

Question 3.
Write a few consequences of deforestation.
Answer:
Deforestation. has dangerous consequences which prove fatal for wildlife and human life. It gives rise to severe droughts and floods. It converts the fertile land into desert. It increases the temperature of the earth which causes melting of polar ice and glaciers. Many important species of plants, animals and birds become extinct and other stands at the verge of extinction.

Question 4.
How deforestation reduces rainfall?
Answer:
Deforestation disturbs the water cycle and reduces the rainfall. Increased amount of carbondioxide in environment increases the temperature of the earth. Which means there is less amount of water left on the earth. This reduces the evaporation of the water to form clouds thus reduced rainfall.

Question 5.
What do you mean by biodiversity?
Answer:
Biological diversity means the variety of living things existing on earth and their inter-relationship, as well as their relationship with the environment. In other words, variety of plants, animals and microorganisms generally found in an area is called its biodiversity.

Question 6.
What do you mean by endemic species?
Answer:
Species of animals and plants which are only found in a particular geographical area is called endemic species. These plants and animals cannot be found in any other geographical area e.g., wild mango arid gaint squirrel is endemic species of Panchmarhi.

Question 7.
What do you mean by wildlife sanctuaries?
Answer:
Wildlife sanctuaries are the protected areas where wild animals are protected and conserved. The wild animals are provided with their natural habitat. Their poaching and capturing is strictly prohibited m these protected areas.

Question 8.
What is a National Park?
Answer:
National Park is the protected vast area which conserves animals, plants, landscapes and even the historical objects. They are very large areas and can even protect whole sets of ecosystems in them. India has many such National Parks like Satpura National Park, Kaziranga National Park, etc.

Question 1.
What is Deforestation? Write its causes.
Answer:
Deforestation means indiscriminate cutting of trees in forest. Forest lands are cleared to be used for urbanisation and industrialization.
Following are different causes of deforestation:
(i) Forest land is used for urbanization. As population is growing, so is growing the need for houses. So more and more land is required.
(ii) With growing population, industries are also growing. So the cleared land is used to set-up factories and industries.
(iii) Wood of forest is used for making furniture, doors, windows of buildings etc.
(iv) Wood is cut to use as fuel for cooking.
(v) Some natural causes like forest fires etc. also cause destruction of forests.

Question 2.
What are the consequences of deforestation? Explain.
Answer:
Deforestation has dire consequences. Following are the consequences of deforestation:
(i) Deforestation snatches away the natural habitat of many animals, plants and birds. It puts many species in endangered zone and many get extinct.
(ii) Deforestation causes natural calamities like floods, drought etc.
(iii) Reduced rainfall and increase in earth’s temperature has caused problems like Global warming.
(iv) Increased amount of carbondioxide and other gases pollute environment.
(v) Oxygen level is decreased as well as the water level.
(vi) Fertile top layer of soil gets converted into desert.

Question 3.
What is done for the conservation of wildlife?
Answer:
Various measures are taken to conserve wildlife. Reserved and protected areas like Biosphere reserve, Wildlife sanctuaries and National parks are formed.

Biosphere Reserves are the areas which support biodiversity and culture of the reserved area. Biosphere Reserve is a vast area which contains many other protected areas.

Wildlife Sanctuaries are the areas where wild animals are conserved and protected. It is the area which is restricted and activities like killing of animals and capturing of animals are strictly prohibited.

National Parks: National Parks are meant to protect and preserve flora, fauna, landscapes and historical objects of an area. They not only protect the living organisms, but also the non-living things of that particular area.

What is migration and why animals migrate?
Answer:
Movements of animals in large number from one place to another place to escape unfavourable conditions is called migration. Animals migrate for specific purposes. When the purpose is solved, they usually come back to their endemic area.

Migration can be due to unfavourable environmental conditions, eg. The Arctic Tern migrate to Antarctic to spend its winlers. Some birds of colder regions migrate to Asiatic countries during winters. This type of migration is called seasonal migration which occur in many species of insects, birds, marine mammals and herbivorous mammals.

Migration is also done for better food or water availability in other regions due to temperature and other climatic conditions.
Some species of animals and birds also migrate for the purpose of reproduction e.g. fresh watereeds go to saltwaters from freshwater to lay eggs.

Question 7.
Write a short note op migratory birds.
Answer:
Migratory birds are those birds which migrate from their natural habitat to far off areas for breeding. When the natural habitat o.f these birds become very cold, they fly off to distant lands to lay eggs, as climate there is suitable for their breding. They always fly to a specific area every year at a specific period. They migrate in groups to escape the inhospitable climate of their natural habitat.

Birds like Surkhab fly to India from Malyasia. Other birds like Bar Headed Goose, Great Cormorant etc. are also migratory birds.

Question 8.
Recycling of paper helps to protect forest and environment. Explain.
Answer:
Paper is made from trees. Innumerable trees are cut to manufacture paper. If we recycle used paper, we will not have to cut trees to manufacture new paper. Each paper can be recycled 5-7 times and can be used. If we do not throw paper here or there and collect it to be sold to the Kabadiwala, we sire saving our green wealth. It will also save the chemicals used to prepare paper and also the energy used for preparing it. The wastage mid garbage produced during this process will also be reduced and environment will remain clean.

Question 9.
How can we save CHIT green wealth?
Answer:
Our forests are our wealth. We should not destory them but conserve them. To conserve our forests, first of all we should stop cutting them. We should plant as many plants as we cut, so that the number of trees remain unchanged. People should be made aware of the bad effects of deforestation and they should be made familiar with the advantages of the trees for us. Community plantation programmes should be encouraged. Students should be encouraged to plant one plant every year. Plantation of trees is not sufficient. They need proper look after too. So, the tree we plant, should be nourished and taken care of.

Conservation of Plants and Animals Class 8 HBSE Notes

1. A vast variety of plants and animals exist on earth.
2. Deforestation is a threat to the survival of these plants and animals as major varieties of plants and animals are present in forests.
3. Indiscriminate cutting of forests is called deforestation. Land cleared by deforestation is used for other purposes too.

5. Deforestation causes floods, droughts, infertility of soil and many other natural calamities.
6. Soil looses humous due to deforestation and becomes sand, thus deforestation converts a fertile land into a desert and it is called desertification.
7. We should conserve our forests by planting more and more trees which is called afforestation. For conservation of animals; wildlife sancturies and hational parks are formed. They give shelter to our wildlife and help to preserve our endangered species of plants and animals.
8. Variety pf life existing on earth and their inter-relation is called biodiversity. In other words biodiversity is variety of plants and animals and microorganisms generally found in a specific area. Such life is supported by the area called Biosphere.
9. Species ofplants and animals exclusively found in a restricted area are called Endemic species. They are not found in any other geographical area.
