Match the statement in column A with those in column B. Column A Column B 1. Tiny pores in leaves (a) Leaf 2. Needed by plants to make food (b) Stomata 3. A plant's food factory (c) Water and Sunlight 4. Lives on other organisms and derive food from them (d) Symbiosis 5. Two different organisms living together and both are mutually benefited (e) Amarbel 6. Plants feeding on insects (f) Parasite 7. Parasitic plant with a yellow slender long tubular stem (g) Pitcher plant

1. - (b) Stomata are small pores generally located on the lower surface of leaves. Stomata are responsible for the exchange of gases with the atmosphere. 2. - (c) Plants need four raw materials to make food. These are water, sunlight, carbon dioxide gas, and chlorophyll. 3. (a) The process of photosynthesis mostly occurs in the leaves of the plant. That is why leaves are called the plant's food factory. 4. - (f) Organisms that live and derive food from other organisms are called parasitic organisms. The other organisms from which food is derived is called the host. 5. - (d) In symbiotic relations, usually, two different organisms live together and both benefit from the relation. An example is lichens, where fungal and algal partners live together for mutual benefit. Algal Component is autotrophic and produces food, while the fungal component provides shelter and water. 6. - (g) Some plants like pitcher plant (called insectivorous plants) are autotrophic, but to meet certain nutrient deficiency, i.e., mostly nitrogen deficiency, they feed on other organisms, usually insects. They are found in places where the soil nutrient value is less. 7- (e) The living organism that lives in or on other organisms and derives nutrition from it is called a parasite. Parasites that are completely dependent on the host for nutrition are called total parasites. It is a type of heterotrophic nutrition. Amarbel ( Cuscuta ) are total parasitic organisms (plants) that have long, yellowish, tubular structure turning around stem and branches of trees. Column A Column B 1.
