Refrigerated fruits maintain flavour and taste for longer period due to:-
Refrigerated fruits maintain flavour and taste for longer period due to the slower rate of respirations. In low temperature. the respiration rate of fruits is minimised.
Which of the following statements correctly distinguishes gaseous exchange in plants from animals?
According to the NCERT text, 'Plants, unlike animals, have no specialised organs for gaseous exchange but they have stomata and lenticels for this purpose.' Animals, on the other hand, typically possess specialized respiratory organs.
Why do plants not require extensive transport of gases from one part to another, unlike larger animals?
The NCERT states, 'First, each plant part takes care of its own gas-exchange needs. There is very little transport of gases from one plant part to another.' This localized gas exchange minimizes the requirement for extensive transport systems.
Which of the following is NOT a reason why plants can manage without specialized respiratory organs?
The NCERT states that 'Only during photosynthesis are large volumes of gases exchanged and, each leaf is well adapted to take care of its own needs during these periods. When cells photosynthesise, availability of O2 is not a problem in these cells since O2 is released within the cell.' However, not all cells, tissues, and organs photosynthesise, meaning that other parts still require oxygen which is not internally produced.
