One-Word Answer Type Questions

Topic: Synthesis of Plant Food Other Than Carbohydrates

1. Question: Which nutrient present in proteins is not found in carbohydrates?

• Answer: Nitrogen

• Explanation: Proteins are nitrogenous substances, whereas carbohydrates contain only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

2. Question: In which form do plants absorb nitrogen from the soil?

• Answer: Soluble

• Explanation: Plants absorb nitrogen in a soluble form from the soil, as they cannot use nitrogen gas directly from the air.

3. Question: Name the bacteria that converts atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form.

• Answer: Rhizobium

• Explanation: Rhizobium bacteria live in the root nodules of leguminous plants and convert atmospheric nitrogen into soluble nitrogen compounds.

4. Question: What type of plants have root nodules that contain nitrogen-fixing bacteria?

• Answer: Leguminous

• Explanation: Leguminous plants like gram, peas, moong, and beans have root nodules containing Rhizobium bacteria for nitrogen fixation.

5. Question: What is the process of using atmospheric nitrogen by plants called?

• Answer: Nitrogen fixation

• Explanation: Nitrogen fixation is the process of converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can absorb and use.

6. Question: Which mineral nutrient is essential for the synthesis of proteins in plants?

• Answer: Nitrogen

• Explanation: Nitrogen is an essential mineral for protein synthesis in plants.

7. Question: Name the component of food synthesized by plants using nitrogen.

• Answer: Proteins

• Explanation: Plants use nitrogen, along with carbohydrates, to synthesize proteins.

8. Question: What type of relationship exists between Rhizobium bacteria and leguminous plants?

• Answer: Symbiotic

• Explanation: Rhizobium bacteria and leguminous plants have a symbiotic relationship, where both benefit from each other.

9. Question: Apart from proteins, what other nutrient is synthesized in plants using minerals?

• Answer: Vitamins

• Explanation: Along with carbohydrates and proteins, plants also synthesize vitamins using minerals from the soil.

10. Question: What is added to the soil by farmers to fulfill the nitrogen requirement of plants?

• Answer: Fertiliser

• Explanation: Farmers add nitrogen-rich fertilisers to the soil to help plants in synthesizing proteins and other nutrients.
