Parts of a plant Chapter 7 Class 6

 Components of a plant

Roots, stem, leaves, flowers, and fruits are all elements of a typical plant's body. Roots are the parts of the plant that are found below ground. The stem, leaves, buds, flowers, fruits, and seeds are all present above ground.

Root

The roots are brown in colour and usually found underground. The root hairs are the thin threadlike structures that cover the roots. A root cap protects the tip of the root and serves as a preventative measure. The root system is made up of the root and the root hairs.


Root characteristics


  1. The roots develop away from the light and towards the dirt. As a result, it's called a geotropic structure.
  2. The chlorophyll pigment, which gives the root its green colour, is absent. It is unable to create food.
  3. Leaves, buds, and flowers are not produced by roots.
  4. Roots absorb water and minerals from the soil through their root hairs.

Stem
The plant's stem is the component that rises above the ground. A plant's leaves, flowers, and fruits are carried on the stem. It has a mild, green, or woody scent. It grows towards the direction of the sun. It climbs up from the earth.
Stem Characteristics

  1. The stem is what allows the plant to remain upright as a whole.
  2. They are phototrophic at all times. i.e. they grow in the direction of the sun.
  3. Internodes separate nodes (the point at which a leaf or branch emerges) on the stem (gap between two nodes). Branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits are all supported by the stem.

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...

Lessons-Worksheets-Question Papers-CBSE Class 2 English CBSE 2nd Class English – One and Many  In this blog, we share the spelling rules used in the concept of  One  and Many. When there is only one of a naming word (noun), it is said to be a  singular noun . When a noun shows more than one, it is said to be in the  plural . We can add  –S, -es, -ves or ies  to show that there is more than one noun.  For example,  we say many birds, four biscuits, six brushes. But for the students of  Class 2 , it’s very difficult and confusing to understand where to use  s , es, ves or ies  in the form of many. Don’t worry, it looks difficult, but it is very easy as in grammar each concept has a set of rules that need to practice. Noun ending with  –s, -x, -o, -sh, -ch, and –ss  form plurals by taking  –es. Look at these pairs of words: Bus – Buses Brush – Brushes Continue ..... Click here ...

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name Noble Gases Noble gases, sometimes known as inert gases or erosions, are part of the modern periodic table's 18th group. This group is made up of the following individuals: Helium is a kind of gas (He) Neon (Ne) Argon is a gas (Ar) Krypton  (Kr) Xenon is a kind of xenon gas (Xe) Radon is a gas that can cause cancer (Rn) Noble gases exist in a gaseous state under typical temperature and pressure conditions. Because all noble gases have stable electronic structures, they have very little chemical reactivity. They are monoatomic gases that do not readily form molecules. 'ns2np6' represents the basic electrical configuration of noble gases. As a result, noble gases' outermost valence shells can be deemed 'complete.' The chemical inertness of the group of 18 elements is due to this. Because of the stability of certain elements, these gases form a group. These stable elements' crusts are totally filled.
