Question Discussion & Solution

Concept:-

• Plants have diverse varieties.
• There are more than 3 lakh plants species that have already been found in the world.
• Plants are beneficial in human life they give food, shelter and fulfil many other needs of various organisms.

Explanation:-

Bryophytes:

• Bryophytes are often referred to as the amphibians of the plant kingdom.
• Bryophytes are small, non-vascular plants.
• The reproduction of Bryophytes is via spores.
• Bryophytes are live in the soil, even though they need water for sexual reproduction this is the reason why the Bryophytes are often referred to as the amphibians of the plant kingdom.
• Bryophytes are generally classified into three coordinate phyla namely the liverworts, hornworts, and mosses.
• The following division, bryophytes, were the first land occupying or inhabiting plants.
• They fill in sodden or damp regions since they require water for fertilization.
• Consequently, they are called the creatures of land and water of the plant kingdom or the amphibians of the plant kingdom.

Thus, the first plants to inhabit the land are Bryophytes.

Additional Information 

Kingdom plants are divided into five groups- Thallophytes, Bryophytes, Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms, and Angiosperms.

Thallophyta

• The plant body is not differentiated from roots, stems, and leaves.
• They are commonly called algae.

Bryophyta

• These are small terrestrial plants.
• They show differentiation in the body design, with stem, leaf-like structures, and root-like structures.

Pteridophyta

• The plant body is differentiated into roots, stems, and leaves, apart from having a specialized tissue for conduction.

Gymnosperms

• Gymnosperms are plants with naked seeds.

Angiosperms

• Angiosperms are seed-bearing plants. Seeds develop inside tissues that get modified to form the fruit of the plant. 

Valency is the combining power of an element. Elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same valency.

Key Points

• Valency is the no of electron that looses, shared or gain to achieve stability or we can say to complete it outer most shell. 
• If any element has valence electron (electrons present in outer most shell) less than 4
  • ​​Valency = no of valance electron (valence electron<4)
• If any element has valence electron ​more than 4
  • ​​Valency = 8 - no of valance electron (valence electron>4)

​For Lithium:

• Li(Z=3) Electronic configuration = 2, 1
  • Valency = no of valance electron  = 1

​Hence, we can conclude that 1 is the valency of Lithium.

The correct answer is Udaipur.

• Gulab Bagh (also known as Sajjan Niwas Garden) is located in Udaipur.

Key Points

• Gulab Bagh:
  • It is located in Udaipur, Rajasthan.
  • It is the largest garden in Udaipur.
  • The garden is named so because of the abundance of roses and the innumerable varieties of it.
  • It was constructed by Maharana Fateh Singh in 1887.
  • It was earlier known as Sajjan Niwas Garden.
  • It also houses a museum called Victoria museum.
    • The museum is now called Saraswati Bhawan Library.
  • 

The study of individual organisms and their interaction with the environment is known as autecology.

Key Points 

• Ecology is the study of the interaction of organisms with their environment.
• Synecology and autecology is the branch of ecology.
• Synecology is the study of a group of organisms and their relation to the environment.
• Community ecology or synecology is the study of the interactions between species in communities on many spatial and temporal scales, including the distribution, structure, abundance, demography, and interactions between coexisting populations.
• For example, the study of the entire grassland ecosystem. 

The correct answer is Sunderban Delta.

• Sunderban Delta is the largest delta in India.

Key Points

• Sunderbans has spread over 1330.10 sq. km.
• It is formed by the Ganga and Brahmaputra rivers in West Bengal and Bangladesh. 
• Sundarbans is also known for the mangrove forest which is one of the largest such forests in the world.
• Sundarbans was included in the World Heritage site in 1987.
• East Flowing Rivers are known as Delta forming rivers
  • East flowing rivers do not form estuaries.
  • East flowing rivers fall in the Bay of Bengal.

Additional Information

• A delta is a depositional feature of a river which is formed at the mouth of the river. 
• Largest River without is Delta Narmada and Tapti.
