How leaves modify to perform different functions other than photosynthesis and gaseous exchange.

Read the following statements and find out the incorrect statement. A. Ultimately all the food that is respired for life processes comes from photosynthesis. B. The energy released by oxidation in respiration is directly used for the life processes. C The carbon skeleton produced during respiration is used as precursors for biosynthesis of other molecules in cell. D. Plants, unlike animals, have no specialised organs for gaseous exchange but they have stomata and lenticels for this purpose. E. During oxidation within a cell, all the energy contained in, respiratory substrates is released free into the cell in a single step, which is trapped as chemical energy in the form of ATP.

Is it correct to say that photosynthesis occurs only in leaves of a plant? Besides leaves, what are the other parts that may out be capable of carrying photosynthesis? Justify.

You have heard about several insectivorous plants that feed on insects. Nepenthes or the pitcher plant is one-such example, which usually grows in shallow water or in marsh lands. What part of the plant is modified into-a 'pitcher'? How does this modification’help.the plant for food even though it can, photosynthesize like any Other green plant?

Questions based on paragraph The important parts of computer include the Input unit, the Central Processing Unit (CPU) or the processor and the Output unit. The Input unit is used to enter information or data into the computer. Some of the devices used for input include the keyboard and the scanner. On the other hand, the Output device is used for Providing the result / solution / answer to the user. Generally a monitor or printer is used as an output unit. The Processing unit consists of a memory unit, control unit and ALU i.e. arithmetic logic unit. The Processing unit receives the input in form of instructions, executes each instruction in a specific order and provides the output to the user. What is the main function of the Processing unit? What are its important parts?
