ICSE Class 8 Biology — Flashcards for Quick Revision

A: Transportation in plants is the process in which substances absorbed or made in one part of the plant are moved to other parts of the plant. It helps water, minerals, and food reach the parts that nee

A: Xylem and phloem together form the vascular bundle. This conducting system helps the plant move water, minerals, and food through the root, stem, branches, and leaves.

A: Xylem is a vascular tissue that transports water and mineral salts from the roots to the aerial parts of the plant. It also gives mechanical strength because some of its cells are strong and thick-wal

A: Reproduction means producing young ones of the same kind. It helps living organisms continue their species.

A: Plants reproduce by asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, only one parent is involved. In sexual reproduction, two parents are involved and male and female gametes fus

A: Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction in bacteria. The nucleus splits into two and then the cell splits across the middle, forming two identical daughter cells.

A: Reproduction is the process in which organisms give rise to new individuals of their own kind. It helps in the continuance of the species.

A: Amoeba reproduces simply by dividing into two. This is called binary fission, a type of asexual reproduction.

A: First the nucleus divides into two. After that, the cytoplasm divides, and then the two offspring separate and live as new individuals.
