Q.1 There would be no plant life if chloroplasts did not exist. Justify.
Q.2 Why do vegetable vendors (subzi-walla) regularly sprinkle water on the vegetables
in their baskets?
- Chloroplasts contain the pigment chlorophyll which is responsible for food preparation by photosynthesis in plants. Hence if there were no chloroplasts then there would not have been any plant life.
- In summers vegetables lose their water content by evaporation and get shrieked. To avoid the dryness the vegetable vendors sprinkle water in regular intervals and keep them fresh.
