(i) Other than food remains, state three constituents of plaque.
(ii) State the time during the day, when conditions are most favorable for the process of tooth decay.
Food does not pass through the digestive system by 'gravity'. This is clear from the fact that we can digest the food even if we are lying down. Explain the logic behind the passage of food through our digestive system.

Geetika after coming home told her mother that she wants to plant some trees as she needs to know and observe how plants grow by preparing their own food and transfer it to other organs. She placed two potted plants in her room and observed after 3-4 weeks that leaves had become pale-yellow in colour instead of green in colour. She realised her error and placed the plants in sunlight.

(iii) What values are observed in Geetika's action?
Smriddhi's father has a plot of land in the city where he wants to construct a house. The area has few trees, which are very dear to her father and he does not want to cut the trees, as trees provide us oxygen which is very essential for living organisms.
