8. Winds, Storms and Cyclones Class 7 Extra Questions CBSE Winds, Storms and Cyclones Class 7 Extra Questions

● The moving air is known as wind. Winds are caused by the variation in air pressure. The pressure applied by the air on the bodies every time in all the directions is known as air pressure. ● The increased wind speed is accompanied by reduced air pressure. Air moves from the region of high pressure towards the region of low pressure. The resistance offered by air to a moving object is known as air resistance. ● Air has a property to expand on heating and contracts on cooling. The uneven heating of air results in the generation of wind currents. This phenomenon of uneven heating makes the winds to blow from poles to the equator as s equator is hotter than the poles. The same phenomenon is responsible for monsoon winds which carry water to rain. High-intensity winds may raise thunderstorms and cyclones.

10. Respiration in Organisms Class 7 Extra Questions CBSE Respiration in Organisms Class 7 Extra Questions The process of breakdown of food in the cell with the release of energy is called cellular respiration. It is of two types namely, aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.

Aerobic respiration is a complex process of chemical reactions, in which oxygen is used to break down glucose into carbon dioxide and water. The energy is released in the form of ATP.

Respiration sometimes occurs without oxygen, and this is called anaerobic respiration. In this type of respiration, glucose is partially broken down and the end products are lactic acid or ethanol (alcohol), carbon dioxide and energy; this process is known as


fermentation. Yeasts are single-celled organisms which respire anaerobically and yield alcohol during this process. Please refer ​Respiration in Organisms Class 7 Extra

11. Transportation in Animals and Plants Class 7 Extra Questions CBSE Transportation in Animals and Plants Class 7 Extra Questions The transport of food and other substances in the body is done with the help of the circulatory system. It consists of blood vessels, heart and blood.

Blood consists of plasma, RBCs, WBCs and platelets. Plasma is the fluid part of the blood. Red blood cells (RBCs) contain a red pigment called haemoglobin which carries oxygen from the lungs to the cells of the body. White Blood cells (WBCs) fight against germs. Platelets help in the formation of a clot.

The network of tubes through which the blood circulates in the body is called blood vessels. The blood vessels include arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules and veins. Arteries carry blood to all parts of the body from the heart while veins bring blood back to the heart from all parts of the body. An English physician, William Harvey discovered blood circulation.
