THE FINAL EXAM FOR TAWJIHI / Level 3

NAME: JUMANA SCHOOL Duration: 90m

Q1: - Read the following text carefully and answer the questions given below: -

It may seem very strange, but plants are always in danger from animals which want to feed on them. If this happens, the plant can be damaged or even killed. So, because their roots, trunks, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds are under constant attack from mammals, insects or birds, plants have developed ways of protecting themselves from these enemies. Some of the ways plants use to stop animals from attacking and eating them are sharp thorns, poison, insects and sticky gum .

Some plants which grow in dry climates, for example cactuses, store large quantities of

water in their stems. To protect themselves, they have sharp thorns. Animals will hurt

themselves if they try to get to the water from these plants. Other plants, like stinging nettles, can 'inject' painful or irritating substances into their enemies by means of the sharp hairs on their leaves.

There are many plants which protect themselves by poisoning their enemies. In some cases the poison they contain is so powerful that it can kill any living thing which touches or eats them. The poison can be in the leaves, the seeds or berries, or in other parts of the plant.

Some acacia trees in hot African countries are protected by ants which live permanently on their branches. If an animal starts to eat the tree's leaves, the ants attack it.

Some plants, such as horse chestnut trees, are covered with a sticky substance, like wet

paint, which can prevent insects from eating them. Sometimes this substance is so strong

that insects, feet or wings get stuck and they cannot escape.
