Dr. Binox? Dr. Binox? Dr. Binox?

1
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Oh, hello kids and welcome to my show.

2
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Today, let's talk about plants.

3
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Plants are very similar to humans.

4
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,000
And, just like humans have different body parts doing different things,

5
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
similarly, plants too have different parts for different functions.

6
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Interesting, isn't it?

7
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Let me tell you what the important parts of a plant are.

8
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Leaves, bud, flower, stem, fruit and roots.

9
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Let's take a closer look at the buds that protect the baby flower or the baby leaf..

10
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000
..from the harmful elements of nature.

11
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,000
This is a flower.

12
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
It is the most beautiful part of a plant.

13
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
It's usually colourful and attracts bees and other insects.

14
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,000
These are the leaves.

15
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,000
The leaf is one of the most important parts of a plant.

16
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,000
It has a green pigment called chlorophyll which absorbs the sunlight and makes food.

17
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000
This is a fruit.

18
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,000
A fruit is a part of a plant that contains excess food and seed.

19
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000
All fruits might not be sweet and edible, but is still a fruit.

20
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000
And sometimes, they also help the plant to disperse their seed.

21
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,000
This is a stem.

22
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
A stem acts like a pillar of a plant.

23
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:12,000
It holds the plant upright and carries water, food and minerals to the parts of the plant from the roots.

24
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:19,000
The roots help to absorb water and minerals from the soil and also acts as an anchor.

25
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:28,000
When the winds are too harsh, the root makes sure that the plant stays firm in the soil and doesn't get carried away.

26
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Did you know, 90% of the food that humans eat come from 30 species of plants.

27
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,000
But the earth has more than 80,000 species of edible plants.

28
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,000
So kids, why don't you rush to your garden and see the parts of the plant yourself.

29
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Tune in next time for more fun facts.

30
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,000
This is me.

31
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Tune in next time for more fun facts.

32
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000
This is me zooming out.
