Short Answer Questions

~~ 36 (a) Photosynthesis

(b) Autotrophs

(c) Chloroplast

(d) Guard Cells

(e) Heterotrophs

(f) Pepsin

~~ 37 During day time, as the rate of photosynthesis is more than the rate of respiration, the net result is evolution of oxygen. At night there is no photosynthesis, so they give out carbon dioxide due to respiration.

~~ 38 The swelling of guard cells due to absorption of water causes opening of stomatal pores while shrinking of guard cells closes the pores. Opening and closing of stomata occurs due to turgor changes in guard cells. When guard cells are turgid, stomatal pore is open while in flaccid conditions, the stomatal aperture closes.

~~ 39 Plant kept in continuous light will live longer, because it will be able to produce oxygen required for its respiration by the process of photosynthesis.

~~ 40 Release of $CO_2$ and intake of $O_2$ gives evidence that either photosynthesis is not taking place or its rate is too low. Normally during day time, the rate of photosynthesis is much more than the rate of respiration. So, $CO_2$ produced during respiration is used up for photosynthesis hence $CO_2$ is not released.

~~ 41 Fishes respire with the help of gills. Gills are richly supplied with blood capillaries and can readily absorb oxygen dissolved in water. Since fishes cannot absorb gaseous oxygen they die soon after they are taken out of water.

~~ 42

Autotroph Heterotroph
1. Organisms that prepare
their own food.
1. Organisms that are dependent
on other organisms for food.
2. They have chlorophyll. 2. They lack chlorophyll.

~~ 43 Food is required for the following purposes

(a) It provides energy for the various metabolic processes in the body.

(b) It is essential for the growth of new cells and repair or replacement of worn out cells.

(c) It is needed to develop resistance against various diseases.

~~ 44 Green plants are the sources of energy for all organisms. If all green plants disappear from the earth, all the herbivores will die due to starvation and so will the carnivores.

~~ 45 This plant will not remain healthy for a long time because

(a) it will not get oxygen for respiration.

(b) it will not get carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.

(c) Upward movement of water and minerals would be hampered due to lack of transpiration.

~~ 46

Aerobic respiration Anaerobic respiration
1. Oxygen is utilised for the

substrate.
1. Oxygen is not required.
2. It takes place in cytoplasm

4. Carry oxygenated blood released.
(except pulmonary artery).
4. Carry deoxygenated blood

~~ 49 (a) Leaves provide large surface area for maximum light absorption.

(b) Leaves are arranged at right angles to the light source in a way that causes overlapping.

(c) The extensive network of veins enables quick transport of substances to and from the mesophyll cells.

(d) Presence of numerous stomata for gaseous exchange.

(e) The chloroplasts are more in number on the upper surface of leaves.

~~ 50 Digestion of cellulose takes a longer time. Hence, herbivores eating grass need a longer small intestine to allow complete digestion of cellulose. Carnivorous animals cannot digest cellulose, hence they have a shorter intestine.

~~ 51 Gastric glands in stomach release hydrochloric acid, enzyme pepsin and mucus. Mucus protects the inner lining of stomach from the action of hydrochloric acid and enzyme pepsin. If mucus is not released, it will lead to erosion of inner lining of stomach, leading to acidity and ulcers.

~~ 52 Fats are present in food in the form of large globules which makes it difficult for enzymes to act on them. Bile salts present in bile break them down mechanically into smaller globules which increases the efficiency of fat digesting enzymes.

~~ 53 The wall of alimentary canal contains muscle layers. Rhythmic contraction and relaxation of these muscles pushes the food forward. This is called peristalsis, which occurs all along the gut.

~~ 54 Maximum absorption occurs in small intestine because

(a) digestion is completed in small intestine

(b) inner lining of small intestine is provided with villi which increases the surface area for absorption.

(c) wall of intestine is richly supplied with blood vessels (which take the absorbed food to each and every cell of the body).

~~ 55 (a) - (iv)

(b) - (iii)

(c) - (i)

(d) - (ii)

~~ 56 Aquatic organisms like fishes obtain oxygen from water present in dissolved state through their gills. Since the amount of dissolved oxygen is fairly low compared to the amount of oxygen in the air, the rate of breathing in aquatic organisms is much faster than that seen in terrestrial organisms.

~~ 57 The blood circulation in human heart is called double circulation because the blood passes through the heart twice in one complete cycle of the body - once through the right half in the form of deoxygenated blood and once through the left half in the form of oxygenated blood.

~~ 58 In four chambered heart, left half is completely separated from right half by septa. This prevents oxygenated and deoxygenated blood from mixing. This allows a highly efficient supply of oxygenated blood to all parts of the body. This is useful in animals that have high energy needs, such as birds and mammals.

~~ 59 The major events during photosynthesis are

(a) absorption of light energy by chlorophyll

(b) conversion of light energy to chemical energy

~~ 67 Arteries carry blood from the heart to various organs of the body under high pressure so they have thick and elastic walls. Veins collect the blood from different organs and bring it back to the heart. The blood is no longer under pressure so the walls are thin with valves to ensure that blood flows only in one direction.

~~ 68 In the absence of platelets, the process of clotting will be affected.

~~ 69 Plants do not move. In a large plant body there are many dead cells like schlerenchyma as a result it requires less energy as compared to animals.

~~ 70 Cells of root are in close contact with soil and so actively take up ions. The ion-concentration, increases inside the root and hence osmotic pressure increases the movement of water from the soil into the root which occurs continuously.

~~ 71 Transpiration is important because

(a) it helps in absorption and upward movement of water and minerals from roots to leaves

(b) it prevents the plant parts from heating up.

~~ 72 Many plants store waste materials in the vacuoles of mesophyll cells and epidermal cells. When old leaves fall, the waste materials are excreted along with the leaves.

Role of hormones

Roles of blood, muscles and glands.

~~ 52 Different endocrine glands secrete different hormones. These hormones are released into blood which carry them to specific tissues or organs called target tissues or target organs. In the target tissues, hormone triggers a particular biochemical or physiological activity.

~~ 53 When an electrical signal reaches the axonal end of a neuron, it releases a chemical substance. This chemical diffuses towards the dendrite end of next neuron where it generates an electrical impulse or signal. Hence, the electrical signal is converted into a chemical signal at the axonal end. Since these chemicals are absent at the dendrite end of the neuron the electrical signal, cannot be converted into chemical signal.

Short Answer Questions

~~ 28 The pistil is intact. Cross pollination has occurred leading to fertilisation and formation of fruit.

~~ 29 Yes, because it results in the formation of two daughter cells, that is, it results in the production of more individuals of the organism.

~~ 30 Clone refers to offspring of an organism formed by asexual method of reproduction. Since they possess exact copies of the DNA of their parent, clones exhibit remarkable similarity.

~~ 31 Reduction division (meiosis) during gamete formation halves the chromosome number in both male and female gametes. Since these two gametes fuse during fertilisation, the original number of chromosomes (as in the parent) is restored in the offspring.

~~ 32 Sugar provides energy for sustaining all life activities in yeasts. In water, it fails to reproduce because of inadequate energy in its cells.

~~ 33 Moisture is an important factor for the growth of hyphae. Moistened bread slice offers both moisture and nutrients to the bread mould, hence it grows profusely. Dry slice of bread offers nutrients but not moisture hence hyphae fail to grow.

~~ 34 (a) Sexual reproduction involves two parents with different sets of characters

(b) The gene combinations are different in gametes.

~~ 35 Yes, shaded part in Figures D and E represent the regenerated halves.

alt text

~~ 36 (a) No, there is no relationship between size of organism and its chromosome number.

(b) No, process of reproduction follows a common pattern and is not dependent on the number of chromosomes

(c) Yes, since the major component of chromosome is DNA, if there are more chromosomes in a cell, the quantity of DNA will also be more.

~~ 37 Number of chromosomes in female gamete is 24

Number of chromosomes in zygote is 48

~~ 38 In a flower fertilisation requires both male and female gametes.

If pollination does not occur, male gamete is not available hence fertilisation cannot take place.

~~ 39 Yes, the constancy is maintained because cells in all these three structures undergo only mitotic divisions.

~~ 40 Zygote is located inside the ovule which is present in the ovary.

~~ 41 In reproduction, DNA passes from one generation to the next. Copying of a DNA takes place with consistency but with minor variations. This consistency leads to stability of species.

~~ 42 General growth refers to different types of developmental process in the body like increase in height, weight gain, changes in shape and size of the body but sexual maturation is specific to changes reflected at puberty like cracking of voice, new hair patterns, development of breast in female etc.

~~ 43 Sperm comes out from testis into the vas deferens and then passes through urethra before ejaculation. The secretions of seminal vesicle and prostrate glands provide nutrition to the sperms and also facilitate their transport.

~~ 44 The thick and spongy lining of the uterus slowly breaks and comes out through the vagina as blood and mucus.

~~ 45 The uterine wall thickens that is richly supplied with blood. A special tissue called placenta develops which connects embryo to the uterine wall that provides nutrients and oxygen to it.

~~ 46 Mechanical barriers like condom prevents the sperms from reaching the egg. Thus it is an effective method to avoid pregnancy. It also prevents transmission of infections during sexual act.

~~ 48 The ratio is $1: 2$. Sperms contain either $X$ or $Y$ chromosome whereas an egg will always have an $X$ chromosome.

Long Answer Questions

~~ 49 Budding, fragmentation and regeneration are considered as asexual types of reproduction because all of them involve only one parent and gametes are not involved in reproduction

~~ 50

Asexual reproduction Sexual reproduction
(a) Involves only one parent (i) Often involves two
parents
(b) Gametes are not
produced
(ii) Gametes are produced
(c) No fertilisation and
zygote formation
(iii) Fertilisaton and zygote
formation is observed.
(d) Meiosis does not occur
at anytime during
reproduction
(iv) Meiosis occurs at the
time of gamete
formation

During sexual reproduction two types of gametes fuse. Although the gametes contain the same number of chromosomes, their DNA is not identical. This situation generates variations among the offsprings.

~~ 51 The process or mechanism of transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma is termed pollination.

The fusion of male and female gaemtes giving rise to zygote is termed fertilisation

The site of fertilisation is ovule.

The product of fertilisation is zygote.

~~ 52 Gamete represents the sex cell or germ cell in sexual reproduction. There are two types of gametes, male and female.

Zygote is the product of fertilisation in which a male and a female gamete fuse with each other.

Pollen tube growth and its entry into the ovule

The two fusing gametes possess characters of their parents in their DNA. Fertilisation brings characters of both parents into one zygote cell.

Zygote is the first cell of the next generation. It divides to form an embryo which subsequently grows into a new individual.

Short Answer Questions

~~ 26 The sex of the individual is genetically determined i.e., genes inherited from parents decide whether the new born will be a boy or a girl. A new born who inherits an ’ $X$ ’ chromosome from father will be a girl and one who inherits a ’ $Y$ ’ chromosome will be a boy.

~~ 27 No, because mothers have a pair of X-chromosomes. All children will inherit an ’ $X$ ’ chromosome from their mother regardless of whether they are boys or girls.

~~ 28 (a) Fossils represent modes of preservation of ancient species.

(b) Fossils help in establishing evolutionary traits among organisms and their ancestors.

(c) Fossils help in establishing the time period in which organisms lived.

~~ 29 Human females have two $X$ chromosomes called sex chromosomes. During meiosis at the time of gamete formation, one $X$ chromosome enters each gamete. Hence all the gametes possess an $X$ chromosome.

~~ 30 The sex of an infant is determined by the type of sex chromosome contributed by the male gamete. Since the ratio of male gametes containing $X$ chromosome and those containing $Y$ chromosome is 50 : 50 , the statistical probability of male or a female infant is also $50: 50$.

~~ 31 Fewer individuals in a species impose extensive inbreeding among them. This limits the appearance of variations and puts the species at a disadvantage if there are changes in the environment. Since the individuals fail to cope up with the environmental changes, they may become extinct.

~~ 32 Structures which have a common basic structure but perform different functions are called homologous structures. e.g. fore limbs of reptiles, amphibians and mammals. Yes, they have common ancestor but variously modified to carry out different activities.

~~ 33 Though animals have a vast diversity in structures they probably do not have a common ancestry, because common ancestry may greatly limit the extent of diversity. As many of these diverse animals are inhabiting the same habitat, their evolution by geographical isolation and speciation is also not likely. Thus, a common ancestry for all the animals is not the likely theory.

(e) Self pollinated

~~ 36 ((a) The woman produces ova with ’ $X$ ’ chromosome

(b) The man produces sperms with $X$ and $Y$ chromosome which actually determines the sex of the baby.

Long Answer Questions

~~ 37 Yes, geographical isolation gradually leads to genetic drift. This may impose limitations to sexual reproduction of the separated population. Slowly the separated individuals will reproduce among themselves and generate new variations. Continuous accumulation of those variations through a few generations may ultimately lead to the formation of a new species.

~~ 38 This is a debatable issue. If appearance of complexity is concurrent with evolution then, human beings are certainly more evolved than bacteria. But if we take the totality of life characteristics into account, then it is hard to label either organism as evolved.

~~ 39 Hints- Common body plan, structure, physiology and metabolism.

Constant chromosome number

Common genetic blue print

Freely inter-breeding

~~ 40 Characters that are passed on from parents to offspring are inherited characters e.g., colour of seeds, colour of eyes.

Characters appearing in an individual’s life time but cannot be transmitted to next generation are acquired characters e.g., obese body, loss of a finger in an accident.

~~ 41 Acquired characters do not produce change in the DNA of germ cells, so they cannot be inherited. Only those characters which have a gene for them can be inherited.

~~ 42 We see immense diversity in size, form, structure and morphological features in the living world. But at the molecular level these, diverse types of organisms exhibit unbelievable similarity. For instance, the basic biomolecules like DNA, RNA, carbohydrates, proteins etc. exhibit remarkable similarity in all organisms.

~~ 20 Maximum current through resistor $A=\sqrt{\frac{18}{2}} A=3 A$.

Thus the maximum current through resistors $B$ and $C$ each $3 \times \frac{1}{2} A=1.5 A$.

~~ 21 Hint- It should be as close to zero as possible. Ideally it should be zero ohm. If it is non-zero and substantial it will affect the true current.

~~ 22 Hint- Yes. Total resistance of the parallel combination is also $2 ohm(2 \Omega)$.

~~ 23 Hint- If a current larger than a specified value flows in a circuit, temperature of fuse wire increases to its melting point. The fuse wire melts and the circuit breaks.

~~ 24 Hint- Use the formula $R=\rho \frac{l}{A}$. Also, $V=R I$. $R$ is doubled while $V$ remains unchanged. Hence current becomes $\frac{I}{2}$.

~~ 13 In the plane of the paper itself. The axis of the compass is vertical and the field due to the conductor is also vertical. It could result in a dip of compass needle which is not possible in this case (dips result only if axis of compass is horizontal). The deflection is maximum when the conductor through $A$ is perpendicular to the plane of paper and the field due to it is maximum in the plane of the paper.

~~ 14 Hint- (i) The current through the solenoid should be direct current.

(ii) The rod inside is made of a magnetic material such as steel.

~~ 15 Into the plane of paper at $P$ and out of it at $Q$. The strength of

the magnetic field is larger at the point located closer i.e. at $Q$.

~~ 16 The deflection increases. The strength of magnetic field is directly proportional to the magnitude of current passing through the straight conductor.

~~ 17 Hint- (i) Yes, Alpha particles being positively charged constitutes a current in the direction of motion. (ii) No. The neutrons being electrically neutral constitute no current.

~~ 18 The thumb indicates the direction of current in the straight conductor held by curled fingers, whereas the Fleming’s left-hand rule gives the direction of force experienced by current carrying conductor placed in an external magnetic field.

~~ 19 Strength of the magnetic field falls as distance increases. This is indicated by the decrease in degree of closeness of the lines of field.

~~ 20 The divergence, that is, the falling degree of closeness of magnetic field lines indicates the fall in strength of magnetic field near and beyond the ends of the solenoid.

~~ 21 Electric fans, mixers, washing machines, computer drives, etc. Motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy whereas generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.

~~ 22 The brushes are connected to the battery and touch the outer side of two halves of the split ring whose inner sides are insulated and attached to the axle.

~~ 23 Direct current always flows in one direction but the alternating current reverses its direction periodically. The frequency of AC in India is $50 Hz$ and in each cycle it alters direction twice. Therefore AC changes direction $2 \times 50=100$ times in one second.

~~ 24 Fuse is used for protecting appliances due to short-circuiting or overloading. The fuse is rated for a certain maximum current and blows off when a current more than the rated value flows through it. If a fuse is replaced by one with larger ratings, the appliances may get damaged while the protecting fuse does not burn off. This practice of using fuse of improper rating should always be avoided.

Long Answer Questions

~~ 25 Current carrying loops behave like bar magnets and both have their associated lines of field. This modifies the already existing earth’s magnetic field and a deflection results. Magnetic field has both direction and magnitude. Magnetic field lines emerge from $N$-pole and enter $S-$ pole. The magnetic field strength is represented diagrammatically by the degree of closeness of the field lines. Field lines cannot cross each other as two values of net field at a single point cannot exist. Only one value, a unique net value, can exist. If in a given region, lines of field are shown to be parallel and equispaced, the field is understood to be uniform.
