in right-hand thumb rule.
2. On what basis is a chemical equation balanced?
Sol :
Chemical equations are balanced on the basic of law of conservation of mass. According to
which total mass of reactants is equal to the total mass of products during any chemical
change.
3. Name the plant hormones responsible for elongation of cells.
Sol:
Auxin and cytokinin are responsible for elongation of cells.
4. For making cake, baking powder is taken. If at home your mother uses baking soda instead of
baking powder in cake,
(a) how will it affect the taste of the cake and why?
(b) how can baking soda be converted into baking powder?
Sol :
(a) The cake will taste bitter as tartaric acid has not been added to baking soda (i.e. Baking
powder was not used) to neutralize the effect of the mild basic salt i.e. baking powder.
(b) Baking Soda can be converted into baking powder by adding tartaric acid to it.
5. In one of the industrial processes used for manufacture of sodium hydroxide, a gas X is
formed as by product. The gas X reacts with dry slaked lime to give a compound Y which is

Sol :
Solder alloy is formed by a homogeneous mixture of 50% lead (Pb) and 50% Tin (Sn). Solder
has a low melting point and high resistivity. Solder is used for welding electric wires so as to
prevent them from short circuiting .
7. A battery of 9 V is connected in series with resistors of 0.2 , 0.3 , 0.4 , 0.5 and 12
resistors. How much current would flow through the 12 resistor ?
Sol :
Potential different across terminals of battery (v) = qV
Total resistance, Rs = (.2+ .3 + .4 + .5 + 12)
= 13.4
As, in series combination current (I) is constant through all resistors, current through 12
resistance = current through the circuit, I = V
R

13.4
= 90

= 0.67 A
Therefore correct through 12 resistor is 0.67 A as current in series combination is same.
8. A student constructed a model of box type solar cooker. He used a transparent plastic sheet to
cover the open face of the box. He found that this cooker does not function well. What could be
the possible drawbacks in his model ? List any four drawbacks.
Sol :
He may not have used :
(i) black painted aluminium sheet
(ii) black cooking vessel to absorb heat radiation.
(iii) glass sheet, which prevents the escape of heat radiation from the box instead of plastic
sheet.
(iv) mirror plate which reflects the sunlight to fall on the glass sheet.

cell, due to difference in water concentration gradient, they swell up and stomatal pores open.
This is because inner linning of guard cells is thicker and outer membrane is thin due to which
they buldge outwards. When this water moves out of guard cells, they shrink and get flattened
leading to closing of stomatal pore.
11. "All plants give out oxygen during day and carbon dioxide during night". Do you agree with
this statement? Give reason.
Sol :
Yes this time, as during the day sunlight being present, they have to make food and for this
they give out oxygen and take in CO2 (Carbon dioxide) but during night they don’t perform
photosynthesis and hence release CO2 and take in O2 (oxygen for respiration).
Although respiration takes place during the day also but the amount of O2 released during
photosynthesis is much more than O2 consumed in the process of respiration.
12. What happens at the synapse between two neurons?
Sol :
At the synapse between two neurons, information is transferred from the axon endings of one
neuron to the dendrites of next neuron in the form of chemical impulse. In short, transfer of
information between two neurons takes place at the synapse.
13. Explain how does current flow in a conductor.
Sol :
A conductor contains a large number of free electrons which are always in random motion.
When a potential random motion. When a potential difference is maintained across such a
conductor using a battery the electrons drift towards the positive potential of the battery and
will now have a fixed direction. This causes an electric current. All the free electrons are
moving in the same direction with the same speed.

3. It is has no effect on growth of

3. It affects the growth of the body.
4. Its effects are short term. 4. Its effects may remain for long time period.
16. What is electrical resistivity? In a series, electrical circuit comprising a resistor made up of a
metallic wire, the ammeter reads 5 A. The reading of the ammeter decreases to half when the
length of the wire is doubled. Why?
Sol :
Electrical resistivity is the nature of a material to offer resistance to the flow of current of unit
length and unit area of cross-section.
Its symbol is .
(from R = × l

10
defined rating not be replaced by one with a larger rating?
Sol :
A fuse is having low melting point and high resistivity and allow of a limited maximum
current that can flow through it. When the current exceeds the maximum rated value, the fuse
melts and break the circuit, which prevents short-circuiting. A fuse with defined rating should
not be replaced by one with a larger rating, because the one with larger rating would allow a
larger amount of current to flow through it and will not break the circuit even if
short-circuiting is about to occur. Therefore, it can lead to short-circuiting and hence, is unsafe
to use.
18. Leaves of a healthy potted plant were coated with vaseline. Will this plant remain healthy for
long? Give reasons for your answer.
Sol :
If leaves of a healthy potted plant were coated with Vaseline, it would not remain healthy for
long. The plants photosynthesize and respire by taking carbon dioxide and oxygen through
air, respectively, and this is done by the stomatal pores present in their leaves. By coating with
Vaseline, the leaves would no longer be in contact with air and will not be able to take CO2 and
O2. Hence, they plant will die soon as they would not be able to prepare food for themselves
through photosynthesis and cannot respire too.
19. What are reflex actions? Give two examples. Explain a reflex arc.
Sol :
Sudden, unconscious, involuntary response to a stimulus is called reflex actions.
e.g., Knee jerk reflex, sneezing, coughing, etc.
During any reflex action, a message from receptors is relayed to sensory nerves to the spinal
cord, which sends information for response via motor nerves to effectors (which may either
be muscles or glands). This pathway is called as reflex arc.
Reflex arc is the path way through which the information travels to the spinal chord and then
the response is made.

By changing current in the coil A, a current will be induced in the coil B which is placed close
to A. This is due to the reason that magnetic filed lines linked with A also get linked with B due
to its being close to A. When the current in A changes, magnetic field lines linked with A
change. Obviously, magnetic filed lines linked with B also change. This changes the flux linked
with B. As a result of this, current is induced in the coil B.

points in the direction of the magnetic field and the central finger points in the direction of a
current, the thumb gives the direction of the force action on direction of the force acting on
the conductor.

Sol :
(a) (i) Adrenaline helps in dealing emergency situations as it is secreted when are very energy
as emotional, when we get excited etc. This hormone gives us enormous amount of energy
which helps as in responding to situations.
For eg. When me are afraid or scared of a person and that person suddenly comes in front of
us, we start running.
(ii) Secretion of growth hormones should be specified in human beings as if it is secreted in
extensive amount, it may result in gigantism and it released quite less, then it may result in
dwarfism. Therefore it should be secreted in a normal amount.
(iii) Some patients of diabetes are given injections of insulin as during diabetes a
comparatively less amount of insulin is secreted which doesn’t check the sugar level in our
body. So, in order to maintain the sugar level in our body, some patients are given injections
of insulin.
(b) It intake of iodine in our diet is low, less amount of thysoseinc will be produced by the
thyroid gland which may finally lead to a disease named goiter due to deficiency of iodine.
Thus adequate intake of iodine is essential for an body.
