IV. Give very short answer

1. Temperature of Srinagar (J&K) is -4oC and in Kodaikanal is 3oC which of them has greater temperature? What is the difference between the temperatures of these two places?

Compared to Srinagar (J&K) , Kodaikanal has greater temperature. The difference in temperature is 7oC.


2. Jyothi was prepared to measure the temperature of hot water with a clinical thermometer. Is it right or wrong? Why?

It is wrong. We should not use clinical thermometers to measure temperature of objects other than human body. Because, clinical thermometers have very short temperature range.  If we do it, the glass may crack or burst due to pressure created by expansion of mercury.      


3. A clinical thermometer is not used to measure the temperature of air, why?

The range of clinical thermometers is very low so we cannot measure the temperature of air. 


4. What is the use of kink in a clinical thermometer?

Kink is used to prevent the flowing back of mercury, so that the temperature can be noted conveniently. 


5. Why do we jerk a clinical thermometer before we measure the body temperature?

We need to jerk a clinical thermometer to bring the level of mercury down to bulb.


V. Give short Answer. 

1. Why do we use Mercury in thermometers? Can water be used instead of mercury? What are the problems in using it?

Advantage of mercury:

  1. Its expansion is uniform.

  2. Its a good conductor of heat. 

  3. It has high boiling point (357oC) and a low freezing point (-39oC). Hence a wide range of temperature can be measured using a mercury thermometer. 

Water cannot be used to measure temperature as it does not expand on heating. 


2. Swathi kept a laboratory thermometer in hot water some time and took it out to read the temperature. Ramani said it was a wrong way of measuring temperature. Do you agree with Ramani? Explain your answer. 

I agree with Ramani. It was the wrong way of measuring temperature with laboratory thermometers. As there was no kink to control back flowing of mercury, we needed to read the temperature by keeping the thermometer in the heat source itself. We should not take it out to read the temperature.

 

3. The body temperature of Srinath is 99oF. Ih he suffering from fever? If so, why?

No, Srinath was not suffering from fever. The average internal temperature of humans are nearly equal to 99oF or 37oC.

Kink is absent, so mercury level falls on its own. 

3

Temperature can be measured after removing the thermometer from the armpit or mouth. 

Temperature should be read while keeping the thermometer in the source of temperature, e.g. a liquid or any other thing. 

4

Jerks should be given before measuring. 

No need to give jerk to lower mercury level.

5

Used only to check body temperature.

IX. Long Answer

1. Explain the construction and working of an Telephone. 

Construction of an Telephone:

  • The diaphragm is attached to spring that is fixed to the earpiece. 

  • When a current flows through the wires, the soft-iron bar becomes an electromagnet. 

  • The diaphragm becomes attracted to the electromagnet. 

Working: 

  • As the person on the other end of the line speaks, his voice cause the current in the circuit to change. This causes the diaphragm in the earpiece to vibrate,producing sound.

A dry cell is a type of chemical cell commonly used in the common form batteries for many electrical appliances. It is available in portable and compact form. It was developed by Yei Sakizo in 1887.

Construction of dry cell:

  • Dry cell consist of zinc vessel which acts as a negative electrode or anode. 

  • The vessel contains a moist paste of saw dust saturated with a solution of ammonium chloride and zinc chloride. 

  • The ammonium chloride acts as an electrolyte. 

  • The zinc chloride is to maintain the moistness of the paste being highly hygroscopic. 

  • The carbon rod covered with a brass cap is placed in the middle of the vessel. It acts as a positive electrode or cathode. 

  • It is surrounded by a closely packed mixture of charcoal and manganese dioxide (MnO2) in a muslin bag. MnO2 act as a depolarizer.

  • The zinc vessel is sealed at the top with pitch or shellac. 

  • A small hole is provided in it to allow the gases formed by the chemical action to escape. 

The Chemical action inside the cell is the same as in leclanche cell.

Ans

  • Cell is a basic structural and functional unit of life. 

  • The cells form tissues, tissues form organs, organ forms organ system, organ system forms organisms. 

  • Based on the number cells present organisms are classified into unicellular and multicellular organisms. 

  • Cell membrane is present in both plant and animal cells

  • But the cell wall is present only in plant cell. 

  • Cell contains several organelles which are involved is specific functions. 

  • Nucleus is one of the organelle which is the controlling centre of a cell. 



IX. Give long answer

1. Write about any three organelles in detail.

Nucleus:

  • Nucleus present in cytoplasm of the plant and animal cells. 

  • It is surrounded by a nuclear envelope.

  • It has one or two nucleoli and chromatin body. 

  • The chromatin body stores genetic information.

  • It control all the processes and the chemical reaction that take place inside the cell. 

  • Responsible for inheritance of character from one generation to another.

Chloroplasts:

  • Chloroplasts are green organelles seen in plant cells only. 

  • They can prepare food using sun as energy source and photosynthesize because of the presence of pigment chlorophyll in it. 

  • They absorb radiant energy of the sun and convert it to chemical energy to be used by plants. 

Mitochondria: 

  • Mitochondria ia a double membrane bounded organelle. 

  • Aerobic respiration occurs in mitochondria and energy is released. Hence mitochondria is called as power house of the cell. 

  • The energy produced is used for metabolic activities of the cell. 


2. In a situation how to explain, while your friend ask what is this, never seen before?

  • The above figure is a animal cell. 

  • It is a basic unit of an animal body. 

  • Animal cell contain cell membrane but lacks cell wall. 

  • It has several organelle like mitochondria, ribosomes, golgi apparatus, etc..

  • It has centrioles which are absent in plant cells. 

  • In cell nucleus is the controlling centre of the cell.


3. Compare the plant cell and animal cell and complete the illustration given below.

There are mainly seven categories namely, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species. 


2. Differentiate plantae and animalia.



Plantae

Animalia

Cells have no cell wall. 

3

E.g: insects, fish, mammals etc.,


3. Write any two merits of Five Kingdom classification. 

  • This system of classification is more scientific and natural. 

  • This system of classification clearly indicates the cellular organization, mode of nutrition, and characters for early evolution of life. 



VII. Give answer in Detail

1. Explain about five kingdom classification.

Five kingdom of classification was proposed by R.H. Whittaker in 1969. He classified the organisms into five kingdoms on the basis of characteristics like cell structure, mode of nutrition, source of nutrition and body organization. 


2. Write short notes on -Binomial Nomenclature. 

  • Gaspard Bauhin in 1623, introduced Binomial nomenclature. 

  • It was implemented by Carolus Linnaeas in 1753.

  • Carolus Linnaeas is known as Father of Modern Taxonomy. 

Binomial nomenclature:

  • It is the universal system of naming organisms. 

  • As per this system, each organisms has two names - the first is the Genus name, and the second is the species name. 

  • Genus name begins with a capital letter and Species name begins with a small letter. 

  • For example, the nomenclature for onion is Allium sativum. Genus name is Allium, species name is  sativam. 

  • Binomial nomenclature and classification helps scientists to identify any organisms and to place them at a particular hierarchy. 


3. Give an account on the classification of invertebrates with few general gestures and examples. 



IX. Hots

1. Which kingdom has saprophytic, parasitic and symbiotic nutrition. Why?

Kingdom Fungi comprises of unicellular to multicellular organisms which are heterotrophic in their mode of nutrition. They do not contain chlorophyll and cannot photosynthesize. Hence they show modes of nutrition such as; 

  • Saprophytic: Obtaining nutrition from dead matter. Eg. Mucor.

  • Parasitic: Obtaining nutrition from living organisms. Eg. Cercospora. 

  • Symbiotic: Obtaining nutrition through a mutually beneficial relationship with another organism. Eg. Lichens.
