उत्तर

The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing due to increased human activities like burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, etc. which cause the rise in global temperatures. This global warming result in melting of polar ice caps, floods in coastal areas, disturbance in hydrogenic cycle etc. Thus "Human activities are harmful to the balance of nature".

A healthy oat seeding in a pot is transferred from light to any airy but completely dark room. How would it differ from its original condition in appearance after about a week? Explain the difference.


The diagram alongside refers to an experiment in which the apparatus was set up with the light source 10 cm away from the plant. After 15 minutes the number of bubbles evolved per minute from the cut stem was recorded. The light source was moved to 20 cm away from the plant, left for 15 minutes and the number of bubbles evolved per minute was again recorded. The experiment was repeated with the light source at distances of 40, 60, 80 and 100 cm away from the plant. Plot a graph for the results obtained and answer the following questions.

(i) From the graph it seems likely that the rate of bubbling per minute at 50 cm would have been
(a) 2.0 (b) 2.5 (c) 3.0 (d) 3.5
(ii) The gas produced by the plant during the experiment was
(a) air (b) oxygen (c) carbon dioxide (d) nitrogen (e) hydrogen
(iii)    The gas collected comes due to the breakdown of
(a) glucose (b) starch (c) water (d) air (e) ATP
(iv) If ice cubes were added to the water, the rate of bubble formation would
(a) Stay the same.
(b) Increase because more water is added.
(c) Decrease because the temperature drops.
(d) Decrease because water freezes.
(e) Cannot tell from the information given.
(v) If some sodium bicarbonate is added to the water the rate of bubble formation
(a) Increases because more respiration occurs.
(b) Increases because more photosynthesis occurs.
(c) Increases because the gas becomes less soluble.
(d) Decreases because carbon dioxide acts as a limiting factor.
(e) Decreases because respiration decreases.


Given below is the representation of a certain phenomenon in nature. With four organisms 1-4.

  1. Name the phenomenon represented.
  2. Name any one organism that could be shown at No. 5.
  3. Name the biological process which was the starting point of the whole chain.
  4. Name one natural element which all the organisms 2-4 and even 5 are getting from No. 1 for their survival.

Given alongside is the diagram of an experimental set-up:

  1. What is the objective of this experiment?
  2. Will it work satisfactorily? Give reason.
  3. What alteration(s) will you make in it for obtaining expected result?
  4. Would you take any steps before starting the experiment? Describe this step and explain its necessity.

Chlorophyll is necessary for photosynthesis.


Give technical term:

Name only one plant, you are familiar with which has no chlorophyll.


Choose the Odd One Out


Given below is the figure of an experimental set-up, showing a physiological act of the plants. Study and answer the following questions:

  4. How do we destarch the leaves?
  5. What will be the observation when we pour iodine solution over the bleached experimental leaf?
  6. Write a well-balanced equation for the above process.

Give reasons/explain:

During the starch test, the leaf is boiled in water.


Give reasons/explain:

During the starch test, the leaf is boiled in methylated spirit.
