Section –Consists of three cases followed by questions. There are a total 12 questions in this
section . Attempt any 10 questions from this section.
Case Amoeba is an animal having no fixed shape.It ingests food particles by formation of
temporary finger‐like projections. The food vacoule inside amoeba breaks down
the food into small and soluble molecules.

Case The relationship between the distance of object from the lens (u), distance of image
from the lens (v) and the focal length (f) of the lens is called lens formula. It can be
written as 1/f=1/v-1/u. The size of image formed by a lens depends on the position of
the object from the lens. A lens of short focal length has more power whereas a lens of
long focal length has less power. When the lens is convex, the power is positive and
for concave lens, the power is negative.
The magnification produced by a lens is the ratio of height of image to the height of
object as the size of the image relative to the object is given by linear magnification
(m). When, m is negative, image formed is real and when m is positive, image formed
is virtual. If m < 1, size of image is smaller than the object. If m > 1, size of image is
larger than the object.
53 An object 4 cm in height is placed at a distance of 10 cm from a convex lens of focal

length 20 cm. The position of image is

distance of 10 cm in front of lens. The focal length of lens is
a)12 cm b) -12.5 cm c) 10 cm d) -10 cm
56 A concave lens of focal length 5 cm, the power of lens is

a) 0.2D b)-0.2 D c) -2D d) -20D
Case C.It is very interesting to note that our stomach produces hydrochloric acid. It helps

Read the following and answer the following questions:
Ionic compound is a chemical compound in which ions are held together by ionic bonds. An
ionic bond is the type of chemical bond in which two oppositely charged ions are held through
electrostatic forces. We know that, metal atoms have loosely bound valence electrons in their
valence shell and non-metal atoms need electrons in their valence shell to attain noble gas
configuration. The metal atom loses the valence electrons while non-metal atom accepts these
electrons. By losing electrons, metal atoms change to cations and by accepting electrons, non-
metals form anions. Ionic compounds are generally solid and exist in the form of crystal. They
have high melting and boiling points.

Lymphatic system consists of lymph, lymph capillaries, lymph vessels, lymph nodes. Fluid
diffuses through the very thin walls of the capillaries into the tissue spaces. It contains
minerals, nutrients and fewer proteins and nourishes the tissues. This tissue fluid is called
lymph. The lymphatic system helps to transport this tissue fluid back into the main blood
stream, From intercellular spaces, lymph goes into lymphatic capillaries. Lymphatic capillaries
join to form large lymph vessels that drain into collecting ducts. These empty the lymph into
the two subclavian veins, located below the collar bones. These veins join to form the superior
vena cava. Lymph flows only in direction that is from tissues to heart through veins.

Case study 1
pH is quite useful to us in a number of ways in daily life. Some of its applications are:
Control of pH of the soil : Plants need a specific pH range for proper growth. The soil may be
acidic, basic or neutral depending upon the relative concentration of H+ and OH-. The pH of any
soil can be determined by using pH paper. If the soil is too acidic, it can be corrected by adding
lime to it. If the soil is too basic, it can be corrected by adding organic manure which contains
acidic materials.
Self-defence by animals through chemical warfare : Stings of bees and ants contain
methanoic acid. When stung, it causes lot of pain and irritation. This can be cured by rubbing
the affected area with mild base like baking soda.
49. P is an aqueous solution of acid and Q is an aqueous solution of base. When these

They create by-products that are not only unclean for the cells of the body, but could even be
harmful. These waste by-products are therefore needed to be removed from the body and
disordered outline by a process called excretion. Again if the basic rules for body design in
multi-cellular organisms are followed, a specialized tissue for excretion will be developed ,
which means that the transportation system, will need to transport waste away from cells to
this excretory tissue.

A concave lens in thick at the edges and thin at the centre, while a convex lens is thick at the
centre and thin at the edges. We can distinguish between a concave lens and a convex lens
without touching them. For this keep a book close to a lens and observe the image of the text of
the book through the lens. If the letters appear diminished then it is a concave lens.
Convex lens converges light rays and hence known as converging lens. Similarly concave lens
diverged light rays and is known as diverging lens. Linear magnification produced by a lens is
equal to the ratio of the image distance to the object distance. Power of a lens is defined as the
reciprocal of its focal length.

28. (B) Has low melting point
29. (A) An increase in the pH of solution
30. (B) Tartaric acid
31. B-when we add water in the acid it will be highly exothermic reaction which will
be dangerous so we must add acid in the water because it's not dangerous.
32. C- Copper is heated with the oxygen present in the air and forms a black-
coloured substance on its surface.
33. A- Due to entry of water into it, a positive pressure develops in a plant cell or
system. This positive hydrostatic pressure is also known as turgor pressure.
Turgor pressure keeps the cells and their organelles stretched; this is essential
for proper functioning of a cell. It gives support to non-woody tissues like
parenchyma. During growth, turgor pressure is essential for cell enlargement.
34. D-Refraction is the bending of light rays after entering a medium where its speed
is different. Due to refraction of light, when a ray of light passes from a rarer
medium to a denser medium, bends towards the normal to the boundary
between the two media.
35. A. (a) —> (iv) (b) —> (iii) (c) —> (ii) (d) —> (i)
36. B-As the heart pumps blood, a series of valves open and close tightly. These
valves ensure that blood flows in only one direction, preventing backflow.
- The tricuspid valve is situated between the right atrium and right ventricle.
- The pulmonary valve is between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.
- The mitral valve is between the left atrium and left ventricle.
The aortic valve is between the left ventricle and the aorta
37. C-Small intestine is largest part of alimentary canal.
38. C-The transpiration process, pulls water upwards with the help of-cohesion and
adhesion properties of water molecules. According to transpiration pull theory,
due to transpiration, the water column inside the plant comes under tension.
This is called 'transpiration Puli'. On account of this tension, the water column is
pulled up passively from below to top of the plant (almost like a rope). Root
pressure is the pressure that forces water, absorbed from the soil, to move
through the roots and up i.e., pushes it up) the stem of a plant. It may be due to
both the osmosis of water from the soil into the root cells, and the active
pumping of salts into xylem tissue which maintains a concentration gradient
along which the water moves
39. B-Concave lenses always produce images that are upright, virtual, reduced in
size, and located on the object's side of the lens. Therefore, the magnification
produced by a concave lens is always less than 1.
40. B-Given, height of object = 10 mm, height of image = 5 mm, image distance = -30
cm,
Magnification `=(h’)/h`
`=5/(10)=1/2=0.5`
Since, `m=v/u`
Or, `0.5=(-30text(cm))/u`
Or, `u=-(30)/(0.5)=-60` cm
Mirror formula `1/v+1/u=1/f`
Or, `-1/(60)-1/(30)=1/f`
Or, `(-1-2)/(60)=1/f`
Or, `1/f=-3/(60)=-1/(20)`
Or, `f=-20` cm
