SECTION – C
Section- C consists of three Cases followed by questions. There are a total of 12 questions in this section.
Attempt any 10 questions from this section .The first attempted 10 questions would be evaluated.
CASE:1
A student investigated the number of stomata pores on the upper and lower surface of a leaf. Stomata are tiny pores
present on the surface of leaves. Massive amounts of gaseous exchange takes place in the leaves through these pores
for the purpose of photosynthesis. But it is important to note here that exchange of gases occurs across the surface of
stems, roots and leaves as well. The guard cells swell when water flows into them, causing the stomatal pore to open.

52. Select the correct option which causes the loss of water from plant cells, causes flowers and leaves to wilt______.
(a) Loses it turgor pressure (c) Exposed to strong wind
(b) Loses its central vacuoles (d) Loses its central nucleus

CASE: II
The splitting of a beam of white light into seven constituent colours, when it passes through a glass prism, is called the
dispersion of light. When a beam of white light enters a prism, it gets refracted and splits into its seven constituent
colours, viz. violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. This splitting of the light ray occurs because of the
different angles of bending for each colour. Hence, each colour while passing through the prism bends at different
angles with respect to the incident beam. This gives rise to the formation of the coloured spectrum.
53. By which optical phenomenon does the splitting of white light into seven constituent colours occur?
(a) Refraction (b) Interference (c) Dispersion (d) Reflection
54. When white light enters a prism, it gets split into its constituent colours. This is due to
(a) Prism material have high density

(a) Violet (b) Green (c) Red (d) Yellow
56. White light is a mixture of
(a) Seven colours (b) Nine colours (c) Fourteen colours (d) Fifteen colours

the questions.
