Study the following statements carefully. Put "T" for the true statements. Put "F" for the false statements and
correct the word(s) underlined so as to make the statements true.
1. Nitrogen can be used to ll packed food in order to keep it fresh.
2. Liquid carbon dioxide can be used to freeze ice-cream.

3. When a splint is burning, the thermal energy stored in it is converted into other kinds of energy.

4 We need energy when we are sleeping.

A re blanket is used to put out a re in order to cut off the supply of fuel.
6. In photosynthesis, starch is required as raw material and is usually obtained from soil.
7. Green plants can produce oxVgen in photosynthesis and make the air in our city fresher.
8. The chemical symbol of water is H;O.

Section C: Fill in the Blanks (2 marks@, 10%)

Fill in each blank with ONE word only.
