QUESTIONS FOR CLASS 10TH
1.Why is it necessary to balance a chemical

equations ? (Cbse 2019)
Solution:-
We know that, according to the law of
conservation of mass, the
total mass of all the atoms present in the
reactants should be
equal to that of all the atoms present in the
products. This law will
hold good only when the number of atoms of all
types of elements on both sides is equal. Thus
balancing of chemical
equation is necessary so that the law of
conservation of mass
may be obeyed.
2. Write the use of decomposition reactions.

(Cbse 2018)
CREATIVE LEARNING JUNIOR 2.0

Answer:-:- The decomposition reactions
carried out by electricity are used to
extract several metals from their naturally
occurring compounds like
chlorides and oxides.
When passing electricity decomposes the fused
metal chloride or metal
oxide, then metal is produced at the cathode.
3.What are the characteristics of chemical

reactions? (Cbse 2017)
Answer:- Evolution of gas , formation of a

precipitate , change in colour, change in
temperature, change in state.
4. What are bases and alkalies ? (Cbse 2016)
Answer :- Oxides and hydroxides of metals and

metal like radicals (e.g.,
NH4+ ions) are called bases. Bases ionise to
give OH– ions in
aqueous solution. Bases may be soluble or
insoluble in water.

The soluble bases are called alkalies. Thus all
alkalies are bases
but all bases are not alkalies.
Examples
NaOH and Cu (OH)2 both are bases, but, since
NaOH is soluble
in water, it is an alkali. On the other hand, since
Cu (OH)2 is
insoluble in water, it is not an alkali. Other
examples of alkalies
are KOH, Ca (OH)2 and NH4OH.
5.Name the two stages of photosynthesis.

(Cbse 2018)
Answer:- the two stages are :

Light reaction and dark reaction.
6.Name the factors affecting photosynthesis.
Answer :- the factors affecting photosynthesis

are light , water, temperature, humidity, age of
the leaf and carbon dioxide.

7.What are stomata and lenticels ?(CBSE 2019)
Answer:- Stomata are tiny apertures found on

the surface of
the leaf, which regulate the exchange of
respiratory
gases and transpiration.
Lenticels are the raised pores in the woody
plants
that allow the exchange of gases between the
atmosphere and the internal tissues.
8. Give two points of difference between

respiration in plants and respiration in
animals. (Cbse 2019)
Answer :- The respiration in plants differ from
respiration in animals in
two respects, they are
(i) There is minimal transport of gases from one
part of
the plant to another, unlike the animals.
(ii) Plant respiration occurs at a much slower
rate than

animal respiration.
9. Name the respiratory organs of :-

fish , mosquito, earthworm, dog

prominent part of the brain
12. Define reflex arc ? (Cbse 2013)

Answer :- the pathway taken by the netve
impulse in a reflex action , from receptor organ
to spinal cord and back to effector organ of
reflex action is called reflex arc. Recepter organ
could be sense organs such as eyes, skin, etc.
13. State one example of chemotropism?

Answer :- Growth of pollen tube towards the
ovule due to chemical stimulus
during the process of fertilisation in a flower is
an example of
chemotropism.
14. Define phototropism. Name the plant

hormone which is responsible for
phototropism. (Cbse 2014)
Answer :- Phototropism is the movement of a part
of the plant in response to

light. Shoots generally grow towards light and are
said to be positively phototropic, while roots grow
away from light and are said to be
negatively phototropic.
The growth movement of the plant part (stem) is
caused by the action
of auxin hormone. Auxin causes cell elongation.
Thus, causing growth of
stem towards the light stimulus.
15. State the fuction of Thyroxine in human

body.
Answer:- thyroxine regulates carbohydrates,
proteins and fat metabolism in the body . It
promotes growth of body tissues also.
16. How can we control hyperthyroidism?

Answer :- hyperthyroidism can be controlled by
using iodised salt.
17. What is DNA ? (Cbse 2011)

Answer :- DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a
polymer made up of large number of

nucleotide units. It carries genetic information
from generation to
generation.
18. What is DNA copying ? And why is it

important? (Cbse 2021)
Answer:- DNA copying is the production of
similar copies of DNA present in a cell
using various chemical reactions. DNA copying
is essential for
reproduction through which the organisms pass
on their body features
to their offspring. Moreover, minor alternations
during the process of
DNA copying result in the production of
variations. Such variations are
useful for the survival of species over time.
19. Name the method by which Spirogyra

reproduces under favourable
conditions. Is this method sexual or
asexual?
Answer :-The method by which Spirogyra
reproduces under favorable conditions

is fragmentation. This is an asexual mode of
reproduction.

•Regeneration and
•Fragmentation
21. Define multiple fission. Give its one

example.
Answer :- Multiple fission is an asexual mode of
reproduction in which the parent
organism splits to form many new organisms at
the same time. Multiple
fission occurs in Plasmodium.
22. Which contraceptive method changes the

hormonal balance of the body?

Answer:- chemical contraceptive methods
changes the hormonal balance of the body
23. List two functions of ovary of human

female reproductive system ?
Answer :- Two functions of ovary of human
female are:
*Production of female gametes, i.e., ova
*Secretion of female hormones, i.e., estrogen
and progesterone.
24. What is the main difference between
sperms and eggs of humans?
Write the importance of this
difference.(cbse2016)
Answer:- The main difference between sperms

and eggs of humans is that a
sperm has X or Y chromosome whereas egg
has X chromosome. This
helps in determination of the sex of a person
and maintaining the
genetic continuity in the organisms.

25. Mendelian experiment consisted of
breeding pea plants bearing
violet flowers with pea plants bearing white
flowers. What will be the
result in F1 progeny?
Answer:- According to the Mendelian

experiment, violet coloqr (VV) is a
dominant trait while white colour (ww) is a
recessive trait. Hence, the
colour of the flower in F1 progeny will be violet
(Vw).
26. What is a gene? (Cbse2011)

Answer :- gene is a unit of DNA on a
chromosome which governs the synthesis
of particular protein that controls specific
characteristics (or traits) of
an organism.
27. What is heredity?

Answer:- The inheritance of characters (or
trails) from the parents to their
offsprings is called heredity.

28. State the two laws of reflection of light
?(cbse2018)
Answer:- Laws of reflection of light states that
(i) The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of
reflection.
(ii) The incident ray, the reflected ray and the
normal to the mirror
at the point of incidence all lie in the same plane.
29. What is the magnification of the images

formed by plane mirrors and why?
Answer:- Magnification of images formed by
plane mirrors is unity because for
plane mirrors, the size of the image formed is
equal to that of the
object.
30. Draw a labelled ray diagram to show the

path of the reflected ray corresponding to an
incident ray of light parallel to the principal
axis of a convex mirror. Mark the angle of
incidence and angle of reflection on it .
Answer :-

31. Name the type of mirrors used in the
design of solar fufurnaces. Explain how high
temperature is achieved by this device .
(Cbse 2017)
Answer :- Concave mirrors are used in the
designing of solar furnaces.
When a solar furnace is placed at the focus of a
large concave mirror, it
focuses a parallel beam of light on the furnace.
Therefore, a high
temperature is attained at the point after some
time.

32. List two properties of the images formed
by convex mirrors. Draw ray diagram in
support of your answer. (Cbse2016)
Answer:-
Concave mirrors are always form diminished , virtual

and erect images.
33. Define the term power of accommodation.

Write the modification in the curvature of the
eye lens which enables us to see the nearby
objects clearly? (Cbse 2018)
Answer:- The ability of the eye lens to adjust its

focal length is called power of
accommodation. The ciliary muscles modifies
the curvature to some
extent. The change in the curvature of the eye
lens can thus change its
focal length. When the ciliary muscles contract,
the lens becomes thick
and its focal length decreases, thus enables us
to see nearby objects
clearly.
34. List two causes of hypermetropia?

Answer :- Hypermetropia is caused due to
following reasons:
(i) Shortening of the eyeball
(ii) Focal length of crystalline lens is too long.
35. Define electric current . (2019)

Answer :- electric current is the amount of
charge flowing through a particular unit of area.

Answer:- one ampere is constituted by the flow
of one coulomb of charge per second
1A= 1Cs/1
38. State Ohm's law . (Cbse 2020)

Answer:- It states that the potential difference V,
across the ends of a given
metallic wire in an electric circuit is directly
proportional to the current
flowing through it, provided its temperature
remains the same.
Mathematically,
V∝I
V= RI
where R is the resistance of the conductor.
39. What is meant by magnetic field.?

Answer :-;Magnetic field : It is defined as the
space surrounding the magnet in
which magnetic force can be experienced.
40. What us solenoid? (2016)

Answer:- Solenoid : A coil of many circular turns
of insulated copper wire
wrapped in the shape of cylinder is called
solenoid.
41. What is magnetic field lines?(2020)

Answer:- Magnetic field lines : These are the
imaginary close curves which are
used to represent the magnetic field around the
magnet.
42. List two biotic components of a

biosphere? ( 2020)
Answer:- Two biotic components of a biosphere
are:
(i) Producers – Include organisms which can
produce their food
using simple inorganic compounds, e.g., all
green plants, blue
green algae (cyanobacteria).
(ii) Consumers – Include organisms which are
unable to synthesise
their food, therefore, utilise materials and energy
stored by the
producers or eat other organisms, e.g., all the
animals
43. Why are green plants called producers?

Answer :- Green plants are called producers
because they manufacture their

own food with the help of CO2 and H2O in the
presence of sunlight
and chlorophyll.
44. List two examples of natural ecosystem?

Answer :- Forest ecosystem
And River ecosystem.
45. What is meant by the term Biomass?

Answer:- biomass is the total amount of living
organic matter in an ecosystem at any time.
46. What is meant by biological

magnifications? (Cbse 2019)
Answer :- Biological magnification or

biomagnification refers to the process of
accumulation of non- biodegradable chemicals
(pesticides, etc.) into
the body of organisms through the food chain
which go on
increasing in its concentration at each trophic
level.

47. What is an ecosystem? (Cbse 2016)
Answer :- An ecosystem is defined as a
structural and functional unit of the
biosphere. It comprises of living organisms and
their non-living
environment that interact by means of food
chains and biogeochemical cycles resulting in
energy-flow, biotic diversity and material
cycling to form stable self-supporting system.
48. What are covalent compounds? Why are

they different from ionic compounds? List
their three characteristic properties. (Delhi
2016)
Answer:
Covalent compounds are those compounds
which are formed by sharing of valence
electrons between the atoms e.g., hydrogen
molecule is formed by mutual sharing of
electrons between two hydrogen atoms.
They are different from ionic compounds as ionic
compounds are formed by the complete transfer
of electrons from one atom to another e.g., NaCl
is formed when one valence electron of sodium

gets completely transferred to outer shell of
chlorine atom. The characteristic properties of
covalent compounds are:
(i) They are generally insoluble or less soluble in
water but soluble in organic solvents.
(ii) They have low melting and boiling points.
(iii) They do not conduct electricity as they do
not contain ions.
49. Give reasons for the following:

(i) Element carbon forms compounds mainly
by covalent bonding.
(ii) Diamond has high melting point.
(iii) Graphite is a good conductor of
electricity. (3/5, Foreign 2011)
Answer:- (i) As carbon has four valence

electrons and it can neither loose nor gain lour
electrons thus, it attains noble gas configuration
only by sharing of electrons. I bus, it forms
covalent compounds.
(ii) In diamond, each carbon atom is bonded to
four other carbon atoms forming a rigid
three-dimensional structure. This makes

diamond the hardest known substance. Thus, it
has high melting point.
(iii) In graphite, each carbon atom is bonded to
three other carbon atoms by covalent bonds in
the same plane giving a hexagonal array. Thus,
only three valence electrons are used for bond
formation and hence, the fourth valence electron
is free to move. As a result, graphite is a good
conductor of electricity.
50. Elements forming ionic compounds

attain noble gas electronic configuration by
either gaining or losing electrons from their
valence shells. Explain giving reason why
carbon cannot attain such a configuration in
this manner to form its compounds. Name
the type of bonds formed in ionic
compounds and in the compounds formed
by carbon. Also explain with reason why
carbon compounds are generally poor
conductors of electricity. (Foreign 2015, AI
2014)
Answer:- Ionic compounds are formed either by
gaining or losing electrons from the outermost

shells, but carbon which has four electrons in its
outermost shell cannot form ionic bonds
because
1. If carbon forms ionic bonds by gaining four
electrons to attain a noble gas configuration then
it would be difficult for six protons in the nucleus
to hold ten electrons.
2. If carbon forms ionic bonds by loss of four
electrons then it would require a lot of energy to
remove these electrons from outermost shell.
Due to these reasons carbon forms covalent

bonds by sharing the valence electrons.
Type of bonds formed in ionic compounds are
called electrovalent bonds and the type of bonds
formed in carbon compounds are called covalent
bonds.
51. Reproduction is one of the most

important characteristic ‘of living beings.
Give three reasons in support of the
statement. (AI 2017)
Answer:

Reproduction is one of the most important
characteristics of living beings because :
it is essential for existence and continuity of a

species.
it helps to pass genetic information to next
generation.
it brings variations in next generation which is
the basis for evolution.
52. Define reproduction. How does it helps in

providing stability to the population of
species? (AI 2016)
Answer:
The production of new organisms by the existing
organisms of the same species is known as
reproduction. It is linked to the stability of
population of a species. DNA replication during
reproduction ensures transfer of specific
characters or body design features that is
essential for an individual of a population to live
and use that particular niche. Some variations
present in a few individuals of population caused

due to reproduction which also helps in their
survival at changing niches.
53. What is DNA copying? State its

importance. (Delhi 2015)
Answer:
DNA copying is the production of similar copies
of DNA present in a cell using various chemical
reactions. DNA copying is essential for
reproduction through which the organisms pass
on their body features to their offspring.
Moreover, minor alternations during the process
of DNA copying result in the production of
variations. Such variations are useful for the
survival of species over time.
54. What is the effect of DNA copying, which

is not perfectly accurate, on the reproduction
process? How does the amount of DNA
remain constant through each new
generation is a combination of DNA copies
of two individuals? (AI 2014)
Answer:

In the process of reproduction, if DNA copying is
not perfectly accurate, variation occurs. These in
turn may allow few individuals of a population to
survive in an altered niche and becomes the
basis of evolution and over time. Such variations
are useful for the survival of species.
The combination of DNA copies of two
individuals, (male and female) occurs during
sexual reproduction. Reduction division
(meiosis) during gamete formation halves the
chromosome number in both male and female
gametes. Since these two gametes fuse during
fertilisation, the original number of chromosomes
(as in the parent) is restored in the offspring. By
this way the amount of DNA remains constant in
each new generation.
55. What happens when a Planaria gets cut

into two pieces? (Delhi 2016)
Answer:
When Planaria is cut into two pieces then each
piece grows into a complete organism. This is
known as regeneration.

56. What happens when a mature Spirogyra
filament attains considerable length? (AI
2016)
Answer:
When a mature Spirogyra filament attains
considerable length it simply breaks into two or
more fragments and each fragment then grows
into a new Spirogyra.
57. List four advantages of vegetative

propagation. (Delhi 2014)
Answer:
The following are the advantages of vegetative
propagation:
The characters of the parent plants are

preserved hence a good variety produced can
be propagated by vegetative means.
The plants, which do not produce viable seeds
or produce very few seeds, can be reproduced
by this method. For example, banana, potato,
grapes, sugarcane, rose, orange, etc.
It is an easier, quicker and cheaper method of
propagation.

It is easier to get rid of pathogen from any part of
plant by vegetative propagation.
58. (a) What is peristaltic movement?

(b) ‘Stomata remain closed in desert plants
during daytime’. How do they do
photosynthesis? (Board Term I, 2013)
Answer:
(a) The relaxation of gut muscles to move the
partially digested food downwards throughout
the alimentary canal is called peristaltic
movement.
(b) In desert plants, stomata open at night and
take in carbon dioxide (CO2). Stomata remain
closed during daytime to prevent the loss of
water by transpiration. They store the CO2 in
their cells until the sun comes out so that they
can carry on with photosynthesis during the
daytime.
59. (a) Why is nutrition necessary for the

human body?
(b) What causes movement of food inside the
alimentary canal?

(c) Why is small intestine in herbivores
longer than in carnivores?
(d) What will happen if mucus is not secreted
by the gastric glands? (2020)
Answer:
(a) Human body continuously require energy for
their life activities like respiration, circulation,
excretion, etc. Energy is required even we are
sleeping because a number of biological
processes keep on occurring. All these
processes require energy and this energy is
obtained from nutrition. Nutrition is also needed
for growth and repair of human body.
(b) The wall of alimentary tract contains muscles

which can contract and expand alternately. The
contraction and expansion movement of the
walls of foodpipe is called peristaltic movement.
The peristaltic movement moves the partially
digested food in all the digestive organs
throughout the alimentary canal.
(c) Herbivores eat plants which is rich in

cellulose. Cellulose takes longer time for

complete digestion by the enzymes present in
symbiotic bacteria. Therefore, they have longer
small intestine. Carnivores, feed on flesh which
is easier to digest and do not contain cellulose
also. Therefore, they have shorter intestine for
digestion of food eaten by them.
(d) Gastric glands secrete HCl, mucus, rennin

and pepsin enzymes. Mucus protects the inner
lining of stomach from the action of HCl and
enzymes. In the absence of mucus, there would
be erosion of inner lining of stomach leading to
acidity and ulcers.
60. Draw a neat and clean diagram of open

stomata and closes stomata.

65. Draw tye longitudinal section of a flower.
Answer :-
66. (a) State the form in which the following

are stored:
(i) Unused carbohydrates in plants.

(ii) The energy derived from food in humans,
(b) Describe the process of nutrition in
Amoeba with the help of diagram. (Board
Term I, 2016)
Answer:
(a) (i) Unused carbohydrates in plants are stored
in the form of complex sugar known as starch.
They are later broken down into simple sugars
(glucose) when energy is needed.
(ii) The assimilated food molecules hold energy
in their chemical bonds. Their bond energy is
released by oxidation in the cell. This energy is
trapped by forming bonds between ADP
(adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic
phosphate (Pi) to synthesise ATP (Adenosine
triphosphate) molecules. These bonds are later
broken by enzymatic hydrolysis and the energy
released is utilised for cellular processes.
(b) Amoeba is a unicellular animal. Amoeba eats

tiny (microscopic) plants and animals which float

in water. The mode of nutrition in Amoeba is
holozoic. The process of obtaining food by
Amoeba is called phagocytosis. When a food
particle comes close to Amoeba, it ingests the
food particle by forming temporary finger-like
projections called pseudopodia around it. The
food is engulfed with a little surrounding water to
form a food vacuole inside the Amoeba. The
food is digested inside food vacuole by digestive
enzymes and absorbed directly into the
cytoplasm of Amoeba cell by diffusion. A part of
absorbed food is used to obtain energy and the
remaining part is utilised for growth of Amoeba.
When considerable amount of undigested food
collects inside Amoeba then its cell membrane
ruptures at any place to throw out this
undigested food. This process is called egestion.
67. Diffusion is insufficient to meet the

oxygen requirement of multicellular
organisms like human. State reason. (Board
Term 1,2017)
Answer:

Due to higher metabolic rate and the volume of
human body is so large that oxygen cannot
diffuse into all cells of the body quickly as
oxygen will have to travel large distances to
reach each and every cell. So diffusion is
insufficient to meet the oxygen demand of
multicellular organisms.

are CH3Cl and CH3CH2Cl.
76. Write the molecular formula of the 2nd

and 3rd member of the homologous series
whose first member is ethene. (AI 2017)
Answer:
Homologous series of alkenes have general
formula, CnH2n whose first member is ethene.
2nd member of homologous series of alkenes is
C3H6 i.e., propene.
3rd member of homologous series of alkenes is
C4H8 i.e., butene.
77. Write the next homologue of each of the

following:
(i) C2H4
(ii) C4H6 (Delhi 2016)
Answer:
(i) C2H4 belongs to alkene series having
general formula, CnH2n.
Thus, next homologue will be C3H2×3 = C3H6

(ii) C4H6 belongs to alkyne series having
general formula, CnH2n-2.
Thus, next homologue will be C5H2×5-2 = C5H8
78. State two properties of carbon which lead

to a very large number of carbon
compounds. (2/5, AI 2011)
Answer:
Carbon forms a large number of carbon
compounds like long chains which may be
straight or branched chains or ring of different
sizes due to its tetravalency ahd unique property
of catenation. Carbon due to its small size forms
exceptionally stable compounds by forming
strong bonds.
79. Why are most carbon compounds poor

conductors of electricity?
Answer:- Due lo catenation, carbon forms
covalent bonds with the constituent elements in
the carbon compounds, hence it does not have
mobile electrons and carbon compounds do not

dissociate themselves into ions and hence, they
are poor conductor of electricity.
80. To. a solution of sodium hydroxide in a

test tube, two drops of phenolphthalein are
added.
(i) State the colour change observed.
(ii) If dil HCl is added dropwise to the
solution, what will be the colour change?
(iii) On adding few drops of NaOH solution to
the above mixture the colour of the solution
reappears. Why? (Board Term I, 2013)
Answer:
(i) On adding phenolphthalein to NaOH solution,
the colour becomes pink.
(ii) On adding dilute HCl solution dropwise to the
same test tube, the pink colour disappears and
the solution again becomes colourless.
(iii) On again adding NaOH to the above
mixture, pink colour reappears because the
medium becomes basic again.
81. (a) Write the chemical name and formula

of marble.

(b) It has been found that marbles of Taj are
getting corroded due to development of
industrial areas around it. Explain this fact
giving a chemical equation.
Answer:- (a) The chemical formula of marble

(lime stone) is CaCO3. Its chemical name is
calcium carbonate.
(b) Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the

world situated at Agra, is continuously losing its
luster day by day due to rapid industrialisation
which causes acid rain.
The sulphuric acid present in the acid rain
causes the marble (CaCO3) to be washed off as
calcium sulphate (CaSO4), leading to the
deterioration of such a splendid piece of
architecture.
82. Complete and balance the following

chemical equations :(cbse 2015)

(iv) Sodium hydroxide
(v) Potassium hydroxide
(vi) Magnesium hydroxide (Board Term 1,
2017)
Answer:- Dissociation of various substances to
produce ions in their solutions are :
(i) Hydrochloric acid (HCl):
HCl(aq) ⇌ H+(aq) + Cl–(aq)
(ii) Nitric acid (HNO3

HNO3(aq) ⇌ + H+aq + NO–3(aq)

(iii) Sulphuric acid (H2SO4):
H2SO4(aq) ⇌ 2H+(aq) + SO2-4(aq)
(iv) Sodium hydroxide (NaOH):

NaOH(aq) ⇌ Na+(aq) + OH–(aq)
(v) Potassium hydroxide (KOH) :

KOH(aq)⇌ K+(aq) + OH–(aq)
(vi) Magnesium hydroxide [Mg(OH)2] :

Mg(OH)2(aq) ⇌ Mg2++(aq) + 2OH– (aq)
84. Trace the sequence of events which

occur when a bright light is focused on your
eyes. (Delhi 2019)
Answer:
When a bright light enters the eye then most of
the refraction for the light rays entering the eye
occurs at the outer surface of the cornea. Then,
the crystalline lens merely provides the finer
adjustment of focal length required to focus
object at different distances on the retina. The
pupil regulates and controls the amount of light
entering the eye. At retina, the light-sensitive

cells get activated upon illumination and
generate electric signals. These signals are sent
to the brain via the optic nerves. The brain
interprets these signals and finally, processes
the information so that we perceive objects as
they are.
85. Write about power of accommodation of

human eye. Explain why the image distance
in the eye does not change when we change
the distance of an object from the eye?
(Delhi 2017)
Answer:
The ability of the eye lens to adjust its focal
length is called power of accommodation.
The ciliary musqles modifies the curvature to
some extent. The change in the curvature of the
eye lens can thus change its focal length. Thus,
the focal length of the human lens increases or
decreases depending on the distance of the
object value to this distance of the image does
not change. For example, when the ciliary
muscles are relaxed, the lens becomes thin and

its focal length increases, thus enables us to see
distant object clearly.
