CHAPTER
1 Plants System

CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE QUESTIONS

1. Photosynthesis does not take place in animals but it is beneficial for animals
also. How?
Ans: Photosynthesis does not take place in animals due to lack of chlorophyll in them. But,
photosynthesis is very beneficial for animals in following ways.
a) Oxygen is produced in the process of photosynthesis which is then used by
animals.
b) During the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is used to produce food
(glucose). So plants reduce carbon dioxide concentration from environment.
c) Animals that eat plants acquire their energy from the store sugar in plants and
animals that eat those animals obtain that same energy.
2. Plants produced food and oxygen during photosynthesis, which does not take
place at night. Where do plants get oxygen from for respiration at night?
Ans: plants get oxygen from the surrounding environment for the process of respiration at
night.
3. Why should not we sleep under tree at night?
Ans: we should not sleep under tree at night because at night, plants use surrounding
oxygen directly from the environment and release carbon dioxide. The person who is
sleeping under tree may feel suffocation due to low concentration of oxygen and high
concentration of carbon dioxide.
4. How the structure of leaf is adapted to the process of photosynthesis?
Ans: Adaptation of Leaf Structure for Photosynthesis:
1) The blades of leaves are flat and absorb maximum light required for
photosynthesis.
2) Thin blades of leaves make the light and carbon dioxide reach the internal part
easily.
3) Thick layer of palisade Mesophyll containing large number of chloroplasts just
beneath the upper epidermis can make maximum absorption of light to make
food for the plant.
4) Maximum air spaces among spongy Mesophyll near the lower epidermis provide
an easy passage for carbon dioxide to diffuse into cells containing chloroplasts to
facilitate photosynthesis.

5) Numerous stomata in the lower epidermis absorb maximum carbon dioxide from
the air needed for photosynthesis.
6) Division of vascular bundles into small branches spread throughout the leaf
makes an easy and maximum water supply needed for photosynthesis.
5. Why is transpiration important for plants?
Ans: Transpiration pulls the water through air spaces in spongy Mesophyll and keeps the
Mesophyll moist, which is essential for the exchange of gases. Effects of evaporation
of water from leaves or stems are:
a) Cools the surface of leaves and the surrounding as well.
b) Allows the movement of minerals from the soil to different parts of the plants.
c) Helps in growth and development.
d) Controls the temperature of the plants.
6. Describe the roll of magnesium and nitrogen in plants nutrition?
Ans: Magnesium:
Magnesium is required by plants for the formation of chlorophyll. It is helpful
for the functioning of enzymes to produce carbohydrates and fats. Its deficiency
causes poor growth, yellowing and wilting of leaves.

Nitrogen:
Nitrogen in the form of its compounds, (nitrates) dissolved in soil water, is
required by plants from proteins. Chlorophyll is necessary for photosynthesis. Protein
is necessary for growth, repair and other developments and defensive functions.
Deficiency in nitrogen makes the leaves pale green or yellow. It affects the rate of
photosynthesis and growth in plants.
7. Explore the natural raise of water based on the principal of transpiration?
Ans: Transpiration is the water escape for the pore n the leaves or stems (stomata). It
develops section force in the xylem bundles, causing the water rise up. Tall trees
having more surface area for transpiration cause strong suction force are transpiration
pull on water in the xylem bundles. The increased transpiration pull in tall trees
causes the plants to absorb more water.

Enzymes are not involved. Enzymes are involved in all reactions.
2. Blood circulatory system plays a key role in cellular respiration. Explain how?
Ans: The blood transports the gases to and from the tissue cells. The exchange of gases
between the blood and tissue cells is internal respiration. Finally, the cells utilize the
oxygen for their specific activities. This is called respiration. So, blood circulatory
system is responsible for the cellular respiration in body.
3. Anaerobic respiration occurs when the body cannot get enough oxygen for
aerobic Respiration to take place. Explain with example of the situation when
and where anaerobic respiration takes place in human body?
Ans: Our muscles normally respire aerobically. When we run fast, enough oxygen is not
available for the muscle to respire aerobically. Then, our muscle respires aerobically.
Lactic acid is the product of this reaction.

CHAPTER
7 Solutions

CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE QUESTIONS

1. Describe preparation of a solution?


Ans: Solution is prepared by dissolving solute in solvent. Depending upon the amount of
solute dissolved, the solutions can be classified as unsaturated, saturated and super-
saturated solutions.
Unsaturated solution:
If 5 g salt is added to 500 cm of water in a beaker and stirred, it will
dissolve in the water. If some more salt is added to this solution, it will also be
dissolved. Such a solution to which further amount of the solute can also be dissolved
at a particular temperature is called unsaturated solution.
Saturated solution:
If some salt is added to 500 cm of water in a beaker and stirred, it will
dissolve in water. If more salt is added to the solution and stirred, there will be a
time when the salt will not dissolve anymore. Such a solution to which no more
solute can be dissolved at a particular temperature is called a saturated solution. If
more solute is added at the same temperature, the excess remains undisolved at the
bottom of the container.
2. Describe the factors aff ffecting the solubility?
Ans: Following are the factors that affect solubility:

PRE-CADET STUDIES WITH SIR MUNIR


PDF

Munir with deskPDF PDF Writer - Trial :: http://www.docudesk.com
Ahmed PAGE 9
PRE – CADET STUDIES WITH SIR MUNIR
1) Nature of the solute and solvent
2) Temperature of the solution
3) Pressure
Nature of solute and solvent:
The principle of dissolution is that like dissolves like. Water has ionic
character. The ionic compounds like sodium chloride, silver nitrate, silver chloride,
etc, are dissolved in water. The covalent compounds are dissolved in covalent
solvent.
Temperature of the solution:
Generally, an increase in temperature of the solution increases the solubility of
a solid solute. For example, greater amount of sugar is dissolved in hot water than in

cold water. Solubility of gases decreases with the increase in temperature of the
solution. For example, solubility of carbon dioxide in soda water decreases when
temperature increases.
Pressure:
Pressure affects the solubility of gaseous solutes in liquid solvents. Carbon
dioxide is dissolved in soda water. When the cap on the soda bottle is opened, the
pressure on the solution is released and carbon dioxide dissolved under pressure
begins to bubble out.
3. Explain the eff ffect of temperature on the solubility of table salt in water?
Ans: As solubility of solid solute increase with increase in temperature solubility of table
salt will increase also on increasing temperature. At higher temperature, there is
maximum possibility of interaction of water molecules with formula units of table
salt which dissociate into Na+ and Cl- in water. Thus, solubility of table salt
increases with increase in temperature.
4. Describe the importance of solutions in daily life?
Ans: Solutions are important in daily life because they dissolve other substance in them.
This property is called solubility.
There are many practical applications of solubility in daily life, especially in
industries. A few are mentioned below:
1) In carbonated drinks, carbon dioxide remains dissolved in water due to its solubility
in water.
2) Paints are dissolved in the solvents like alcohol and ether, etc. These solvents help
to dry the paint.

3) Water soluble dyes are used in textile industry on greater scale as dyes (coloured
substances) are used to create colourful patterns on clothes.
4) Solubility is very important in pharmaceutical industry. It is helpful to achieve the
desired concentration of the drugs in solutions.
5) Use of solubility parameters is very important in petroleum industry.
5. How can we increase the process of dissolution?
Ans: Stirring:
The maximum that is stirred dissolve faster than the mixture that is not stirred.
Small size of particles:
Fine particles dissolve faster than coarce particles.
Small temperature:
Rate of dissolution can be increased by increasing the temperature.

CHAPTER
10 Heat and Temperature

CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE QUESTIONS

1. How are expansion and contraction useful in thermometers??


Ans: Expansion and contraction are useful in thermometer as mercury and alcohol present
in thermometer expand when they get hotter and contract when they get cooler.
2. Explain why hot air balloons rise up?
Ans: Hot air in the balloons is lighter than air in surrounding that is why hot air balloon
rise up.
3. What does amongst the solid, liquid or gas expand fast and why?
Ans: Amongst the solid, liquid and gas, gas expands fast. The reason is that there are
almost no forces of attraction present between the molecules of gas.
4. Expansion and contraction can be helpful in many areas of life. Explain?
Ans: Riveting:
When a hot solid object is cooled, it contracts and strong forces are developed
during the process of contraction. These forces are used in riveting the metallic
objects together. Hot riveting is a common method to fasten two metal plates firmly.
A rivet consists of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head on one end (Figure 10.4).
The end opposite to its head is called buck-tail. For joining the two steel plates,
They are placed one above the other and holes are drilled in them. The rivets (small
steel rods) are made red hot and inserted in the holes of the plates (Figure 10.5). The
ends of the rivet are hammered into the hole. This becomes easy because heating of

rivets softens them. When the rivets cool, they force plates to come closer and firmly
grip them together. This makes the joints water–proof or steam–proof.
5. What do you mean by kinetic energy of particles?
Ans: Kinetic energy of particles mean that particles like atoms, molecules and irons, are in
constant state of motion. The energy responsible for the movement of these particles
is called kinetic energy of particles.
6. Substances do not expand or contract at the same rate. Why?
Ans: Substances due to their different physical states like solid, liquid and gas do not
expand or contract at the same rate.
7. Describe the uses of expansion and contraction of liquids?
Ans: Expansion gaps in concrete road:
Concrete in roads and paths expands when heated in the summer. This
makes the roads ruptured. To avoid such loss, small gaps are left after every few
meters in the concrete roads and paths.
Railway Tracks:
Railway tracks expand in hot days. If there is no gap, this is very
dangerous for trains. Train can derail and endanger passengers.
Expansion of bridges:
In building bridges, engineers must account for expansion in their
design. This is because gaps are left at one end, and that end is supported by rollers.
Rollers allow bridge to slide over them smoothly when expanded. Otherwise, large
stresses would arise and the concrete would crack.
Overhead powers and telephone wires:
Overhead cables and telephone wires raised on poles expand
during hot summer days. They contract in cold weather and become tight. They
may even snap. Allowance is made for the expansion or contraction so that the wires
do not sag too much during the day or snap at night. To prevent this, they are strung
loosely from pole to pole to allow for contraction.
Large bends in pipes:
Water pipes and pipelines can expand during hot weather and may burst.
The bends in pipes allow them to expand or contract without cracking.
Mercury or alcohol in thermometer:
Mercury and alcohol are used in thermometers. These liquids expand
and rise up in the tube when they get hotter. They contract and fall down in the tube
on becoming cold.
