 SAMPLE PAPER FOR SCIENCE CLASS-IX

1. Cytoplasm
The cytoplasm is a thick liquid residing between the cell membrane holding all the cell's internal
sub-structures (called organelles), except for the nucleus. All the contents of the cells of
prokaryote organisms (which lack a cell nucleus) are contained within the cytoplasm.
2. Lysosomes
Lysosomes are cellular organelles that contain acid hydrolase enzymes to break down waste
materials and cellular debris. They are found in animal cells, while in yeast and plants the same
roles are performed by lytic vacuoles. Lysosomes digest excess or worn-out organelles, food
particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria.
3. Nuclear Enevelop
The nuclear envelope (NE) (also known as the perinuclear envelope, nuclear membrane,
nucleolemma or karyotheca) is a double lipid bilayer that encloses the genetic material in
eukaryotic cells.
4. Centriole
A centriole is a barrel-shaped cell structure found in most animal eukaryotic cells, though it is
absent in higher plants and most fungi.The walls of each centriole are usually composed of nine
triplets of microtubules (protein of the cytoskeleton)
5. Vacuoles
A vacuole is a membrane-bound organelle which is present in all plant and fungal cells and
some protist, animal and bacterial cells.
6. Motion
Motion is a change in position of an object with respect to time. Change in action is the result
of an unbalanced force.
7. Velocity
Velocity is the measurement of the rate and direction of change in the position of an object. It
is a vector physical quantity; both magnitude and direction are required to define it. The scalar
absolute value (magnitude) of velocity is speed, a quantity that is measured in metres per second
(m/s or ms−1) when using the SI (metric) system.
8. Uniform Circular Motion
Uniform circular motion describes the motion of a body traversing a circular path at constant
speed. The distance of the body from the axis of rotation remains constant at all times.
9. Scalar Quantity
A scalar is a simple physical quantity that is not changed by coordinate system rotations or
translations (in Newtonian mechanics), or by Lorentz transformations or space-time
translations (in relativity)
10. Displacement Field
A displacement field is an assignment of displacement vectors for all points in a region or body
that is displaced from one state to another. A displacement vector specifies the position of a
point or a particle in reference to an origin or to a previous position
11. Given Speed = 72 km/hr
72 km
= , 1km= 1000m , 1hr=60 X 60=3600
1 hr
72 ´ 1000m
So, speed= , i.e. speed=20m/s
1 ´ 3600 s
12. The distance time graph for a body having uniform motion is always represented as in a straight
line

13. Acceleration= Change in velocity/ Time interval, When the velocity of a body does not change
i.e. final velocity is equal to the initial velocity.
a = v–u/t = u–u/t = 0/t = 0
14. Endoplasmic Reticulum responsible for the synthesis of proteins, fats and lipids
15. Nerve Cell

Blood Cell

16.
Plasma Membrane Cell Wall
1. It is made up of lipids and protein. 1. It is made up of cellulose.
2. It regulates entry and exit of 2. Cell wall provides structural strength to the
molecules in and out of the cell. plants.

17. Gases like CO2 and O2 move in the and out of the cell by diffusion from their higher
concentration to lower concentration. Water enters the cell by endosmosis through semi -
permeable plasma membrane from its higher concentration to lower concentration. Similarly,
water moves out of the cell by exosmosis when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution.
18. (a) Endocytosis- The flexibility of the cell membrane enables the cell to engulf in food and
other material from its external environment. Such processes are known as endocytosis.
(b) Plasmolysis - When a living plant cell loses water through osmosis, there is shrinkage or
contraction of the contents of the cell away from the cell wall. This phenomenon is known as
plasmolysis
19. (i) Speed = Distance travelled/ Time taken
= 200km/5hr
= 40 km/hr
(ii) Velocity = Displacement / time taken
= 200km towards North/ 5 hr
= 40km /hr towards North

20. Satellites revolve around their planets in almost in a circular orbits with constant speed. Thus,
during their motion, the speed remains constant, when the direction of motion changes
continuously, resultant there is a change in their velocity. Therefore, the motion of Satellites
around their planets considered an accelerated motion.
21. Given a = -6 ms-2 t = 2 s, v = 0 ms-1
From eq. v= u+at
0= u+ (-6)*2=12 ms-1
From eq. s= ut+1/2 at2
= 12*2+1/2(-6) (2) 2
= 24-12=12m
Thus the car will move 12m before it stops after applying brakes
22. Osmosis will take place and the movement of water molecules will depend on the concentration
of the surrounding solution.
(i) If the medium surrounding the cell has a higher water concentration than the cell, it means
that the outside solution is very dilute, then the cell will gain water by osmosis. Such a solution
is known as a hypotonic solution. The cell is likely to swell up. This is called endosmosis.
(ii) If the medium has exactly the same water concentration as the cell, there will be no net
movement of water across the cell membrane. Such a solution is known as an isotonic solution.
The cell will stay the same size.
23. (a) The position of the particle is
x = 2m when it is at P1
x = –2m when it is at P2
(b) The two positions are not same as they are in different directions
(c) The distances of the particle from the origin in the two positions are same and equal to
2 meters.
24. Amoeba engulfs its food by forming pseudopodia around the food particle.
These pseudopodia are projections of cell membrane. Once surrounded by pseudopodia the
food becomes part of cell and it forms a food vacuole. This method of engulfing food is termed
as endocytosis (phagocytosis).

If the car takes time t1 to cover the first 30km= (60km/h) x t1

30km 1
t1 = = hr =30min
60km \ hr 2
Similarly the car takes time t2 to cover the next 30 Km,
30 km= (40km/h) x t2
30km 3
t2 = = hr =45 min
40km \ hr 4
Total time taken is = t1 + t2
= 30 + 45 = 57 minutes
