2. Carefully study the diagram of the human respiratory system with labels ⅰ, ⅱ, ⅲ and ⅳ.

Select the option which gives correct identification and main function and /or characteristics:
(a) (ⅰ) Trachea: It is supported by bony rings conducting inspired air
(b) (ⅱ) Ribs: When we breathe out, ribs are lifted
(c) (ⅲ) Alveoli: Thin-walled sac like structure exchange of gases
(d) (ⅳ) Diaphragm: It is pulled up when we breathe in.
3. A single displacement reaction is represented below.

D Anion Less stable
Options:
a) A b) B c) C d) D
4. Consider the following properties of virtual images:
(ⅰ) Cannot be obtained on the screen (ⅱ) are formed by both concave and convex lens
(ⅲ) are always erect (ⅳ) are always inverted
The correct properties are:
a) (ⅰ) and (ⅳ) b) (ⅰ) and (ⅱ)
c) (ⅰ), (ⅱ) and (ⅲ) d) (ⅰ), (ⅱ) and (ⅳ)
 Direction: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of
reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.
(A) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of the
assertion (A)
(B) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is NOT the correct explanation of the
assertion (A)
(C) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
(D) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.
5. Assertion (A): An object is placed at a distance of f from a concave mirror of focal length f, its
image will form at infinity.
Reason (R): The distance of image in concave mirror can never be infinity.
6. Assertion (A): Decomposition of vegetable matter into compost is an endothermic reaction.
Reason (R): Decomposition reaction involves breakdown of a single reactant into simpler products.
7. Assertion (A): Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth and is taken up by plants in the
form of inorganic nitrates or nitrites.
Reason (R): The soil is the nearest and richest source of raw materials like nitrogen, phosphorus and
other minerals for the plants.

(Very short questions answers)
8. Trupti mixes an aqueous solution of sodium sulphate (Na2SO4) and an aqueous solution of copper
chloride (CuCl2). Will this lead to a double displacement reaction? Justify your answers.
9. Draw excretory system in human being and label the following organs of excretory system which
perform following functions:
(ⅰ) Form urine
(ⅱ) is a long tube which collects urine from kidney
(ⅲ) store urine until it is passed out
10. If the image formed by a spherical mirror for all position of the object placed in front of it is
always erect and diminished, what type of mirror is it?
Draw a labelled ray diagram to support your answer.
11. Decomposition reactions require energy either in the form of heat or light or electricity for
breaking down the reactants. Write one equation each for decomposition reactions where energy is
supplied in the form of heat, light or electricity.

(Short questions answers)
12. (a) A security mirror used in a big showroom has radius of curvature 5 m. If a customer is standing
at a distance of 20 m from the cash counter, find the position, nature and size of the image formed
in the security mirror.
(b) Neha visited a dentist in his clinic. She observed that the dentist was holding an instrument fitted
with mirror. State the nature of this mirror and reason for its use in the instrument used by dentist.
13. Explain the process of double circulation in human with the help of diagram.

(Case based/ data based questions)
14. The given diagram is of human digestive system. The human’s digestive system is made up of the
gastrointestinal (GI) tract and liver, pancreas and gall bladder. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs that are
connected to each other from your mouth to your anus. The organs that make up your GI tract, in order that
they are connected, include your mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and anus. Study
the diagram and questions given below:

Q.1 Identify the labels B, C, D and E.

Q.2 What are the final product after digestion of carbohydrates and proteins?
Q.3 Name the secretion that is released by label C. How it helps in fat digestion.
Q.4 Name the major process in region F, which is no longer occurring normally in case of diarrhoea.
