6.  As a collective effect of all these phenomena, the seven coloured rainbow is observed.

6. Right hand thumb rule
Ans. Imagine that you are holding a current carrying straight conductor in your right hand such that the thumb points towards the direction current, then the curled fingers around the conductor will give the direction of the magnetic field. This is known as right hand thumb rule.




Q4. Attempt the following (any 1) ( 5 marks)
1.  Give Reason: Stars twinkle at night.
Ans.



i.            The stars emit their own light and they shine at night. The stars are point sources of light as they are very far away.
ii.          During refraction of starlight from the atmosphere, as starlight bends towards the normal, the apparent position of the star is slightly higher then its actual position.
iii.        Also this apparent position of the star is not stationary but changes slightly.
iv.         Because of mobility of air and changes in the temperature, the atmosphere is not steady. Hence refractive index of air in the given region goes on changing continuously and randomly.
v.           When the atmosphere refracts more light towards us, the star is seen bright. When the atmosphere refracts less light towards us, the star is seen dim. Thus due to change in the refractive index of atmosphere, stars appear twinkling at night. 

2. Find the expression for the resistors connected in series
. 
i.             Resistors connected in series: - If the number of resistance are connected one after another in such a way that the same current flows through each resistance, then the arrangement is called resistance in series.

i.            In human beings there are 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosome.
ii.          In human male gametes, two dissimilar sex chromosomes XY are present whereas in females two similar sex chromosomes XX are present.
iii.        All children inherit 'X' chromosomes from their mother and 'X' or 'Y' from their father.
iv.         If it is X chromosome from father, then the offspring will be a daughter and if 'Y' chromosomes, then it will be son.
v.           Hence, the gametes from the male parent decides the sex of the baby.  


5. Short notes on Multiple fission

i.            During unfavourable condition, the amoeba withdraws its pseudopodia, becomes almost round and secretes a hard covering called cyst.
ii.          Inside the cyst nucleus divides into many nuclei by repeated division, follow by division of cytoplasm.
iii.        As a result many daughter cells are formed.
iv.         The cyst bursts to release the daughter cells during favourable condition.

i.            Endocrine glands do not have ducts to store or transport their secretions called hormones.
ii.          The hormones are directly released into the blood stream and reach concerned body parts through blood.
iii.        Hence, hormones secreted by the endocrine glands are present everywhere in the body.


4 . Explain the process of translocation in plants.

Ans.
i.            Transport of nutrients from leaves to other parts of the plant is called translocation.
ii.          It takes place through phloem in upward as well as downward direction.
iii.        This process needs energy which is obtained from ATP.
iv.         When food materials like sucrose are transferred to phloem tissue, using ATP, the concentration of water molecules decreases in that area.
v.           This results in the movement of water into the cells due to osmosis.
vi.         The increased contents within the cells exert a high amount of pressure on their wall.
vii.       This pressure moves the food materials to the adjacent cells with low pressure.
viii.     This allows the phloem to move material according to the plant’s needs.



5. How are fats digested in the human body?

i.            Liver, the largest gland in the body secretes bile juice which is stored in the gall bladder.
ii.          Whenever food enters the small intestine, the gall bladder releases bile into it through a duct.
iii.        Bile makes the food alkaline and breaks the large fat globules into smaller ones, this increases the enzyme action.
iv.         Pancreas secretes digestive juice. It has digestive enzymes like lipase which help to break down fats.
v.           Various intestinal juices are also secreted by the walls of the small intestine to complete the digestion process of converting fats into fatty acids.  

6. Write short notes on Eutrophication

i.            The enrichment of water bodies by inorganic plant nutrients like nitrate, phosphate occurring either naturally or due to human activity is Eutrophication.
ii.          The process of eutrophication takes place due to introduction of nutrients and chemicals through discharge of domestic sewage, industrial effluents and fertilizers from agricultural fields.
iii.        These promote excessive growth of phytoplankton and algae. When algae die, decomposition of organic substance use oxygen.
iv.         This results in depletion of oxygen in water. The bloom of algae blocks penetration of oxygen, light and heat into the water body. As a result most of the organisms die below the surface of the water.
 8. Attempt the following (any 1) (5 marks.)

1. Explain the structure and function of a nephron.
Ans.




i.            The basic filtration unit in the kidney is a cluster of thin walled blood capillaries called as nephron.
ii.          Each nephron has a cup shaped thin walled upper end called Bowman’s capsule which contains a bundle of blood capillaries called glomerulus.
iii.       When blood containing urea enters the glomerulus it gets filtered through glomerular capillaries.
iv.        The selectively permeable wall of the Bowman’s capsule allows the water molecules and small molecules of the other substances to pass through them and forms glomerular filtrate.
v.           The blood, free from these materials is taken to the heart through the renal vein.
vi.        The glomerular filtrate collected in the Bowman’s capsule further passes through the nephron tubule where reabsorption of water and useful molecules take place.
vii.      The remaining fluid containing the waste forms the urine which eventually enters a long tube called the ureter.
viii.    It is further stored in the urinary bladder and from there it is thrown out through the urethra.

2 The plants are kept in dark before determining the factors essential for photosynthesis.

              i.        When plants perform photosynthesis, they produce carbohydrates. These carbohydrates are used for their growth and energy.
            ii.        The unutilized carbohydrates are stored in the form of starch.
          iii.        While performing experiments on photosynthesis, it is necessary that this stored starch is completely used up.
           iv.        When the plant is kept in dark, it utilizes this stored starch and becomes destarched.
             v.        The factors essential for photosynthesis such as carbon dioxide, sunlight and chlorophyll can be studied with such destarched plant. Thus, the plants are kept in dark before determining the factors essential for photosynthesis.
