c) Shantha is suffering from low blood pressure. She may have the symptoms like weakness, fainting and dizziness.

9. What will happen to the potted plant kept near a window in your classroom ?
A. 1) The light from the window falls on the plant.
2) So the plant bend towards the light due to phototropism. .
3) More auxins are accumulated on light illuminated side of the stem. So, the cells on that side grow faster.
4) On opposite side cells grow slow to make the stem bend.

10. Its very interesting to watch a creeper entwining its tendril to the support, isn’t it ?
How do you express your feelings in this situation ?
A. 1) It is very interesting thing in plants to observe the movements of tendrils.
2) Tendrils play a vital role to make the plant erect.
3) It is very amazing to see these thin tendrils grow towards a support and wind around them.
4) I am admired to know this type of response to make contact or touch is called thigmotropism.
Group – B

11. What are variations ? How do they help organisms ?
A. 1) Differences in characters within very closely related groups of organisms are called variations.
2) They develop during reproduction in organisms and are passed from parent to off­spring through heredity.
3) Beneficial variations are selected by nature in evolution.
4) Variations help to increase the survival chances of the organisms and to adopt to their surroundings.

12. Why should we conserve forests and wildlife ?
A. Wild life and forests should be conserve for the following reasons.
1. Wild life and forests are the measures of Biodiversity of a particular region. By conserving the wild life and forests, we are ensuring that all diverse species in an area survive, breed and flurish.

16. Write the differences between photosynthesis and respiration.

17. What is a transport system ? How does it help to an organism ?
A. The system of transport of materials in the living things is called transport system. Uses of Transport System to an organism are as follows.
1). All nutrients required for tissues are transported.
2). In unicellular organisms, transportation is by means of diffusion, osmosis like simple ways.
3).In higher animals, transport of substances takes place years together. To avoid delay in the process a specialised, speedup transport system is evolved.
4). Oxygen is supplied to the tissues and C0₂ is removed by transport system.
5). The nitrogenous waste products formed during metabolism are also removed.
6). Harmones are carried to the target organs by this system.
7). Play a vital role in body defence system.
8). Undigested waste materials from the digestive system are also removed by this system.

18. Suggest any four programmes for prevention of soil pollution in view of avoiding pesticides.
A. I would suggest the following programmes for prevention of soil pollution in view of avoiding pesticides.
1) Biological pest control: We use predators to control pests.
2) Introducing parasites : Introducing parasites to kill disease causing insects.
3) Biochemicals usage : Usage of biological pest repellents such as neem oil, tobacco powder, garlic, panchagavya, NPV solutions are other examples for biochemicals.
4) Pheramone Traps : To attract male insects, installing pheramone traps in crop fields.
5) Crop rotation : Growing different crops with different root system will reduce the pests on crops.

Group-B
19. What procedure did you follow to understand anaerobic respiration in your school laboratory ?
A. Aim : To prove that C0₂ is released during anaerobic respiration.
Apparatus: Thermos flask, splitted corks, thermometer, wash bottle,. glass tubes, liquid paraffin, glucose solution, yeast cells, bicarbonate solution, Janus Green B solution.

Procedure:
1. Heat the glucose solution in a beaker, pour it in a thermos flask.
2) To remove dissolved oxygen from glucose solution by boiling it in thermos flask for a minute and then cooling it without shaking.
3) Now add some yeast to the glucose solution and fix two-holed rubber stopper to the flask.
4) The supply of oxygen from the air can be cut off by pouring a 1cm layer of liquid paraffin on the mixture (Thermos is heat resistant can’t be used for boiling).
5) Insert one end of the thermometer into the thermos flask. See the end of thermometer kept inside the solution.
6) Arrange for any gas produced by the yeast to escape through a wash bottle containing bicarbonate solution or lime water as showh in the figure.
7) Add a few drops of diazine green (Janus Green B) solution to the yeast suspension before you pour liquid paraffin over it.
8) The blue diazine green solution turns pink when oxygen is in short supply around it.
9)Warm the apparatus to about 37° F in order to speed up the test. (If you do experi­ment in test tube).
10) Keep the apparatus undisturbed for one or two days.
Observations:
1. After two days it can be observed that lime water of the wash bottle turns into milky white precipitate.
2. Increase in temperature noted on yeast cells respire and release energy.
3. Alcohol smell given off from the flask. *
Result: These observations indicate that yeast cells respire anaerobically converting glucose solution into C0₂, ethyl alcohol and releasing heat energy.

20. a) If we press tongue against the palate, we can recognise taste easily. ‘
A. Reason;
a) 1). When the tongue is pressed against the palate, the food substance is pressed against the opening of the taste bud letting it to reach the taste cells and triggering taste signals.
2) Finally, the taste is recognized in the brain.
b) We can’t identify taste when food is very hot.
A. Reason :
1). Most of the taste buds on the tongue are killed when the food is hot.
2). This prevents the person identifying the taste.
3).The perception of taste decreases when the temperature of the food rises beyond 35°C.
4). But we don’t pay attention to it because we become worried about the burning feeling.
c) If glucose level falls in blood, we feel hungry.
A. Reason :
1. When glucose levels in the blood fall, we get hunger pangs in stomach.
2) Hungry feeling start to occur in the stomach due to hunger generating signals that reach the brain from the stomach due to the secretion of the hormone ‘Ghrelin’.
d) Small intestine is similar to a coiled pipe.
A. Reason:
1) Small intestine is coiled so as to fit in the human body.
2) It is coiled to increase surface area and maximum nutrient absorption when food passes through it.

21. Write about the “carbon dating method”, which you discussed with your physical science teacher.
A. 1) Carbon dating is the method used to calculate the age of rocks, minerals or fossils.
2) The breakdown of radioactive isotopes of certain elements such as carbon, uranium and potassium takes place at a known rate. So the age of rock or mineral containing isotopes can be calculated.
3) Archaeologists use the exponential, radioactive decay of carbon 14 to estimate the death dates of organic material.
4) The earth’s atmosphere contains various isotopes of carbon, roughly in constant proportions.
5) These include the main stable isotope ¹²C and an unstable isotope ¹⁴C
6)Through photosynthesis, plants absorb both forms from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
7) When an organism dies, it contains the standard ratio of ¹⁴C to¹²C
8) But as the ¹⁴C decays with no possibility of replenishment, the proportion of carbon 14 decreases at a known constant rate.
9) The time taken for it to reduce by half is known as the half-life of ¹⁴C, which is 5730.
10)The measurement of the remaining proportion of ¹⁴C in organic matter thus gives an estimation of its age.
11)Formula to calculate how old a sample is by carbon – 14 dating is

12) As the half life of carbon – 14 is 5,700 years, it is useful for dating objects up to about 60,000 years old.

22. Suggest some approaches towards the conservation of forests.
A. Six basic steps to save forests :
1) Trees: It’s a concept originally devised from elementary school audience but serves well as set of principles for saving rain forests and on a broader scale, ecosystems around the world.
2) Teach, others about the importance of the environment and how they can help to save forests.
3) Restore : Restore damaged ecosystems by planting trees, where forests have been cut down.
4) Encourage : People to live in away that doesn’t hurt the environment.
5) Establish parks : To protect forests and wild life parks should be established.
6) Support: Companies that operate in ways that minimize damage to the environment.

16. What are the challenges faced by the independent Nigerian nation ? In what ways is it similar or different from the challenges faced by Independent India ?
A. a) Challenges faced by the independent Nigeria :
Nigeria became independent on 1st October,1963. Unfortunately a just and democratic balance could not be worked out and soon Nigeria slipped into civil war and military rule which largely reinforced the domination of the north. Attempts were made repeatedly to bring in civilian and democratic governments but these failed again and again. Corruption and suppression of human rights went hand in hand with collaboration between the military regime and multinational Oil corporations which funded the corrupt rulers. After a long haul of military dictatorship, Nigerians elected a democratic government in 1999. It remains to be seen how it faces the challenges of building a democratic Nigeria,
b) In many ways it is different from the challenges faced by independent India except corruption.

17. How was the French education system in Vietnam ?
A. The French colonisers like the British were convinced that the people of the colony were uncivilised and the objective of their rule was to bring the benefits of modern civilisation. Education was seen as one way to civilise the ‘natives’. The French needed an educated local labour force but they feared that education might create problems. Once educated, the Vietnamese may begin to question colonial domination. Moreover, French citizens living in Vietnam (called colons) began fearing that they might lose their jobs – as teachers, shopkeepers, policemen – to the educated Vietnamese. So they opposed policies that would give the Vietnamese full access to French education. Even though Vietnamese language was taught in the primary level, all higher education was in French. Only the Vietnamese elite – comprising a small fraction of the population – could enroll in the schools,and only a few among those admitted ultimately passed the school-leaving examination. School textbooks glorified the French and justified colonial rule.

18. Integration of various princely states into the new Indian nation was a
challenging task. Discuss.
A. The very first challenge which came immediately after independence was the integration of ‘Princely states’ into the Indian Union. The integration process was as usual not smooth and had various difficulties such as : ‘
1. At the time of independence it was announced by the British that with the end of their rule over India, paramountcy of the British crown over princely states would also lapse.
2. As a result, British government took the view that all these states were free to join either India or Pakistan or remain independent if they so wished. This was a very serious problem and could threaten the very existence of a United India.
3. Another problem arose very soon. First of all, the ruler of Travancore annouced that the state had decided on independence. The Nizam of Hyderabad and the Nawab of Bhopal also made the similar announcements.
4. This response of the rulers of the princely states meant that after independence there was a very real possibility that India would be further divided into a number of small countries. This was a strange situation since Indian independence was aimed at unity, self determination as well as democracy.

GROUP -B
19. How does the Constitution reflect the political events of the time ?
A. The Constitution reflects the political events of the time.
e.g. : Self-Government and Equality : A reference to the history of British rule and Indian Independence struggle provides basic idea of self-governance that emerged into a people’s participative democracy.
Federalism : Genesis of idea of federalism in India was first traced in ‘Simon Commission’ 1927. The representatives of princely states declared the First Round table Conference (1930-32) that they would join an ‘All India federation with a self- governing British India’. This preferred creation of All India Federation. Fundamental Rights : The inclusion in Constitution of a distinct part guaranteeing Fundamental Rights can be traced to the forces that operated in the struggle for independence during British rule.
Sovereignty : The British colonial rule made the Constitution framers to add the ‘Sovereignty in our Constitution’.
Socialism : Despite all social, economic and political inequality present and inherent in Indian traditional society, there were many political struggles. So our Constitution started a crusade against that.

20. While some people feel that coalition politics has weakened the government, others feel that it has prevented any party from steamrolling its agenda on the country. Discuss this with examples.
A. 1) A coalition government leads to more concensus-based politics, in that a government comprising differing parties would need to concur in regard to governmental policy.
2) These kind of governments have a tendency to be fractions and prone to disharmony.
3) Another difficulty might be the ability of minor parties to play “King maker” and, particularly in close election, gain far more their support than their vote would otherwise indicate.
e.g. : The Congress politics in the formation of Telangana. .
4) The political ideologies and programmes of a number of parties had to be accommodated and a common agreement had to be arrived at. Thus the party could pursue its extreme agendas and had to tone down their approaches.
5) Sometimes policy paralysis also causes.

21. Explain how environmental issues can affect people of nations who may have no role in deciding the location of nueclear plants, polluting factories, etc. How do you deal with such situations ?
A. 1) Usually people of the nation are suffering lot, whenever there is a nuclear tragedy.
2) They really do not have any role in deciding the nuclear plant’s location or pollution factory.
3) That will be decided by their representatives and their secretaries.
4) They decide the locations taking into consideration, a lot of things like infrastructure, raw material, technology, etc.
5) To deal with these situations the governments should take all the protective measures.
6) In case of any adversity, they should respond well in time to support the people.
7) They should see that proper care is taken about the affected and fair compen­sations were distributed among the suffered people.

22. Is there any mechanism for alternate dispute resolution outside the courts?
A. 1) There is one mechanism for alternate dispute reslolution outside the courts.
2) Conflicts in villages/ communities are addressed by village/ community elders.
3) They resolute conflicts in a peaceful and amicable way by discussing various issues/ concerns.
4) The nature of conflicts/disputes and their origin are mostly known to village elders.
5) This facilitates to findout an amicable solution in a transperent way.
