solution
a. Laser
Laser is a device which generates the coherent light or "well organised" light .Ordinary white
light is made up of many different colours. Each colour has different wavelength and the
photons of each colour are out of step with each other. In a beam of laser light, all the
photon have the same wavelength and move in step , travelling along like a well drilled
army. The mechanism relies on a process known as stimulated emission and the word laser
is derived from light amplification by stimulated emission.
b. Nuclear Reactor
A device in which the fission reaction involving neutrons and nuclear fuel is controlled for
the production of heat is called "nuclear reactor". It is also known as " The nuclear power
plant". This heat is converted by means of turbines and generator to electrical energy for
commercial use. A nuclear power plant works in a similar way to an oil-fired or a coal-fired
power station. The difference between the two types of power plants is in the fuel they use
to heat the boiler. Inside a nuclear power plant, energy is released by nuclear fission in the
core of a piece of equipment called the reactor. The energy heats water in the boiler ( the
water boils and produce steam). This steam turns the huge turbine wheels, and the turbines
drive the generator that produces the electricity.
There are three types of reactor which are given bellow.
1. Light water reactor (LWR)
2. Boiling water reactor (BWR)
3. Pressurised water reactor (PWR)
4. Heavy water reactor (HWR)
5. High-temperature Gas-Cooled reactor (HTGR)
Question no 2
a. Asteroids
Asteroids, also called minor planets or planetoids, are a class of astronomical objects.The
asteroid is an small celestial bodies that drift in the solar system in orbit around the sun.
between the orbits of mars and jupiter
b. Black Hole
black hole is an object with a gravitational field so powerful that even electromagnetic
radiation(such as light) cannot escape its pull.
c. Aurora
The aurora is a bright glow observed in the night sky, usually in the polar zone. For this
reason some scientists call it a "polar aurora" .
d. Sedimentary Rock
A Sedimentary rock is one of the three main rock groups (along with igneous and
metamorphic rocks) . Sedimentary rocks cover 75% of the Earth's land area.Sedimentary
rocks include common types such as chalk, limestone, sandstone and shale.
e. Epiphytes
An epiphyte is an organism that grows upon or attached to a living plant. Epiphytic plants
are sometimes called "air plants" because they do not root in soil.
f. Ionosphere
The ionosphere is the part of the atmosphere that is ionized by solar radiation. It plays an
important part in atmospheric electricity and forms the inner edge of the magnetosphere.
Question no 4 (i)
1. Adrenal glands
2. thyroid glands
Question no 4 (ii)
a. Pancreas , stomach
b. thyroid gland
c. kidney
e. adrenal gland
f. Testes of male and overies of female
Question no 5a
There are nearly half a million species of plants on the earth. With the exception of few , all
of them need three basic ingredients to survive : air , light and water . Plants are found in
almost every type of habitat. They take their own food using simple raw materials and
energy from the sun. Plants requires water to grow. They cannot get this water unless it is
available in the soil. Plants obtain water from the soil through their roots. It then passes up
the stem to the leaves and flowers. The plant does not take all the water available in the
soil. Much of the remaining water evaporates into the surrounding air. The plants can be
divided in to the following categories.
Non-Green Plants :
This is a group of plants having simple plant body without root, stem and leaves. They do
not contain chlorophyll and hence do not involve photosynthesis. They can grow without the
aid of sunlight and seem to popout of the ground overnight. Typical examples of nongreen
plants are bacteria , fungi and viruses.
Green Plants :
These are those plants which contain chlorophyll and carry out photosynthesis. There are
two categories of green plants : non-flowering and flowering plants.
a. Non-Flowering Plants (Cryptogams).
These are seedless green plants. They reproduce by means of spores. these plants have
existed on earth for much longer than flowering plants. Many of them have remained almost
unchanged for million of years. They generally have a simple structure and , with the
exception of ferns , do not have supporting fiber.
b. Flowering Plants ( Phanerogams ).
These are seed containing green plants . There are two groups of seed plants : the
gymnosperms and the angiosperms. This division is based on the type of seeds they have.
The gymnosperms are the pine, fir , cedar , cypress and spruce three while the angiosperms
include most other trees , the flowering plants, the grasses , crop plants , vegetable and
weeds.
Question no 5 b
1. A vaccine is an antigenic preparation used to establish immunity to a disease
2. An antibiotic is a drug that kills or prevents the growth of bacteria
3. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between earth and the sun
4. A reaction that releases energy in the form of heat is called exothermic
Question no 6
b. Mars is a barren desert. It is covered with red dust, that is why we call mars, the Red
Planet.
c. Vitamin D increase the utilization of calcium and phosphorous of the body.
d.
e. Throat weakness causing the throat to close during sleep
NOte : Correct me in case of any mistake.

i have a confusion in my mind regarding types of plants. You have mentioned non green
plants including funji and bacteria but according to my information they are not
plants....funji belongs to seperate kingdom funji because of a number of differences and
even bacteria which belong to separate kingdom monera (prokaryotes). these are the two
kingdoms of the total five kingdoms where others are plantae,animalia and protoctista.and
living things are classified accordingly.
??????????

According to my knowledge, non-green plants have no roots and leaves. Though Fungi and
bacteria are concerned under distinguish kingdoms but they has existence in kingdom
plantae as well. The question arise how. here is the answer
The Fungi is a kingdom of eukaryotic organisms. Fungi are not plants, but were historically
treated as closely related to plants, and were considered to be in the purview of botanists. It
has long been recognized that fungi are evolutionarily closer to animals than to plants, but
they still are covered more in depth in introductory botany courses and are not necessarily
touched upon in introductory zoology courses. This is how Bacteria is a branch of
microbiology. bacteria is included in algae. Algae have conventionally been regarded as
simple plants, they actually span more than one domain, including both Eukaryota and
bacteria , as well as more than one kingdom, including plants and protists.
Actually i have a book named as EDS by prof. Dr. M Akram kashmiri. He append above nongreen plants in plants kingdom. U are right at your approach. I m waiting for senior scientist
to clear the confusion.

i am 100% agreed with what u have said and right now Dr.M kashmiri is in my hand and i
have already read what he has written.....but the question is still there.what exactly we have
to write in the paper?he has mentioned a very old classification of two kingdoms in his
book(plants and animals).even funji and algae are taught under botany.
i have an idea.what if we mention the types in the paper both according to new and old
classification briefly??????

@peerless
i am not confused about the classification...i m very sure about it....what i want to know
is......what xactly we have to write in the paper....should follow the old and common
classification or the recent and modern one.....

Q 5 (b)
a: By climbing on other trees, they get close to the light source.
c: Vitamin D is responsible for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the bones.
d: At equator, the distance from the earth's center is greater than any other point of the
earth's surface. Since, weight is defined as the force with which a body is attracted towards
the earth's center, so greater the distance, less is the force applied. Hence, the object's
weight is lightest at the earth's equator, than at poles.

The plants classification system commonly used in botany was developed by Robert
Whittaker in 1969, so you cant say that it is a new classification system.It is now upto you
either you use the so called new system or centuries old classification.Personaly I feel we
should use latest information, if you are confused you may give a reference of old system in
short and then carry on with the new one.
