5. You soak seeds of bean and observe them after 2-3 days. What will be your observations?


o
With the help of diagram show the different stages of binary fission in Amoeba.

6. (a) What is meant by electric resistance of conductor?

(b) A wire of length L and resistance R is stretched so that the length is doubled and area of
cross section halved. How will (i) resistance change and (ii) resistivity change.


o
Two identical resistors, each of resistance 50 Ω are connected (i) in series (ii) in parallel, in turn,
to a battery of 10 V. Calculate the ratio of power consumed in the combination of resistors in
the two cases.

7. What are the producers ? Give suitable examples.

o
What happens to the dead bodies ?

Section B

8. (a) Name two elements that have two electrons in their outermost shells.
(b) How would the following properties of the element vary down the group in the Modern
Periodic Table ? Give reasons.
(i) Tendency to lose electron.
(ii) Valency.

9. An element X belongs to group 17 and third period of the Periodic Table :

(a) Write electronic configuration of the element. What is its valency ?
(b) Predict its nature, whether it is a metal or a non-metal.
(c) Give the formula of the compound formed when it combines with an element having
valency three.


o
“Carbon forms strong bonds with most other elements making the compounds exceptionally
stable.” Give reason to justify this statement.

10. Name the type of sex-chromosome present in :

(a) Human male and human female.
(b) What will be the sex of offspring if sperm carrying X chromosome fertilizes the egg?
(c) Name an animal in which individuals can change sex. What does it indicate ?

11. A hot plate of an electric oven, connected to a 200 V line. It has two resistance coils A and
B each of the 30 Ω which may be used separately, in series or in parallel. Find the value of the
current required in each of the three cases.

12. Three 2 Ω resistors A , B and C are connected as shown in figure. Each of them dissipates energy
and can withstand a maximum power of 18 W without melting. Find the maximum current
that can flow through the three resistors.

o
State Fleming’s left hand rule. A positively charged particle projected towards west is deflected
towards north by a magnetic field. Find the direction of magnetic field.

13. Explain some harmful effects of agricultural practices on the environment.

Section C
This section has 02 case-based questions (14 and 15). Each case is followed by 03 sub-questions
(a, b and c). Parts a and b are compulsory. However, an internal choice has been provided in
part c.

14. Answer given questions on the basis of your understanding of the following paragraph and the
related studies concepts.
To make a bread dough, a baker mixes flour, sugar and baking powder (mixture of baking soda
and tartaric acid). After mixing all the ingredients, the dough is placed in a container for a
few hours (in an oven). On heating, the mixture releases carbon dioxide gas leaving bubbles
behind. This increases the size of the bread and makes it soft and spongy. Tartaric acid helps
in removing bitter taste.

(i) ‘Yeast can be used in place of baking powder for making bread dough’. What is yeast?
(ii) What would you use to measure pH of baking powder?
(iii) Why does the bread dough rise?

o
Based on the graph represented alongside, answer the following questions:
A bakery shop started using baking soda instead of baking powder for baking cakes. What
could be the reason for the decrease in the sale of cakes?

15. Read the following case based passage and answer the questions given after passage.
R = ρ # l
A
Some materials have low resistance, whereas some other have much higher resistance. In general,
an alloy has higher resistance than pure metals which from the alloy.
Copper, silver, aluminium, etc., have very low resistance.
Nichrome, constantan, etc., have higher resistance. Nichrome is used for making heating
elements of heaters, toasters, electric iron, etc.
Read the following information:
• Resistivity of copper is lower than that of aluminium which in turn is lower than that of
constantan
• Six wires labelled as A, B, C, D, E, F have designed as per the following parameters:
Wire Length Diameter Material Resistance
A l 2d Aluminum R1
B 2l d/2 Constantan R2
C 3l d/2 Constantan R3
D l/2 3d Copper R4
E 2l 2d Aluminum R5
F l/2 4d Copper R6
Answer the following questions using the above data:
(i) Arrange R1, R3 and R5 in ascending order of their values. Justify your answer.
(ii) Nichrome is used for making heating elements of heaters, toasters, electric iron, etc. Why
?
(iii) Which of the wires has maximum resistance and why?


o
Which of the wires has minimum resistance and why?
