CASE -BASED QUESTION

A. White light is a mixture of seven colours (VIBGYOR). When these colours combine, they appear white.
The colour of an object depend on the light it reflects. An object appears blue, green etc on the basis of
light reflected by it. The leaves of plant appear green because it reflects green light and absorbs other
colours.
1. Expand the word VIBGYOR.
2. Why red rose appear red?
3. Name the device which proves that white light consists of 7 colours.
B. Blood is the fluid which flows in blood vessels. It transports substances like digested food from the
small intestine to the other parts of the body. It carries oxygen from the lungs to the cells of the body. It
also transports wastes for removal from the body. Blood is composed of a fluid, called plasma in which
different types of cells are suspended. Red blood cells (RBC) which contain a red pigment called
Haemoglobin.

Que. 1) Which fluid flows in blood vessels?

(a) Plasma

(b) RBC

(c) Blood

(d) All of the above

Que. 2) Haemoglobin bind with-------and transport it to all the parts of body and to all the………….

(a) Tissues, cells

(b) Organs, cells

(c) Muscles, cells

(d) Oxygen,cells

Que. 3) What makes blood appear red in colour?

(a) Antigen

(b) Iron

(c) Haemoglobin

(d) None of the above

Que. 4) What role does blood play in the body?

Que. 5) How is oxygen transported in the body?

C. The production of new individuals from their parents is known as reproduction. Most plants have roots,
stems and leaves. These are called the vegetative parts of a plant. After a certain period of growth, most
plants bear flowers. You may have seen the mango trees flowering in spring. It is these flowers that give
rise to juicy mango fruit we enjoy in summer. We eat the fruits and usually discard the seeds. Seeds
germinate and form new plants. Flowers perform the function of reproduction in plants. Flowers are the
reproductive parts.

Que. 1) Pistil is the--------. reproductive part and stamen is the……. reproductive part of flower.

(a) Female, male

(b) Male, female

(c) Male, male

(d) Male, ovule

Que. 2) Papaya produces which type of flowers?

(a) Hermaphrodite

(b) Unisexual

(c) Bisexual

(d) No flower

Que. 3) How a zygote is formed in sexual reproduction?

Que. 4) What are the parts of the pistil?

NUMERICALS

POINTS TO REMEMBER

Speed= Distance Travelled/Time taken

Distance= Speed x Time
Time= Distance/Speed
Time Period of simple pendulum= Time taken /number of oscillations
To convert km/h to metre per second multiply by
5/18(1000m/3600s=5/18)
For example 80 km/h = 80x5/18=22.22 m/s

1.How much distance is travelled by an object if it travels at a speed of 60 km/h for 2 hours?
Distance= Speed x Time
=60 km/h x 2 h
=120 km
Answer:120 km
2.The distance between two stations is 240km.A train takes 4 hours to cover this distance.
Calculate the speed of the train.
Speed= Distance/Time
= 240/4
=60km/h
Answer: 60 km/h
3.A simple pendulum takes 16 s to complete 10 oscillations. What is the time period of the
pendulum?
Time Period= Time taken/number of oscillations
=16/10
= 1.6 s
4.If the speed of an object to travel 3600 m is 60m/s.Find the time taken to cover this distance in
second and minute.
Time taken= Distance/speed
= 3600/60
= 60 s
60s = 1minute
So, speed in second is 60s and in minute is 1minute.
