SECTION-E
Question no. 37 to 39 are case-based/data-based questions with 2 to 3 short sub-parts. Internal choice is provided in
one of these sub-parts.
37. Mixture of two or more substance with one phase only, i.e., having no distinct boundary of constituent particles
are called solution. For example, solution of sugar and water, solution of salt and water, lemonade, soft drinks,
etc. Solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
In a solution, components are mixed in such a way that they appear as only one phase. Seeing by naked eye,
constituent particles of a solution cannot be identified because particles are mixed evenly throughout.
(i) A dispersed phase particle in a zig-zag movement is shown. What kind of motion is exhibited by the
particle?
(ii) Is alloy is a homogeneous mixture?

(iii) Are colloidal solutions homogeneous or heterogeneous in nature?
o

mass percentage of the solution?
38. Leucoplasts are colourless plastids. They store starch, oil, proteins. Chromoplasts are coloured plastids. They
contain pigments, e.g. Chloroplasts contain green pigment present in the plant cell. Chromoplasts provide colour
to various flowers and fruits.
(i) What is the function of leucoplasts?

(ii) Which plastids provide colour to fruits and flowers?
(iii) Are plastids present only in plant cells?
(iv) Which plastids contain green pigment ?
o
(v) Which plastids bring about the process of photosynthesis ?
39. Potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or its configuration or its
shape.
When work is done on an object without changing its velocity it gets stored in the object as potential energy. This
potential energy may be gravitational or elastic potential energy.
Figure : Potential Energy due to Shape.
For example, if a rubber band is stretched work is done to change its shape. Thus, the rubber band acquires
potential energy and this energy remains stored in the rubber band. Now when the rubber band is released, it
tends to acquire its original shape at the expense of potential energy stored in it. This energy is hence manifested
in the form of a jerk shown by rubber band or sound generated in the process. A rubber band acquires potential
energy due to change in its shape.
Figure : Potential Energy due to Shape.
An object may also possess potential energy due to a change in its height above the ground surface. For example,
if a box is lying on a table and is picked up and placed in a shelf above the table, then work is done upon this
object against the gravitational pull of earth. Such an object is now said to possess gravitational potential energy.
Thus, we may define gravitational potential energy of an object at a point above the ground level as work done in
raising it from ground level to that point. Thus gravitational potential energy at that point is actually a relative
term which is described by change in potential energy with respect to the ground level considered by us.
(i) What do you mean by potential energy?
(ii) A car is accelerating up a slope. What are the changes in its kinetic energy and potential energy as it is
moving up the slope?
o
(iii) Calculate the work required to be done to stop a car of 2500 kg moving at a velocity of 90 km h-1 ?
