 A. Assertion reason questions:- (1×10=10)
Following questions consist of two statements – Assertion (A) and Reason
(R). Answer these questions selecting the appropriate option given below:
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
1. Assertion: Kidneys are vital organs for the excretory system. Reason:
They filter waste products and excess substances from the blood to form
urine.
2. Assertion: Sweating is an important excretory process in humans.
Reason: It helps regulate body temperature and eliminates some waste
products.
3. Assertion: Urea is a major nitrogenous waste product in humans. Reason:
It is formed in the liver during the breakdown of amino acids and is
excreted by the kidneys.
4. Assertion: The reabsorption of water and essential substances occurs in
the renal tubules. Reason: It helps in concentrating urine and retaining
necessary elements in the body.
5. Assertion: Dialysis is used to treat kidney failure. Reason: It helps to
filter waste products and excess substances from the blood when kidneys
are not functioning properly.
6. Assertion: The cornea is responsible for focusing light onto the retina.
Reason: It is the transparent front part of the eye that refracts light
entering the eye.
7. Assertion: Rod cells in the retina are responsible for color vision. Reason:
Rod cells are sensitive to low light levels and are mainly involved in
black-and-white vision.
8. Assertion: The lens of the eye changes its shape to focus on objects at
varying distances. Reason: The ciliary muscles surrounding the lens
contract or relax to adjust its curvature, allowing for accommodation.
9. Assertion: Myopia (nearsightedness) is caused by the elongation of the
eyeball. Reason: In myopia, light entering the eye is focused in front of
the retina, leading to blurry distance vision.
10. Assertion: The optic nerve carries visual information from the eye to the
brain. Reason: It is composed of a bundle of nerve fibers that transmit
electrical signals generated by the retina's photoreceptor cell

a) Explain how dialysis works and its significance in the treatment
of kidney failure.
b) Explain the process of transpiration and its role in the excretion
of excess water in plants.
c) Describe the process of electrolytic refining of metals. How
does it help in obtaining pure metals from their impure forms?
d) Explain the reaction of metals with water with the help of
reactivity series.
e) Discuss the process of vision, from the entry of light into the eye
to the formation of an image on the retina. Include details about
the role of the lens, cornea, and retina.
f) Describe the mechanism of accommodation in the human eye.
How does the eye adjust its focal length to focus on objects at
different distances?
