11 (i) As kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to its mass, so if mass is ] doubled (i.e. it becomes 2 m), then kinetic energy will also get doubled. (ii) On the other hand, the kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to the "square of its velocity" (v2). So, if the velocity is doubled (i.e. it becomes 2 v), then kinetic energy will become four times. This is because (2v)2 = 4v2. Hence, it is clear that doubling the velocity has a greater effect on the kinetic energy of an object. 12 The sensation of hearing, which enables us to distinguish between a loud and a soft ] sound is called loudness. The factors on which sound depends are: (i) Amplitude of vibration of the source producing the sound waves. (ii) Amplitude depends upon the force with which an object is made to vibrate. (iii) Loudness is also related to the intensity of sound. 13 (i) "Atoms are indivisible particles which can neither be created nor destroyed in a ] chemical reaction". (ii) Chemical formula. Example - Chemical formula of sodium carbonate is Na2CO3. 14 ]

15 (i) According to Thomson's model, an atom is made up of positively charged sphere in ] which electrons are embedded. The negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude. An atom has the same number of electrons and protons. This explains that the atom is neutral as a whole. (ii) Electrons revolve around the nucleus in certain fixed paths which are called orbits or shells having definite energy.

(iii) Atomic number = Number of protons = 7. 16 (a) Lichens are a symbiotic combination between algae and fungi where both are ] mutually benefited. It is used as pollution indicators. (b) (i) Cockroach - Malphigian tubules (ii) Leech - Nephridia 17 (a) The two ways to treat an infectious disease are: ] (i) To reduce the effects of the disease. (ii) To kill the cause of the disease. (b) Syphilis and AIDS. 18 (a) Air borne diseases occur through the little droplets thrown out by an infected person ] who sneezes or coughs. Someone standing closely can breathe in these droplets, and the microbes get a chance to start a new infection. (b) Pathogens Example - bacteria, fungi, virus, protozoan (Any one) 19 (a) Viruses have different cell pathways as compared to bacteria. Thus, they cannot be ] killed by antibiotics. Viruses have few biochemical mechanisms of their own. They enter the host cell and use their machinery for their life processes. If we have to reduce the severity of the disease then we have to work against our body or the host cell. (b) (i) Diabetes and AIDS. (ii) The built in resistance of body for a disease is called immunity.

(b) (i) Class Pisces.

(b) The body of some animals is made up of two layers of cells, one makes up the cells on the outside of the body and the other makes the inner linning of the body, so these animals are considered diploblastic. 7] The two types of natural resources are: (a) Exhaustible resources - The resources which take millions of years to be formed and are depleted at a faster rate due to consumption by human beings are called exhaustible resources. Examples - coal, petroleum. (Any one) (b) Inexhaustible resources - The resources which are recycled easily and can be replenished in a very short duration of time are called inexhaustible resources.

10 (a) Characteristics of wave motion. ] (i) Wave motion is a periodic disturbance which is produced by a vibrating object. (ii) In wave motion, due to disturbance the particles of the medium vibrates along with its mean position, but do not leave their position. (b) Radio waves and light waves. 11 ]

12 Sound waves are called mechanical waves because a material medium is required for ] propagation of sound. During resonance, the amplitude of the vibrating particles increases because a compression falls over a compression and a rarefaction falls over a rarefaction. As intensity of sound is directly proportional to the square of amplitude, maximum sound is heard. 13 ]

Limitation of Thomson's model: It failed to explain how the positive and negative charges were arranged in an atom so close to each other. 16 (a) (i) Better social environment. ] (ii) Better public cleanliness. (b) Antibiotics block the biochemical pathways of bacteria due to which they are not able

to make their cell walls and they die. This helps in curing bacterial diseases. 17 (a) The water borne diseases occur if the excreta from someone suffering from an ] infectious gut disease, such as cholera, get mixed with the drinking water used by people living near by. The cholera causing microbes will enter new hosts through the water they drink and cause disease in them. Such diseases are much likely to spread in the absence of safe supplies of drinking water. (b) (i) Primary host is Human being. (ii) Secondary host is Mosquito. 18 (a) Immunization is a process of inoculation of substance into a healthy person in order ] to develop immunity against the disease. (b) Disadvantages of principle of treatment. A person gets bedridden due to which his or her work gets affected. Person becomes source of infection for others also. 19 (a) (i) Fungi are hetrotrophic eukaryotic organisms. ] They use decaying organic material as food and are therefore, called saprophytes. (b) Cnidoblasts are the special stinging cells present on the tentacles of Hydra which helps in capturing its prey. 20 ]

21 (a) The tendency of a liquid or gas to push an object immersed in it upward with some

force(called upthrust or buoyant force) is called buoyancy. An object floats on the surface of a liquid if the weight of the object is equal to buoyant force acting on it. Weight of object = Weight of liquid displaced by the immersed part of the object. (b) The buoyant force depends upon the following two factors: 1. The volume of object immersed in fluid. 2. The density of fluid in which the object is immersed. Or Sound wave is a kind of energy which is produced due to vibrations. When the vibration stops, the sound also stops. This can be illustrated by the following examples: 1. The sound in a sitar or guitar is produced by the vibrations of the stretched strings. 2. The sound of a drum is produced by the vibrations of their skin or membranes when struck. 3. The sound of a flute is produced by the vibration of the air enclosed in the flute tube. 4. the sound in the radio or television is produced by the vibration of the thin cone of the speaker. 5. When a bird flaps its wings, it produces vibrations in air and we hear sound. 6. A stretched rubber band when plucked vibrates and produces sound. 7. The underwater sound waves produced in submarines are produced by the vibrations in their propellers. 8. the sound of our voice is produced by the vibrations of two vocal chords in our throat, caused by air coming from the lungs.

24 (a) (i) Lichens: Some fungal species live in permanent mutually dependent relationships ] with blue-green algae. Such relationships are called symbiotic and the symbiotic life forms are called lichens. (ii) Cryptogamae: The reproductive organs of the thallophytes, the bryophytes and the pteridophytes are very inconspicuous and are therefore, called 'cryptogamae'. It means the plants with 'hidden reproductive organs'. (iii) Phanerogams: The plants with well differentiated reproductive tissues that ultimately make seeds are called 'phanerogams'. (b) Whales can swim in water like the fishes but are not fish as they respire with lungs and have four chambered heart and mammary glands, so they are mammals. (c) When the body of an organism can be cut into two similar halves which are mirror image of each other, only by one plane then the organism is said to have bilateral symmetry. Or

(a) (i) Just like amphibians, bryophytes require water for fertilization as their gametes require aqueous medium for movement. (ii) There are three layers of cells from which differentiated tissues can be made. This allows inside and outside body linings as well as some organs to be made. There is thus some degree of tissue formation. (iii) Coelom is a true internal body cavity in which well-developed organs can be accommodated.

4] (a) Swimmers are provided with an inflated rubber jacket or rubber tube. The jacket tube has low weight and large volume. Hence, it displaces large volume of water. As a result, up thrust due to water increases and the person remains floating i.e., there is no chance of drowning of the swimmer in such case. (b) It is easier to swim in sea water because density of sea water is more due to its salty nature. Hence, up thrust acting on the swimmer in sea water is more in case of sea water than in fresh water. So, it is easier to swim in sea water. 5]
