How did Dobereiner classify the elements? Give one example of what were the limitations of this classification.
Answer:
He classified in group of three such that atomic No. of middle elements is average of first and third element.
Eg : Li(7), Na(23), K(39).

Limitations :

  • Dobereiner could find only three triads, i,e, total of 9 elements only.
  • However the total number of elements were more than that of those encompassed in Dobereiner’s triad.
  • Thus Dobereiner could not classify most of the elements known at that time.

Define the power of lens. What is the meaning of “the power of lens is 1 dioptre” if the power of a lens -2.0D, then what type of lens is that ? when an object is kept at infinity from this type of lens, what is the size of the image formed.
Answer:
The ability of a lens to converge or diverge the ray of light after refraction is called power (p) of the lens. It is defined as the reciprocal of the focal length.
i.e, P = \(\frac{1}{f}\)
SI unit of power of a lens is diopter. A lens of focal length 100 cm has a power of 1 dioptre i,e., 1 dioptre = 1 m
If the power of a lens is 2 D then the type of lens is concave lens.
The size of the image in this lens is highly diminished point sized.

Question 31.
What is the function of receptors in our body? think of situations where receptors do not work properly what problemsare likely to arise ?
Answer:
Receptors are specialised called tissues, organ game and nerve ending which are able to pick up specific stimuli e.g gustatory receptors help in detecting taste and olfactory receptors help in sensing smell receptors provide sensory input about external and internal environment. Without them an animal will not be able to observe handle and taste food.

It will, not be aware of an approaching enemy. The animal may not be able to correct its positions and will fall down repeatedly. Therefore animal will not be able to perform the normal activities connected with the defective receptors.

a) Name the hormone secreted by an endocrine gland during emergency.
b) Compare and contrast nervous and hormonal mechanism for control and co – ordination in animals ?
Answer:
a) Adrenalin hormone is secreted by the adrenal gland. It helps to regulate heartbeat, blood pressure, metabolism in the times of stress or emergency to cope up with the situation.

b) Nervous system:

  • It consists of nerve impules between PNS, CNS and brain.
  • The axone and dendrite transmit through a coordinated effort.
  • The flow of information is rapid and the response is quick,
  •  Nerve impulses are not specific in their action.
  • Effects are short level.

Hormonal system:

Question 34.
An electric geyser rated 1500 W, 250 V is connected to a 250 V line mains. Calculate the electric current draw n by it, energy consumed by it in 50 hours and energy consumed if each unit coast Rs. 6.00.
Answer:
Given P = 1500 WV = 250 V
i) Current drawn I = \(\frac{P}{V}=\frac{1500}{250}\) = 6A

ii) Electric energy consumed by gyser in
50 hours = Power × time
= 1500 × 50 = 75,000 wh
= 75 kwh
Since 1 kwh = 1 unit
75 kwh = 75 units.
∴Energy consumed = 75 units

iii) Cost of one unit = 6.00 Cost
75 units = 75 × 6.00
Rs. 450.00

Question 36.
Why does the sun appear reddish early in the morning. Why does the sky appear dark instead of blue to an astronaut.
Answer:
During sunrise the light rays coming from the sun have to travel a greater distance in the earth’s atmosphere before reaching our eyes in this journey. The shorter waves of light are scattered out and only longer wavelengths are able to reach our eyes. Since blue colour has a shorter wave length and red colour has longer wave length the red colour is able to reach our eye after the atmospheric scattering of light, therefore the sun appears reddish early in the morning.

The sky appears dark instead of blue to an astronaut because there is no atmosphere in the outer space that can scatter the sunlight as the sunlight reaches the eyes of the astronauts. Without scattering the sky appears black to them.

Question 38.
a) What are the advantages of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction.
b) List any four reasons for adopting contraceptive method
c) If a woman is using copper T, will it help in protecting her from sexually transmitted diseases. Why ?
Answer:
a) Advantages of sexual reproduction.

  • In sexual reproduction more variations are produced thus it ensures survival of species in a pollination.
  • The new formed individual has characteristics of both the parents.
  • Variations are more variable in sexual mode then in asexual one. This is because in asexual reproduction, DNA has to function inside the inherited cellular apparatus.

b) Four reasons for adopting contraceptive methods are

  • To increase the gap between two children.
  • To prevent unwanted pregnancy.
  • To prevent transmission of STD’s
  • To control populations growth.

c) If a woman is using copper – T it will not help in protecting her from sexually transmitted diseases. Copper – T prevents only implantation in the uterus.
