Breathing is the process by which oxygen is taken in (inhalation) and carbon dioxide is released out (exhalation). Respiration involves the oxidation of the food we eat to release energy. Carbon dioxide produced as a result of this is released out during exhalation.
Aerobic respiration: During aerobic respiration, the oxidation of food takes place in the presence of oxygen. Aerobic respiration can be summarised by the given equation:
\({ C }_{ 6 }{ H }_{ 12 }{ O }_{ 6 }+{ 6O }_{ 2 }\longrightarrow { 6CO }_{ 2 }+{ 6H }_{ 2 }O+Energy\)
Anaerobic respiration: During anaerobic respiration, food is broken down in the absence of oxygen. It is also known as fermentation and is more common in microorganisms such as yeast.
Sometimes pyruvate gets converted into lactic acid in muscles by the process of anaerobic respiration.
\({ C }_{ 6 }{ H }_{ 12 }{ O }_{ 6 }\xrightarrow [ ]{ Absenceofoxygen } Alcohol+{ CO }_{ 2 }+{ H }_{ 2 }O+Energy\)

(ii)Hormones are synthesised away from their targrt site.
10.
(a) The solar cooker box is covered with a plane glass plate so as to prevent heat from escaping.
(b) Sun is said to be the ultimate and the original source for most of the energy present on the earth. When sun rays fall on oceans and other water bodies, the water present in the water bodies gets evaporated and rises up in the atmosphere. In the upper part of the atmosphere, this water vapour gets condensed and forms douds, which give rain on the high lands. Therefore, the rain water runs over the Sand surface towards the large water bodies. This running water over the land surfaces is called river. Therefore, the energy of running water actually originates from the solar energy. This is why solar energy of water flowing in a river is considered to be an indirect form of solar energy.

It is given that: Voltage (V) = 2.50 V
Current (I) = 750 mA = 0.75 A
The bulb is lighted for 4 hours.
Thus,
(i) Power generated (P) = VI = 2.50\(\times\) 0.75 = 1.87 W
(ii) Resistance (R) = \(\frac { V }{ I } =\frac { 2.5 }{ 0.75 } =3.33\Omega \)
(iii) Energy consumed in 4 hours = Power\(\times\)Time = P\(\times\)t =1.87\(\times\)4 = 7.48 Wh
16.
A chemical change is represented by a chemical equation. When the number of atoms of different elements on reactant and product side are equal, then the chemical equation is called a balanced chemical equation.
It is important to balance a chemical equation because
(i) to validate the law of conservation of mass which states that the mass of reactants should be equal to the mass of the products. The total mass of a system is thus conserved.
This law holds true only if number of atoms of reactants reacting together is equal to number of product atoms formed.
(ii) a balanced chemical equation tells us about the physical state of the reactants and products whether they are solid (s), liquid (l) or gas (g) or aqueous(aq).
(iii) it tells us about heat changes that can take place in a chemical reaction. \(\Delta\) is the symbol of heat. Hence, it is endothermic or exothermic can be deduced from a balanced chemical equations.

18.
Carbon atoms have 4 electrons in their outcomes shell. So need to gain or lose electrons to attain noble gas configuration.
(i) It could gain four electrons forming c4- anion. But it would be difficult for the nucleus with six protons to hold on to ten electrons.
(ii) It could lose four electrons forming C4+ cations. But it would require a large amount energy to remove four electrons from its outermost shell.
Because of these reasons, carbon shares its valence electrons to complete its octet with other atoms to form covalent bonds.
(a) Covalent compounds are bad conductors of electricity because they do not contain ions.
(b) Covalent compounds have usually low melting and boiling because they are made up of electronically neutral molecule. So the force of attraction between the molecules of a covalent compound is very weak. Only a small amount of heat energy is required to break these weak molecular forces, due to which covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points.
19.
Magnetic Field Due to Circular Loop Current-Carrying Conductor:

In case of a circular current carrying conductor, the magnetic field lines would be in the form of concentric circles around every part of the periphery of the conductor. Since, magnetic field lines tend to remain closer when near the conductor, so the magnetic field would be stronger near the periphery of the loop. On the other hand, the magnetic field lines would be distant from each other when we move towards the centre of the current carrying loop. Finally, at the centre, the arcs of big circles would appear as a straight lines.
Magnetic field and number of turns of coil: Magnitude of magnetic field gets summed up with increase in the number of turns of coil. If there are 'n' turns of coil, magnitude of magnetic field will be 'n' times of magnetic field in case of a single turn of coil.
20.
Since the element B belongs to atomic number 17, it must be chlorine.
The element which burns golden flame in air is sodium. Therefore, the element A must be sodium.
When element sodium and chlorine reacts, it forms sodium chloride, the compound C. The compound C on electrolysis gives sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
Thus, A = Na; B = CI2; C = NaCI; D = NaOH.
Chemical Reactions involved:
\(2Na+{ CI }_{ 2 }\rightarrow 2NaCI\)
\(2NaCI(aq)+{ 2H }_{ 2 }O(I)\rightarrow 2NaOH(aq)+{ CI }_{ 2 }(g)+{ H }_{ 2 }(g)\)
21.
The mechanism of urine formation includes three steps namely,
(i) Glomerular ultra-filtration
(ii) Tubular reabsorption
(iii) Tubular secretion
(i)Glomerular Ultrafiltration:
Ultrafiltration of blood takes place inthe Malphighian body which acts as a biological filter. A Malphighian body comprises of Bowman's capsule and glomeruli.
The blood from the kidney flows through the capillaries of glomerulus where the blood pressure, is comparatively high and so brings about effective filtration. The hydrostatic pressure of the blood is always greater than the opposing pressures existing in the plasma protein and renal capillaries. Thus, the available net filtering force is chiefly responsible for glomerular filtration. The fluid in the capsule which is obtained by this process is termed glomerular filtrate. In man it is about 125ml/min. In 24 hours, the total volume of glomerular filtrate is 170 to 180 litres.
(ii) Tubular Reabsorption: Reabsorption takes place in the 'uriniferous tubules. Reabsorption of useful substances is a differential or selective process. The glomerular filtrate contains many useful substances such as glucose, amino acids, mineral salts and vitamins dissolved in large amount of water. Substances such as glucose, sodium and calcium, are actively reabsorbed in large quantities. Substances like urea and uric acid etc are reabsorbed in small quantities by a simple diffusion process or passive reabsorption. Substances like creatinine are not reabsorbed. They are completely eliminated.
Proximal convoluted tubule is responsible for the reabsorption of water, glucose, sodium phosphate and bicarbonates. On entering the distal convoluted tubule, the urine becomes nearly isotonic to the surrounding tissue fluid due to the active transport of sodium and passive transport of water. As urine (isotonic) passes into the collecting tubule it becomes once again hypertonic by the osmotic reabsorption of water under the influence of the hormone ADH. Thus the urine formed contains 96% of water, 2% urea and 2% of the metabolic products.
(iii) Tubular Secretion: This is the final step in the formation of urine during which the walls of tubule actively remove additional waste substances which are harmful to the body from the blood that have escaped filtration.
22.
A number of resistors are said to be connected in parallel if one end of each is connected to one point and the other end is connected to another point so that the potantial difference across each resistor is the same and is equal to the applied potential difference between the two points. If we connect a voltmeter first across R1, then across R2 ad lastly across R3, it will show same voltage.

Arrangement of the fuels in a decreasing order of their calorific values.
LPG > Kerosene > Coal

(a) As different elements were being discovered, scientists gathered more information about the properties of these elements. It was observed that it was difficult to organise all the information or properties of these elements. So scientists started discovering some pattern in their properties to classify all the known elements to make their study easier.
(b) Atomic mass and similarity of chemical properties (compounds formed by elements with oxygen and hydrogen) were the two criteria used by Mendeleev in his Periodic Table.
(c) Mendeleev left some gaps in his Periodic Table as he predicted the existence of some elements that had not been discovered at that time.
(d) Noble gases like helium, neon, argon etc. were not mentioned in Mendeleevs Periodic Table because these gases were discovered later as they are very inert and present in extremely low concentrations in our atmosphere. After the discovery of noble gases they could be placed in a new group without disturbing the existing order of the Periodic Table.
(e) The two isotopes of chlorine CI-35 and CI-37 would be placed in different slots of Mendeleevs Periodic Table as both have different atomic masses. But the two isotopes have same chemical properties so would also be placed in the same slot. This is a contradiction. Thus position of isotopes of an element is not defined in Mendeleevs Periodic Table.
