This is Animal cell. The boundary of the cell is known as cell membrane. Inside the cell membrane many tiny organelles present in the cytoplasm. The cell organelles are golgi apparatus, Lysosomes, Ribosomes, Rough and Smooth endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and nucleus, Mitochondria is the power house of the cell. The energy produced with in the mitochondrian is used for all the metabalic activities of the cell. Lysosomes are called as suicidal bags because they are the main digestive compartments. Endoplasmic reticulum synthesis of protein lipid and steriods. Nucleus is the brain of the cell. It controls all the processes of chemical reactions that take place inside the cell.

First aid is the immediate treatment given to the victim of trauma or sudden illness before medical help is made available. For the following situation we have to give first aid,
i) Any vehicle accident other incident.
ii) Any burns due to heat, chemical or electricity

ii) Antiseptic cream should be applied.
iii) The burnt area should be covered with a clean non-sticking cloth or bandages.
187.
Tuberculosis:
(i) Causative agent : Mycobacterium tuberculae bacteria.

Stability:
Stability is a measure of the body's ability to maintain its original position.
The three types of stability are
(i) Stable equilibrium
(ii) Unstable equilibrium
(iii) Neutral equilibrium
Stable Equilibrium:
i) The frustum can be tilted through quite a big angle without toppling.
ii) Its centre of gravity is raised when it is displaced.
iii) The vertical line through its centre of gravity still falls within its base.
iv) So it can return to its original position.
Unstable Equilibrium:
i) The frustum will topple with the slightest tilting. Its centre of gravity is lowered when it is displaced.
ii) The vertical line through its centre of gravity falls outside its base.
Neutral Equilibrium:
(i) It causes frustum to topple.
(ii) The frustum will rolls about but does not topple.
(iii) Its centre of gravity remains at the same height when it is displaced.
(iv) The body will stay in any position to which it has been displaced.
190.

iv) Immerse the stone inside the water by holding the thread.
v) The stone should not touch the walls of the measuring cylinder.
vi) Note down the volume of water and take it to be V2
vii) The volume of the stone is equal to the raise in the volume of water.
viii) Volume of stone = V2 - V1

Take a leaf from any one of trees in your neighbourhood. Place the leaf on a graph sheet and draw the outline of the leaf with a pencil. Remove the leaf. You can see the outline of the leaf on the graph sheet.
i) Now count the number of whole squares enclosed within the outline of the leaf. Take it to be M
ii) Then count the number of squares that are more than half. Take it as N
iii) Next, Count the number of squares which are half of a whole square. Note it to be P.
iv) Finally, count the number of squares that are less than half. Let it be a Q.
v) Now the approximate area of the leaf can be calculated using the following formula.
Approximate area of the leaf = M+(3/4)N+(1/2)P+(1/4)
This formula can be used to calculate the area of any irregularly shaped plane figures.
197.
In underground modified stem, whole stem is burried under the ground and it has definite growth. Some stems that grow under the ground to store food. There are four types of underground stems they are,
i) Rhizome:
It is underground thick stem with nodes and internodes with scale leaves at the node.
(Eg) Ginger and turmeric.
ii) Corm:
This underground stem is round in shape and flat at the top and bottom. The daughter plants are arise from their buds. (Eg) Colocasia.
iii) Tuber:
It is an enlarged spherical underground stem and stores food. It has many dormant buds and it grows into a new plant. (Eg) Potato.
iv) Bulb:
It is a condensed stem which is disc like and stores food in the fleshy leaves.
The bulb has two types of leaves
1) Fleshy leaves - Inner part of stem
2) Scaly leaves - Upper part of stem
(E.g) Garlic and onion
198.
The process by which pollen grains reach stigma of the flower is called as pollination. Pollination can be classified into two types based on their mode of transmission.
i) Artificial pollination:
The transfer of pollen grains from anther to stigma by manually is called as artificial pollination
ii) Natural Pollination:
1) The transfer of pollen grains from anther to stigma by insect or any other natural sources is called as natural pollination.
2) Pollination can be classified into another two types based on their site of transmission
i) Self pollination:
Pollen grains are transferred from the anther to the stigma of the same flower or to another flower of the same plant is known as self pollination.
ii) Cross pollination:
Pollen grains are transferred from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower of the same kind or different plant known as cross pollination.

(i) Yes, an atom of an element has no electron will have the mass.
(ii) (Atomic mass, only depends on the mrmber of protons and the number of neutrons inside the nucleus. It is independent of number of electrons.)
(iii) Atom can exist with out electron and becomes a cation.
Ex:
1) Hydrogen atoms (Z = 1) has only one electrons.
2) It loses one electron and becomes H+ ion
3) H → H+ + 1e-
(atom) (Ion)
207.
(i) Yes, I have came across such situation in some times. Because of the following reasons it may occur.
(ii) Due to heavy work body will become to tired.
(iii) If the mind is not take proper rest also leads to this situation.
(iv) To overcome these situation we have to keep our body and mind with proper rest.

When solid is heated, the particles gain energy and vibrate vigorously. The particles move slightly further apart from one another.
Hence, the volume increases due to the greater distance between the particles. But the size of the particles remains the same.
210.
a) The matter begun to 'expand' when heated - 'Expansion'.
b) Ring and metal ball experiment is suitable for this hypothesis.
When the ball is heated, the ball has expanded and will not be able to pass through the ring until it has cooled.
211.
Mostly leaves are arise from the stem in plants. In ginger the arial leaves are arise from underground and also the scaly leaves are also present in the rhizome. So ginger is consider as stem.
