Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow it.
Bile juice is stored in a sac called, gall bladder, located near its organ of secretion, liver. The gall bladder releases the bile juice into the small intestine whenever food reaches there. Though bile juice is devoid of any digestive enzymes, it is required for the digestion of fats. The fats cannot be digested easily because they are insoluble in water and are present as large globules. Bile juice breaks down big fat droplets into smaller droplets. These are then easily digested by the enzymes released from the pancreas.
(a) Which organ secretes the bile juice?
(b) Why is digestion of fats difficult as compared to that of other nutrients?
(c) How does bile juice help in digestion of that of other mutrients?
(d) Where is the digestion of fat completed?
(e) Does bile juice digest fat completely?

Thermo flask is a special kind of flask for keeping liquids. It prevents loss or gain of heat by any of the three methods. It keeps liquid warm or cold for a long time. It was invented by Sir James Dewan in 1893.
It consists of a double-walled glass-cylinder. A vacuum is created in the space between the double walls. The two inner surfaces of glass walls are silvered. The flask is placed on a spring within a non-conducting cylindrical case to protect it from jerks and breakages. The gaps between flask and outer casing is packed with felt pads. The mouth of the flask is finally closed with a cork.

Since the container is made of glass which is a bad conductor of heat and therefore, the loss or gain of heat due to conduction is prevented. As there is vacuum between the double walls, it prevents transmission of heat by convection. Due to silvering of the inner surfaces, the heat loss by radiation is prevented. The cork and the felt pads also help to preserve the heat inside the flask. So, the hot liquids like tea, coffee, etc., remain hot and cold liquids like water, juice, etc., remain cold for a long time.
32.
If we leave a piece of iron in the open for some time, it acquires a coating of brownish substances. This substance is called rust and the process of its formation is called rusting. This is the change that effects iron articles and slowly destroys them. Since iron is used in making bridges, ships, cars, truck bodies and many other articles. The monetary loss due to rusting is huge. For rusting the presence of both oxygen and water (or water vapour) is essential. Infact, if the moisture content in air is high which means if it is more humid, rusting becomes faster.
Methods of preventing rust formation: Rusting of an iron object can be prevented or reduced by not allowing air and moisture to come in contact with the surface of iron objects. Following are the methods of prevention form rusting.
(i) Putting oil or paint over the surface of iron implements.
(ii) Galvanization: In this method, surface of iron is covered with a layer of more active metal like zinc. Zinc metal looses electrons in preference to iron and hence, prevents the rusting of iron.
(iii) By tin-plating
(iv) Use of anti-rust solutions: Alkaline chromate and alkaline phosphate solution act as anti-rust solutions. When iron objects are dipped into a boiling and strongly alkaline solution of sodium phosphate, a protective insoluble film of iron phosphate is formed on them. This film protects the article form rusting.
33.

(iv) Yak, Alpace, Llama, Angora goat, camel.
(v)By 'selective breeding' we can obtain the special characters is the woollen fibre.
(vi)Awareness regarding those animals who are used by human being for different types of clothing.

(c) Liberated-oxygen, Utilised-carbon dioxide.
(d) All plants cannot do photosynthesis, only green plants can do photosynthesis.
35.
