5. Most organelles in a eukaryotic cell are found in the _________

  • a) Cell Wall
  • b) Cytoplasm
  • c) Nucleus
  • d) Vacuole
Answer: b) Cytoplasm

II. Fill in the blanks (3x1=3)

6. The SI unit of temperature is _________

Answer: The SI unit of temperature is Kelvin (K).

7. I am Like a policeman Who am I _________

Answer: I am Like a policeman Who am I Cell membrane.

8. The Instrument used to observe the cell is _________

Answer: The Instrument used to observe the cell is Microscope.

III. Answer any 6 of the following (6x2=12)

9. What is Temperature.

Answer: Temperature is a measure of the degree of hotness or coldness of an object. It is the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

10. Make a list of electrical equipment at home which we get Heat From.

Answer: Electrical equipment at home that produce heat include:
  • 1. Electric Iron / Iron Box
  • 2. Water Heater / Geyser
  • 3. Electric Stove / Induction Stove
  • 4. Toaster
  • 5. Hair Dryer

11. What is a Solution?

Answer: A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. It consists of a solute (the substance being dissolved) and a solvent (the substance in which the solute dissolves).

12. What happens when Canesugar is strongly heated? Mention any Two changes in it?

Answer: When cane sugar is strongly heated, it undergoes a chemical change.
  1. It melts and turns brown, a process called caramelization.
  2. Upon further heating, it turns into a black, solid substance, which is carbon. This is called charring or carbonization.

13. Circle the odd one out. Give Reason for your Choice.
i) Rotting of an Egg, condensation of Water Vapour, Trimming of Hair, Ripening of Fruit.

Answer:

Odd one out: Condensation of Water Vapour.

Reason: Condensation of water vapour is a reversible physical change, where water changes from a gaseous state to a liquid state. The other options (Rotting of an Egg, Trimming of Hair, Ripening of Fruit) are all irreversible changes.

Key labels:

  • Capsule (outermost layer)
  • Cell Wall
  • Plasma Membrane
  • Cytoplasm
  • Ribosomes
  • Nucleoid (contains genetic material)
  • Flagellum (for movement)

15. Analogy:

i) Prokaryote : Bacteria :: Eukaryote : Amoeba / Plant Cell / Animal

ii) Spirogyra : Plant Cell :: Amoeba : Animal Cell

16. Match the following.

Answer:
  • i) Heat - Joule
  • ii) Thermal Equilibrium - No heat flow
  • iii) Ice Cube - 0°C
  • iv) Boiling Water - 100°C

IV. Answer briefly. (any Two) (2x5=10)

17. Distinguish between Heat and Temperature.

Answer:
Heat Temperature
Heat is the total kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance. Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules.
It is a form of energy that flows from a hotter body to a colder body. It is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body.
The SI unit of heat is Joule (J). The SI unit of temperature is Kelvin (K).
It is measured using a calorimeter. It is measured using a thermometer.

18. Give one example for each case that Happens around you.

Answer:
  • a) Slow and Fast Change
    Slow Change: Rusting of iron.
    Fast Change: Burning of paper.
  • b) Reversible and Irreversible change
    Reversible Change: Melting of ice.
    Irreversible Change: Cooking rice.
  • c) Physical and Chemical Change
    Physical Change: Tearing a paper.
    Chemical Change: Burning of wood.
  • d) natural and Man - Made change
    Natural Change: Ripening of a fruit.
    Man-Made Change: Constructing a building.
  • e) Desirable and Undesirable change
    Desirable Change: Ripening of fruits.
    Undesirable Change: Rotting of fruits.

19. Tabulate any five Cell organelles and their Functions.

Answer:
Cell Organelle Function
Nucleus Controls all the activities of the cell ("Brain" of the cell).
Mitochondria Produces energy for the cell ("Powerhouse" of the cell).
