III. Answer all the questions. 4x5=20

31. a) How will you determine the density of a stone using a measuring Jar?

To determine the density of a stone, we need to find its mass and volume.

1. Find the Mass (m): Measure the mass of the stone using a physical balance. Let it be 'm' grams.
2. Find the Volume (V):
   • Take a measuring jar and fill it partially with water. Note the initial volume of water (V₁).
   • Tie the stone with a thread and gently immerse it completely into the water.
   • The water level will rise. Note the final volume of water (V₂).
   • The volume of the stone is the difference between the final and initial readings: V = V₂ - V₁.
3. Calculate Density (ρ): Use the formula:
   Density (ρ) = Mass (m) / Volume (V)
   The unit of density will be g/cm³.

(or)

b) Explain the types of Stability with suitable examples?

There are three types of stability:

1. Stable Equilibrium: An object is in stable equilibrium if it returns to its original position after being slightly displaced. This happens when its centre of gravity is at its lowest possible position.
   Example: A book lying flat on a table.
2. Unstable Equilibrium: An object is in unstable equilibrium if it does not return to its original position and topples over when slightly displaced. This happens when its centre of gravity is at its highest position.
   Example: A cone balanced on its tip.
3. Neutral Equilibrium: An object is in neutral equilibrium if it stays in the new position when displaced. Its centre of gravity remains at the same height.
   Example: A ball rolling on a flat horizontal surface.

32. a) Differentiate metals and non-metals?

Property	Metals	Non-Metals
State	Generally solid at room temperature (except Mercury).	Exist as solids, liquids, or gases.
Lustre	Have a shiny appearance.	Have a dull appearance (except iodine).
Malleability	Can be beaten into thin sheets.	Brittle, cannot be beaten into sheets.
Ductility	Can be drawn into wires.	Not ductile.
Conductivity	Good conductors of heat and electricity.	Poor conductors (except graphite).

(or)

b) Draw the structure of an atom and explain the position of the sub-atomic particles.

(A diagram should be drawn showing a central nucleus with protons and neutrons, and electrons in orbits around it.)

Explanation of Structure and Position:

An atom consists of a central nucleus and electrons that revolve around the nucleus in specific paths called orbits or shells.

• Protons (p⁺): These are positively charged particles. They are located inside the dense, central part of the atom called the nucleus.
• Neutrons (n⁰): These are neutral particles with no charge. They are also located inside the nucleus along with the protons.
• Electrons (e⁻): These are negatively charged particles. They are much lighter than protons and neutrons and revolve at high speed in specific orbits or shells around the nucleus.

33. a) Explain the underground stems.

Underground stems are modified stems that grow beneath the soil surface. They primarily function in food storage and vegetative propagation. The main types are:

• Rhizome: A thick, horizontal underground stem with distinct nodes and internodes. It has scale leaves and buds. Example: Ginger, Turmeric.
• Corm: A fleshy, spherical or flattened underground stem which is a condensed form of a rhizome. It stores food. Example: Colocasia.
• Tuber: A swollen, fleshy tip of an underground stem branch that stores a large amount of food (starch). It has buds called 'eyes'. Example: Potato.
• Bulb: A short, underground stem with fleshy scale leaves that store food. The stem is reduced to a disc-like structure. Example: Onion, Garlic.

(or)

b) Write a brief account on Pollination.

Pollination is the process of transferring pollen grains from the male part of a flower (anther) to the female part (stigma).

Types of Pollination:

• Self-Pollination: The transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of the same flower or another flower on the same plant.
• Cross-Pollination: The transfer of pollen from the anther of a flower on one plant to the stigma of a flower on another plant of the same species.

Agents of Pollination:

Pollination is facilitated by various agents, including:

• Wind (Anemophily): e.g., Maize, Grass
• Insects (Entomophily): e.g., Sunflower, Rose
• Water (Hydrophily): e.g., Vallisneria
• Birds (Ornithophily): e.g., Hibiscus

34. a) Write about any three communicable disease?

Three common communicable diseases are:

1. Tuberculosis (TB):
   • Causative Agent: Bacterium (*Mycobacterium tuberculosis*).
   • Transmission: Spreads through the air via droplets from the coughs or sneezes of an infected person.
   • Symptoms: Persistent cough, fever, night sweats, weight loss.
2. Cholera:
   • Causative Agent: Bacterium (*Vibrio cholerae*).
   • Transmission: Spreads through contaminated food and water.
   • Symptoms: Severe watery diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration.
3. Common Cold:
   • Causative Agent: Virus (Rhinovirus).
   • Transmission: Spreads through droplets from coughs/sneezes or direct contact with an infected person.
   • Symptoms: Runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough.

(or)

b) How the diseases are transmitted from person to the other person?

Diseases are transmitted from one person to another through various modes:

• Direct Transmission:
  • Direct Contact: Through physical contact like touching, kissing (e.g., skin infections, common cold).
  • Droplet Infection: By inhaling droplets expelled during coughing, sneezing, or talking by an infected person (e.g., Influenza, COVID-19, TB).
• Indirect Transmission:
  • Airborne Transmission: When microorganisms remain suspended in the air for a long time and are inhaled (e.g., Measles).
  • Contaminated Food and Water: By consuming food or water contaminated with pathogens (e.g., Cholera, Typhoid).
  • Vectors: Through insects or animals that carry the pathogen from an infected person to a healthy one (e.g., Mosquitoes transmit Malaria and Dengue).
  • Fomites: Through contact with contaminated objects like clothes, utensils, doorknobs (e.g., Common cold).

Information Transfer one (31)

Transfer of Information

Information can be of various types and may be presented in a wide variety of ways such as a paragraph or an or an essay, a graph, a table, a diagram, a picture, a sketch, etc. Transfer of information implies converting information from one form of presentation to another form. As such, information may be categorised into two broad areas:

Verbal: Here ideas are expressed using words, idioms and phrases in language.

Non-Verbal: In this area, information is represented by means of some graphic method either a diagram or sketch or or bar graph or even a flow chart.

Model Example 1

Observe the following bar diagram and write out two paragraphs about your interpretation of the same.

Fruit Sales

Solution:

The given bar graph represents the sale of fruits during a summer month in a supermarket in Dubai. The figures in ₹ thousands on the left on the Y-axis show the quantum of sales per month while the bars along the X-axis show the type of fruit, namely, apples, bananas, grapes, oranges and pears.

According to the bars plotted, the sale of bananas was the highest which almost touched ₹ 60,000 as against the sale of pears which was less than ₹ 30,000 only, almost half. Oranges occupied the second place with sales as high as ₹ 50,000. Apples fared well with a sale of ₹ 30,000. The consumption of fruits during the summer months seemed to be quite good.

Model Example 2

Transfer the information about the Water-cycle given in the flow chart into a paragraph:

Solution: Water-Cycle

It is common knowledge that the sun-rays absorb water from the surface of the Earth, namely seas, streams, rivers and other such water bodies. This gets converted into water vapour and thus rises. As it goes higher, it becomes cooler and begins to move. Various particles of vapour collect together and condense to form clouds which when become too heavy are difficult to sustain. The condensed vapour in these clouds then comes down in the form of rains and fills the various water bodies from where once again it evaporates with the heat of the sun and thus, the cycle of water is maintained.

Model Example 3

Read the following paragraph and transfer the information in the form of a tree diagram:

We all read for a variety of reasons. Our basic reason for reading is probably pleasure. We read literature mostly because we enjoy it. Reading for pleasure may take various forms. We may read just to pass the time. We often read for information and knowledge. We find pleasure in learning about life in the Swiss Alps or the Mississippi river. We also read simply for enjoyment. We get pleasure from the arrangement of words. We can find pleasure even in syllables just as children like the sound 'Ring around the Rosie' although they may not know what the words mean.

Solution: Tree Diagram for Reasons for Reading

A1. Information Transfer (Non-verbal to Verbal)

Transfer the given information into a paragraph.

Manufacture of Paper

Paper is chiefly used for writing. The raw material used in the manufacture of paper is wood, grass, bamboo and rags. There are several processes by which the raw material is converted into pulp. Most commonly the raw material is cut into pieces and then immersed in water to convert it into pulp. The pulp is then mixed with lime for whitening it. This pulp and lime mixture is boiled at high pressure. The pulp is next passed through wire meshes. The paper sheets are removed from the mesh while it is still wet. These wet sheets are passed over heated rollers to remove the water and the paper is dried so as to make thin sheets of paper.

OR (Alternative Example)

Information Transfer (Non-verbal to verbal)

Ans. THE JOURNEY OF MANUSCRIPT
