Answer - Science Module Form 2 (Structured Questions)

This document contains information about the structure and function of various sensory organs in the human body, including the skin, nose, tongue, ear, eye, and vision. It discusses topics like how the skin detects changes in the environment and prevents water loss and bacterial entry. It also describes the inner workings of the ear, including the eardrum, ossicles, semicircular canals, and how unequal pressure can cause ear pain. Key eye structures like the sclera, iris, pupil, cornea, lens, and retina are defined along with common vision conditions like myopia and presbyopia.

2
( Structured Questions )
1) Detect every changes in the environment.
2) Prevent Water loss ( The skin is waterproof ) & The entry of bacteria and germs.
3) The thickness of the epidermis layer & The number of sensory receptors present.
4) To minimize the pain ( The skin on these areas less sensitive to touch and pain ).
5) The fingertips and neck are more sensitive to stimuli than the palm.
6) The presence of mucus in the nasal cavity & The intensity of the chemical substances in the air.
7) When we have flu , the thick layer of mucus in the nose hinders sensory cells from being stimulated.
8) When we eat, the chemical substances from the food dissolve in saliva and stimulate the taste buds.
9) Sugar is the most accurate food substance.
10) Because, the surface the tongue is covered with little bumps, called taste buds.
11) Because, the food substances are insoluble in saliva so no taste receptors stimulated. No impulses
are formed to be send to the brain for interpretation.
12) a) i) Pinna ii) Auditory canal
b) i) Eardrum ii) Ossicles iii) Oval window iii) Eustachian tube
c) i) Cochlea ii) Auditory nerve iii) Semicircular canals
13) a) Auditory canal b) Eardrum c) Ossicles d) Eustachian tube e) Semicircular canals f) Auditory nerve
g) Cochlea h) Pinna.
14) Eardrum.
15) When we climb up a hill, our ears feel some pain. The air pressure decreases as we go higher up the
hill. Gradually, the air pressure inside the middle ear becomes higher than the atmospheric pressure
outside. The unequal pressure on both sides of the eardrum causes the pain in the ear.

16) Semicircular canals.


17) a) Eustachian tube b) Semicircular canals.
18) Sight & sensitive to light.
18) The sclera ( tough, outer layer), choroid ( black, middle layer) and retina ( innermost layer of the eye ).
19) a) Sclera Protects and maintains the shape of the eyeball.
b) Iris Controls the size of the pupil and amount of light entering the eye.
c) Pupil Controls the amount of light that enters the eye.
20) Aqueous humour & Maintains the shape of the eyeball and refracts light onto the retina.
21) Cornea, eye lens and vitreous humour.
22) a) Yellow spot b) Blind spot.
23) a) Real b) Inverted c) Smaller or Diminished.
24) The reflection of light is the change in direction of a light ray when it hits a surface of an opaque
object and bounces off the object.
25) Regular reflection happens when a parallel beam of light remains parallel after reflection from an even
surface.
26) a) Convex mirror ( placed at a bend on the road ) b) Periscope c) Dentists mirror d) Optical fibre or
Periscope.
27) A convex mirror is placed at a bend on the road so that drivers can see cars approaching on other
side of the bend.
28) Refraction of light.
29) The light from the bottom of the pond is refracted away from the normal. This happens when light
emerges from the water into the air. The refracted light enters the eye of the observer. The observer
sees an image of the bottom of the bond somewhere above the real bottom of the pond. He assumes
the image to be actual bottom of the pond. The reason for this optical illusion is that the brain
assumes light moves in a straight path.
30) When light from the straw travels from the water to the air, light is refracted away from the normal.
This light enters the eye of the observer. The observer sees the image of the straw somewhere above
the bottom of the glass. This makes the straw appear bent.

31) a) Short sightedness b) Long sightedness.


32) Caused by the lens condition and the shape of the eyeball.
33) a) Short sightedness b) Long sightedness.
34) a) Too thick b) Too long.
35) convex lens.
36) Diverges light rays before they enter the eyes to form a sharp image.
37) a) Magnifying glass b) Telescope c) Binoculars d) Camera.
38) Irregular curvature ( irregular surface ) of the cornea or lens.
39) Blurred ( hazy ) vision.
40) Wearing glasses with cylindrical lenses.
41) Presbyopia by using bifocal lenses.
42) Old age.
43) a) We cannot see objects that are very tiny, such as bacteria, viruses and atoms with our naked eye.
b) We also cannot see the stars and planets that are very far from Earth.
44) Contact lenses.
45) Laser surgery.
46) Cornea transplants
47) a) Cannot interpret accurately the information sent by the receptors in the eye. b) Optical illusions.
48)
