Case Study Based Questions

1. Obesity is an abnormal increase in body fat which can lead to various other
related health issues like heart problems, blood pressure, hypertension and
many more. Some people think of obesity as only a cosmetic and physical
concern but that is not true. Owing to the seriousness of this world wide
problem, World Obesity Day is also celebrated on 4 March every year. The
lifestyle of people is mainly responsible for this condition accompanied with
excessive intake of fat rich food, junk food and fried food items. Earlier, children
used to play in parks and playgrounds whereas now the preference has been
shifted to mobile phone and computer games. This type of lifestyle has led to
various diseases including obesity in children leading to early rise of many
above mentioned health problems.

1.What are the major causes of obesity in people?


2. Which food items should we avoid to prevent obesity?
3. How can obesity affect the health of a person?
4. What necessary changes should be done in lifestyle to avoid obesity in
growing children ?

2. The measure of solubility determines how substances dissolve into one


another. The substance dissolving into the other is the solute and the substance
being dissolved into is the solvent. When you mix salt into water the salt is the
solute and the water is the solvent. Though the salt does not dissolve into the
water immediately and if a large portion of salt is being dissolved into water,
then there will be a portion of salt left over. Nevertheless, when salt and water
do mix a new substance is formed that can have many practical uses. Solubility
is not limited to just liquids mixing with other liquids, however, solids and gases
can also mix into liquids. A solution is created when the solute's molecules form
intermolecular bonds with the solvent.

1.What do you understand by the terms solute, solvent,solubility and saturated


solution?
2. How does the solubility of the following substances in water vary with the
rise in temperature?
a) Solid
b) Liquid
3. ‘Soft drinks are packed under high pressure.’ Give reason for your
answer
4. Which of the following have higher solubility in water ?
a) Sugar
b) Salt

3. The stem of a plant helps in upward movement of water. The water and
minerals go to leaves and other plant parts attached to the stem.
The part of the leaf by which it is attached to the stem is called petiole. The
broad, green part of the leaf is called lamina.The lines on the leaf are called
Veins. A prominent line in the middle of the leaf is called the midrib. The design
made by veins in a leaf is called the leaf venation. If this design is Net-like on
both sides of midrib, the venation is reticulate. In the leaves of grass you might
have seen that the veins are parallel to one another. This is parallel venation.

Q-1 Write any 2 functions of leaves.


Q-2 How can you determine root type by seeing the leaves of a plant?
Q-3 What do you mean by the term venation? Differentiate between the two types
of venation seen in the leaves.(Give 2 example of each)
Q-4 Explain how transpiration helps the plant in conduction of water and
minerals in plants?
