Directions: In the following questions a statement of assertion is followed by a

statement of reason.
Mark the correct choice as:

Assertion.

Q.13.Assertion: Glucose is the main fuel in all cells

Reason: The cells draws glucose from the blood

OR

.Assertion: A cell membrane shows fluid behaviour.

Reason: A membrane is a mosaic or composite of diverse lipids and proteins

Q14. Assertion: Frogs undergo aestivation & hibernation

Reason: Frogs take shelter in deep burrows to protect themselves from extreme
heat & cold.

Section –D
(Q. No. 29 and 30 are case-based questions. Each question has 4 subparts with
 internal choice in one subpart.)
Q 29- A group of students conducted an experiment to investigate the effect of light
intensity on the rate of photosynthesis in Elodea plants. They placed the plants in a
beaker of water and used a lamp to provide light at varying intensities. The students
measured the number of oxygen bubbles produced per minute as an indicator of the
rate of photosynthesis.

Based on the experiment described, answer the following:

1. What is the independent variable in this experiment?
2. How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis in the Elodea plants?
3. Explain why oxygen bubbles are a useful indicator for measuring the rate of
photosynthesis.
4. Describe a potential control variable in this experiment and explain its importance.
OR
What is the relationship between carbon dioxide concentration and the rate of
photosynthesis in this experiment? How could you modify the experiment to
investigate this?

Q 30- A student conducted a study on the plant kingdom, focusing on the differences
between various plant groups: algae, bryophytes, pteridophytes, gymnosperms, and
angiosperms. During the study, the student observed the following characteristics:

1. The plants are primarily aquatic.

2. These plants lack a well-differentiated body structure and vascular tissues.

3. The plants reproduce through spore formation.

Based on the above observations, answer the following questions:

1. Identify the plant group that the student is studying.

2. Explain the main features of this plant group.

3. What is the significance of spore formation in the life cycle of these plants?

4. How does this plant group differ from bryophytes?

OR

Explain how environmental factors might influence the growth and distribution of
this plant group in aquatic habitats

Section –E
Q 31-What are the various stages of Prophase I of Meiosis I? Enumerate the
chromosomal events during each stage?
OR
What are the various stages of mitosis? How does chromosomes appear at each
stage. Show it with the help of diagrams.
Q 32- Write any five differences between Chordates and Non chordates.
OR
What is Coelom? How are animals Classified based on Body coelom (body cavity)?
Draw
suitable diagrams.
Q 33- Study the diagram and answer the questions below.

(a) Write name of the above cycle.

(b) In which photosystem, you find O2 evolving complex?
(c) Write the name of electron source which is used to replace the lost electrons in
PS II of non-cyclic photophosphorylation.
(d) Write down two differences between cyclic and non- cyclic photophosphorylation.
OR
(a)Name the scientist who demonstrated that photosynthesis is a light dependent
reaction in which reduction of Carbon dioxide occur.
(b)What was his hypothesis?
(c)Which living organism did he use in his experiment?
(d) Draw a well labelled diagram of Calvin cycle.
