1. Particle Nature of Matter
[ refer NCERT text book activities 1.1 to 1.8 ]

(iv) Plasma (non evaluative)

A plasma is an ionized gas.
A plasma is a very good conductor of electricity and is affected by
magnetic fields.
Plasma, like gases have an indefinite shape and an indefinite
volume. Ex. Ionized gas
(v) Bose-Einstein condensate (non evaluative)

A BEC is a state of matter that can arise at very low
temperatures.
The scientists who worked with the Bose-Einstein

condensate received a Nobel Prize for their work in 1995.
The BEC is all about molecules that are really close to each
other (even closer than atoms in a solid).

Q.2 Arrange the following substances in increasing order of force of attraction between the
particles. (a) Milk (b) Salt (c) Oxygen.
Q.3 A substance has neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume . State whether it is a solid ,
a liquid or a gas.
Q.4 The melting point of a substance is below the room temperature . Predict its physical
state.
11
3.Interchange in states of matter
Matter Can Change its State
Water can exist in three states of matter
Solid, as ice ,
Liquid, as the familiar water, and
Gas, as water vapour.
Sublimation : The changing of solid directly into vapours on heating & vapours into solid on
cooling. Ex. Ammonium chloride , camphor & iodine.
a) Effect of change in temperature
The temperature effect on heating a solid varies depending on the nature of the solid
& the conditions required in bringing the change .
On increasing the temperature of solids, the kinetic energy of the particles increases
which overcomes the forces of attraction between the particles thereby solid melts
and is converted to a liquid.
The temperature at which a solid melts to become a liquid at the atmospheric
pressure is called its melting point.
The melting point of ice is 273.16 K.
The process of melting, that is, change of solid state into liquid state is also known as
fusion.
b) Effect of Change of Pressure
Increasing or decreasing the pressure can change the state of matter. Applying
pressure and reducing temperature can liquefy gases.
Solid carbon dioxide (CO2) is stored under high pressure. Solid CO2 gets converted
directly to gaseous state on decrease of pressure to 1 atmosphere without coming
into liquid state. This is the reason that solid carbon dioxide is also known as dry ice.
Latent Heat :
The hidden heat which breaks the force of attraction between the molecules during
change of state.
12
Fusion Vaporisation
Heat energy required to change Heat energy required to change 1kg of
1kg of solid into liquid. liquid to gas at atmospheric pressure at
its boiling point.
Thus, we can say that pressure and temperature determine the state of a substance ,
whether it will be solid, liquid or gas.
[ refer fig. 1.9 NCERT Text Book , page-8 ]
Q.1 What is vapour ?
Q.2 Name the temperature at which the solid and liquid states of substance can exist
together .
Q.3 What is the effect of pressure on boiling point?
Q.4 Name any two substances which sublime.
Q.5 Define Condensation.
Q.6 For any substance, why does the temperature remain constant during the
change of state?
4. Evaporation & Boiling
Particles of matter are always moving and are never at rest.

At a given temperature in any gas, liquid or solid, there are particles with different
amounts of kinetic energy.
In the case of liquids, a small fraction of particles at the surface, having higher
kinetic energy, is able to break away from the forces of attraction of other
particles and gets converted into vapour .
This phenomenon of change of a liquid into vapours at any temperature below its
boiling point is called evaporation.
Factors Affecting Evaporation
The rate of evaporation increases with an increase of surface area.
With the increase of temperature, more number of particles get enough kinetic energy
to go into the vapour state.
Humidity is the amount of water vapour present in air. The air around us cannot hold
more than a definite amount of water vapour at a given temperature. If the amount
of water in air is already high, the rate of evaporation decreases.
Wind speed : the higher the wind speed , the more evaporation.
13
Evaporation cause cooling.
The particles of liquid absorb energy from the surrounding to regain the energy lost
during evaporation,
Evaporation Vs Boiling
Boiling is a bulk phenomenon. Particles from the bulk (whole) of the liquid change
into vapour state.
Evaporation is a surface phenomenon. Particles from the surface gain enough
energy to overcome the forces of attraction present in the liquid and change into the
vapour state.
Q.1 Which is the slow process , Evaporation or Boiling ?

Q.2 State the effect of surface area on rate of evaporation.
Q.3 Why are we able to sip hot tea faster from saucer rather than from a cup?
5. Kelvin & Celsius Scale
Kelvin is the SI unit of temperature, 00 C =273.16 K. we take 00 C = 273 K.

SI unit of temperature is Kelvin. T (K)= T (oC) +273
Kelvin scale of temperature has always positive sign , hence regarded as better scale
than Celsius.
Atmosphere (atm) is a unit of measuring pressure exerted by a gas. The SI unit of
pressure is Pascal (Pa):
1 atmosphere = 1.01 (10 to the power 5) Pa. The pressure of air in atmosphere is called
atmospheric pressure. The atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1 atmosphere, and is
taken as the normal atmospheric pressure.
Q.1 What is the SI unit of temperature?

Q.2 Kelvin scale of temperature is regarded as better scale than Celsius. Why?
Q.3 Convert 10oC into Kelvin scale.

1.Laws of Chemical Combination
Law of Conservation of mass: Law of definite proportion:

proposed by the French chemist proposed by Louis Proust
Antoine Lavoisier (1774) (1799)
Mass can neither be 'A chemical compound

created nor destroyed in a always consists of the
chemical reaction. same elements combined
OR together in the same ratio,
For any chemical process in
a closed system, the mass irrespective of the method
of the reactants must be of preparation or the
equal the mass of the source from where it is
products. taken'.
C + O2 = CO2 One molecule of a compound

water always contains same ratio
12g +32g = 44g of Hydrogen and Oxygen by mass
i.e.
H2O = 2 : 16 = 1 : 8
Verification of Law of Conservation of mass

A solution of sodium chloride and silver nitrate are taken separately in the two limbs
of an 'H' shaped tube. The tube is sealed and weighed precisely. The two reactants
are made to react by inverting the tube. The following reaction takes place.
AgNO3(aq) + NaCl (aq) AgCl (s) + NaNO3 (aq)
The whole tube is kept undisturbed for sometime so that the reaction is complete.
When the tube is weighed again it is observed that:
Weight before the reaction = Weight after the reaction
Limitation of Law of definite proportion
This law does not hold good when the compound is obtained by using different
isotopes of the combining elements .
Q.1 Why chemical reactions are in accordance with the Law of conservation of mass?
Q.2 Calculate the ratio of atoms present in 5 g of magnesium and 5 g of iron.

existence at that time. However, he assumed that the simplest compound of two elements
must be binary.
Q.1 In what respect does Daltons Atomic theory hold good even today?
Q.2 Which of the following is not the postulate of Daltons Atomic theory of matter ?
a) Each element is made up of extremely small particles called atoms.
b) Atoms of a given element are identical in chemical properties but have different
physical properties.
c) Atoms cannot be created nor destroyed.
d) Compounds are formed by the chemical union of atoms of two or more elements in
fixed proportion .

3. HCl 36.5 u 36.5 g 6.022 x 1023 molecules 36.5 g mol -1
GRAM MOLECULAR MASS

Gram molecular mass is the mass in grams of one mole of a molecular substance.
Ex: The molecular mass of N2 is 28, so the gram molecular mass of N2 is 28 g.
ATOMIC MASS UNIT

An atomic mass unit or amu is one twelfth of the mass of an unbound atom of carbon-12. It
is a unit of mass used to express atomic masses and molecular masses.
Also Known As: Unified Atomic Mass Unit (u).
31
MOLECULAR MASS : A number equal to the sum of the atomic masses of the atoms in a
molecule. The molecular mass gives the mass of a molecule relative to that of the 12C atom,
which is taken to have a mass of 12.
Examples: The molecular mass of C2H6 is approximately 30 or [(2 x 12) + (6 x 1)] . Therefore
the molecule is about 2.5 times as heavy as the 12C atom or about the same mass as the NO
atom with a molecular mass of 30 or (14+16) .

SURVEY ANALYSIS

Contribution to the Atomic theory Timeline
SCIENTIST PROPOSED MODEL OF ATOM
Democritus
Greek philosopher
(400 B.C)
More than 2400 years ago, he named the smallest piece of matter ATOMOS ,
meaning not to be cut.
To Democritus,
Atoms were small, hard particles that were all made of the same material but were
different shapes and sizes.
Atoms were infinite in number, always moving and capable of joining together
1. Daltons Atomic theory:
SCIENTIST PROPOSED ATOMIC MODEL
John Dalton
He proposed the Atomic theory of

English Chemist matter based on his experimental
[proposed atomic theory in 1803] observations.
38
First recorded evidence that atoms existed.
Using his theory, Dalton rationalized the various laws of chemical combination
Dalton's theory was based on the premise that the atoms of different elements could be
distinguished by differences in their weights.
Limitations
o The indivisibility of an atom was proved wrong , for, an atom can be further
subdivided into protons, neutrons and electrons.
o The atoms of same element are similar in all respects , but isotopes of same
element have different mass.
o Dalton's theory was based on the premise that the atoms of different
elements could be distinguished by differences in their weights.
2. J J Thomson Experiments:
Joseph John Thomson

British Physicist and Nobel laureate PLUM PUDDING MODEL
Discovered electrons in 1897.

Showed us that the atom can be split into even smaller parts.
His discovery was the first step towards a detailed model of the atom .
An atom is a uniform sphere of positive charges (due to presence of protons) as well
as negative charges (due to presence of electrons).
Atom as a whole is electrically neutral because the negative and positive charges are
equal in magnitude.
39
An electron is a negatively charged component of an atom which exists outside the
nucleus. Each electron carries one unit of negative charge and has a very small
mass as compared with that of a neutron or proton.
JJ Thomson used cathode ray tubes to demonstrate that the cathode ray responds to both
magnetic and electric fields.
Since the ray was attracted to a positive electric plate placed over the cathode ray tube
(beam deflected toward the positive plate) he determined that the ray must be composed of
negatively charged particles.
He called these negative particles "electrons."
Limitation: Model failed to explain how protons and electrons were arranged in atom so
close to each other.
Eugene Goldstein:

Eugene Goldstein
a German physicist
40
E. Goldstein in 1886 discovered the presence of new radiations in a gas discharge and
called them canal rays. These rays were positively charged radiations which ultimately
led to the discovery of another sub-atomic particle.
Used a Cathode Ray Tube to study "canal rays" which had electrical and magnetic
properties opposite of an electron
Canal Rays: The positively charged radiation produced in the discharge tube at low
pressure and high voltage are called canal rays.
Protons:
The canal rays have positively charged sub-atomic, particles known as protons (p).
Q.1 What was the model of an atom proposed by Thomson?

Q.2 What is the nature of charge on electrons?
Q.3 What are canal rays ?
Q.4 State the nature of the constituents of canal rays.
3. Rutherfords Scattering Experiments:
Sir Earnest Rutherford
Nobel prize 1908
41
Experiment: Rutherford took a thin gold foil and made alpha particles , [ He 2+ ] positively
charged Helium fall on it.
S.No OBSERVATION INFERENCE

1. Most of the a-particles passed through Most of the space inside the atom is
the gold foil without getting deflected. empty.
2. Very few particles were deflected. Positive charge of the atom occupies
very little space.
3. A very few alpha particles, 1 in 100000 Nucleus of an atom is very small as
completely rebound on hitting the gold compared to the total size.
foil.
Alpha particle
Limitation: In Rutherfords atomic model , Nucleus & electrons are held together by
electrostatic force of attraction which would lead to the fusion between them. This
does not happen in the atom.
Atomic radius ~ 100 pm = 1 x 10-10 m
Nuclear radius ~ 5 x 10-3 pm = 5 x 10-15 m
42
James Chadwick
English Physicist & Nobel

laureate
In 1932, James Chadwick proved that the atomic nucleus contained a neutral particle
which had been proposed more than a decade earlier by Ernest Rutherford officially
discovered the neutron in 1932,
Chadwick received the Nobel Prize in 1935.
A neutron is a subatomic particle contained in the atomic nucleus. It has no net electric
charge, unlike the proton's positive electric charge.
Q.1 Who discovered the nucleus of the atom?

Q.2 What is the charge on alpha particles ?
Q.3 Which observation of Rutherfords scattering experiment established the presence

Electron E Around the nucleus 1- 1/1840 9.11 x 10 -28
Proton P In the nucleus 1+ 1 1.67 x 10 -24
Neutron n In the nucleus 0 1 1.67 x 10 -24
Protons & Neutrons collectively are known as NUCLEONS.
Q.1 Why is the relative mass of an electron is taken as negligible ?

Q.2 Give the actual masses of electron & proton in kg?
Q.3 What are nucleons?
5.Atomic Number & Mass Number:
Atomic number of an element is defined as the number of unit positive charges on the
nucleus (nuclear charge) of the atom of that element or as the number of protons present
in the nucleus.
Atomic number, Z = Number of unit positive charge on the nucleus

= Total number of unit positive charges carried by all protons present in the nucleus.
= Number of protons in the nucleus (p)
= Number of electrons revolving in the orbits (e)
Eg :- Hydrogen Atomic number = 1 (1 proton)
Helium - Atomic number = 2 (2 protons)
Mass number[ A] : It is defined as the sum of the number of protons & neutrons present in
the nucleus of an atom.
Mass Number = Mass of protons + Mass of neutrons
Eg :- Carbon Mass number = 12 (6 protons + 6 neutrons) Mass = 12u
Aluminium Mass number = 27 (13 protons + 14 neutrons) Mass = 27u

Chapter 5: The Fundamental Unit of Life
CONCEPTS RATING
Study of historical perceptive related to cell *****
discovery
Study of Microscope **
Study of Hypotonic/Isotonic/ ****
Hypertonic solutions relation to osmosis.
Cell wall ***
Nucleus *****
Cytoplasm ***
Cell organelles *****
1. All the living organisms are made up of fundamental unit of life called cell.
2. The cell is a Latin word for a little room.
3. The scientist Robert Hooke saw a little room in the cork (the bark of a tree)
resembled the structure of a honeycomb. The use of the word Cell to describe
these units is used till this day in Biology as Cell Biology.
4. The Compound Microscope consist eye piece,objective lens and condenser to
observe a cell after putting a drop of Safranin (for plant cell) and methylene blue (for
animal cell). ( Please refer to Fig. 5.1: Compound Microscope NCERT Book Page-57)
5. The scientist Leeuwenhoek saw free living cells in the pond water for the first time. (
father of microbiology)
6. The scientist Robert Brown discovered the nucleus in the cell.
7. The cell theory states that all the plants and animals are composed of cells, it was
proposed by Schleiden and Schwann.
8. The cell theory was further expanded by Virchow by suggesting that all cells arise
from the pre-existing cells.
9. The cells differ in size, shape, structure (Please refer to Fig. 5.2/5.3: Onion
peel/Various cells in Human body, NCERT Book Page-57/58):Types of cells: Onion
cells, Smooth muscle cell, Blood cells, Bone cell, Fat cell, Nerve cell, Ovum, Sperm
etc. Each kind of cell performs specific function.
58
10. A single cell may constitute a whole organism as in Amoeba, Chlamydomonas,
Paramecium and Bacteria; these are called as unicellular organisms. Whereas in
multi-cellular organisms (Human beings) division of labor is seen.
11. The feature in almost every cell is same: Plasma membrane, nucleus and
cytoplasm.
12. Plasma membrane: It is the outermost covering of the cell.
- It is called as selective permeable membrane (because it prevents
movement of some materials).
- It helps in diffusion and osmosis
- Diffusion: movement of substance from high concentration to low
concentration.
Eg; exchange of carbon dioxide or oxygen with external environment.
osmosis: it is the passage of water from the region of high water concentration to a region
of low water concentration through a selective permeable membrane.
a) The cell gains water, if the medium surrounding the cell has a higher water
concentration (Hypotonic solution) than the cell.
b) The cell maintains the same water concentration as the cell (Isotonic solution),
water crosses the cell membrane in both directions.
59
c)The cell loses water, if the medium has lower water concentration (Hypertonic
solution) than the cell.
Note - The cell drinking is endosmosis;
- omission of water is called ex-osmosis.
13. The cell engulfs food is called endocytosis and ejects solid is called exocytosis.
Amoeba acquires food through endocytosis and excretion of solid is called
exocytosis.
14. The cell wall is a rigid outer covering composed of cellulose. It provides structural
strength to plant cells. When a living cell loses water, there is shrinkage of contents
of a cell away from the cell wall. This phenomenon is called as plasmolysis. The cell
walls permit the cells of plants, fungi and bacteria to withstand very dilute
(Hypotonic) external media without bursting.
15. The Nucleus: It is a dark colored, spherical or oval, dot-like structure near the center
of a cell called Nucleus. The nucleus plays a central role in cellular activities/
reproduction. The chromatin material gets organized into chromosomes. The
chromosomes contain information for inheritance of features from parents to next
generations in the form of DNA( Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid ) and protein molecules. The
functional segments of DNA are called genes.
16. In some organisms like Bacteria nucleus is not covered by nuclear membrane. Hence
it is called as prokaryote. (Pro= primitive; karyote = karyon = nucleus.) The organisms
with cells having a nuclear membrane are called eukaryotes.
17. Differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes( Please refer to Fig. 5.4:
Prokaryotic cell NCERT Book Page-62)
Prokaryotes Eukaryotes
Size: generally small (1-10 m) Size: generally large. (5-500 m)
60
Nuclear region: Not well defined Nuclear region: Well defined and
and not surrounded by a nuclear surrounded by a nuclear membrane
membrane & known as nucleoids.
Chromosome: Single Chromosome: More than one

chromosome
Membrane-bound cell organelles Membrane-bound cell organelles

absent present
Eg- bacteria, blue green algae Eg fungi, plant cell and animal cell.
18. Cell organelles: Every cell has fluid matrix (other than nucleus) is called cytoplasm.
The nucleus and cytoplasm is together called as protoplasm. The protoplasm term
was coined by Purkinje. It has important cell organelles: Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER),
Golgi apparatus, Lysosomes, Mitochondria, Plastids, and vacuoles.
19. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): It is a large network of membrane bound tubules and
vesicles.
- There are two types of Endoplasmic Reticulum

- Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) (It looks rough because Ribosomes are
attached to its surface. They are the sites of protein synthesis).
- Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) (It looks smooth because Ribosomes
are not attached to its surface. They are the sites of fat molecules synthesis).
1. SER ; help in the functioning of enzymes and hormones to carryout

biochemical activities.
2. SER detoxifies many poisons and drugs from the cell.
2. ER serves as channel for the transport of material between various regions of
the cytoplasm and the nucleus.
3. Proteins and fat molecules produced by ER helps in membrane biogenesis.
20. Golgi apparatus: It was first described by a scientist Camillo Golgi. It is a system of
membrane bound vesicles called cisterns. It functions include the storage,
61
modification and package of cell products. The complex sugars are made from simple
sugars in the Golgi apparatus. It is also involved in the formation of lysosomes.
21. Lysosomes: They contain membrane-bound sacs with powerful digestive enzymes
(enzymes are made by RER) to digest the worn-out cell organelles. When the cell
gets damaged, lysosomes may burst and the enzymes digest their own cell, hence
called as Suicidal bags of a cell. It is a waste disposal system of the cell.
22. Mitochondria: It is covered by a double membrane. Outer membrane is very porous
and the inner membrane is deeply folded. These folds create a large surface area for
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) molecule synthesis. ATP is the energy currency of a
cell; hence the Mitochondria are called as Power House of a Cell. Mitochondria have
their own DNA and Ribosomes; therefore they can make their own proteins.
23. Plastids: They are present only in plant cells. They are two types.
1. Chromoplasts (Colored Plastids: Chloroplasts Green pigmented and
useful in Photosynthesis and also contains various other pigments like
yellow or orange)
2. Leucoplasts (White or colorless plastids; stores materials such as oils,
proteins, fats etc. ) Plastids are also covered by a double membrane.
The matrix is called Stroma, seat for enzymatic actions. Plastids have
their own DNA and Ribosomes; therefore they can make their own
proteins.
24. Vacuoles: Storage sacs for solid or liquid contents. They are small in size in animals
while plants have large, may occupy 50-90 % of the cell volume. Helps to provide
turgidity and rigidity to the cell. Many substances like amino acids, sugars, organic
acids and proteins are stored in vacuoles. In Amoeba food vacuole is specialized to
play an important role.
25. Cell: It is the fundamental structural unit of living organisms, helps in respiration,
obtaining nutrition and clearing waste material or forming a new protein.

Chapter 6: Tissues

CONCEPTS RATING
Meristems in plants **
Permanent tissues in plants ****
Animal tissues *****
1. Tissue is a group of cells having similar origin, structure& function. Study of tissues is
called Histology
2. In unicellular organism (Amoeba) single cell performs all basic functions, whereas in
multi-cellular organisms (Plants and Animals) shows division of labor as Plant tissue
& Animal tissues.
3. Plant tissues are two types: Meristems & Permanent tissues.
4. Meristems: The Meristems are the tissues having the power of cell division. It is
found on those region of the plant which grows.
5. Types of Meristems;
1. The Apical meristems It is present at the growing tip of the stem

and roots and increases the length.
2. The lateral meristems - present at the lateral side of stem anf root
(cambium) and increases the girth.
3. The intercalary meristems - present at internodes or base of the
leaves and increases the length between the nodes.
( Please refer to Fig. 6.2: location of meristems in plant body , NCERT Book Page- 69).
26. Permanent tissues: Two types such as Simple permanent tissues & Complex
permanent tissues.
a) Simple permanent tissues: subdivided as

(i): Parenchyma: Tissues provide the support to plants.They are loosly packed and has
large intracellular space.
65
- Parenchyma with chlorophyll which performs photosynthesis is
called as chlorenchyma.
- The parenchyma with large air spaces to give buoyancy is
called as aerenchyma .Parenchyma also stores food and water.
(ii) Collenchyma: Tissue provides mechanical support, thickened at the corners, have
very little intercellular space. It allows easy bending of various parts of a plants without
breaking
(iii) Sclerenchyma: Tissue makes the plant hard and stiff, thickened due to lignin and
no intercellular space. Cells of this tissue are dead and commonly seen in the husk of
coconut.
(iv) Guard cells& Epidermal tissue: the tissue aids in protection and exchange of
gases. Guard cells kidney shaped in dicots, dumb bell shaped in monocots to guard the
stomata. The epidermal tissues of roots aid in absorption of water and minerals. The
epidermal tissues in desert plants have a thick waxy coating of Cutin with waterproof
quality. The epidermal tissues form the several layer thick Cork or the Bark of the tree.
(Please refer to Fig. 6.3- 6.6, NCERT Book Page-70-73).
b) Complex permanent tissues: The complex tissues are made of more than one type
of cells. All these cells coordinate to perform a common function.
They are subdivided as;
Xylem: It consists of tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma and xylem fibers. The cells have
thick walls,
Function - aids in conduction of water and minerals.
Phloem: It consists of sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem parenchyma, and phloem fibers.
Function - Phloem transports food material to other parts of the plants.
(Please refer to Fig. 6.7, NCERT Book Page-73).
6. Animal tissues: Sub divided as epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscular tissue
and nervous tissue.
i. Epithelial tissue: It is a protective covering forming a continuous sheet. Simple

epithelium is the one which is extremely thin in one layer, whereas stratified
epithelium are arranged in pattern of layers.
66
Depending on shape and function they are classified as:
a) Squamous epithelium in the lining of mouth and esophagus.

b) Cuboidal epithelium in the lining of kidney tubules and salivary glands.
c) Columnar epithelium in the intestine &Columnar epithelium with cilia in the
lining of respiratory tract.
d) Glandular epithelium in the Glands aids in a special function as gland cells,
which can secrete at the epithelial surface.
(Please refer to Fig. 6.9, NCERT Book Page-75).
ii) Connective Tissue: Five Types, such as;
a) Blood: The Blood is a fluid connective tissue. Blood plasma has RBCs (Red Blood
Cells) WBCs (White Blood Cells) and platelets. Blood plasma contains proteins, salts and
hormones. Blood flows and transports gases, digested food, hormones and waste materials.
b) Bone: The bone is a connective tissue with hard matrix, composed of calcium
and phosphorus. A bone is connected by another bone with another connective tissue called
ligaments. A bone is connected by muscle with another connective tissue called tendon.
c) Cartilage: The cartilage is a connective tissue with solid matrix composed of
proteins and sugars. It is commonly seen in nose, ear, trachea, and larynx.
d) Areolar Connective Tissue: It is found between the skin and muscles, around
the blood vessels. It supports internal organs and aids in repair of tissues.
e)Adipose Connective Tissue: It is filled with fat globules for the storage of fat.
It acts as insulator. (Please refer to Fig. 6.10, NCERT Book Page-76).
Muscular tissues: They have special contractile proteins responsible for movements. Three
types, such as;
Striated muscles/skeletal muscles/voluntary muscles :
They are cylindrical, un-branched and multinucleated.They have dark bands and light bands.
Unstriated muscles/smooth muscles/involuntary muscles:
They are commonly called as Smooth muscles, having no striations (dark bands/ light bands
are absent). Commonly found alimentary canal, uterus, Iris of an Eye. They are spindle
shaped. Involuntary in nature
Cardiac Muscles: They are commonly called as Heart muscles, cylindrical,
67
branched and uni-nucleate. Involuntary in nature.(Please refer to Fig. 6.11, NCERT Book
Page-77).
Nervous Tissue: The tissue responds to stimuli. The brain, spinal cord and nerves are
composed of nervous tissue or neurons. A neuron consists of Cell Body, cytoplasm, Nucleus,
Dendrite, Axon, nerve ending. The neuron impulse allow us to move our muscles when we
want to respond to stimuli. (Please refer to Fig. 6.12, NCERT Book Page-78).

Chapter 7: Diversity in Living Organisms

CONCEPTS RATING
Basis of classification ***
Hierarchy of classification ****
Kingdom Plantae *****
Kingdom Animalia *****
1. Each organism is different from all other organisms.

2. In this activity, we decide which characteristics (we can run, but the Banyan tree
cant run is a characteristic) are important in forming the desired category.
3. Greek thinker Aristotle classified animals according to whether they lived on land,
in water or in air. This classification is a landmark in ideology, but has limitations. For
example, animals that live in the sea include Corals, Whales, Octopus, Starfish, and
Shark. In fact they are different from each other.
4. Classification and Evolution: organisms are classified based on body design,
hierarchy in developing, relation to evolution. Charles Darwin first described the
idea of evolution in 1859 in his book The Origin of Species
5. The Biologists, such as Haeckel, Whittaker & Carl Woese tried to classify all living
organisms into broad Kingdoms. The Whittaker proposed five kingdoms: Monera,
Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia. Carl Woese introduced by dividing Monera
into Archaebacteria and Eubacteria.
70
6. Hierarchy of Classification :
7. Monera: They have unicellular, Prokaryotic organisms (do not have defined nucleus
or organelles). The cell wall may or may not present. The mode of nutrition is
autotrophic (synthesizing food on their own) (or)heterotrophic (getting food from
environment). Ex. Bacteria, Anabaena. ( (Please refer to Fig. 7.1 Monera NCERT Book
Page-83)
8. Protista: They have unicellular eukaryotic organisms (do have well defined nucleus
or organelles). The body is covered by cilia, flagella for locomotion. The mode of
nutrition is autotrophicorheterotrophic. Ex. Diatoms, protozoans.(Please refer to
Fig. 7.2 NCERT Book Page-84)
71
9. Fungi: These are multi-cellular eukaryotic organisms with cell wall, made up of
Chitin. They do not perform Photosynthesis (heterotrophic), Saprophytic (derive
nutrition from decaying material). Ex. Aspergillus, Penicillium, Mushroom, Rhizopus.
The fungi living with algae forms Lichen (Symbiotic Association) .(Please refer to Fig.
7.3 NCERT Book Page-84).
10. Plantae: These are multi-cellular eukaryotic organisms with cell wall, made up of
Cellulose. Able to perform photosynthesis (autotrophic). Ex. Rice, wheat.
11. Animalia: These are multi-cellular eukaryotic organisms without cell wall. They are
not able to perform photosynthesis (heterotrophic). Ex Human beings, Peacock.
(Please refer to Fig. 7.4 NCERT Book Page-85).
DETAILS OF KINGDOM PLANTAE
1. The kingdom Plantae is further classified as Thallophyta, Bryophyta, Pteridophyta,

Gymnosperms, Angiosperms .
2.Thallophyta: The plants do not have well defined body design, commonly called as
Algae, mostly aquatic. Ex. Spirogyra, Ulothrix. (Please refer to Fig. 7.5 NCERT Book Page-
86).
3. Bryophyta: These are commonly called as the Amphibians of Kingdom. The plant body
is differentiated into roots like, stem like and leaf like structures. No specialized tissues for
the conduction of water and food.Ex. Marchantia, Funaria. (Please refer to Fig. 7.6 NCERT
Book Page-86).
4.Pteridophyta: These are commonly called as the First vascular land plants . The plant
body is differentiated into root, stem and leaf. Specialized tissues for the conduction of
water and food are developed in these plants. The reproductive organs are inconspicuous.
Ex. Marsilea, Fern. (Please refer to Fig. 7.7 NCERT Book Page-87).
Special Note: The reproductive organs are inconspicuous in Thallophyta, Bryophyta,

Pteridophyta are cant develop seeds. They are together called as Cryptogamae (Non-
Flowering Plants). The plants with well differentiated reproductive organs and that
72
ultimately make seeds are called Phanerogams (Flowering Plants). This group is further
classified Gymnosperms (Bear naked Seeds) &Angiosperms (Bears seeds inside Fruit).
5. Gymnosperms: These are commonly called as Naked seed bearing plants. They
areusually perennial, evergreen and woody. Ex. Pinus, Cycas (Please refer to Fig. 7.8 NCERT
Book Page-87).
6. Angiosperms: These are commonly called as Enclosed seed bearing plants. Plants with
seeds having a single cotyledon are called as Monocotyledons or Monocots. Plants with
seeds having two cotyledons are called as Dicots. Ex. Ipomoea, Paphiopedium.
(Please refer to Fig 7.9 &. 7.10 NCERT Book Page-87 ;Fig. 7.11 Page-88).
DETAILS OF KINGDOM ANIMALIA
These are Eukaryote, multicultural and hetero-tropic.
They are further classified as Non- Chordates( Porifera, Coelenterata, Platyhelminthes ,

DETAILS OF NOMENCLATURE
NOMENCLATURE: The system of scientific naming or nomenclature was introduced by

Carolus Linnaeus. It is unique to identify in the world. We limit ourselves to writing the
names of the Genus and Species of that particular organism. The world over, it has been
agreed that both these names will be used in Latin forms.When printed is given in italics
and when written by hand, the Genus and Species name have to be underlined separately.
Ex. Ostrich (Common name): Struthiocamelus(scientific name with two parts namely the
Genus and Species).

CONCEPTS RATING
Significance of Health **
Disease and Its causes ***
Infectious diseases *****
Principles of prevention of diseases ****
1.Health is a state of being well enough to function well physically, mentally, and socially.
2.Disease( disturbed ease) means being uncomfortable. One or more systems of the body
will change, give rise to Symptoms ( Cough, loose motions, pus formation, headache,
fever, breathlessness, vomiting, fits, unconsciousness, inflammation , swelling and general
effects - a Doctor look for the basis of symptoms). Diseases are basically two types- Acute
Disease & Chronic Disease
3. Acute Disease: The disease which lasts for only a short period of time is called Acute
Disease Ex. Common Cold.
4.Chronic Disease: The disease which lasts for long period of time is called Chronic Disease
Ex. Tuberculosis.
Acute Disease Chronic Disease
They are short duration disease They are long lasting disease
Patient recovers completely after the cure Patient does not recover completely
There is no loss of weight or feeling of tiredness There is often loss of weight of feeling of
afterward tiredness
There is short duration loss of work and There is a prolonged loss of work and efficiency
efficiency
5. Causes of Diseases : Most of the diseases have many causes, rather than one single
cause, like unclean water, nourishment, genetic differences, genetic abnormalities e.g.
Based on the causes diseases are of two types: Non-Infectious Diseases and Infectious
Diseases.
78
6. Non-Infectious Diseases: Not caused by infectious agents, mostly internal and non-
infectious cause. Ex. Cancer
7. Infectious Diseases: Caused by infectious agents.
SN Type Of Disease Example
1 Bacterial diseases - Typhoid, Cholera, Tuberculosis, Acne, Anthrax,
2 Viral diseases - Common Cold, Influenza, Dengue fever, AIDS, Japanese

encephalitis or brain fever
3 Fungal diseases Skin diseases
4 Protozoan diseases -Malaria ( Plasmodium), Kalaazar (Leishmania), Sleeping

sickness( Trypanosomes)
5 Worm diseases - Ascariosis ( Round worm), Elephantiasis(Wuchereria )
(Please refer Fig. 13.1 (a-e), NCERT Text Book Page- 181).
a)The infectious diseases spread by agents are called as Communicable Diseases.
SN Type of Disease Example
1 Air born Diseases - Pneumonia, common cold, Tuberculosis;
2 Water born diseases - Cholera, hepatitis
3 Sexual Diseases - HIV, Syphilis.
4 Animal born Disease - Rabbis.

*(Vector- the animal carrying infectious agent from a sick
person to another potential host without getting affected Ex.
Mosquito carrying Malaria Parasite).
(Please refer Fig. 13.2 & 13.3, NCERT Text Book Page- 183).
9. Principles of Treatment:
1. Antibiotics- many bacteria make a cell wall to protect themselves, the antibiotic
(Penicillin) blocks the bacterial process that builds cell wall and blocks the
biochemical pathways. Antibiotics do not work against viral infections. Antiviral
medicine is harder than making Antibacterial medicine because Virus has only few
biochemical mechanisms of their own. Other medicines bring down fever, reduce
pain or loose motions. We can take bed rest to conserve energy.
79
10 Principles of Prevention : Following three limitation are normally confronted while
treating an infectious disease:
Once someone has disease, their body functions are damaged and may never
recover completely.
Treatment will take time, which means that someone suffering from a disease is
likely to be bedridden for some time even if we can give proper treatment.
The person suffering from an infectious disease can serve as the source from where
the infection may spread to other people.
General ways of preventing infectious disease :

Air-borne We can prevent exposure by providing living condition that are not
overcrowded.
Water-borne prevent by providing safe drinking water. This is done by treating the
water to kill any microbial contamination.
Vector-borne We can provide clean environment, which would not allow mosquito
breeding.
11. Immunity: Even in cells there is repair mechanism called Immunity. Immune cells
manage to kill off the infectious agents. Smallpox disease is eliminated by developing
memory cells for particular infection by mimics the microbes, called Vaccine. The basis of
Immunization- if you had smallpox once, there was no chance of suffering from it again.
Proper nutrition is essential to maintain body immunity. There are vaccines against tetanus,
diphtheria, whooping cough, measles, polio and many other diseases.
12. Prevention of disease is better than cure. Hygiene is the basic key to maintain good
health.

Chapter 14: Natural resources
CONCEPTS RATING
Breath of air **
A wonder liquid ***
Biogeochemical cycles *****
1. The Biosphere is the life supporting zone of the earthwith three sub-zones called as
lithosphere (rock part), atmosphere (air part)and hydrosphere (water part).
Breath of air
2. Composition of Air
3.The interactions between different components of the Biosphere to maintain the balance
between the biotic and a biotic component makes Biogeochemical cycle. Ex. Water
Cycle, Nitrogen Cycle, Carbon cycle, Oxygen Cycle,
4. Role of atmosphere in climate control : atmosphere act as protective blanket for the
earth. Since atmosphere is a bad conductor of heat, it keeps the average temperature of the
earth constant. At night, it slows down the escape of heat into outer space.
5. The movement of air : the atmosphere gets heated from the radiation that is reflected
back by the land or water bodies. As a result of heating, convection currents are set up in
the air. Since land gets heated faster than water, the air over land gets heated faster than
air above water bodies.
82
6. In coastal regions, during the day, the air above the land gets heated faster and starts
rising. So a region of low pressure is created and air over sea moves into this area of low
pressure. The movement of air from one region to the other region causes Wind.
7. During the day, the direction of wind would be from the sea to the land and at night, both
land and sea starts to cool. Since water cools down slower than the land, the air above
water would be warmer than air above land, thus the direction of wind would be from the
land to the sea.
8. Air pollution : it is an undesirable change in the physical, chemical or biological

characteristics. It is caused due to an increase in the content of harmful substances
(pollutant) such as oxides of nitrogen and sulphur, etc.
9. Harmful effect of air pollution :
It affects the respiratory system causing breathing difficulties eg; bronchitis, asthma,
lung cancer, tuberculosis, etc.
Burning of fossil fuels like coal and petroleum releases oxides of nitrogen and
sulphur. Inhalation of these gases is dangerous.
Combustion of fossil fuel also increases the amount of suspended particles in air. The
presence of high levels of all these pollutants, reduce visibility in cold weather where
water also condenses out of air forming smog.
Acid rain formed from the gases like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides present in
polluted air. It causes damage to living and nonliving thing.
3. The Water Cycle:
a) The process in which water evaporates and falls on the land as rain and later flows back
into the sea via rivers is known as the Water Cycle. Water flows through rocks containing
soluble minerals, some of them get dissolved in the water. Thus the rivers carry many
nutrients from the land to sea and these are used by the marine organisms.
b) When the water vapors condense as water droplets and grow big and heavy, they fall
down in the form of rain. It ranges from 5 cm to 200 cm of rain fall in a year in our
83
country. In large parts of India, rains are mostly brought by the south-west or north-east
monsoons. Depressions in the Bay of Bengal may also cause rains in some areas.
c) Water is a wonder liquid because all cellular processes take place in a water medium;
substances are transported in a dissolved form; terrestrial forms require fresh water to
maintain the equilibrium of salts; major resource to determine the life on the earth.
d) The dissolved fertilizers (NPK fertilizers), pesticides (DDT), sewage (Disease causing
Organisms), waste from factories (Mercury) and water released from the dams can affect
the life forms on the earth. The dissolved Oxygen is being used by the animals and plants
that live in water, would adversely affect the aquatic organisms. The change in temperature
would be dangerous for the eggs and larvae of the various animals particularly susceptible
to temperature changes. It leads to water pollution.
(Please refer Fig. 14.5, NCERT Text Book Page- 197).
4. Nitrogen Cycle:
a) The nitrogen gas makes up 78% of our atmosphere. It is essential for the synthesis of
proteins, DNA, RNA, urea, alkaloids and Vitamins.
b) The simple molecular nitrogen from the atmosphere is converted into more complex
molecules in the living beings and back again to atmosphere is called Nitrogen Cycle.
i) Nitrogen fixation by Lightening: During lightning, the molecular nitrogen is converted into
oxides of nitrogen and dissolves in water to give nitric and nitrous acids and fall on lands
along with rains. These are then utilized by various life forms.
ii) Nitrogen fixation by Bacteria: The molecular nitrogen is converted into nitrates and
nitrites, by free living bacteria or the bacteria present in the root nodules of legumes.
iii) The conversion of molecular nitrogen into nitrates and nitrites is called as Nitrification.
Plants generally covert them into amino acids. The conversion of nitrates and nitrates into
Ammonia is called as Ammonification. The conversion of Ammonia into molecular
Nitrogen is called as Denitrification. Thereby nitrates and nitrites are converted into
84
molecular or elemental nitrogen in the nature. (Please refer Fig. 14.6, NCERT Text Book
Page- 198).
5. The Carbon cycle:
i) The Carbon dioxide gas makes up 0.039 % of our atmosphere. Carbon occurs in the
elemental form as diamonds and graphite in earth. Carbon is essential for the synthesis of
proteins, carbohydrates, fats, nucleic acids and Vitamins in living organisms.
ii) The Carbon dioxide Fixation: Green plants convert Carbon dioxide into glucose in the
presence of sunlight through Photosynthesis. The glucose molecules are converted into
other biologically important molecules. And many marine animals use carbonates dissolved
in sea water to make shells, exoskeletons.
iii) The combustion: The Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is added by the process of
combustion, where fuels are burnt to provide energy for various needs like heating, cooking,
transportation, and industrial process.
iv) The Greenhouse Effect: The percentage of Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is said to
have doubled since the industrial revolution when human beings stated burning fossil fuels
on a very large scale. The Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. The increase in the Carbon
dioxide content would cause more heat to be retained by the atmosphere and lead to
Global Warming. It is called Greenhouse Effect
v) The carbon cycle is repeated through different physical and biological activities. (Please
refer Fig. 14.7, NCERT Text Book Page- 199).
6 .Oxygen Cycle:
i) The Oxygen gas makes up 21 % of our atmosphere. Oxygen is essential component of

proteins, carbohydrates, fats, nucleic acids in living organisms.
ii) Oxygen from our atmosphere is used up in three processes, namely combustion,
respiration and in the formation of oxides of nitrogen. Oxygen is returned to the
atmosphere in only one major process, that is, Photosynthesis, it is called as Oxygen Cycle.
85
iii) The air is heated faster than water; the air over land would also be heated faster than
the air over water bodies. The movement of air from one region to the other creates winds,
during the day the direction of the wind would be from the sea to land. At night, both land
and sea start to cool.
iv) The oxides of nitrogen and sulphur gases dissolve in rain to gives rise to Acid rains. The
smog is a visible indication of Air Pollution. The pollutants bring respiratory, cardiac
problems and allergies. The organisms called Lichens are found on the bark of trees, they
are indicators of pollution free environment. Three atoms of Oxygen ( O3) is called as Ozone.
The Ozone is poisonous but absorbs harmful radiations from the Sun. The Ozone layer
around the earth, if, dwindles further may cause Health hazards including Cancers . Recently
discovered the Ozone hole; in the region of Antarctica. (Please refer Fig. 14.8 & 14.9,

1. Food Resources: Cereals (Wheat, rice, maize, millets and sorghum) provide us
carbohydrates; Pulses (Grams, pea and lentil) provide us proteins; Oil seeds (Soya bean,
ground nut, sesame, and castor) provide us fats; Vegetables, spices and fruits provide us a
range of minerals, nucleic acids and vitamins. In addition to these food crops, fodder crops
like berseem, oats or sudan grass are raised as food for the livestock are called as fodder
crops.
2. The Kharif crops: The crops grown in rainy season are called as Kharif crops (Paddy, Soya
bean, pigeon pea and maize). They are grown from June to October.
3. The Rabi crops: The crops grown in winter season are called Rabi crops (Wheat, gram,
peas, and mustard). They are grown November to April.

1 Motion (Uniform Motion And Non Uniform Motion, Acceleration and Velocity)
A particle is a point-like object, has mass but infinitesimal size
The objects position is its location with respect to a chosen reference point, In
the diagram, the road sign the reference point
Motion occurs when an object changes its position.
Both Distance and Time are important in describing motion.
Sometimes you know motion has occurred even if you didnt see it happen.
(mail truck)
Relative motion: when two objects are moving in a plane (either in same
direction or opposite) each have relative motion with respect to second. e.g. a
person sitting in a train and watching a tree, in this case tree is stable but is
assumed to be moving but with respect to train.
Distance vs. Displacement
Distance: How far an object has moved. It has only magnitude without
direction. (total)
Displacement: How far and in what direction an object has moved from its
start position. i.e. the direct distance between two points.
Speed
Speed = the distance an object travels in a given amount of time
Speed =
sI unit of speed is m/s
96
Types of Speed
Constant speed: speed doesnt change (set your car on cruise control)
Changing speed: Riding a bike for 5 km. Take off and increase speed, slow
down up hill, speed up down hill, stop for stop sign. The trip took you 15 min
(.25 h)
Average speed:
Instantaneous speed: speed at any given time.

Velocity
Velocity: includes speed and DIRECTION
Storm is moving at 20km/hr.
Should you be seeking shelter?
Suppose two trains are going with the same speed in opposite direction so
they are having different velocities.
Race car going around an oval track might have constant speed, but
different velocities at each point.
Acceleration
Any change in velocity over a period of time is called acceleration.
The sign (+ or -) of indicates its direction. + sign shows the acceleration and
sign shows de-acceleration.
Uniform (constant) acceleration equation
a = v/t
97
Images of car are equally spaced.
The car is moving with constant positive velocity (shown by red arrows
maintaining the same size) .
The acceleration equals to zero
Images of car become farther apart as time increases

Velocity and acceleration are in the same direction
Acceleration is uniform (Arrows below the car maintain the same length)
Velocity is increasing (Arrows above the car are getting longer)
This shows positive acceleration and positive velocity
The instant speed at points of equal elevations is the same.

The velocities are different because they are in opposite
Free Fall & Air Resistance
98
Galileo Galilei Italian physicist and astronomer
Formulated laws of motion for objects in free fall

A freely falling object is any object moving freely under the influence of gravity
alone.
It does not depend upon the initial motion of the object
Dropped released from rest
Thrown downward
Thrown upward
The acceleration of an object in free fall is directed downward, regardless of the
initial motion
The magnitude of free fall acceleration (gravitational acceleration) is g = 9.80
m/s2
g decreases with increasing altitude
g varies with latitude, height and depth from earth surface.
9.80 m/s2 is the average at the Earths surface
The italicized g will be used for the acceleration due to gravity
Not to be confused with g for grams
With negligible air resistance, falling objects can be considered freely falling.
objects of different shapes accelerate differently (stone vs feather)
Speed both upward and downward
99
The path is symmetrical.
Acceleration is constant.
The magnitude of the velocities is the same at equal heights.
Images become closer together as time increases
Acceleration and velocity are in opposite directions when ball goes upward.
Acceleration is uniform (violet arrows maintain the same length)
Velocity is decreasing in upward motion (red arrows are getting shorter)
Positive velocity and negative acceleration
Velocity becomes zero at maximum height.
Time duration flight in going upward and coming back is always same.

CHAPTER -9 Force & Laws Of Motion
KEY CONCEPTS [ *rating as per the significance of concept]
1 Balanced and Unbalanced Forces ***
2 Laws of Motion *****
3 Inertia and Mass *****
4 Conservation of Momentum ****
1 Balanced and Unbalanced Forces

Balanced Forces The net force is when two or more forces are applied on
the same object and at the same time. The applied forces combined are
called the net force. = 0 25 N 25 N
Balanced Forces The force I apply in one direction plus the force you apply
in the opposite direction are added together. 25 N -25 N = 0 Because the
forces are equal and balancedjust like a balanced scalethis is an
example of balanced forces. Unbalanced Forces What does it mean to
have something unbalanced? Unequal, not the same, different How could
we have unbalanced forces?
Unbalanced Forces A force is applied in one direction and either another

smaller or larger force is applied in the opposite direction or no force is
applied at all in the opposite direction.
Unbalanced Forces If I have a chair and I push on one side of it with a force
104
of 50 N and you push on the other side, with a force of 25 N, will the chair
move? Which way will it move? The direction in which the most force is
applied. What is the net force? 50 N 25 N.
Unbalanced Forces 50N -25N = 25N These forces are unequal so the forces
are considered unbalanced forces. 50 N 25 N = 25 N
Unbalanced Forces If I push the chair in one direction with 25 N force and
you push the chair in same direction with 25 N force, will the chair move?
Why? Because the applied net force is UNBALANCED!
Unbalanced Forces 25 N 25 N = 50 N The result would be the chair moving
in the direction it was pushed with a combined force of 50 N.
Test Yourself
1. An object of 5 kg is acted upon by two forces, 70 N each in opposite
directions. What is its acceleration?
2. Why does an object accelerate during free fall?
2 Laws of Motion
Newton's First Law
1st Law An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will
stay in motion at constant velocity, unless acted upon by an unbalanced
force.
An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in
motion at constant velocity, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Newton's Second Law
"If the net force on an object is not zero, the object will accelerate. The
direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force.
The magnitude of the acceleration is directly proportional to the net force
applied, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object."
Mathematical symbols provide a convenient shorthand for all of this:
105
The Effect of Mass
A force applied to an automobile will not have the same effect as the same
force applied to a pencil. An automobile resists accelerating much more
than a pencil does, because it has more inertia, or mass.
The acceleration of an object depends not only on how hard you push on
it, but also on how much the object resists being pushed.
What is the effect of mass on acceleration? This, too, turns out to be quite
simple (I wonder why...). For the same force, an object with twice the mass
will have half the acceleration. If it had three times the mass, the same
force will produce one-third the acceleration. Four times the mass gives
one-fourth of the acceleration, and so on.
This type of relationship between quantities (double one, get half the
other) is called an inverse proportion or inverse variation. In other words,
then:
Newtons Second Law of Motion The acceleration of an object is
dependent upon both force and mass. Thus, if the colliding objects have
unequal mass, they will have unequal accelerations as a result of the
contact force which results during the collision.
Newton's Third Law
Newton's Third Law is stated as:
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
"action...reaction" means that forces always occur in pairs. (Forces are
interactions between objects, like conversations are interactions between
people.)
106
Single, isolated forces never happen. The two forces involved are called
the "action force" and the "reaction force."
These names are unfortunate for a couple of reasons :
Either force in an interaction can be the "action" force or the "reaction"
force
The action and reaction forces exist at the same time.
"equal" means
Both forces are exactly the same size. They are equal in magnitude.
Both forces exist at exactly the same time. They both start at exactly the
same instant, and they both stop at exactly the same instant. They
are equal in time.
"opposite" means that the two forces always act in opposite directions -
exactly 180o apart.
Newton's third law of motion In every interaction, there is a pair of forces
acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the force on the first
object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of
the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the
second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-
reaction force pairs.
Newton's third law of motion applied to collisions between two objects. In
a collision between two objects, both objects experience forces which are
equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Such forces cause one object
to speed up (gain momentum) and the other object to slow down (lose
momentum). According to Newton's third law, the forces on the two
objects are equal in magnitude.
Test Yourself
1. Can action reaction balance each other?
2. What does a force do?
3 Inertia and Mass
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion. An
object will continue to move at the same speed in the same direction
107
unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Inertia & Mass
Inertia & Mass of a bowling ball rolled down the road would eventually
come to a stop. Friction is an unbalanced force that causes the ball to stop
or slow down. Without friction, the ball would keep going.
Inertia & Mass of a bowling ball and a tennis ball have the same inertia.
Inertia & Mass If you had a tennis racket and I threw tennis ball at you,
what would happen? If you had a tennis racket and I threw a bowling ball
at you, what would happen? Why could you change the motion of the
tennis ball but not the motion of the bowling ball?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. A bowling ball has more mass
than a tennis ball. The greater the mass of an object the greater its inertia.
Mass is the measurement of inertia.

Gravity is one of the most basic forces in the universe. It plays a fundamental role not
only in the structure of our solar system but also in the way objects behave on Earth. In
this section, we will talk about gravity on a small scale. We will discuss topics such as
weight, free fall, and ballistics. We will learn the physics of phenomena we experience
daily and take for granted
1.Gravitation
Gravitation is the force of attraction between two objects in the universe.
Gravitation may be the attraction of objects by the earth.
This force is proportional to the product of masses of the objects and inversely proportional
to the square of the distance between them. It is independent of medium.
110
Gravitational force =
Eg :- If a body is dropped from a certain height, it falls downwards due to earths

gravity.
If a body is thrown upwards, it reaches a certain height and then falls downwards
due to the earths gravity.
Gravitation may be the attraction between objects in outer space.
Eg :- Attraction between the earth and moon.
Attraction between the sun and planets.
GRAVITY
A natural force that pulls all objects toward the center of the earth
keeps the moon orbiting
It holds stars together . . .
And binds galaxies together for billions of years .Prevents Planets from losing their
atmospheres.
Test yourself:
1. When we move from the poles to the equator. Hence, the value of g
decreases. Why?
2. What is the difference between gravity and gravitation?
2.Universal law of gravitation: - Inverse square law- All bits of matter attract all
other bits of matter..
The universal law of gravitation states that, Every object in the universe attracts
every other object with a force which is directly proportional to product of the
masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The SI unit of G is N m2 kg -2 and its value is 6.673 x 10-11 N m2 kg -2

The strength of the gravitational attraction between two objects depends on two
factors:
111
How big the objects are (how much mass they have) and
How far apart they are.
Test Yourself
1. What is the difference between gravity and gravitation?
2. What does it mean to say that the Force of gravity is proportional to the masses
of the bodies, and inversely proportional to the distance between them?
3. Free Fall
With negligible air resistance, falling objects can be considered freely falling.
objects of different shapes accelerate differently (stone vs feather)
Test Yourself
1. A coin and a feather are dropped from the roof of a building. Which one will fall to
the ground first
4 .To calculate the value of g (acceleration due to gravity)

The acceleration due to gravity is denoted by g.
The unit of g is same as the unit of acceleration ms -2
From the second law of motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration.
F = ma
For free fall, force is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.
F = mg or mg = =
or g =
where M is the mass of the

Earth and d is the distance between the object and the earth.
112
For objects near or on the surface of the earth d is equal to the radius of the earth R
F = mg or mg = =
or g =
Test Yourself
1. Calculate the value of g on the surface of earth.
2. What is the difference between "weight" and "mass?
5. Mass and Weight:

Mass is a fundamental, universal property. You have the same amount of mass no
matter where you are in the Universe.
Weight is not fundamental its value depends on circumstances in the Universe. Weight
is a force. It is the resultant gravitational force exerted on a body with mass m by all the
other bodies on the Universe.
Weight = Fg = G m Me / R2 = mg
where Me is the mass of the Earth and R is the radius of the Earth.
Test Yourself
1. An astronaut has 80 kg mass on earth (a)what is his weight on earth? (b) What
will be his mass and weight on mars where g=3.7 m/s2 .
2. When you put an object on a spring balance, do you get the mass of an object or
its weight?
6.Weight Of The Object On Moon

The mass of the moon is less than the mass of the earth. So the moon exerts lesser
force on the objects than the earth.
The weight of an object on the moon is one sixth (1/6 th) of its weight on the earth.
The weight of an object on the earth is the force with which the earth attracts the
object and the weight of an object on the moon is the force with which the moon
attracts the object.
113
Celestial body Mass (kg) Radius (m)

7.Thrust & Pressure

Thrust is the force acting on an object perpendicular to the surface.
Pressure is the force acting on unit area of a surface

Thrust
Pressure = ----------
Area
The SI unit of thrust is N/m2 or N m-2 . It is called Pascal (Pa).
8. Pressure In Fluids
. Fluids exert pressure in all directions
Pressure exerted on fluids is transmitted equally in all directions.
9. Buoyancy
When an object is immersed in a fluid it experiences an upward force called buoyant
force. This property is called buoyancy or upthrust.
10. Why objects float or sink when placed on the surface of water?
Take some water in a beaker. Take a piece of cork and an iron nail of the same mass.
Place them on the water. The cork floats and the nail sinks.
If the density of an object is less than the density of a liquid, it will float on the liquid
and if the density of an object is more than the density of a liquid, it will sink in the
liquid.
114
11. Archeimedes Principle
Archimedes principle states that, When a body is partially or fully immersed
in a fluid it experiences an upward force that is equal to the weight of the
fluid displaced by it.
12 .Relative density
The relative density of a substance is the ratio of the density of a substance
to the density of water. It is a ratio of similar quantities and has no unit.

1.Work Done By A Constant Force

Work is a scalar quantity equal to the product of the displacement x and the
component of the force Fx in the direction of the displacement..
Work is defined as a force acting upon an object to cause a displacement
Mathematically, work can be expressed by the following equation.
W= F x d cos q ( cos 00 = 1)
where F = force, d = displacement, and the angle (theta) is defined as the angle
between the force and the displacement vector
Three things are necessary for the performance of work:
There must be an applied force F.
There must be a displacement x.
The force must have a component along the displacement
Negative Work
117
The friction force f opposes the displacement
Positive Work
Force F contributes to displacement x.

Test Yourself:
1.Calculate Work when F= 40 N and x = 4 m.
2.Calculate Work when F = -10 N and x = 4 m.
3. A lawn mower is pushed a horizontal distance of 20 m by a force of 200 N directed at an
angle of 300 with the ground. What is the work of this force?
4. A student lifts a 50 pound (lb) ball 4 feet (ft) in 5 seconds (s). How many joules of work has
the student completed?
2.Energy And Its Forms
James Joule
The metric system unit of energy is the joule (J), after James Joule.
Mechanical energy is the energy which is possessed by an object due to its motion or
its stored energy of position
Forms of Energy
Kinetic energy : is the energy of motion
Energy which a body possesses because of its motion, which occurs anywhere
from an atomic level to that of a whole organism
118
Examples of Kinetic Energy: This is not an all-inclusive list.
Electrical The movement of atoms
Electromagnetic or Radiant The movement of waves
Thermal or Heat The movement of molecules
Motion The movement of objects
Sound The movement through waves
Engineers generally refer to thermal/heat energy as internal energy and use

kinetic energy strictly in reference to motion.
Potential Energy (Stored energy or gravitational energy)
The capacity to do work by virtue of position or configuration
an object can store energy as the result of its position or elastic source
Potential Energy is maximum at the maximum HEIGHT
Energy transformation involves the conversion of one form of energy into another form.
Examples of energy transformation include:
119
Chemical Food is consumed and converted into motion for playing sports or taking
a test.
Radiant Sunlight is consumed by plants and converted into energy for growth.
Electrical Energy transferred to an oven is converted to thermal energy for heating

our food.
Now you know the basic forms of energy. The next question is What are the energy
sources?
There are renewable and nonrenewable sources of energy. A renewable energy source
is a form of energy that is constantly and rapidly replenished by natural processes.
Examples of renewable energy sources include:
Biomass The use of a living or once living organism as fuel
Hydropower The energy produced from the movement of water
Geothermal The use of heat from within the Earth or from the atmosphere
near oceans to warm houses or other buildings
Wind The use of wind to generate electricity
Solar The use of the sun as a source of heat; for instance, to heat a room within a
house, etc.
Energy Conversion

Fossil fuels Chemical Heat Mechanical Electrical
Solar cells Sunlight Electrical
Wind turbines Kinetic Mechanical Electrical
Hydroelectric Gravitational potential Mechanical Electrical
Nuclear Nuclear Heat Mechanical Electrical
Vehicle System Conversion

Test Yourself
1. How much potential energy is lost by a 5Kg object to kinetic energy due a decrease in
height of 4.5 m.
3. Potential energy of an object at a height
An object increases its energy when raised through a height.
The potential energy of an object at a height depends on the ground level or the zero level
4. Law Of Conservation Of Energy

The principle of Conservation of Mechanical Energy
The total mechanical energy (E=KE+PE) of an object remains constant as the object moves,
provided that the net work done by external non-conservative forces is zero, Wnc=0J
Total mechanical energy: the sum of kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy
E = KE + PE
Wnc = (KEf - KE0) + (PEf - PE0)
Wnc = (KEf + PEf) - (KE0 + PE0)
Wnc = Ef - E0
Ef = KEf + PEf) E0 = KE0 + PE0
121
5. Rate of Doing Work & Commercial Unit Of Energy
POWER
Rate at which work is performed or energy is expended
W
P=
t
Watt is the base unit of Power
One watt is equal to 1 joule of work per second
Types of Power
Electrical Power
Uses electrical energy to do work
Mechanical Power
Uses mechanical energy to do work (linear, rotary)
Fluid Power
Uses energy transferred by liquids (hydraulic) and gases (pneumatic)
Power is the rate that we use energy.
Power = Work or Energy / Time
P = W/t = F x d/t = F v
The unit joule is too small .The bigger unit of energy called kilowatt hour (kW h)
1 kW h is the energy used in one hour
at the rate of 1000 J s1 (or 1 kW).
1 kW h = 1 kW *1 h
= 1000 W*3600 s
= 3600000 J
1 kW h = 3.6 x 106 J.
122
Test Yourself
1. A 5 Kg Cart is pushed by a 30 N force against friction for a distance of 10m in 5
seconds. Determine the Power needed to move the cart.
2. A student lifts a 50.0 pound (lb) ball 4.00 feet (ft) in 5 .00seconds (s). How many
watts of power are used to lift the ball?
Important Points for Work Problems:

Always draw a free-body diagram, choosing the positive x-axis in the same
direction as the displacement.
Work is negative if a component of the force is opposite displacement
direction
Work done by any force that is at right angles with displacement will be zero
(0).
For resultant work, you can add the works of each force, or multiply the
resultant force times the net displacement.
Energy is the ability to move
Potential is stored energy (Statics)
Dependant on height
Kinetic is moving energy (Dynamics)
Dependant on velocity
Springs store energy dependant on distance and constant

1. Production of Sound
Sound is produced due to the vibration of objects. Vibration is the rapid to and fro motion of an
object.
Vibrating objects are the source of all sounds Irregular, chaotic vibrations produce noise Regular,
controlled vibration can produce music All sound is a combination of pure frequencies
A stretched rubber band when plucked vibrates and produces sound.
2. Propagation of Sound
When an object vibrates, the particles around the medium vibrate. The particle in contact with the
vibrating object is first displaced from its equilibrium position
The disturbance produced by the vibrating body travels through the medium but the particles do not
move forward themselves.
A wave is a disturbance which moves through a medium by the vibration of the particles of the
medium. So sound is considered as a wave.Sound waves Require medium for transmission.Sound
waves are called mechanical waves. When a vibrating object moves forward, it pushes and
compresses the air in front of it forming a region of high pressure called compression (C). When the
vibrating object moves backward, it forms a region of low pressure called rarefaction (R).
125
A vibrating object producing a series of compressions (C) and rarefaction (R)
In these waves the particles move back and forth parallel to the direction of propagation of the
disturbance. Such waves are called longitudinal waves.
There is another kind of waves called transverse waves. In these waves the particles oscillate up
and down perpendicular to the propagation of the direction of disturbance.
Sound propagates in a medium as a series of compressions (C) and rarefactions (R).
Compressions are the regions of high pressure and density where the particles are crowded and
are represented by the upper portion of the curve called crest.
Rarefactions are the regions of low pressure and density where the particles are spread out and
are represented by the lower portion of the curve called trough
Characteristics of a sound wave
Frequency of sound wave

The number of oscillations per unit time is called the frequency of the sound wave.
It is represented by the symbol (Greek letter nu). Its SI unit is hertz (Hz)
126
Time period of sound wave
Frequency and time are represented as follows:-
for one oscillation
1 1
T = ---- or = ----
T
Amplitude of sound wave
The amplitude of sound wave is the height of the crest or tough.
It is represented by the letter A.
The SI unit is the same as that of density or pressure.
Wavelength and Amplitude
The wavelength is the distance between the "crests" of two waves that are next to each other.
The amplitude is how high the crests are.
Pitch and loudness of sound
The pitch of sound (shrillness or flatness) depends on the frequency of vibration.
If the frequency is high, the sound has high pitch and if the frequency is low, the sound
has low pitch
Speed of sound
The speed of sound is more in solids, less in liquids and least in gases.
The speed of sound also depends on the temperature of the medium. If the temperature
of the medium is more, the speed of sound is more
3. Reflection of Sound
Sound gets reflected at the surface of a solid or liquid and follows the laws of reflection.
i) The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
127
ii) The incident ray, the reflected ray and normal at the point of incidence all lie in the
same plane.
4. Echo
If we shout or clap near a reflecting surface like tall building or a mountain, we hear the
same sound again. This sound which we hear is called echo. It is caused due to the reflection
of sound.
To hear an echo clearly, the time interval between the original sound and the echo
must be at least 0.1 s.
Since the speed of sound in air is 344 m/s, the distance travelled by sound in 0.I s = 344
m/s x 0.1 s = 34.4 m
So to hear an echo clearly, the minimum distance of the reflecting surface should be
half this distance that is 17.2 m.
Reverberation
Echoes may be heard more than once due to repeated or multiple reflections of sound
from several reflecting surfaces. This causes persistence of sound called reverberation.
In big halls or auditoriums to reduce reverberation, the roofs and walls are covered by
sound absorbing materials like compressed fibre boards, rough plaster or draperies.
5. Uses Of Multiple Reflection Of Sound
Megaphones, horns, musical instruments like trumpets, etc. are deigned to send sound by
multiple reflection in a particular direction without spreading in all directions.
ii) Doctors listen to sounds from the human body through a stethoscope. The sound of
heartbeat reaches the doctors ears by multiple reflection.
iii) Generally the ceilings of cinema halls and auditoriums are curved so that sound after
multiple reflection reaches all parts of the hall.
128
Sometimes a curved sound board is placed behind the stage so that sound after multiple
reflection spreads evenly across the hall.
6. Range of Hearing
Human beings can hear sound frequencies between 20 Hz and 2000 Hz.
Sound whose frequency is less than 20 Hz is called infrasonic sound
Sound whose frequency is more than 2000 Hz is called ultrasonic sound
7. Uses of ultrasonic sound
Ultrasonic sound is used to clean objects like electronic Components, used to detect cracks
in metal blocks, used in ultra sound scanners for getting images of internal organs of the
human body used to break small stones formed in the kidneys into fine grains.
8 Sonar
It is a device which uses ultrasonic waves to measure distance, direction and speed of
underwater objects. The distance of the object can be calculated by knowing the speed of
sound in water and the time taken between the transmission and reception of ultrasound
9.Structure of the human ear
The sound waves passes through the ear canal to a thin membrane called eardrum. The
eardrum vibrates. The vibrations are amplified by the three bones of the middle ear called
129
hammer, anvil and stirrup. Middle ear then transmits the sound waves to the inner ear. The
brain then interprets the signals as sound.

6. Draw a neat diagram of human ear. Explain the function of various parts.
What have you learnt

Longitudinal waves: Those in which the direction of vibration is the same as their direction
of propagation. So the movement of the particles of the medium is either in the same or in
the opposite direction to the motion of the wave. Exemple: sound waves, what changes in
this case is the pressure of the medium (air, water or whatever it be).
131
Transverse waves: The oscillations occur perpendicularly to the direction of energy transfer.
Exemple: a wave in a tense string. Here the varying magnitude is the distance from the
equilibrium horizontal position
A general property of waves is that their speed relative to medium depends on the
properties of medium but is independent of the motion of the source of waves. If the
observer is in motion with respect to the medium, the velocity of wave propagation relative
to the observer wil be different. A remarkable exception is encountered in the case of light

Answer the following Each question carries 3 marks
1 Give the effect of Ozone on life on earth
A Ozone can lead to more frequent asthma attacks in people who have asthma and can
cause sore throats, coughs, and breathing difficulty. It may even lead to premature
death. It can also hurt plants and crops.
.
2 What is the effect of Air Pollution on Taj Mahal? Give reasons for the same.
A Taj Mahal is turning yellow because of air pollution. Glass factories, rubber industries,
Mathura Oil refinery and other industries of the neighbouring towns which burn
fossil fuels are responsible for this. These industries release soot particles and gases
into the atmosphere. The soot particles turn the colour of the marble to yellow and
gases react with water to form acid rain which corrodes the marble of the monument

7 What is PM10?
Particulate matter (PM10) pollution consists of very small liquid and solid particles
floating in the air. Of greatest concern to public health are the particles small enough
to be inhaled into the deepest parts of the lung. These particles are less
than 10 microns in diameter - about 1/7th the thickness of the human hair - and are
known as PM10. This includes fine particulate matter known as PM2.5.
(Or)
PM10 is a mixture of materials that can include smoke, soot, dust, salt, acids, and
metals. Particulate matter also forms when gases emitted from motor vehicles and
industry undergoes chemical reactions in the atmosphere.
8 What are the sources of PM10?
There are sources of PM10 in both urban and rural areas, major sources include:
a. Motor vehicles.
8|Page
b. Wood burning stoves and fireplaces.
c. Dust from construction, landfills, and agriculture.
d. Wildfires and brush/waste burning.
e. Industrial sources.
f. Windblown dust from open lands.
9 What is NAMP? What are the objectives of NAMP?
A NAMP is National Air quality Monitoring Programme.
The objectives of NAMP are
To determine status and trends of ambient air quality;
o To ascertain whether the prescribed ambient air quality standards are

violated, to identify Non-attainment cities.
o To obtain the knowledge and understanding necessary for developing

preventive and corrective measures;
To understand the natural cleaning process undergoing in the environment

through pollution, dilution, dispersion, wind based movement, dry deposition,
precipitation and chemical transformation of pollutants generated.
10 How does Air pollution affects you?
PM10 is among the most harmful of all air pollutants. When inhaled these particles
evade the respiratory system's natural defenses and lodge deep in the lungs.
Health problems begin as the body reacts to these foreign particles. PM10 can increase
the number and severity of asthma attacks, cause or aggravate bronchitis and other
lung diseases, and reduce the body's ability to fight infections.
Although particulate matter can cause health problems for everyone, certain people
are especially vulnerable to PM10's adverse health effects. These "sensitive populations"
include children, the elderly, exercising adults, and those suffering from asthma or
bronchitis.
Of greatest concern are recent studies that link PM10 exposure to the premature death
9|Page
of people who already have heart and lung disease, especially the elderly
11 What steps do you take to control Air Pollution at your level?
OZONE (O3): Ozone can lead to more frequent asthma attacks in people who have
asthma and can cause sore throats, coughs, and breathing difficulty. It may even lead
to premature death..
Carbon Monoxide (CO): Carbon monoxide makes it hard for body parts to get the
oxygen they need to run correctly. Exposure to carbon monoxide makes people feel
dizzy and tired and gives them headaches. In high concentrations it is fatal. Elderly
people with heart disease are hospitalized more often when they are exposed to higher
amounts of carbon monoxide.
Particulate Matter (PM): Particulate matter that is small enough can enter the lungs
and cause health problems. Some of these problems include more frequent asthma
attacks, respiratory problems, and premature death.
12 Malappuram in Kerala state is considered to be pollution free. Justify your answer

The status of Ambient Air Quality in Malappuram is below the actual standards of
National Ambient Air quality i. e., SO2 = 2gm/m3, NO2= 52gm/m3, PM 10 =
30gm/m3. Since these values are very much below the national standards the city is
considered to be pollution free
13 What steps do you take to control Air Pollution at your level?
* Hang dry some-or all-of the laundry. Walk, ride your bike or take a bus to work.
* Share a ride with a friend or co-worker.
* Turn out the lights in empty rooms and when away from home.
* Avoid burning trash or leaves
* Hang dry some-or all-of the laundry.
* Reduce the number of trips you make in your car.
* Avoid the use of air conditioners altogether.
* Take the train or bus on long trips.
14 As a student what all actions can you take to make your environment clean
A a. Conserve energy in your home, office and automobile.

in the winter and up in the summer whenever you are at work,
10 | P a g e
sleeping or on vacation.)
d. Cut back on the amount of packaging you purchase and the
amount of household waste you produce (by composting).
e. Reduce the amount of time you spend in the car. (Carpool or use
public transportation whenever you can)
f. Improve your fuel economy. Avoid accelerating quickly, braking
hard and driving at high speeds, particularly when in heavy
traffic. Remove excess weight from your car and remove unused
roof racks or bike carriers, which cause drag.
16 Study picture 5 and answer the following question. How do the pollutants
affect the children?
A Early childhood is a critical period for the continued development and
maturation of several biological systems such as the brain, lungs, and immune
system. Air toxins can impair lung function and neurodevelopment, or
aggravate existing conditions, such as chronic cough, bronchitis, reduced lung
function, wheezing and asthma. Infants who were born premature or growth-
retarded may be particularly vulnerable to additional environmental insults.
Answer the following Each question carries 5marks

1 Carbon dioxide is necessary for the survival of life on Earth as it is an essential raw
material for the process of photosynthesis and greenhouse effect. This effect is essential
to maintain and keep the earths atmosphere warm to sustain life. But due to excessive
burning of fossil fuels and other carbon containing fuels, there has been an excessive
release of CO2 in the atmosphere. The increasing CO2 levels in the atmosphere lead to
excessive heating in the earths surface. The heating results into a new phenomenon
called Global Warming.
Answer the following questions:

a. What is the function of greenhouse gas?
b. Give any two uses of the gas that is released in the process of photosynthesis.
c. What are the greenhouse gases?
A a. The functions of greenhouse gases are to absorb heat from sunlight and
11 | P a g e
trap it in the atmosphere to warm the Earth and melt the ice caps.
b. Carbon dioxide gas is involved in the production of refrigeration systems,
welding systems, water treatment processes (to stabilize the pH of water)
and carbonated beverages.
c. Water vapour, Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone,
chlorofluorocarbons
2 What are the effects of Acid rain on Environment?
Effects on vegetation: Acid rain corrodes the protective covering of leaves of the plants,
which affect the photosynthesis of the plants. Due to lack of nutrition, plants become
vulnerable to disease. Another cause of lack of nutrition for trees may be due to acid
rain getting absorbed by the soil. The harmful acids can have hazardous effects on the
roots of the trees
.
Effects on soil:: the soil has abundant various metals and minerals. When these metals
come in contact with acid rain there can be some harmful chemical reactions. These
reactions can lead to soil erosion. Acid rains are known to reduce the fertility of the
soil, leaving the land barren. Harmful acids can also reduce the amount of soil
microorganisms which perform important job of breaking down the dead and decayed
plants and other beings.
Effects on Aquatic Flora and Fauna: Acid rain can directly affect the aquatic life, as the
high amount of sulphuric acid and nitric acid levels in acid rains are directly
consumed by aquatic plants and animals. The harmful acids affects the ability of fish
to take in nutrients, salt, and oxygen. Aquatic animals intake oxygen from the water
through their gills, but harmful acids leads to mucus formation in the gills, which
hinders their ability to respire. Acid rains affect the pH level of water which reduce the
absorption capacity of essential nutrients of the aquatic life.
Effects on Human Health: As acid rain affects the soil making it poisonous, the
food which is grown on this soil is also contaminated. This food can seriously
hamper our entire body system and may cause death. The release of various
gases in the atmosphere leads to lung problems
3 Identify from the pictures and data given in the text, the diseases which occur in
children of age group 6 to 12 and 0 to 5 due to air pollution. Analyse the given data
and draw conclusion about health of children and pollution levels of various cities in
India. What are the steps taken by the authorities and communities to check the same?
Diseases which occur in children of age group 6 to 12: due to air pollution
Increase in lung volume
12 | P a g e
Chronic cough and bronchitis
Reduced lung function
Wheezing and asthma attacks
Respiratory problems
Diseases which occur in children of age group 0 to 5 due to air pollution
Alveolar development
Respiratory death
Cough , bronchitis wheezing, ear infections and illness
There are more number of unhealthy children in Nagpur than the other cities.
The city does not have large industries and hence the high SPM levels are mainly due
to demolition of buildings, construction activity, and excavation of roads.
STEPS TAKEN BY THE Govt TO CHECK AIR POLLUTION :
1. Proper care needs to be taken during demolition and excavation to ensure
that dust does not settle in air
2. Planting more trees
3. Proper disposal of bio- medical waste.
4 Air pollution-fifth largest killer in India
i. What are the effects of burning agricultural waste?

ii. What are the health effects of Carbon Monoxide?
iii. How can pollution prevention be achieved?
A i. Burning agricultural waste is a source of particulate matter and other

pollutants. It can greatly affect the regional air quality, visibility and
ground level zero potential.
13 | P a g e
ii. When we breathe air containing CO it is absorbed through the
bloodstream where it displaces oxygen and bonds with the hemoglobin
in your blood. Carbon monoxide has a greater affinity to hemoglobin
than oxygen; CO bonds to hemoglobin about 250 times better than
oxygen. Without oxygen, vital organs, your heart and brain become
deprived and will begin to deteriorate. To compensate, your heart rate
increases, breathing may become difficult and in the most serious
circumstances cardiac trauma, brain damage, coma and even death will
result.
iii. Pollution may be prevented by many types of approaches.
a. Reduction of pollutants can be achieved by using raw materials,
energy, and water more efficiently.
b. Conserving and protecting natural resources can also reduce
the amount of waste produced.
c. Actions which may prevent and reduce pollution include:
product redesign substitution of raw materials process or
equipment modifications improvements in maintenance,
training, inventory control and housekeeping.
Answer the following Higher Order thinking questions.

1 A farmer plants the crop in the field. After some days he finds the plants to be
dead. He plants the crop once again and finds the same result. What may be
the cause for this . Give your answer.
A The Plants die due to the effect of acid rain. Acid rain does not affect the trees
directly, Instead it weakens them by damaging their leaves and roots or
poisoning them with toxic substances. Nutrients present in the soil are
destroyed by the acidity. Useful microorganisms which release nutrients from
decaying organic matter, into the soil are killed off, resulting in less nutrients
being available for the plants
2 In an accident in a chemicals and fertilizers industry there was
release of CO2 gas into the atmosphere. During the next rain Sudha
got wet. Red rashes followed by itching were formed on her body.
i. What could be the cause of this?
ii. Suggest some methods to reduce this effect.
A i. This could be caused due to acid rains. The first shower of rainfall
contains acid H2CO3. When water containing acid comes in contact
14 | P a g e
with the skin, denaturation of proteins occurs.
ii. Many precautions can be taken to minimize such pollutions by
spreading awareness and educating people.
a. Factories can be closed down if they do not adhere to the standards
prescribed by the pollution control board.
b. Monitoring of the gases such as Carbon dioxide , sulphur dioxide
and other gases thatare released from the facories
c. Using efficient fuelswhere ever fuel is required
d. By planting trees in the surroundings
Answer the following questions . Teachers are requested to make the children
answer these questions by the way of group work
1 Think of a Model which can give signals when the pollution coming out of
the factory or appliance exceeds beyond the prescribed levels
2. Suppose that a place is highly polluted and filled with gases of CO2, SO2, PM
etc. Think of the ways that gases will not mix or minimise the amount that
they mix with rain water to form acids and fall on the ground.

21 How is the record of rainfall maintained?
The record of rainfall is maintained on a daily basis by the meteorological department in

the place. Generally the rainfall received over a year is reported to-- classify the place as
one which receives torrential rains or average or scanty rainfall.
22 When is a place said to have torrential rains?
A place which receives above 3000mm of rain per year is said to have torrential rains. Eg
Cherapunji, western coast of Indiaparticularly Karnataka and Kerala
23 Do landslides occur in all hills?
The Mountains of the Himalayas and the Western Ghats are young mountains and hence
the soil has not hardened enough. Hence the chances of occurrence of landslides are
more.
24 Why do landslides occur?

One of the reasons could be--The anthropogenic activities (Man Made activities) like
cutting the hills to make roads and houses have lead to keeping the cut edges of the hill
without support. Hence the landslide when there is a heavy rain. Such landslides can be
reduced by constructing a retaining wall along the walls of the roads etc.

1 What are the reasons for the irreversible damage that took place during the Uttarakhand
disaster that took place on 16th and 17th June, 2013?
A Causes for the damage that took place during the disaster are due to
a. Cloudburst and landslides
21 | P a g e
b. Cutting down of forests
c. Building roads for promoting tourism,
d. Unplanned structures
e. Setting up industries and
f. Erroneous agricultural practices o barren hill slopes
g. Unscientific road building
h. Constructing hydroelectric power plants
2 A large number of Hydel projects are constructed in the state of Uttarakhand. Why?
A The principle of Hydel project is that Potential energy of water falling from a height can be
utilized to produce electric energy. The Uttarakhand regions key resource is the water that
flows from high glaciers and mountains to the plains. This resource was utilized to build
hydropower projects that generate revenue mountains to the plains for the state.
3 What causes landslide in Uttarakhand?
A Many factors contribute to the instability of slopes, but the main controlling factors are
the nature of the underlying bedrock and soil, the configuration of the slope, the
geometry of the slope, and ground-water conditions.
Improper cutting of a slope by stream erosion, wave action, glaciers, or
human activities such as road building,
Continuous and Heavy rainfall, rapid snowmelt, fluctuations in ground-
water levels,
Shocks or vibrations caused by earthquakes or construction activities,
Movement of heavy loads on upper slopes, or
One of these or a combination of these factors is a cause for the
landslides in Uttarakhand.

22 | P a g e
1 When the flood struck in Uttarakhand about 28 million tourists were visiting the state,
while the local people are close to that number.
a. Does it really affect the ecological conditions of that region? If yes how?
b. Do you think will it be a wise decision to ban tourism to this state?
Justify your answer.
A a. Yes, by cutting down the forest and dynamiting the mountains for building
roads and hotels for promoting tourism will disturb the bio diversity because of
the following reasons
When a large population is concentrated over a small area it will have
the effect of
I. decrease of clean water
II. decrease of the number of forest/deforestation to make a new
house or had been converted into farmlands
III. Increase of waste on the environment. Its condition make a unhealthy
sanitation
IV. Increase of infectious disease. So the people get sick easily
V. Due to increase in population, greezone becomes smaller and smaller
because of the construction of various facilities such as buildings, roads
etc . Thereby only small amount of water can be absorbed into the soil.
b. The decision to ban tourism completely from this state is not correct. It
will affect the lively hood of local people who earn their bread and
butter. States revenue also gets affected due to this , Instead the
following measures can be taken up
1. Instead of allowing a big group, people in small chunks can be allowed to
visit.
2. Strict rules are to be enforced on the pilgrims and tourists in the
disposing the Waste materials for promoting the healthy environment
3. The tourists as well as local people should be properly trained to face any
natural disaster without disturbing the nature.
4. All hilly roads must have adequate drainage systems to fight with natural
calamities
5. There has to be a mandatory environmental impact assessment for the
construction of all state and national high ways and broadening of roads
23 | P a g e
2 What are the tourism related activities that affect the environment at a place?
a. Construction of new roads and bridges and broadening of the ones that already
exist.
b. Building many hotels and guest houses to accommodate tourists
c. Building huge power projects to meet the growing demands of energy of the
expanding state
d. Dumping of huge quantities of organic and in-organic waste.
e. Deforestation for growing demands of space
Heavy traffic that pollute air and water, on fragile regions
3 The horrific disaster that struck Uttarakhand has been assessed as a mix of natural and
manmade reasons. Justify the statement
A heavy rainfall, cloudbursts and landslides were the natural causes of
Uttarakhand disaster. In addition to the nature man also is equally responsible for
this disaster.
1. Riverbed Mining is done in an area of 1.608 hac.
2. .About 15,072 ha of forests have been cleared.. The region is prone to
landslides.
3. There are 244 Hydel projects constructed to satisfy the energy needs.
This resulted in evacuation of many people. Also People lost their
livelihood. There are reports to say that large part of power generated is
lost during transmission .
4. There are no readiness programmes to face the calamities.
5. Improper building constructions.
6. Improper agricultural practices on barren hill slopes,
7. Unscientific road building and
8. The extraction of building stones from open ground. . A report commissioned by
the Union Environment warned the centre against going ahead with 24 hydel
projects planned on the Alakananda and Bhagirathi river systems which will
destroy the 22 percent of the states forest land and eco system.
9. There is a1000 per cent increase in vehicular traffic in the last eight years which
resulted in the higher increase of landslides. More number of people allowed for
tourism during the monsoon season. There are no rain fall measuring devices set
up at Kedarnath and Badrinath to know how much rain fell and find out the
causes.

4 What are the advantages of constructing Dams
1. Clean, efficient, and reliable form of energy.
2. Does not emit any direct pollutants or greenhouse gases.
3. While the initial cost is high, they are very inexpensive to operate.
4. Electricity generated by hydro-electric power plants is the cheapest electricity
generated.
5. Dams prevent floods.
6. Dams store water for irrigation in summer seasons and dry months. Many desert areas
can now farm due to dams and canals that supply water.
7. Dams supply water for local drinking needs.
8. Allows for fish farming.
5 What is the negative impact of constructing HYDEL POWER PROJECTS?

1. In flat basins large dams cause flooding of large tracts of land, destroying local animals
and habitats.
2. People have to be displaced causing change in life style and customs, even causing
emotional scarring. About 40 to 80 million people have been displaced physically by
dams worldwide.
3. Large amounts of plant life are submerged and decay anaerobically (in the absence of
oxygen) generating greenhouse gases like methane. It is estimated that a hydroelectric
power plant produces 3.5 times the amount of greenhouse gases as a thermal power
plant burning fossil fuels.
4. The migratory pattern of river animals like salmon and trout are affected.
5. Dams restrict sediments that are responsible for the fertile lands downstream. Farmers
use chemical fertilizers and pesticides to compensate for the loss in productivity.
6. Salt water intrusion into the deltas means that the saline water cannot be used for
irrigation.
7. Large dams are breeding grounds for mosquitoes and cause the spread of disease.
8. Farmers downstream who used to wait for the flooding of the fields to plant their seeds
are affected.
9. Dams serve as a heat sink, and the water is hotter than the normal river water. This
warm water when released into the river downstream can affect animal life.
10. Peak power operations can change the water level thirty to forty feet in one day and
can kill the animals staying at the shorelines.
Around 400,000 km2 of land worldwide has been submerged due to the construction
of dams.
