CASE BASED STUDY QUESTIONS: (4 X 3 = 12)
37. Two children went to the park with their grandfather. On reaching the park,
the children joined others to play, while their grandfather after taking three
rounds of the park, sat on the chair, took out newspaper from his bag and began
to read with the help of his spectacle. After sometime, he realised that it was
too long to see the children, he looked around, but though he has worn
spectacle, he couldn’t see anything. He then realised that he had forgotten his
other spectacle, which he used to see the faraway places, were left at home. He
began calling them by their names, but due to the large distance, his voice was
not reaching the children. Another man sitting beside him realised the problem
and helped him to reach the children.

(c) State the cause of eye defect by which grandfather is suffering.
Or
(c) If a grandfather wears lens of power – 6D for the distant vision and for
correcting his near vision, he needs a lens of +2D. Determine the focal length of
the lenses in both the cases.

38. (a) Write the chemical equation of the coating that forms on silver and
copper articles when these are left exposed to moist air. (2)
(b) Explain galvanisation. What is it used for? (1)
(c) Define an alloy. How are alloys prepared? How do the properties of iron
change when it it alloyed:
(i) small quantity of carbon,
(ii) nickel and chromium are mixed with it. (2)

39. Plants and animals need energy to carry out various life processes. Plants
use sunlight to produce their food through a process called photosynthesis. This
food is then broken down to release energy. Animals, on the other hand, get
their food from plants or other animals. The energy stored in food is released by
a process called respiration. Respiration can happen with or without oxygen.
Oxygen is taken in by the respiratory system and transported to all body cells,
where it is used to release energy from food. Carbon dioxide, a waste product, is
then expelled from the body.
(a) What are the two types of respiration? Explain briefly.
(b) Which part of the plant is mainly responsible for the process of
photosynthesis?
(c) What is the main gas used by the body cells during respiration?
(d) How does the body expel carbon dioxide, the waste product of respiration?
