    option given below:
    (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
    (b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
    (c) A is true but R is false.
    (d) A is false but R is true.

    1. Assertion (A): Diffusion does not meet high energy


    requirements of multi-cellular organisms
    Reason (R): Diffusion is a fast process but occurs at the surface of
    the body.

    2. Assertion (A): Kidneys perform a dual function in our body.


    Reason (R): Selective reabsorption occurs in the glomerulus
    Reason: Higher energy need due to endothermy (warm blooded).

    3. Assertion (A): The purpose of making urine is to filter out


    undigested food from intestine
    Reason (R): Kidneys filter the waste and produce urine

    4. Assertion (A): Arteries always carry oxygenated blood.


    Reason (R): Arteries transport blood from the heart to different
    parts of the body.

    5. Assertion (A): The inner lining of the small intestine has


    numerous finger-like projections called villi.
    Reason (R) : The villi increase the surface area for absorption.

    6. Assertion (A) : Photosynthesis takes place in green parts of the


    plants.
    Reason (R) : Photosynthesis always takes place in leaves.

    7. Assertion (A) : Ureters are the tubes which carry urine from
    kidneys to the bladder.
    Reason (R): Urine is stored in the urethra.

    8. Assertion (A): Tracheal cartilage is present in the throat.


    Reason (R): The larynx plays an important role in human speech.

    9. Assertion (A): During transpiration the evaporating water


    carries away heat energy.
    Reason (R): Due to water loss the osmotic pressure inside leaves
    increases.

    Write down the answer of the following question

    1.What advantage over an aquatic organism does a terrestrial


    organism have with regard to obtaining oxygen for respiration?

    2.(i) Write the balanced chemical equation for the process of


    photosynthesis,
    (ii) When do the desert plants take up carbon dioxide and
    perform photosynthesis ?

    3. State two differences between arteries and veins.

    4. Explain the process of nutrition in Amoeba.

    5. (a) “The breathing cycle is rhythmic whereas exchange of gases


    is a continuous process”. Justify this statement.
    (b) What happens if the conducting tubes of the circulatory
    system develop a leak? State in brief, how could this be avoided?
    c) How does the opening and closing of stomata take place?

    6. What is the significance of Small Intestine in our body ? (Any 3


    points)

    Q.1. Assertion (A) : Insulin regulates blood sugar level.


    Reason (R) : Insufficient secretion of insulin will cause diabetes.

    Q.2. Assertion(A): A growing plant appears to bend towards the


    direction of light
    Reason (R) : The plant hormone auxin diffuses towards the shady
    side of the root.

    Q.3. Assertion (A) : The effect of auxin hormone on the growth of


    root is exactly opposite to that on a stem.
    Reason (R) : Auxin hormone increases the rate of growth in root
    and decreases the rate of growth in stem.

    Q.4. Assertion(A) : The use of iodised salt prevents risk of goitre.


    Reason (R) : Iodised salt provides iodine needed by thyroid gland
    to make sufficient thyroxin for our body.

    Q.5. Assertion (A) : The brain is also known as the central nervous
    system.
    Reason (R) : Central nervous system controls and regulates the
    voluntary actions.

    Q.6. Assertion (A) : Animals can react to stimuli in different ways.


    Reason (R) : All animals have a nervous system and an endocrine
    system involving hormones.

    Q.7. Assertion (A) : A receptor is a specialized group of cells in a


    sense organ that perceive a particular type of stimulus.
    Reason (R) : Different sense organs have different receptors for
    detecting stimuli.

    ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION

    1. How does a touch – me – not plant respond on touching? What
