ii) After an action potential, in which direction does current flow outside the membrane?
iii) When does given axonal membrane is impermeable to negatively charged proteins present
in the axoplasm?
SECTION- D
29. Read the text carefully and answer the questions:
Sarcodines are unicellular/jelly-like protozoa found in fresh or sea water and in moist soil. Their body
lacks a periplast. Therefore, they may be naked or covered by a calcareous shell. They usually lack
flagella and have temporary protoplasmic outgrowths called pseudopodia. These pseudopodia or false
feet help in movement and capturing prey. They include free-living forms such as Amoeba or parasitic
forms such as Entamoeba. Zoo flagellates ciliates and I sporozoans are other groups of protozoan
protists. They are all unicellular and heterotrophic. They may be holozoic, saprobic or parasitic.
i) Write two lines about flagellated protozoans and also mention some flagellated protozoans.
OR
Which protozoan group has two nuclei, macronucleus, and micronucleus? Mention
characteristics of it.
ii) Observe the given protozoan classification and mention what is the basis of protozoan
classification.
iii) Mention some locomotory organs of protozoa.
30. Read the text carefully and answer the questions:

The androecium is composed of stamens. Each stamen that represents the male reproductive organ
consists of a stalk or a filament and an anther. Each anther is usually bilobed and each lobe has two
chambers, the pollen-sacs. Stamens of flowers may be united with other members such as petals or
among themselves. The stamens may be epipetalous or epiphyllous. A flower is a modified shoot
wherein the shoot apical meristem changes to floral meristem. Internodes do not elongate and the axis
gets condensed. The apex produces different kinds of floral appendages laterally at successive nodes
instead of leaves. The arrangement of flowers on the floral axis is termed an inflorescence.
i) Observe the figure and mention what is androecium composed of.

ii) The pollen grains are produced in pollen-sacs. What is a sterile stamen is called?
iii) Is salvia and mustard show variation in the length of filaments within a flower?
OR
Mention statement justifies that the given figure is racemose inflorescence.
SECTION- E
31. Describe the following:
i. Synapsis
ii. Bivalent
iii. Chiasmata
Draw a diagram to illustrate your anwer.
OR
With the help of suitable diagrams describe mitosis.
32. Enumerate the assumptions that we undertake in making the respiratory balance sheet. Are these
assumptions valid for a living system? Compare fermentation and aerobic respiration in this context.
OR
Where is the electron transport system operative in mitochondria? Explain the system highlighting the
role of oxygen.
33. The diagram shows some of the structures present in an animal cell.
Which of these structures is responsible for
i. Manufacture of lipids and steroids
ii. Release of energy
iii. Manufacture of hormones and digestive enzymes
iv. Production of spindle fibres in cell division
v. Endo and exocytosis?
OR
Structure and function are correlatable in living organisms. Can you justify this by taking the plasma
membrane as an example?
