Passage 4
The Great Barrier Reef is one of the world's most stunning natural wonders. Located off the coast of
Queensland, Australia, it is the largest coral reef system in the world, stretching over 2300 kilometers.

The Great Barrier Reef is home to a diverse range of marine life, including more than 1500 species of fish
and over 400 species of coral. It is also an important economic resource, supporting tourism and fishing
industries.

However, the reef is under threat from a range of environmental stressors, including climate change,
pollution, and overfishing. Climate change is causing ocean temperatures to rise, leading to coral bleaching,
where the coral turns white and is at risk of dying. Pollution from agricultural runoff and shipping is also
impacting the reef's health, while overfishing can lead to imbalances in the ecosystem.
To illustrate the impact of climate change on the Great
Barrier Reef, a series of images were taken over a 10-
year period. The images show the same location on the
reef in 2008 and 2018, highlighting the significant loss
of coral due to bleaching.

The images are a stark reminder of the urgent need to

take action to protect the reef and other fragile
ecosystems. Governments, businesses, and individuals
must work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,
reduce pollution, and ensure sustainable fishing
practices.

Passage 6

Indian music is known for its rich cultural heritage and diversity. It is a blend of ancient traditions, classical
styles, and regional variations. Indian classical music is divided into two main categories: Hindustani music
and Carnatic music.

Hindustani music is the classical music of northern India and is heavily influenced by Persian and Islamic
music. It is characterized by the use of ragas, or melodic scales, and talas, or rhythmic patterns. The music is
often accompanied by the sitar, sarod, tabla, and harmonium.
Carnatic music is the classical music of southern India and is believed to have originated from the music of
the ancient Tamil Nadu region. It is characterized by the use of ragas and talas, and the music is often
accompanied by the veena, mridangam, and ghatam.

Indian music also includes a variety of folk music styles that vary greatly from region to region. These styles
are often passed down through generations and reflect the cultural traditions and history of their respective
regions.

One of the unique features of Indian music is its emphasis on improvisation. Musicians are often given a
framework of a raga or tala and are encouraged to improvise and create their own variations within that
framework.

Another important aspect of Indian music is its connection to spirituality. Many Indian classical musicians
believe that music is a way to connect with the divine and to transcend worldly concerns.

Passage 7

Child psychology is the study of children's mental and emotional development. It is a broad field that covers
a range of topics, including cognitive development, language acquisition, socialization, and emotional
regulation.

One of the most important theories in child psychology is Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development.
Piaget believed that children go through four distinct stages of cognitive development, starting with the
sensorimotor stage and ending with the formal operational stage. Each stage is marked by changes in the
child's thinking and problem-solving abilities.

Another important aspect of child psychology is language development. Children learn language through a
variety of processes, including imitation, reinforcement, and social interaction. It is important for parents
and caregivers to provide children with opportunities to develop their language skills and to engage in
conversation with them.

Socialization is also a key aspect of child psychology. Children learn social norms and values through
interactions with their parents, siblings, and peers. It is important for parents to provide children with
positive role models and to encourage them to develop healthy relationships with others.

Emotional regulation is another important area of child psychology. Children must learn how to regulate
their emotions and behaviors in order to function effectively in society. Parents can help children learn
emotional regulation by modeling healthy coping strategies and providing a safe and supportive
environment.

Passage 8

Social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. Whether we are checking our Facebook feed,
scrolling through Instagram, or tweeting our thoughts on Twitter, social media has changed the way we
communicate and interact with others. While social media has its benefits, such as helping us stay connected
with friends and family, it also has its downsides.

One of the biggest downsides of social media is its impact on mental health. Studies have shown that social
media use can lead to increased feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. This is due to several factors,
including the pressure to present a perfect image of oneself online, the fear of missing out (FOMO), and the
constant barrage of negative news and information.
Another negative impact of social media is its effect on productivity. With so many distractions at our
fingertips, it can be difficult to focus on tasks and get work done. Social media can also lead to
procrastination and a lack of motivation.

Despite these negative effects, social media also has its benefits. It allows people to connect with others
from around the world, share ideas and information, and stay informed about news and events. Social media
can also be a powerful tool for activism and social change.

It is important to strike a balance when it comes to social media use. While it can be a useful tool for
communication and connection, it is important to be mindful of its negative effects and to take steps to
mitigate them.

6.Plants, animals, fungi, slime moulds, protozoa, and algae are all eukaryotic. These cells are about
fifteen times wider than a typical prokaryote and can be as much as a thousand times greater in
volume. The main distinguishing feature of eukaryotes as compared to prokaryotes
is compartmentalization: the presence of membrane-bound organelles (compartments) in which
specific activities take place. Most important among these is a cell nucleus, an organelle that
houses the cell's DNA. This nucleus gives the eukaryote its name, which means "true kernel
(nucleus)". Other differences include:

• The plasma membrane resembles that of prokaryotes in function, with minor differences in the
setup. Cell walls may or may not be present.
• The eukaryotic DNA is organized in one or more linear molecules, called chromosomes, which
are associated with histone proteins. All chromosomal DNA is stored in the cell nucleus,
separated from the cytoplasm by a membrane. Some eukaryotic organelles such
as mitochondria also contain some DNA.
• Many eukaryotic cells are ciliated with primary cilia. Primary cilia play important roles in
chemosensation, mechanosensation, and thermosensation. Each cilium may thus be "viewed as
a sensory cellular antennae that coordinates a large number of cellular signaling pathways,
sometimes coupling the signaling to ciliary motility or alternatively to cell division and
differentiation.
• Motile eukaryotes can move using motile cilia or flagella. Motile cells are absent
in conifers and flowering plants. Eukaryotic flagella are more complex than those of prokaryotes.

Q1- Which of the following has a small volume?

a. Eukaryote Cell
b. Prokaryote Cell
c. Nucleoid
d. Endoplasmic Reticulum
Q2- Motile cells are present in –
a. Animals
b. Flowering Plants
c. Conifers
d. All the above
Q3- How does a prokaryotic cell differ from that of a eukaryotic cell?

Cell Membrane
7. The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is a double layer of lipids and
proteins that surrounds a cell and separates the cytoplasm (the contents of the cell) from its
surrounding environment. It is selectively permeable, which means that it only lets certain
molecules enter and exit. It can also control the amount of some substances that go into or out of
the cell. All cells have a cell membrane.
Function of the Cell Membrane
The cell membrane gives the cell its structure and regulates the materials that enter and leave the
cell. Like a drawbridge intended to protect a castle and keep out enemies, the cell membrane only
allows certain molecules to enter or exit. Oxygen, which cells need in order to carry out metabolic
functions such as cellular respiration, and carbon dioxide, a byproduct of these functions, can
easily enter and exit through the membrane. Water can also freely cross the membrane, although
it does so at a slower rate. However, highly charged molecules, like ions, cannot directly pass
through, nor can large macromolecules like carbohydrates or amino acids. Instead, these
molecules must pass through proteins that are embedded in the membrane. In this way, the cell
can control the rate of diffusion of these substances.
 Structure of the Cell Membrane

Phospholipids are a main component of the cell membrane. These are lipid molecules made up of
a phosphate group head and two fatty acid tails. The properties of phospholipid molecules allow
them to spontaneously form a double-layered membrane. When in water or an aqueous solution,
which includes the inside of the body, the hydrophilic heads of phospholipids will orient
themselves to be on the outside, while the hydrophobic tails will be on the inside.

Q1 Which of the following is NOT a component of the cell membrane?

Phospholipids
B.Sterols
C. Proteins
D. Nucleic Acids

Q2. The function of cell membrane is-

A. To regulate entry and exit of specific types of molecules
B. To regulate amount of certain molecules that enter and exit the cell
C. To receive signal molecules
D. All of the above

Q3. Which part of a phospholipid molecule is hydrophilic?

A. The phosphate group head
B. The fatty acid tails
C. Both A and B
D. Neither A nor B

Q4. Which other parts of a cell has the same chemical composition as the cell membrane?

11.5.

8. Neuron is a nerve cell that is the basic building block of the nervous system. Neurons are
similar to other cells in the human body in a number of ways, but there is one key difference
between neurons and other cells. Neurons are specialized to transmit information throughout the
body. These highly specialized nerve cells are responsible for communicating information in both
chemical and electrical forms.
There are three basic parts of a neuron: the dendrites, the cell body, and the axon. However, all
neurons vary somewhat in size, shape, and characteristics depending on the function and role of
the neuron. Some neurons have few dendritic branches, while others are highly branched in order
to receive a great deal of information. Some neurons have short axons, while others can be quite
long. The longest axon in the human body extends from the bottom of the spine to the big toe and
averages a length of approximately three feet!
Action Potentials
How do neurons transmit and receive information? In order for neurons to communicate, they
need to transmit information both within the neuron and from one neuron to the next. This
process utilizes both electrical signals as well as chemical messengers.
The dendrites of neurons receive information from sensory receptors or other neurons. This
information is then passed down to the cell body and on to the axon. Once the information has
arrived at the axon, it travels down the length of the axon in the form of an electrical signal known
as an action potential.

Q1. In what ways electric cell are similar to neurons?

Q2. How are the nerve cells different from other cells of the body?

Q3 In which part of neuron information transmits in the form of electrical signals?

Q4. Which part of a neuron receives messages from the cell?

(a)dendrites

(b)soma

(c) axon

(d) neuron cell
