Q16. Why do sponges and hydra not have blood?

Ans. Animals such as sponges and hydra do not possess any circulatory system. The water in which they live brings food and oxygen as it enter their body the water carries away waste materials and carbon dioxide as it moves out.

Q17. Why valves present in veins?

Ans. Valves are present in veins to prevent back flow of blood in tissues.

Q18. Enlist the functions of blood.

Ans .

(i) It transports substances like digested food from the small intestine to the other parts.

Q.22. : Describe the function of the heart.

Ans: 1. Heart is triangular shaped organ. It is made up of cardiac muscles and is located between the lungs inside chest cavity.

2. It beats 60 to 80 times per minute throughout life. It pumps blood to all parts of the body. 

3. The heart has four chambers. The top chambers are called auricles (or atria) and the lower two chambers are called ventricles. 

4. The left chambers are completely separated from right side by a partition called septum. The chambers contain valves which allow the flow of blood in one direction only.

5. The right auricle receives carbon-dioxide rich blood from various parts of the body. The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs. Inside lungs, carbon-dioxide is exchanged with oxygen.

b. It removes waste from cell

c. It regulate body temperature

d. it protect body against infections

Q.27. What is the different scientific name of Blood cells?
Ans: RBC – Erythrocytes- It is disc shape and having colour pigment Haemoglobin which provide red colour. It transport oxygen to all part of body

WBC – leukocytes – It produces antibodies that protect us from disease causing micro organism.

Platelets: Thrombocytes - It help in clothing of blood

Q. 28.What is plasma. What are its functions?
Ans: Plasma contain 90% of water and rest are CO2 , hormone protein and glucose. it is yellow in colour. It removes co2 from cells and transport to lungs.It also carry urea from body cells to kidney.

Q.29. Explain form and function of urinary system in man?
Ans: Urinary system consists of Kidney, The ureters, the urinary bladder and the urethra.

The Functions of the Urinary System:

The kidneys regulate blood volume and composition, help to regulate blood pressure and pH,participate in red blood cell production and synthesis of vitamin D, and excrete waste products and foreign substances. The Nephrons tubule is the functional unit of the kidney.

The ureters transport urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder.

The urinary bladder stores urine and expels urine into the urethra,

The urethra discharges urine from the body.

Q.30. What is dialysis? Explain.

Ans: Dialysis is the artificial process of getting rid of waste and unwanted water from the blood by dialysis machines.

Dialysis machines contain a tank with solution of water glucose and salt. Patient’s blood allowed passing through solution for removal of waste. the cleaned blood pumped to vein. The dialysis continues till all blood has been purified.

Q.31. Write the two functions of kidneys.

Ans. Osmoregulation and excretion.

Q.32. How does osmoregulation control water and salt content of the body?
Ans: Water content is controlled by water loss from:
  • the lungs when we exhale
  • the skin by sweating
  • the body, in urine produced by the kidneys
Salt content is controlled by loss of ions from:
  • the skin by sweating
  • the body, in urine produced by the kidneys

Q.33. Differentiate between osmoregulation and excretion

Ans : Excretion is the elimination of metabolic waste products from the body.

Osmoregulation is regulating osmotic pressure of the body fluids by controlling the amount of water and salts in the body

Q.34 Why is heart known as the pumping organ of the human body?

Ans Heart is the pumping organs of a human body as it continuously act as a pump for transporting blood to all body parts. Heart pumps carbon-dioxide rich blood to lungs and oxygen rich blood to rest of the body.

Q.35 What is the significance of dividing heart into different chambers?
Ans. The division of heart into different chambers ensures that there is no intermixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. This ensures a better efficiency of circulation and transportation of oxygen.

Class 10 Metal and Non MetalsChapter 03 NCERT Activity Solutions

X Class 10 NCERT Activity Explanation Class 10 Metals and Non Metals Activity 3.1 Page No. 37 Take samples of iron, copper, aluminium and magnesium. Note the appearance of each sample. They have a shining surface. Clean the surface of each sample by rubbing them with sand paper and note their appearance again. They become more shiny. => Freshly cut Metal have shiny surface Activity 3.2 Page No. 37 Take small pieces of iron, copper, aluminium, and magnesium. Try to cut these metals with a sharp knife and note your observations. They are very hard to cut. Hold a piece of sodium metal with a pair of tongs and try to cut it with a knife. Sodium can be cut easily with knife. Hence K and Na are soft metal cut with knife Activity 3.3 Page No. 38 Take pieces of iron, zinc, lead and copper try to strike it four or five times with a hammer. These metals are beaten into thin sheet on hammering. This property of metal is called malleability and metals are called malleable. Activity 3.4 Page

CBSE I NCERT 10th Numerical Problem solved Reflection and reflection of light

Q. 1. A concave mirror of focal length 20cm is placed 50 cm from a wall. How far from the wall an object be placed to form its real image on the wall?  Solution: V= -50 cm F= -20cm From mirror formula 1/u = 1/f – 1/v = -1/20+ 1/50 = - 3/100  U = - 33.3 cm Therefore, the distance of the object from the wall x =  50 – u X = 50 – 33.3 = 16.7 cm. Q.2. An object is placed at a distance of 40cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15cm. If the object is displaced through a distance of 20 cm towards the mirror, By how much distance is the image displaced? Answer: Here f = - 15 cm, u = - 40 cm Now 1/f = 1/u + 1/v Then 1/v = 1/f – 1/u Or V= uf/u-f =( - 40 x -15)/25 = -24 cm Then object is displaced towards the mirror let u1 be the distance object from the Mirror in its new position. Then u1 = -(40-20) = -20cm If the image is formed at a distance u1 from the mirror then v1 = u1f/u1-f = -20X-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. = - 20 x-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. Therefor
