Direction: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:
Assertion: Bone and cartilage are connective tissue.
Reason: Blood is connective tissue in which plasma is the matrix.
  • a)
    Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A).
  • b)
    Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).
  • c)
    Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
  • d)
    Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Meera Rana answered
- Assertion (A): True. Bone and cartilage are types of connective tissue. They support and protect the body, with bone being hard and rigid, while cartilage is more flexible.
- Reason (R): True. Blood is indeed a connective tissue, and the plasma serves as its matrix, providing a medium for transporting nutrients, waste, and cells.
- The reason does not explain why bone and cartilage are connective tissues; it describes blood instead.

Thus, the correct choice is A: Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Direction: Some of the action like moving our limbs , fingers, moving neck etc. can be controlled by our will. These parts of body we can move by our own will but some actions like blinking of eyes, contraction and relaxation of heart are not controlled by our actions.
Q. Muscles which are found in Heart :
  • a)
    Smooth
  • b)
    Cardiac
  • c)
    Striated
  • d)
    All of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Radha Iyer answered
  • Cardiac muscles are cylindrical, uninucleated and branched involuntary muscles found in the heart.
  • Cardiac muscle tissue is one of the three types of muscle tissue in your body. The other two types are skeletal muscle tissue and smooth muscle tissue.
  • Cardiac muscle tissue is only found in your heart, where it performs coordinated contractions that allow your heart to pump blood through your circulatory system.

Direction: Study the given diagram of bacterial cell and answer the following questions.
Q. The parts (1), (2) and (3) are
  • a)
    Nucleoid, Cell wall, Plasma membrane
  • b)
    Plasma membrane, Cell wall, Nucleoid
  • c)
    Nucleoid, Plasma membrane, Cell wall
  • d)
    Cell Wall, Nucleoid, Plasma membrane
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

It is a gel-like matrix composed of water, enzymes, nutrients, wastes, and gases and contains cell structures such as ribosomes, a chromosome, and plasmids. The cell envelope encases the cytoplasm and all its components. Unlike the eukaryotic (true) cells, bacteria do not have a membrane enclosed nucleus.
The outer structure (1) is the cell wall.
Then the genetic data(2) is nucleoid.
The second layer(3) is the plasma membrane.

Direction: Study the given diagram and answer the following questions.
Q. Identify the diagram
  • a)
    Plant cell
  • b)
    Animal Cell
  • c)
    Bacterial Cell
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Swati Verma answered
Animal cells do not have cell walls because they do not need them. Cell walls, which are found in plant cells, maintain cell shape, almost as if each cell has its own exoskeleton. This rigidity allows plants to stand upright without the need for bones.

Direction: Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v).
Manish and Nitish are provided with mixture of camphor, common salt and soil by their teacher. The teacher has asked them to use the techniques of sublimation, filtration and evaporation to separate this mixture.
Q. Name one more substance which can be separated from a mixture by the process of sublimation
  • a)
    Common salt
  • b)
    Alum
  • c)
    Ammonium chloride
  • d)
    Both (a) & (c)
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Renuka Patel answered
And (c)

Q. What techniques are Manish and Nitish supposed to use to separate the mixture?
a) Sublimation, filtration and evaporation

Q. What is sublimation?
a) Sublimation is the process in which a solid directly changes into a gas without going through the liquid state.

Q. What is filtration?
a) Filtration is a process of separating solid particles from a liquid by passing it through a porous material.

Q. What is evaporation?
a) Evaporation is the process in which a liquid changes into a gas when heated.

Direction : In each of the following questions, a statement of Assertion is given and a corresponding statement of Reason is given just below it. Of the statements, given below, mark the correct answer as:
Assertion : Any two objects in the universe attract each other by a force called gravitation force.
Reason : The force of gravitation exerted by the earth is called gravity.
  • a)
    Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  • b)
    Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  • c)
    Assertion is true but reason is false.
  • d)
    Both Assertion and Reason are false.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Swati Verma answered
Gravitational acceleration is the acceleration of an object caused by the force of gravity from another object. In the absence of any other forces, any object will accelerate in a gravitational field at the same rate, regardless of the mass of the object. On the surface of the Earth, all objects fall with an acceleration of somewhere between 9.78 and 9.82m/s2 depending on latitude, with a conventional standard value of exactly 9.80665m/s2.
In a place on the earth, the acceleration due to gravity is constant because it is determined by the mass, and radius of the Earth and not the properties of the object.

Direction : In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:
Assertion : Number of gram-molecules of SO2Cl2 in 13.5 g of sulfuryl chloride is 0.1.
Reason : Gram molecular mass is equal to one gram molecule.
  • a)
    Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).
  • b)
    Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A).
  • c)
    Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
  • d)
    Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Kalyan Sen answered
Assertion: Number of gram-molecules of SO2Cl2 in 13.5 g of sulfuryl chloride is 0.1.
Reason: Gram molecular mass is equal to one gram molecule.

Explanation:
- The gram molecular mass of a substance is the mass of one mole of that substance. It is equal to the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in the molecule.
- The molar mass of SO2Cl2 can be calculated by adding the atomic masses of sulfur (S), oxygen (O), and chlorine (Cl).
- The atomic masses of S, O, and Cl are 32 g/mol, 16 g/mol, and 35.5 g/mol, respectively.
- Therefore, the molar mass of SO2Cl2 is (32 + 2 * 16 + 2 * 35.5) g/mol = 135 g/mol.
- Now, to find the number of gram-molecules of SO2Cl2 in 13.5 g, we divide the given mass by the molar mass.
- Number of gram-molecules = 13.5 g / 135 g/mol = 0.1 mol.
- Hence, the assertion is true.

Explanation of Reason:
- The reason provided is correct as the gram molecular mass is indeed equal to one gram molecule.
- A gram molecule is the amount of a substance that has a mass numerically equal to its molecular mass in grams.
- Therefore, the number of gram-molecules is equal to the mass of the substance in grams divided by its molecular mass in grams per mole.
- Hence, the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

Conclusion:
- Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
- Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A'.
