Q10. Give two uses of metals. (2 marks)
Ans: Making wires (copper), making utensils (aluminium).
Q11. What is crystallization? (2 marks)
Ans: Process of forming crystals from solution, e.g., salt from sea water.
Q12. What is puberty? (2 marks)
Ans: Onset of adolescence with body changes for reproduction (10–13 yrs).
Q13. How does sea breeze occur? (2 marks)
Ans: Land heats faster, hot air rises, cool sea air moves in (daytime convection).
Q14. What is distance-time graph? (2 marks)
Ans: Graph showing distance vs time. Straight line = uniform speed.
Q15. What is circulation in animals? (2 marks)
Ans: Transport of blood (oxygen, nutrients, waste) via heart & vessels.

Ans: Curved outward, forms virtual & diminished images (rear-view mirrors).
Q18. Explain the use of antacids. (3 marks)
Ans: Neutralize excess stomach acid (e.g., magnesium hydroxide).
Q19. What is heating effect of electric current? (3 marks)
Ans: Current through resistance produces heat (used in heaters, toasters).
Q20. Describe the reaction of metals with oxygen. (3 marks)
Ans: Metals + O₂ → Metal oxides (e.g., iron → rust; Al forms protective oxide).
Q21. How is baking soda made? (3 marks)
Ans: From sodium chloride, ammonia, CO₂ in Solvay process.
Q22. Why is balanced diet important in adolescence? (3 marks)
Ans: Provides nutrients, energy, immunity during rapid growth.
Q23. Explain radiation with an example. (3 marks)
Ans: Heat transfer without medium (e.g., heat from sun/hot iron).
Q24. Differentiate between speed and velocity. (3 marks)
Ans: Speed = scalar; Velocity = vector (magnitude + direction).
Q25. How does breathing occur in humans? (3 marks)
Ans: Inhalation (diaphragm contracts), Exhalation (diaphragm relaxes).
Q26. Explain saprophytic nutrition with example. (3 marks)
Ans: Feeding on dead matter, e.g., fungi, mushrooms.
Q27. How do plane mirrors form images? (3 marks)
Ans: Form virtual, erect, same-size image behind mirror.

(c) Leads to testable hypotheses for experiments.
Q30. (a) What is pH? (5 marks)
(b) Explain acid rain.
(c) Why is it harmful?
Ans: (a) pH = measure of acidity/basicity (0–14 scale).
(b) Acid rain = rain pH < 5.6 due to SO₂, NO₂.
(c) Damages soil, buildings, aquatic life.
