Give three features of cardiac muscles.
Features of cardiac muscles
(1) Heart muscles (cardiovascular muscles) are round and hollow, stretched and uninucleated.
(2) They are striated muscle fibres.
(3) They are compulsory muscles, and can't be constrained by us.
Diagrammatically show the difference between the three types of muscle fibres.
What does a neuron look like?
Draw a labelled diagram of a neuron.
Complete the table:
Where is apical meristem found?
What are the functions of the stomata?
How many types of elements together make up the xylem tissue? Name them.
What is a tissue?
Name the following.
(a) Tissue that forms the inner lining of our mouth.
(b) Tissue that connects muscle to bone in humans.
(c) Tissue that transports food in plants.
(d) Tissue that stores fat in our body.
(e) Connective tissue with a fluid matrix.
(f) Tissue present in the brain.
What are the constituents of phloem?
Which of the following has more inertia: (a) a rubber ball and a stone of the same size? (b) a bicycle and a train? (c) a five-rupees coin and a one-rupee coin?
State the universal law of gravitation.
Which of the following are matter?
Chair, air, love, smell, hate, almonds, thought, cold, cold-drink, smell of perfume.
A force of 7 N acts on an object. The displacement is, say 8 m, in the direction of the force (Fig. 11.3). Let us take it that the force acts on the object through the displacement. What is the work done in this case?
What is meant by a pure substance?
How does the sound produced by a vibrating object in a medium reach your ear?
In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.
sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water
What are canal rays?
State any two conditions essential for good health.
How is our atmosphere different from the atmospheres on Venus and Mars?
A bus decreases its speed from 80 km h-1 to 60 km h-1 in 5 s. Find the acceleration of the bus.
When will you say a body is in
(i) uniform acceleration? (ii) non-uniform acceleration?
During an experiment, a signal from a spaceship reached the ground station in five minutes. What was the distance of the spaceship from the ground station? The signal travels at the speed of light, that is, 3 × 108 m s-1.
Joseph jogs from one end A to the other end B of a straight 300 m road in 2 minutes 50 seconds and then turns around and jogs 100 m back to point C in another 1 minute. What are Joseph’s average speeds and velocities in jogging (a) from A to B and (b) from A to C?
What does the path of an object look like when it is in uniform motion?
What does the odometer of an automobile measure?
Under what condition(s) is the magnitude of average velocity of an object equal to its average speed?
Give reasons for the following observation:
The smell of hot sizzling food reaches you several metres away, but to get the smell from cold food you have to go close.
A freely falling object eventually stops on reaching the ground. What happenes to its kinetic energy?
What are the differences between broilers and layers and in their management?
