Differentiate between parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma on the basis of their cell wall.
Parenchyma: The cells have slight cell dividers composed of cellulose.
Collenchyma: The cells have cell dividers thickened at the comers because of the gelatin statement.
Sclerenchyma: Their dividers are thickened because of lignin testimony.

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?
Explain, why is it difficult for a fireman to hold a hose, which ejects large amounts of water at a high velocity.
Why is sound wave called a longitudinal wave?
Compare the properties of electrons, protons and neutrons.
Give two practical applications of reflection of sound waves.
Write the distribution of electrons in carbon and sodium atoms.
If an atom contains one electron and one proton, will it carry any charge or not?
What are the two forms of oxygen found in the atmosphere?
What are the differences between amphibians and reptiles?
What is the momentum of an object of mass m, moving with a velocity v?
(a) (mv)2 (b) mv2 (c) 1⁄2 mv2 (d) mv
An object experiences a net zero external unbalanced force. Is it possible for the object to be travelling with a non-zero velocity? If yes, state the conditions that must be placed on the magnitude and direction of the velocity. If no, provide a reason.
