The cell membrane is the outermost covering of the cell that separates the contents of the cell from
its external environment. It is made up of protein and lipid. It allows or permits the entry and exit
of some materials in and out of the cell. Some substances like carbon dioxide or oxygen can move
across the cell membrane by a process called diffusion. Osmosis is a special type of diffusion through
a selectively permeable membrane. Membrane bound structures called organelles are found in the
cytoplasm. Some organelles like mitochondria and chloroplast are bounded by two membranes.

Connective tissues are characterized by an abundance of intercellular matrices with relatively few
cells. Connective tissue cells are able to reproduce but not as rapidly as epithelial cells. Connective
tissues is a network that binds structures together, form a framework and support an organs and
the body as a whole, store fat, transport substances, protect against disease, and help repair tissue
damage. They occur throughout the body. Numerous cell types are found in connective tissue.
Three of the most common are the fibroblast, macrophage, and mast cell. The types of connective
tissue include loose connective tissue, adipose tissue, dense fibrous connective tissue, elastic
connective tissue, cartilage, osseous tissue (bone), and blood.

1. Read the paragraph given below and answer the questions that follow.
In this group, the plant body is differentiated into roots, stem and leaves and has specialised tissue
for the conduction of water and other substances from one part of the plant body to another. Some
examples are Marsilea, ferns and horse-tails. The reproductive organs of plants in all these three
groups are very inconspicuous, and they are therefore called ‘cryptogams’, or ‘those with hidden
reproductive organs’. On the other hand, plants with well differentiated reproductive parts that
ultimately make seeds are called phanerogams. Seeds are the result of sexual reproduction process.
They consist of the embryo along with stored food, which assists for the initial growth of the
embryo during germination.
A. Identify the group where plant body is differentiated into roots, stem and leaves and
vascular tissues are present.
These animals have a true vertebral column and internal skeleton, allowing a completely different
distribution of muscle attachment points to be used for movement. Vertebrates are bilaterally
symmetrical, triploblastic, coelomic and segmented, with complex differentiation of body tissues
and organs. They are divided into 5 classes

All viruses, for example, live inside host cells, whereas bacteria very rarely do. Viruses,
bacteria and fungi multiply very quickly, while worms multiply very slowly in
comparison. Taxonomically, all bacteria are closely related to each other than to viruses
and vice versa. This means that many important life processes are similar in the bacteria
group but are not shared with the virus group. As a result, drugs that block one of these
life processes in one member of the group is likely to be effective against many other
members of the group. But the same drug will not work against a microbe belonging to a
different group. Common examples of diseases caused by viruses are the common cold,
influenza, dengue fever and AIDS. Diseases like typhoid fever, cholera, tuberculosis and
anthrax are infections caused by different kinds of fungi.
a. Antigens
b. Antibodies
c. Antibiotic
d. Antipyretic
a. Virus

a) CO2 b) O2 c) N2 d) CO
9) Rhizobium helps in
a) Biological Nitrogen Fixation b) Photosynthesis c) Rainfall
d) Both b and c
Nitrogen gas makes up 78% of our atmosphere and nitrogen is also a part of many molecules
essential to life like proteins, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and some vitamins. Nitrogen is thus an
essential nutrient for all life-forms and life would be simple if all these life-forms could use the
atmospheric nitrogen directly. However, other than a few forms of bacteria, life-forms are not able
to convert the comparatively inert nitrogen molecule into forms like nitrates and nitrites which can
be taken up and used to make the required molecules. The ‘nitrogen-fixing’ bacteria may be free-
living or be associated with some species of dicot plants. Most commonly, the nitrogen-fixing
bacteria are found in the roots of legumes. Plants generally take up nitrates and nitrites and convert
them into amino acids which are used to make proteins. Some other biochemical pathways are used
to make the other complex compounds containing nitrogen.

Poultry farming is undertaken to raise domestic fowl for egg production and chicken meat.
Therefore, improved poultry breeds are developed and farmed to produce layers for eggs and
broilers for meat. The cross-breeding programmes between Indian (indigenous, for example,
Aseel) and foreign (exotic, for example, Leghorn) breeds for variety improvement are focused on
to develop new varieties for the following desirable traits—

solutions. Usually we think of a solution as a liquid that contains either a solid, liquid or a
gas dissolved in it. But, we can also have solid solutions (alloys) and gaseous solutions
(air). In a solution there is homogeneity at the particle level. For example, lemonade tastes
the same throughout. This shows that particles of sugar or salt are evenly distributed in
the solution. The components of a colloidal solution are the dispersed phase and the
dispersion medium. The solute-like component or the dispersed particles in a colloid form
the dispersed phase, and the component in which the dispersed phase is suspended is
known as the dispersing medium.A suspension is a mixture in which the solute particles
do not dissolve but remain suspended throughout the bulk of the medium. Particles of a
suspension are visible to the naked eye.

The cell membrane is the outermost covering of the cell that separates the contents of the
cell from its external environment. It is made up of protein and lipid. It allows or permits
the entry and exit of some materials in and out of the cell. Some substances like carbon
