17. Full-time residents at high altitudes need supplementary oxygen at high altitudes, so their bodies
evolve into carrying more red blood cells (RBCs)
18. Take a rectangular piece of iron bar. Take a bar magnet and keep in contact with one of its poles
with one edge of the bar of iron. Without lifting the bar magnet, move it along the length of the iron bar
till you reach the other end. Lift the magnet and bring the pole (the same pole you started with) to the
same point of the iron bar from which we began. Move the magnet again along the iron bar in the same
direction as you did before. Repeat this process about 30-40 times.
19. a. If oxygen disappeared then
Everyone at the beach would get sunburn. Ozone is molecular oxygen, and blocks the majority of
UV light.
every airplane taking off from a runway would likely crash to the ground, while planes in flight
could glide for some time.
All pieces of untreated metal would instantly spot weld to each other.
Everyone's inner ear would explode.
Every building made out of concrete would turn to dust.
19. b. If Carbon dioxide disappeared then
Plants and photosynthetic life would cease photosynthesis because CO2 is essential to this
process.
The greenhouse effect of CO2 would be lost.
The oceans would rise in pH, because the oceans act as a giant buffer for CO2 in the
atmosphere. This would potentially upset the balance of the entire world's marine ecosystems.
Without a buffer of CO2 in the atmosphere, the pH and cellular functions of many land animals
would be severely disrupted or cease. This would include humans too.
20. Packaging increases the amount of garbage as we keep on throwing the packaging materials at
improper places. Also, most of the packaging materials are plastic based which are non-recyclable and
cannot be properly degraded. These wastes get into drains and block them, creating poolution.
