Read the following and answer any four (i) questions from (i) to (v). Baking powder produces carbon dioxide ‘on heating, so that the batter becomes spongy in cooking. Baking soda also produced CO, on heating, but it is not used for cooking because on heating, baking soda forms sodium carbonate along with CO,. Sodium carbonate which formed, makes the taste bitter. Baking powder is the mixture of baking soda and a mild edible acid. Tartaric acid is generally mixed with baking soda to make baking powder. On heating, NaHCO, decomposes to give CO, which makes bread and cake fluffy. Tartaric acid helps to remove bitter taste due to formation of sodium tartrate. 2NaHCO, +C,H,O, —> 2CO, +2H,0 +Na,C,H,O, What will be produced if excess of CO, is passed in aqueous solution of sodium carbonate?

Read the following and answer any four questions from (j) to (v). Light of all the colours travels at the same speed in vacuum for all wavelengths. But in any transparent medium (glass or water), the light of different colours travels with ditterent speeds for different wavelengths. That means the refractive index of a particular medium is different for different wavelengths. As there is a difference in their speed, so the light of different colours bend through different angles. The speed of violet colour is maximum and speed of red colour is minimum in glass. So, the red light deviates least and violet light most. Hence, higher the wavelength of a certain colour of light, small the refractive index and less will be the bending of light. Also, frequency, v a (i) Which of the following statement is correct regarding the propagation of light of different colours of white light in air?

Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v). Nutrition is the process by which an organism obtains nutrients from food and utilises them to obtain energy and also for repairing it tissues. Thus, nutrients become substances which are required for proper growth and maintenance of a living being, However, not all living organisms obtain food by the same process. The mode of nutrition wherein organisms synthesize their food from simple inorganic compounds like CO, and water, in the presence of sunlight is called autotrophic mode of nutrition. It is followed by green plants and some bacteria. In heterotrophic mode of nutrition, organisms which cannot produce their ‘own food (heterotrophs) obtain their energy from organic molecules synthesised by the plants. Heterotrophic nutrition is of three types—saprophytic, parasitic and holozoic. In which of the following organisms does the food material get broken down outside the body prior to absorption? (a)Mushroom, green plants, Amoeba (b) Yeast, mushroom, bread mould (c) Paramecium, Amoeba, Cuscuta (0) Cuscuta, lice, tapeworm (ii) Which of the following is a parasite? (a) Yeast (c)Amoeba (b) Toenio {d) Earthworm (iii) Which among the following shows saprotrophic mode of nutrition, {a}Grass. (c)Amoeba {b) Mushroom (d) Paramecium iv) What does heterotrophic nutrition involve? (a) Production of simple sugar from inorganic compound (b) Utilisation of energy obtained by plants {c) Utilisation of chemicel energy to prepare food {d) All of the above (v) In Paramecium, food enters the body via fa}cilia (b) pseudopodia {c) mouth (d)cytostome
