SECTION -D (4X5=20M)
1.The part of leaf by which it is attached to the stem is called petiole. The broad, green part
of the leaf is called lamina. The lines on the leaf are called Veins. A prominent line in the
middle of the leaf is called midrib. The design made by veins in a leaf is called the leaf
venation. If this design is net-like on both sides of midrib, the venation is reticulate like the
leaves of mango, guava,neem.Inthe leaves of grass, you might have seen that the veins are
parallel to one another. This is parallel venation.

Que. 1) The middle line of the leaf is called ___.

a) Lamina

b) Petiole

c)Vein

d)Midrib

Que.2) ___ is the green part on the leaf?

a) Venation

b) Midrib

c) Petiole

d) Lamina

a) Parallel venation

b) Reticulate venation

c)Midrib

d) None of the above

Que. 4) What is venation in leaves?

Que. 5) Example of Reticulate venation in leaves?

b) whatdoes this prove to us?

c)what is the property of light called?

d) Light is a form of ___.

4.An electric bell consists of a coil of wire wound on an iron piece. The coil acts as an
electromagnet. An iron strip with a hammer at one end is kept close to the electromagnet.
There is a contact screw near the iron strip. When the iron strip is in contact with the screw,
the current flows through the coil which becomes an electromagnet. It, then pulls the iron
strip. In the process, the hammer at the end of the strip strikes the gong of the bell to
produce a sound. However, when theelectromagnet pulls the iron strip, it also breaks the
circuit. The current stops flowing through thecoil.

i) Which of the following appliances have an iron strip, a hammer, a contact screw and a
gong?

a) Electric bell b) Electric kettle c) Electric bulb d) Electric iron

ii) In an electric bell, which of these gets attracted to the electromagnet?

a) Hammer b) Soft iron strip c) Screw d) none of these.

iii) When electric current passes through a wire, it behaves like a magnet. This is the

a) Magnetic effect of current b) Electrical effect of current

c) Heating effect of current d) Optical effect of current

iv) Electric Bell works on the principle.

a) Electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy

b) Electrical energy is converted into sound energy

c) Mechanical energy is converted into sound energy

d) Sound energy is converted into electrical energy

v) An electromagnet is a ____ magnet.

SECTION-E (3X4=12M)

1.a)Four children measured the length of a table which was found to be about 2 metres.
Each of them used different techniques to measure it.

(i) Sam measured it with a half-metre-long thread.

(ii) Ana measured it with a 15 cm scale from her geometry box.

(iii) Reena measured it using her hand span.

(iv) Salim measured it using a 5 m long measuring tape.

Which one of them would get the most accurate length? Give a reason for your
answer.

b)Why couldn’t you measure the distance using an elastic measuring tape? What problems might
you have when telling someone about a distance you measured with elastic tape?
2.Answer the given questions:

a) Which gas is used by living organisms to live?

b) What process does the plants use to prepare their own food?

c)Why does all the oxygen of atmosphere not get used up though many organisms are
consuming it?
