contain vaccine that act against bacteria like Vibrio cholerae, Escherichia
coli.
(4) If raw potatoes are consumed, then the immunity is generated against
cholera and the diseases caused by E. coli.

 (Note : Any 3 points of distinction are expected.)


(iii) (1) Disaster : The disaster shown is gas leakage. Primary action : First and foremost,
the windows and the doors will be opened immediately. We shall call the gas
agency customer care department for help. The lights and the electrical

equipment will not be turned off to avoid the accidents.


(2) Disaster : The disaster shown is heavy rains. Primary action : If the warning of
the heavy rains is broadcast then people staying in low lying areas should be
taken to the safe places. Schools and colleges are kept closed. If such students
or young children or sick persons are stranded anywhere, they should be helped

to reach their destinations before the rain starts.

(v) (1) 
Fossils : Fossils offer palaeontological evidence for the evolutionary process.
Due to some natural calamities the organisms get buried during ancient times.
The impressions and remnants of such organisms remain preserved
underground. The hot lava also traps some organisms or their impressions. All
such formations form fossils.
(2) Importance of fossils : Study of fossils help the researcher to understand the
characteristics of the organisms that existed in the past. In this way, study of
fossils unfold the evolutionary secrets.
(3) Finding the age of fossil : Carbon dating method helps in finding out exact age
of the fossil. According to the structure of earth’s crust the fossils are obtained
at specific depths. The oldest ones are obtained at the depth while the relatively
recent ones occupy the upper surface.
(vi) (1) IVF means In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).
(2) This is the technique in the modern medical field where childless couples can be
blessed by their own child.
(3) IVF technique is used for childless couples who are faced with problems such as
less sperm count, obstacles in oviduct, etc.
(4) The IVF technique is done by removing the oocyte from the mother and artificially
fertilizing by the sperms collected from father. This fertilization is done in a test-
tube. Thus it is also called test tube baby. The embryo formed is implanted in
uterus of real mother or a surrogate mother at appropriate time.
(vii) (1) All the basic needs like food, clothing and shelter should be satisfied.
(2) There should be good opportunities for education and employment.
(3) There should be good transport facilities.
(4) There should be good playgrounds and gardens.
(5) Criminals should be punished and the social safety should be enhanced.
(6) Political conditions and views of ruling party should be helpful for the public.
(viii) (1) Fruits are perishable food stuff. They are spoilt soon if not consumed immediately.
Hence for storage and usage for a long term, their preservation is absolutely
essential.
(2) For year-long use of the fruits they are dried, salted, packed in air tight containers,
used for preparing jams and jellies or condensed into pulps or syrups. Beverages,
pickles, sauce, and various other products made from the fruits are largely used
by us.
(3) The preserved products also fetch financial benefits.
(4) In national and international markets, Indian fruits like mangoes are in great
demand. We can get foreign currency through exports of fruits and fruit products.
(5) The local horticulturists get good benefit from their orchards.
(6) Processed fruit products also give vitamins and minerals that help in maintaining
good health. Thus fruit processing is important for human life.

Q. 4. (i) (1) Sulphuric acid present in acid rain causes metal erosion of statues, bridges and
buildings.
(2) Bacterial species such as Acidophilum sps. and Acidobacillus ferrooxidans use
sulphuric acid as source of energy.
(3) These bacteria control soil pollution which is caused due to acid rain.
(4) Uranium salts are water soluble salts produced in nuclear power plants and in the
process of electrolysis.
(5) Geobacter bacteria prevent uranium salts from mixing with groundwater by
converting them into insoluble salts.
(ii) (1)
(a) Solar cells connected in series : (b) Solar cells connected in parallel :

(2) (a) Advantages :


  (i) While generating the power through solar radiations, no fuel is burnt.
 (ii) Solar energy generation thus does not create any type of pollution. The
technology can be completely utilized in regions with abundant sunlight.
(iii) Solar energy is eco-friendly, green energy.
(b) Limitations :
  (i) Sunlight is available only during day time. Thus solar cells can generate
power only during day.
 (ii) In rainy season and in cloudy conditions, solar power generation suffers.
(iii) The power present in the solar cells is DC while most of the domestic
equipments work on AC.
