A scientist was studying the production of a protein that was released by an animal cell into a culture medium, she found that the protein only appeared in the culture medium after the added a few drops of a hormone to the cell. Before adding the hormone, she labelled the protein inside the cell with a fluorescent dye and looked at the cell under the lgiht microscope. The dye was seen in flattened sheets and tube. like structures throughout the cell, and in stacks of flattened sac-like structures. after adding the hormone, the dye was aslo seen as small dots clustered against the cell membrane, Which statement most likely explains these observations?

Reshma is the student of class X in a city school. One day she was sitting in the school garden with her friends during the recess. There was a tall tree at the edge of the garden having a large honeycomb attached to it. Some students were playing cricket in te school playground. Suddenly the cricket ball hit the honeycomb due to which a large numbr of honey-bees started flying here and there. Reshma was stung on her face by a honey-bee. The sting was so painful that Reshma started crying. She was immediately rushed to the science laboratory. One of her classmates Shanta gave her vinegar solution to rub on the stung area to get relief from pain. Another clasmate Amarjit, howerver, asked Reshma to rub baking soda solution on the stung area of face. On rubbing baking soda solution, Reshma felt a lot of relief from pain. (a) What kind of liquid is injected into the skin when a honey-bee stings a person? (b) Why did rubbing baking soda solution on the stung area of skin give relief from pain? (c) What type of chemical reaction takes place when baking soda solution is rubbed on the honey-bee sting area? (d) Why do you think rubbing the honey-bee sting area with vinegar could not give relief from pain? (e) Name one plant whose stinging hair on leaves inject a similar liquid to that injected by honey-bee sting and can be treated by rubbing baking soda solution? (f) What vaues are displayed by Amarjit in this episode?

Pavni's mother had just washed all the white clothes. She was telling her friend that the whiteness of white clothes was decreasing with every wash and even new white clothes appeared to be like old ones after a few washings. Pavni, who is a student of class 10, was listening to her mother's complaint. Pavni then went to the market and purchased a particular 'dye'. She asked her mother to dissolve a little of this dye in a bucketful of water and soak the washed white clothes in the solution of dye for some time. Pavni's mother did the same. After sometime, the clothes were taken out of the bucket, rinsed well and spread on clothes line for drying. Pavni's mothers observed that the whiteness of washed white clothes had increased a lot after applying a little of the dye. Pavni's mother did not know why on applying little of a certain dye to washed white clothes, their whiteness had increased manifolds. Pavni explained everything to her mother. (a) What could be the 'dye' applied by Pavni's mother to the washed white clothes by dissolving in water ? (b) What does the application of this dye make the washed white clothes look even more white (or shining white) ? Explain. (c) What values are displayed by Pavni in this episode ?

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: Some colloids are stable by their nature, i.e., gels, alloys, and solid foams. Gelatin and jellies are two common examples of a gel. The solid and liquid phases in a gel are interdispersed with both phases being continuous. In most systems, the major factor influencing the stability is the charge on the colloidal particles. If a particular ion is preferentially adsorbed on the surface of the particles, the particles in suspension will repel each other, thereby preventing the formation of aggregates that are larger than colloidal dimensions. The ion can be either positive or negative depending on the particular colloidal system, i.e., air bubbles accumulate negative ions, sulphur particles have a net negative charge in a sulphur sol, and the particles in a metal hydroxide sol are positively charged. Accumulation of charge on a surface is not an unusual phenomenon-dust is attracted to furniture surfaces by electrostatic forces. When salts are added to lyophobic colloidal systems the colloidal particles begin to form larger aggregates and a sediment forms as they settle. This phenomenon is called flocculation, and the suspension can be referred to as flocculated, or colloidally unstable. If the salt is removed, the suspension can usually be restored to its original state, this process is called deflocculation or peptization. The original and restored colloidal systems are called deflocculated, peptized, or stable sols. Why does a small amount of salt have such a dramatic effect on the stability of a lyophobic colloidal system? The answer lies in an understanding of the attractive and repulsive forces that exist between colloidal particles. Van der Waals forces are responsible for the attractions, while the repulsive forces are due to the surface charge on the particles. In a stable colloid, the repulsive forces are of greater magnitude than the attractive forces. The magnitude of the electrical repulsion is diminished by addition of ionized salt, which allows the dispersed particles to aggregate and flocculate. River deltas provide an example of this behaviour. A delta is formed at the mouth of a river because the colloidal clay particles are flocculated when the freshwater mixes with the salt water of the ocean (source: Sarquis, J. (1980). Colloidal systems. Journal of Chemical Education, 57(8), 602. doi:10.1021/ed057p602 ) Colloidal solutions are stable due to:

Colligative properties are the physical changes that result from adding solute to a solvent. These depend on how many solute particles are present as well as the solvent amount, but they do not depend on the type of solute particles, although do depend on the type of solvent.Osmotic pressure is a colligative property of solutions that is observed using a semipermeable membrane, a barrier with pores small enough to allow solvent molecules to pass through but not solute molecules or ions Transport in lants,survival of cells, killing of snails and slugs swelling of resin are some examples where osmotic pressure seems applicable in real life situations.
