Millions of people of the developing countries of the world are suffering from corneal blindness. They can be cured by replacing the defective cornea with the cornea of a donated eye. A charitable society of your city has organised a campaign in your neighbourhood in order to create awareness about this fact. Write one argument which you would give to motivate the people to donate their eyes after death.

Take a plant stem and with the help of your teacher cut into very thin silces or sections. Now, stain the slices with safranin. Place one neatly cut section on a slide and put a drop of glycerine. Cover with a slip and observe under a microscope. Observe the various types of cells and their arrangement. How many types of cells can be seen ?

Take a plant stem and with the help of your teacher cut into very thin silces or sections. Now, stain the slices with safranin. Place one neatly cut section on a slide and put a drop of glycerine. Cover with a slip and observe under a microscope. Observe the various types of cells and their arrangement. Can we think of reasons why there would be so many types of cells ?

Take a freshyl plucked leaf of Rhoeo. Strech and break it by applying pressure. While breaking it. Keep it stretched gently so that some peel or skin projects out from the cut. Remove this peel put it in a petri dish filled with water. Add a few drops of safranim. Wait for a couple of minutes and then transfer in onto a slide. Gently place a cover slip over it. Observe under microscope. Observation : A peel of Rhoeo leaf if mounted on the slide and observed under a microscope, it reveals the structure of a leaf. The cells of epidermis and stomata are seen when observed. Structure of a leaf : Outermost layer of the leaf is made - up of single layered cells called epidermis. Epidermis layer does not have intercellular spaces. The cells are flat, with outer and side walls thicker than the inner wall. Small pores, i.e., stomata are seen in the epidermal layer. Stomata help in transpiration and gaseous exchange. Desert plants have thicker epidermis for protection. In dry habitats, water loss is the critical problem. The entire surface of the plant is therefore covered over by epidermis. Aerial parts of the plant are covered by epidermal cells. They secrete water - resistant, waxy layer for the purpose of protection. Epidermal cells also protect the plant from mechanical injury and parasitic invasion of fungi. Think about which gas may be required for photosynthesis.

To check the pH of tap water and compare it with pH of the water in the local water body. Apparatus : Test tubes or beaker Materials : Universal pH indicator / litmus paper Procedure : implies Take water sample from tap of your home in a test tube. implies Add few drops of the universal indicator into the test tube containing tap water. implies Observe the water sample in the test tube for colour change. implies Test pH using a litmus paper, in the water sample placed in a beaker. implies Dip the litmus paper into the water in the local water body. implies Observe colour changes of the litmus paper. Observation : implies Test tube containing tap water, turns yellow colour with addition of pH indicator. implies Litmus paper does not show colour change with tap water. implies Water sample collected from pond shows red colour with pH indicator. Litmus paper turns red as it is dipped in water of local water body. Conclusion : The uncontaminated tap water is neutral while water of local water body is acidic. Can you say whether the water is polluted or not on the basis of your observations?

An eye can distinguish between two points of an object if they are separated by more than 0.22 mm when the object is placed at 25 cm from the eye. The object is now seen by a compound microscope having a 20 D objective and 10 D eyepiece separated by a distance of 20 cm. The final image is formed at 25 cm from the eye. What is the minimum separation between two points of the object which can now be distinguished?
