Paragraph based Questions : Read the paragraph and answer the questions given below : Remediation is the process of removing dangerous or poisonous substances from the environment, or limiting the effect that they have on it. When any biological organism is used for remediation, it is called bioremediation. When plant species are used for the purpose of remediation, it is called phytoremediation. When any microbes are used then it is named as microbial remediation. The methods of such remediation have helped to clean the environment from toxic effluents, especially sewage and crude oil Dr. Anand Chakraborty, a scientist of Indian origin, has worked on Pseudomonas aeruginosa which have reduced the crude oil films into carbon dioxide and water. Why Dr. Anand Chakraborty’s work phenomenal?

Read the following extract and answer the questions that follow: A liberal view behind the concept of organ and body donation is that after death our body should be useful to other needful persons so that their miserable life would become comfortable. Awareness about these concepts is increasing in our country and people are voluntarily donating their bodies. Life of many people can be saved by organ and body donation. Blinds can regain their vision. Life of many people can be rendered comfortable by donation of organs like liver, kidneys, heart valves, skin etc. Similarly, body can be made available for research in medical studies. Many government and social organization are working towards increasing the awareness about body donation. ii) Name any four organs that can be donated.

Read the following statements and find out the incorrect statement. A. Ultimately all the food that is respired for life processes comes from photosynthesis. B. The energy released by oxidation in respiration is directly used for the life processes. C The carbon skeleton produced during respiration is used as precursors for biosynthesis of other molecules in cell. D. Plants, unlike animals, have no specialised organs for gaseous exchange but they have stomata and lenticels for this purpose. E. During oxidation within a cell, all the energy contained in, respiratory substrates is released free into the cell in a single step, which is trapped as chemical energy in the form of ATP.

Cellular respiration is the oxidation of foodstuffs for the production of energy. During aerobic respiration, complete oxidation of glucose takes place.Contradictor to this, glucose is incompletely oxidized durin anaerobic respiration . Many microbesare capacble of surviving anaerobically in environments that lack oxygen. Anaerobic respiration occurs via two steps,namely glycolysis and fermentation. The pyruvic acid formed during glycolysis is converted to organic acids or alcohols during anaerobic process. higher animals and plants, or seeds submerged in soil under water are capable ofperforming anaerobic respiration, when the oxygen levels are depleted .Even body cells like erythrocytes and mscle cells perform anaerobic respiration. How does anaerobic respiration occur in yeast?

Read the paragraph and answer the questions given below : Locomotion is considered as an important characteristics of the animals. However, animals belonging to Porifera are said to be sedentary. Every other phylum has typical locomotory organs. E.g. Nereis crawls with the help of parapodia, whereas earthworm buries in soil by setae. Spiders have four pairs of walking legs, crab has five while all insects have three pairs of walking legs. The walking legs are also called appendages. Starfish moves with the help of tube feet. Snails and bivalves use muscular foot for locomotion. Birds flying with their spread out wings and fish swimming with their fins, both have spindle-shaped body tapering at both the ends. While flying or swimming such body offers least resistance during locomotion. Mammals have two pairs of limbs while animals like snakes are limbless. Other animals belonging to the class of snakes also have very weak limbs.which make them creep on the ground. Answer the question: What are the locomotory organs in phylum Annelida?
