Question based on paragraph While playing in a garden, Rahul noticed some ornamental plants. When he observed them carefully, he found some Powdery spots on the posterior surface of leaflets of plant. He was curious to observe the flowers or fruits of these plants, but he could not find any of these. What is the use of powdery spots Present on posterior surface of leaflets?

Read the paragraph and answer the questions given below : Reproduction is the process by which the living Species continues its existence. Lower organisms carry out asexual reproduction while higher plants and animals always show sexual reproduction. Plants reproduce asexually by methods such as fragmentation, vegetative propagation, budding, Spore formation. For sexual reproduction they form gametes. In animal kingdom, budding, fission of different types and parthenogenesis are some of the methods that do not require both the sexes. Though regeneration also forms new individual, it is not considered to be a reproductive process because. basically it is a repair process. The ability to regenerate is lost in higher phyla. In human beings it is restricted only to wound healing. Sexual reproduction is also undergoing lots of experimentation such as cloning which may make females capable of producing their own baby without intervention of any male. Answer the follolwing question. What are methods of reproduction in plants?

Diseases in humans can be prevented by administration of vaccines. Vaccines contain inactivated, killed / weakened pathogens that can be used as antigens to provide either permanent or temporary immunity against a specific pathogen or disease. Conventional methods of vaccine preparation include the use of completely or partially killed pathogens. These vaccines however posed a risk of causing disease in case of some persons. Biotechnological techniques provide alternative antigenic genes isolated in the laboratory that can be used to make pure forms of proteins that can be used as antigens to activate the immune system. Recent developments in this field include production of edible vaccines like transgenic potatoes. Consumption of raw potatoes is speculated to develop immunity against the pathogen. These edible vaccines are produced by inserting genes isolated from specific pathogens to produce the antigen in the plants. Based on the given paragraph answer the following questions. What is the main advantage of vaccines over antibiotics?

Read the following paragraph and answer the following questions given below it : Construction of a compound microscope : (i) Acompound microscope consists of a metal tube fitted with two convex lenses at the two ends. These lenses are called the objective lens ( the lens directed towards the object ) and the eyepiece ( the lens directed towards the eye ). Both the lenses are small in size , but the cross section of the objective lens has a short focal length . the focal length of the eyepiece is more than that of the objective lens . (ii) The metal tube is mounted on a stand . thr principal axes of the objective lens and the eyepiece are along the same line . The distance between the object and objective lens can be changed with a screw . It is possible to change the distance between the objective lens and the eyepiece. Working : (i) The object to be observed is illuminated and placed in front of the objective lens. slightly beyond the focal length of the objective lens. it's real , inverted and enlarged image is formed by the objective lens on the other side. (ii) This intermediate image lies with in the focal length of the eyepiece. It serves as an object for the eyepiece. The eyepiece works as a simple microscope . the final image is virtual, highly enlarged and inverted with respect to the original object . It can be formed at the minimum distance of distinct vision from the eyepiece . The final image is observed by keeping the eye close to the eyepiece. Use: This microscope is used to observe blood cells , microorganisms , etc. Where do you place the object to be observed with a compound microscope ?

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions given below it: The resistance of a metal falls when cooled below room temperature. Many scientists believed that the value of the resistance would become constant at some very low temperature, allowing the current to flow with little or no resistance. H. K. Onnes successfully liquefied helium in 1908 by cooling it to about 4 K. In 1911, while investigating the electrical property of very pure mercury. Onnes discovered that at a temperature of 4.2 kelvin, its resistance practically vanished. This new state, on account of its extraordinary property, is now called the superconducting state and the phenomenon is called superconductivity. A superconductor, below a certain critical temperature, offers almost zero resistance to a flow of current through it. Onnes also discovered that a superconductor exhibits persistent current: once set up, the current continues to flow for a very long time without an electric potential difference driving it and without significant loss. Superconductivity is used in many diverse areas, such as magnetically levitated trains, transmission of electricity, increasing speed of computers, in MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). Name the scientist who discovered superconductivity.
