We commonly call ATP as the energy currency of the cell. Can you think of some other energy carriers present in a cell? Name any two.

Why is it termed as the 'Energy currency' of the cell?

Name the longest cell present in you body.

Explain with the help of a diagram - ATP is called as the energy currency of the cell. OR Explain the importance of ATP in a cell with a diagram.

Read the paragraph and answer the questions given below it. The cells of the nervous tissue become excited on receiving stimuli and conduct that excitation from one part of the body to another. The cell body containing the cytoplasm and nucleus is the main part of each nerve cell. Numerous, small, branched fibres called dendrites arise from the cell body of the nerve cell. One of the fibres is extremely long, it is called the axon. Numerous nerve cells are bound by connective tissue to form a nerve. Nervous tissue is present in the brain, spinal cord and the network of nerves spread all through the body. In most of the animals, response to stimuli occurs duc to the integrated functioning of the nervous and muscular tissue. How can stimuli at one end of the body generate an impulse in the brain?

Answer the following questions:Make two sufficiently long, identical tubes out of a cardboard. Arrange them on a table, in front of a wall as shown in figure . Place a clock near the end of one of the tubes and try to hear the ticking of the clock at the end of the other tube by placing your ear there. Adjust the angles of the two tubes till you can hear the sound very clearly Measure the angle of incidence theta_1 and the angle of reflection theta_2 . Try to see if they are related in any way. In the experiment, what will happen if you lift one of the tubes to some height?

Diagram-based questions : Sketch and label the diagram to show ATP-the energy currency of the cell.

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions: If heat is exchanged between a hot and cold object, the temperature of the cold object goes on increasing due to gain of energy and the temperature of the hot object goes on decreasing gue to loss of energy. The change in temperature continues till the temperatures of both the objects attain the same value. In this process, the cold object gains heat energy and the hot object loses haet energy. If the system of both the objects is isolated from the environment by keeping it inside a heat resistance box (meaning that the energy exchange takes place between the two objects only ), then no energy can flow from inside the box or come into the box. How will you state the principle briefly?

Paragraph based question Read the following paragraphs and answer the questions based on it. After the death of apex consumers, their energy becomes available to the decomposers. Fungi and other micro-organisms decompose the bodies of dead animals. They are called decomposers. In the process of obtaining food from the remains of organisms, decomposers convert them into simple carbon compounds. These substances easily mix with air, water and soil from where they are again absorbed by plants and incorporated into the food chain. Name the decomposers. Where are they found?
