Question
Explain the process of spore formation.
✓
Answer
(i) Spore formation is a method of asexual reproduction in fungi like mucor.
(ii) Mucor has filamentous body and sporangia which produce spores.
(iii) Once the spores are formes, sporangia burst and spores are released.
(iv) Spores germinate in moist and warm place and new fungal colony is formed.

We know that the force of gravity due to the earth acts on each and every object. When we were holding the stone in our hand, the stone was experiencing this force, but it was balanced by a force that we were applying on it in the opposite direction. As a result, the stone remained at rest. Once we release the stone from our hands, the only force that acts on it is the gravitational force of the earth and the stone falls down under its influence. Whenever an object moves under the influence of the force of gravity alone, it is said to be falling freely. Thus the released stone is in a free fall. In free fall, the initial velocity of the object is zero and goes on increasing due to the acceleration due to the gravity of the earth. During free fall, the frictional force due to air opposes the motion of the object and a buoyant force also acts on the object. Thus, true free fall is possible only in a vacuum.
1) Complete the following statement by choosing the right option.
The stone held in the hand is stable because on it __.
3) Why does the velocity of the object increase during the free fall?
4) Which type of force exerts on the object during free fall?
5) Why does free fall happen only in a vacuum?

1) Complete the following statement by choosing the right option.
The stone held in the hand is stable because on it __.
- two unbalanced forces are exerted.
- only the gravitational force of the earth is exerted.
- gravitational force of the earth is not exerted.
- two balanced forces are exerted.
3) Why does the velocity of the object increase during the free fall?
4) Which type of force exerts on the object during free fall?

→- When one H atom of $C_3H_8$ is replaced by a $Cl$ atom.
- When one H atom of $C_3H_8$ is replaced by a $OH$ group.
- When one H atom of $C_3H_8$ is replaced by a $CHO$ group.
- When one H atom of $C_3H_8$ is replaced by a $COOH$ group.

Four metals P, Q, R and S are all obtained by the reduction of their oxides with carbon. Metal P is used to form a thin layer over the sheets of metal S to prevent its corrosion. Metal Q is used for electroplating tiffin boxes made of metal S whereas metal R is used in making car batteries. Metals Q and R form an alloy called solder. What are metals P, Q, R and S? How have you arrived at this conclusion?
Explain the characteristics of ionic compounds.
A liquid X of colour Y circulates in the human body only in one direction: from body tissues to the heart. Among other things, liquid X contains germs from cells and dead cells. The liquid X is cleaned of germs and dead cells by a special type of white blood cells called Z. This cleaned liquid is then put into blood circulatory system in subclavian veins.
- What is (i) liquid X and (ii) colour Y?
- What are Z.
- The liquid X is somewhat similar to a component of blood. Name this component.
- Why is liquid X not red?
