Section – C
Case I :-
A mixture is composed of two or more types of matter that
can be present in different amounts . Mixtures are either
homogeneous and heterogeneous . Homogeneous a mixtures
are uniform in composition but heterogeneous mixtures are
not uniform in composition.
Different methodsq of separation are used to get individual
components from a mixture . Saeparation makes it possible to
study and use the individual components of a mixture.
Heterogeneous Mixtures can be separated into their
respective constituents by simple physical method like hand
picking , sieving, filtration that we use in our day to day life.
49. The separation of a mixture is done to:
(A) Maintain equal composition of substance
(B) Obtain a pure sample of a substance
(C) Make it homogeneous mixture
(D) All of the above
50. The mixture of ethyl alcohol and water can be
separated by:
(A) Distillation
(B) Centrifugation
(C) Filtration
(D) Chromatography
51. Which of the following technique is used by farmers
in village to purify food grains:
(A) Sieving
(B) Hand picking
(C) Winnowing
(D) All of the above
52. By filtration , which of the following mixture can be
separated?
(A) Sugar in water
(B) Milk in water
(C) Sand in water
(D) Oil in water
Case II :-
Every cell has a membrane around it to keep its own contents
separate from the external environment. Large and complex
cells including cells from multicellular organisms need a lot of
chemical activities to support their complicated structure and
function.
To keep these activities of different kinds separate from each
other, these cells use membrane bound little structure within
themselves . This is one of the featurefeatures of the
eukaryotic cells that distinguish them from prokaryotic cells.
53. Ribosomes are the centre for:
(A) respiration
(B) Protein synthesis
(C) photosynthesis
(D) fat synthesis
54. Double membrane is absent in:
(A) mitochondria
(B) chloroplast
(C) nucleus
(D) lysosomes
55. which of the following is not a membrane bound
organelle?
(A) Ribosomes
(B) Lysosomes
(C) ER
(D) Nucleus
56. Which is the largest cell organelle present in plant cell?
(A) mitochondria
(B) chloroplast
(C) nucleus
(D) Endoplasmic reticulum
Case III :-
Any change in the velocity of an object results in an
acceleration by increasing speed, decreasing speed or changing
direction . Yes, that’s right, a change in the direction of motion
results in an acceleration even if the moving object neither
speed up nor slowed down. That’s because acceleration
depends on the change in velocity and velocity is a vector
quantity ; one with both magnitude and direction.
Henc, acceleration occurs anytime an object’s speed increases
or decreases, or it changes direction.
57. Acceleration can be defined as rate of change of which
quantity?
(A) displacement
(B) velocity
(C) momentum
(D) inertia
58. Acceleration is a vector quantity . It indicates that its value
can be….
(A) positive, negative or zero
(B) always positive
(C) always negative
(D) zero
59. A falling Apple accelerates . Which of the following is
correct about its motion?
(A) negative and uniform
(B) positive and uniform
(C) positive and non uniform
(D) negative and non uniform
60. Which of the following is most likely not a case of uniform
circular motion?
(A) motion of the earth around the sun
(B) motion of a toy train on a circular track
(C) motion of a racing car on a circular track
(D) motion of hour’s hand on the dial of a clock
