studying about the work done by earlier scientists or their obsolete theories is useful for
student of this generation? Give three reasons. 2014

Ans: Yes , absolutely studying the works of the earlier scientists is very much useful as it gives the information
about the basis of classification like how organisms were classified and the different types of organisms present
in this environment. It also helps them to do further studies and find out what the drawbacks were in those
systems and how one can overcome those problems which the earlier scientists faced. By studying the works of
the earlier scientists researchers will be able to make a much better and a easy method of classification and will
be able to add new species according to their respective kingdoms .

Chapter: Why do we fall ill?
Example Fasciola (liver fluke)

Q1. What does the word health mean?


Ans: For our grandmothers, being able to go out to the market or to visit neighbours is .being well., and not
being able to do such things is .poor health.. Being interested in following the teaching in the classroom so that
we can understand the world is called a healthy attitude. While not being interested is called the opposite.
.Health is therefore a state of being well enough to function well physically, mentally and socially.
Q2. How does the health of an organism depend upon the surroundings?
Ans: Human beings live in societies. Our social environment, therefore, is an important factor in our individual
health. We live in villages, towns or cities. In such places, even our physical environment is decided by our
social environment. Consider what would happen if no agency is ensuring that garbage is collected and
disposed. What would happen if no one takes responsibility for clearing the drains and ensuring that water
does not collect in the streets or open spaces? So, if there is a great deal of garbage thrown in our streets, or if
there is open drain water lying stagnant around where we live, the possibility of poor health increases.
Therefore , public cleanliness is important for individual health.
Q3. What do we mean by disease?

Q1 State law of conservation of mass.


Ans The mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
Q2 State law of constant proportion.
Ans A pure chemical compound always consists of the same elements that are
combined together in a fixed proportion by mass.
Q4 Define atomic mass unit.
Ans The mass of one twelfth (1/12) of the mass of one atom of carbon taken as
12.
Q5 What are molecules?
Ans Molecules represents a group of two or more atoms(same or different)
chemically bonded to each other and held tightly by strong attractive forces.
Ans: Disease (disturbed ease) in other words, literally means being uncomfortable. However, the word is used
in a more limited meaning. We talk of disease when we can find a specific and particular cause for discomfort.
This does not mean that we have to know the absolute final cause; we can say that someone is suffering from
diarrhoea without knowing exactly what has caused the loose motion When there is a disease, either the
functioning or the appearance of one or more systems of the body will change for the worse. These changes give
rise to symptoms and signs of disease.
Q4. What are symptoms?
Ans: Symptoms of disease are the things we feel as being .wrong.. So we have a headache, we have cough, we
have loose motions, we have a wound with pus; these are all symptoms. These indicate that there may be a
disease.
Q5. How do you distinguish between acute and chronic diseases?
Ans: Some diseases last for only very short periods of time, and these are called acute diseases. We all know
from experience that the common cold lasts only a few days. Other ailments can last for a long time, even as
much as a lifetime, and are called chronic diseases. An example is the infection causing elephantiasis. Acute and
chronic diseases have different effects on our health. Any disease that causes poor functioning of some part of
the body will affect our general health as well. This is because all functions of the body are necessary for general
health. But an acute disease, which is over very soon, will not have time to cause major effects on general
health, while a chronic disease will do so. As an example, think about a cough and cold, which all of us have
from time to time. Most of us get better and become well within a week or so. And there are no bad effects.

Q5 What are molecules?
Ans Molecules represents a group of two or more atoms(same or different)
chemically bonded to each other and held tightly by strong attractive forces.
Q6. What are the various causes of diseases?
Ans: It is useful to think of the immediate causes of disease as belonging to two distinct types. One group of
causes is the infectious agents, mostly microbes or micro-organisms. Diseases where microbes are the
immediate causes are called infectious diseases. This is because the microbes can spread in the community, and
the diseases they cause will spread with them. On the other hand, there are also diseases that are not caused by
infectious agents. Their causes vary, but they are not external causes like microbes that can spread in the
community. Instead, these are mostly internal, non infectious causes.
Q7. Name some common infectious diseases
Ans: Common examples of diseases caused by viruses are the common cold, influenza, dengue fever and AIDS.
Diseases like typhoid fever, cholera, tuberculosis and anthrax are caused by bacteria. Many common skin
infections are caused by different kinds of fungi. Protozoan microbes cause many familiar diseases, such as
malaria and kalaazar. All of us have also come across intestinal worm infections, as well as diseases like
elephantiasis caused by different species of worms.
Q8. Explain the effect of antibiotic penicillin on bacterial cells.
Ans: Taxonomically, all bacteria are closely related to each other than to viruses and vice versa. This means that
many important life processes are similar in the bacteria group but are not shared with the virus group. As a
result, drugs that block one of these life processes in one member of the group is likely to be effective against
many other members of the group. But the same drug will not work against a microbe belonging to a different
group. As an example, let us take antibiotics. They commonly block biochemical pathways important for

bacteria. Many bacteria, for example, make a cell-wall to protect them. The antibiotic penicillin blocks the
bacterial processes that build the cell wall. As a result, the growing bacteria become unable to make cell-walls,
and die easily.
Q9. Why are human cells not affected by penicillin?
Ans: Human cells dont make a cell-wall anyway, so penicillin cannot have such an effect on us. Penicillin will
have this effect on any bacteria that use such processes for making cell-walls.
Q10.. Why are antibiotics ineffective against viruses?
Ans: Viruses have very few biochemical pathways of their own, and that is the reason why antibiotics do not
work against viral infections. If we have a common cold, taking antibiotics does not reduce the severity or the
duration of the disease. However, if we also get a bacterial infection along with the viral cold, taking antibiotics
will help. Even then, the antibiotic
will work only against the bacterial part of the infection, not the viral infection.
Q 11. How do communicable or infectious diseases spread?
Ans: Many microbial agents can commonly move from an affected person to someone else in a variety of ways.
In other words, they can be communicated, and so are also called communicable diseases. Such disease-causing
microbes can spread through the air. This occurs through the little droplets thrown out by an infected person
who sneezes or coughs. Someone standing close by can breathe in these Diseases can also be spread through
water. This occurs if the excreta from someone suffering from an infectious gut disease, such as cholera, get

mixed with the drinking water used by people living nearby. The cholera causing microbes will enter new hosts
through the water they drink and cause disease in them. Such diseases are much more likely to spread in the
absence of safe supplies of drinking water. The sexual act is one of the closest physical contact two people can
have with each other. Not surprisingly, there are microbial diseases such as syphilis or AIDS that are
transmitted by sexual contact from one partner to the other. However, such sexually transmitted diseases are
not spread by casual physical contact. Casual physical contacts include handshakes or hugs .sports, like
wrestling, or by any of the other ways in which we touch each other socially.
Q 12.How does AIDS spread?
An: Other than the sexual contact, the AIDS virus can also spread through blood-to-blood contact with infected
people or from an infected mother to her baby, by sharing of same syringe and having unprotected sex.
Q13. What are vectors? Name some vector transmitted diseases.
Ans: Many diseases will be transmitted by other animals. These animals carry the infecting agents from a sick
person to another potential host. These animals are thus the intermediaries and are called vectors. The
commonest vectors we all know are mosquitoes. In many species of mosquitoes, the females need highly
nutritious food in the form of blood in order to be able to lay mature eggs. Mosquitoes feed on many warmblooded animals, including us. In this way, they can transfer diseases from person to person. Eg. Malaria,
rabies.
Q14. The disease-causing microbes enter the body through different means. Where do they go then?. Do all
microbes go to the same tissue or organ, or do they go to different ones?

Q4 Define atomic mass unit.

Q5 What are molecules?
Ans Molecules represents a group of two or more atoms(same or different)
chemically bonded to each other and held tightly by strong attractive forces.
Ans: Different species of microbes seem to have evolved to home in on different parts of the body. In part, this
selection is connected to their point of entry. If they enter from the air via the nose, they are likely to go to the
lungs. This is seen in the bacteria causing tuberculosis. If they enter through the mouth, they can stay in the gut
lining like typhoid causing bacteria Or they can go to the liver,like the viruses that cause jaundice. But this
needn.t always be the case. An infection like HIV, that comes into the body thru the sexual organs, will spread
to lymph nodes all over the body. Malaria-causing microbes, entering through a mosquito bite, will go to the
liver, and then to the red blood cells. The virus causing Japanese encephalitis, or brain fever, will similarly enter
through a mosquito bite. But it goes on to infect the brain.
Q15. The signs and symptoms of a disease depend upon the tissue or organ targeted. Explain.
Ans: The signs and symptoms of a disease will thus depend on the tissue or organ which the microbe targets. If
the lungs are the targets, then symptoms will be cough and breathlessness. If the liver is targeted, there will be
jaundice. If the brain is the target, we will observe headaches, vomiting, fits or unconsciousness.
Q16.How does HIV damage our body?
Ans: In HIV infection, the virus goes to the immune system and damages its function. Thus, many of the effects
of HIV-AIDS are because the body can no longer fight off the many minor infections that we face everyday.
Instead, every small cold can become pneumonia.
Q17.How do we kill microbes?

are viruses, bacteria, fungi or protozoa. Each of these groups of organisms will have some essential biochemical
life process which is peculiar to that group and not shared with the other groups. We can use a drug, that
blocks the bacterial synthesis pathway without affecting our own.
Q18. What feature of our body protects us from catching infectious diseases?
Ans: The immune system of our body is normally fighting off microbes. We have cells that specialise in killing
infecting microbes. These cells go into action each time infecting microbes enter the body. If they are successful,
we do not actually come down with any disease. The immune cells manage to kill off the infection long before it
assumes major proportions.
Q19. Describe the principle behind vaccination.
Ans: By providing vaccination, we can .fool the immune system into developing a memory for a particular
infection by putting something, that mimics the microbe we want to vaccinate against, into the body. This does
not actually cause the disease but this would prevent any subsequent exposure to the infecting microbe from
turning into actual disease.
Q20. Name some diseases for which vaccines are available.
Ans: Many such vaccines are now available for preventing a whole range of infectious diseases, and provide a
disease-specific means of prevention. There are vaccines against tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough, measles,
polio and many others.

Ans. To some extent they are the same, because if the conditions that are essential for good health are
maintained, then automatically the chances of getting a disease will be minimized. But at the same time, we
can say that they are different because being health or good health means physical, mental and social wellbeing while being disease-free means not suffering from a particular disease(s).

Empirical formula :The empirical formula is the simplest formula for a compound in which atoms of
different elements are present in simple ratio. It shows the relative number of atoms of each element. For
example CH2O is the empirical formula of Glucose C6H12O6
Molecular formula : It is the formula in which the actual number of atoms of different element are
present. For example, if the empirical formula of benzene is CH where as molecular formula is C6H6 , etc.
An empirical formula is often calculated from elemental composition data. The weight percentage of each
of the elements present in the compound is given by this elemental composition.
Let's determine the empirical formula for a compound with the following elemental composition:40.00%

How and why elements combine and what happens when they combine. Antoine
L. Lavoisier laid the foundation of chemical sciences by establishing two
important laws of chemical combination.

in a chemical reaction.]
Example:
Water forms by the union of hydrogen and oxygen. If we weigh the reactants
(hydrogen and oxygen) before the chemical reaction, we find the weight of the
product (water) equal to the combined weight of reactants.
The weight of iron increases on rusting. The increase in weight is equal to the
weight of oxygen added to iron.
Carbon combines with Sulphur to form Carbon disulphide. The mass of reactants i.e.
carbon and sulphur is same mass of products (carbon disulphide).

The verification of the Law of conservation of mass by Landolt Experiment


H. Landolt was German Chemist. He proved the law of conservation of mass by
using an H-shaped glass tube. He filled silver nitrate in limb A and hydrochloric
acid in limb B. The tube was sealed and weighed before the chemical reaction.
The reactants were mixed by inverting and shaking the tube. A white precipitate
of silver chloride was formed along with Sodium nitrate . The tube was weighed
again. He found that there was no change in weight during the following chemical
reaction.
AgNO3 + NaCl

Q5 What are molecules?
Ans Molecules represents a group of two or more atoms(same or different)

In all the chemical reactions, energy is evolved or absorbed which would be at
the expense of change in mass. In ordinary chemical reactions, this change in
mass is so small that it cannot be registered on the most sensitive balance. This
suggests that some matter of the reaction mixture gets converted into energy
such as light, heat etc. Thus mass and energy are interconvertible. The mass is
converted to energy by Einsteins relation E = mc2.
(b) The law of constant proportions which is also known as the law of
definite proportions was stated by Proust in 1799 as In a chemical
substance the elements are always present in definite proportions by mass.
[The Law of constant proportions is the 6th postulate of Dalton's atomic theory.
The relative number and kinds of atoms are constant in a given compound.]

E.g. In a compound such as water, the ratio of the mass of hydrogen to the mass
of oxygen is always 1:8, whatever the source of water. Thus, if 9 g of water is
decomposed, 1 g of hydrogen and 8 g of oxygen are always obtained.
if the element A and B combine chemically to form the compound AB, then in
whatever manner AB is formed, it is always composed of same two elements A
and B combined together in the same fixed ratio or proportion by weight.

when two elements A and B combine to form more than one compounds,
then the weight of one is constant and the other has a simple ratio. [The Law of
