 The embryo is enclosed by the seed coat. It consists of cotyledons attached to the
primary axis which has rudimentary root portion called the radicle and a rudimentary
stem portion known as plumule.

transmutation.

(vii) T  he mass of an atom can be converted into energy. This is in accordance with
Einstein’s equation E = mc2. [E = Energy, m = mass, c = speed of light].
Using Einstein’s equation E = mc2 stability and reactivity of the elements and
molecules are deduced using modern atomic theory as well the usage of atom
as a source of energy is also known.
53. Manufacture of Ethanol: Molasses is dark coloured syrupy liquid left after the
crystallization of sugar from the concentrated sugar cane juice. Molasses still contain
sucrose and this sucrose is converted into ethanol by the following steps:
(i) Dilution : Molasses is first diluted with water to bring down the concentration of
sugar to about 8 to 10%.
(ii) Addition of ammonium salts : Molasses usually contains enough nitrogenous
matter to act as food for yeast during fermentation. If the nitrogen content of the
molasses is poor, it may be fortified by the addition of ammonium sulphate or

S
ammonium phosphate.

K
(iii) Addition of yeast : The solution from step (ii) is collected in large ‘fermentation
tanks’ and yeast is added to it. The mixture is kept at about 303K for a few days.
O
During this period, the enzymes invertase and zymase present in yeast, bring about
the conversion of sucrose into ethanol.

A

The fermented liquid is technically called wash.


R

(iv) Distillation of wash : The fermented liquid containing 15 to 18% alcohol and the
U

rest of water, is now subjected to fractional distillation. The main fraction drawn, is
an aqueous solution of ethanol which contains 95.5% of ethanol and 4.5 % of water.
S

This is called rectified spirit. The mixture is then heated under reflux over quicklime
for about 5 to 6 hours and then allowed to stand for 12 hours. On distillation of
this mixture, pure alcohol (100%) is obtained. This is called absolute alcohol.

PART - IV
54. (a) Newton’s first law of motion states that an object remains in the state of rest or
of uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change that state by an
applied unbalanced force.
Reason : We tend to remain at rest with respect to the seat, until the driver applies
brake to stop the motor car. With the application of brake, the car slows
down but our body tends to continue in the same state of motion because
of inertia. A sudden application of brake may cause injury to us by
collision with the panels in front.

55. Defects of vision : There are three common refractive defects of vision.
(1)  Myopia or near-sightedness : A person with myopia can see near by objects clearly
but cannot see the distant objects distinctly.
The image of a distant object is formed in front of the retina and not at the retina
itself.

(a) Far point of myopia eye (b) Myopia eye

(c) Correction of myopia eye

Hypermetropia or far-sightedness : A person with hypermetropia can see distant

objects clearly but cannot see near by objects distinctly.
O
This is because the light rays from a close by object are focussed at a point behind
the retina.

(3) Presbyopia : The power of accomodation of the eye usually decreases with ageing.
They find it difficult to see near by objects confortably and distinctly without
corrective eye-glasses. This defect is called presbyopia.
Defects be rectified :
(i) Myopia : This defect can be corrected by using a concave lens of suitable power.
(ii) Hypermetropia : This defect can be corrected by using a convex lens of appropriate
power.
(iii)  Presbyopia : Such defects are rectified using by-focal lenses. A common type of
by-focal lenses consists of both concave and convex lenses. The upper portion
consists of a concave lens. It facilitates distant vision. These days, it is possible to
correct the refractive defects like Presbyopia with contact lenses.
