CBSE 7th Grade Chapter 17- Forest – Our Life Line

Answer these question

1. Question:  Explain how animals dwelling in the forest help it grow and regenerate.

Ans: Animals in the forest help it grow and regenerate in many ways like: Animals help in dispersal of sees. Micro organism supply nutrients for growth.  Many seedlings growing in a decaying heap on animal droppings.

2. Explain how forests prevent floods.

Ans: Forest absorb rainwater and allows it to seep naturally.its leaves and branches prevent rain to hit the ground directly.

3. What are decomposers? Name any two of them. What do they do in the forest?

Ans: The micro-organisms which convert the dead plants and animals to humus are known as decomposers like Fungi and bacteria. They  convert dead leaves and dead animals  into humus

4. Explain the role of forest in maintaining the balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Ans: During respiration plants and animals take in oxygen  and release carbon dioxde. During  photosynthesis plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. So plants help to maintain the oxygen and carbon dioxide balance in the atmosphere. This is why forests are called green lungs.

5. Explain why there is no waste in a forest.

There are several organisms and micro-organisms that live in the soil convert waste into usefull nutrients called humus. This is why there is no waste in forest.

6. List five products we get from forests?

Ans: We get several useful products from forests like wood, spices, gum, oils, honey, sealing wax, catechu, fodder for animals, medicinal plants etc.

7. What are the importances of forests?

Ans: Forests provide us with oxygen. They protect soil and provide habitat to a large number of animals. Forests help in bringing good rainfall in neighboring areas. They are a source of medicinal plants, timber and many other useful products.

8. What would happen if forests disappear?
or,
Why should we worry about the conditions and issues related to forests far from us?

Ans: the conditions and issues we have to face when  forests disappears are
 (a)Soil erosion: Trees in a forest hold soil with their roots. If trees are gone, soil will be washed away.
(b) Land slides: Without trees, land will be very unstable and easily down the slope
(c) Water pollution: Without tree roots holding the soil  in a forest, soil will run into the river.
(d) Temperature increase
(e) Loss of biodiversity: Plants and animals will lose their food and shelter
(f) Floods: Bald hills and mountains can no longer hold back sudden flows of water, which cause
floods.
(g) Increase in carbon dioxide: Depletion of forests results in increase in carbon dioxide, which will cause global warming.

9. Explain why there is a need of variety of animals and plants in a forest?

Ans: Animals and plants in a forest are dependent on the other for food. So there is a need of variety of animals and plants in a forest. Many food chains can be found in the forest like Grass→ insects→ frog→ snake→ eagle.

10.Fill in the blank:

(a) The insects, butterflies, honeybees and birds help flowering plants in ------.

(b) A forest is a purifier of ------------  and -----------------.
Air, Water
(c) Herbs form the ----------------- layer in the forest.

NCERT Activity Chapter 02 Acid Bases and Salt Class 10 Chemistry Activity 2.1 Indicator Acid Base Red litmus No Change Blue Blue Litmus Red No change Phenolphthalein Colourless Pink Methyl Orange Pink   Yellow Indictors are substance which change colour in acidic or basic media. Activity 2.2 There are some substances whose odour changes in in acidic or basic media. These are called olfactory indicators. Like onion vanilla, onion and clove. These changes smell in basic solution. Activity 2.3 Take about 5 mL of dilute sulphuric acid in a test tube and add few pieces of zinc granules to it. => You will observe bubbles of hydrogen gas on the surface of zinc granules. Zn + H2SO4 --> ZnSO4 + H2 => Pass the Hydrogen gas through the soap solution. Bubbles formed in the soap solution as Hydrogen gas it does not get dissolved in it

Class 10 Metal and Non MetalsChapter 03 NCERT Activity Solutions

X Class 10 NCERT Activity Explanation Class 10 Metals and Non Metals Activity 3.1 Page No. 37 Take samples of iron, copper, aluminium and magnesium. Note the appearance of each sample. They have a shining surface. Clean the surface of each sample by rubbing them with sand paper and note their appearance again. They become more shiny. => Freshly cut Metal have shiny surface Activity 3.2 Page No. 37 Take small pieces of iron, copper, aluminium, and magnesium. Try to cut these metals with a sharp knife and note your observations. They are very hard to cut. Hold a piece of sodium metal with a pair of tongs and try to cut it with a knife. Sodium can be cut easily with knife. Hence K and Na are soft metal cut with knife Activity 3.3 Page No. 38 Take pieces of iron, zinc, lead and copper try to strike it four or five times with a hammer. These metals are beaten into thin sheet on hammering. This property of metal is called malleability and metals are called malleable. Activity 3.4 Page

CBSE I NCERT 10th Numerical Problem solved Reflection and reflection of light

Q. 1. A concave mirror of focal length 20cm is placed 50 cm from a wall. How far from the wall an object be placed to form its real image on the wall?  Solution: V= -50 cm F= -20cm From mirror formula 1/u = 1/f – 1/v = -1/20+ 1/50 = - 3/100  U = - 33.3 cm Therefore, the distance of the object from the wall x =  50 – u X = 50 – 33.3 = 16.7 cm. Q.2. An object is placed at a distance of 40cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15cm. If the object is displaced through a distance of 20 cm towards the mirror, By how much distance is the image displaced? Answer: Here f = - 15 cm, u = - 40 cm Now 1/f = 1/u + 1/v Then 1/v = 1/f – 1/u Or V= uf/u-f =( - 40 x -15)/25 = -24 cm Then object is displaced towards the mirror let u1 be the distance object from the Mirror in its new position. Then u1 = -(40-20) = -20cm If the image is formed at a distance u1 from the mirror then v1 = u1f/u1-f = -20X-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. = - 20 x-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. Therefor
