C. READING COMPREHENSION (FACTUAL)
1. Overweight and obesity are affecting many countries in the world. More than 300 million
people are overweight or obese. In India, some people tent to me overweight because of their
high-calorie diet and lack of physical activities. In the United States, obesity is more prevalent
in the lower economic groups. Obesity is now well-recognized as a disease in its own right.
Though obesity commonly means being overweight, it is medically defined as an excess
amount of body fat. Some people, such as bodybuilders or other athletes with a lot of muscle,
can be overweight without being obese.
2. Women have more body fat than men. Usually, men with more than 25% body fat and
women with more than 30% body fat are regarded as obese. Obesity occurs when a person
consumes more calories than he or she burns.
3. Obesity tends to run in families, suggesting a genetic cause.Environmental factors refer to
lifestyle behaviors such as what a person eats and his or her level of physical activities.
Although you cannot change your genetic makeup, you can change your eating habits and
levels of activity. You can learn how to choose more nutritional meals which are low in fat and
become more active.
4. Then there are the physical factors. Negative emotions such as boredom, sadness and anger
respond to people who overeat. There is also ‘binge- eating’, when people eat large amount of
food thinking that they cannot control how much they are eating. Those with the most severe
binge - eating problems are also likely to have symptoms of depression and low self- esteem.
5. Obesity is health hazard. Several serious medical conditions have been linked to obesity,
including Type -2 Diabetes, heart diseases, high blood pressure and strokes. Obesity is linked
to higher rates of certain types of cancer. Other diseases and health problems linked to obesity
include gall bladder diseases and gallstones, liver diseases and deterioration of joints.
6. The benefits of exercise are much more than any other way of losing weight. Not only does
exercise help you lose weight but it also improves your fitness and flexibility and improves
skin texture. Exercises also free one from the harmful side-effects of crash dieting, slimming
capsules and the heat treatment used by slimming centres.
On the basis of your understanding of the passage attempt questions that follow.

Biology
1. Two green plants are kept separately in oxygen-free containers, one in the dark and the
other in sunlight. It was observed that plants kept in the dark could not survive longer.
Give a reason for this observation.
Ans: The plant kept in the dark could not survive longer because it will not be able to produce the
oxygen required for its respiration by the process of photosynthesis. Oxygen is evolved as the
byproduct of photosynthesis during the photolysis of water and helps plants to survive longer
than is kept in sunlight.
2. List the events that take place during the process of photosynthesis in the proper
sequence.
Ans: The three events that occur during the process of photosynthesis are;
(i) Absorption of light energy by chlorophyll.
(ii) Conversion of light energy to chemical energy (in the form of ATP and NADPH) and splitting
of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.
(iii) Reduction of carbon dioxide to carbohydrates (carbon assimilation).
Page 23 of 41
5. With the help of an activity, explain the action of saliva on the food we eat.
Ans: The action of saliva on the food we eat is explained with the help of activity as follows: Take
two test tubes, A and B. In test tube A, put one teaspoon full of boiled rice, and in test tube B,
keep one teaspoon full of boiled rice after chewing it for 3 to 5 minutes. Add 3.4 mL of water in
both test tubes and add a few drops of iodine solution to each test tube. In test tube A, the
colour of the rice changes because of the absence of any enzyme, while in test tube B, no
colour change is observed because when rice is chewed, the amylase enzyme present in saliva
breaks down the starch of rice to simple sugars.
Page 24 of 41
9. State the role played by the following in the process of digestion:
(i) Enzyme trypsin
(ii) Enzyme lipase
Ans. (i) Enzyme trypsin: This enzyme is produced by the pancreas in an inactive form called
trypsinogen.
Trypsin converts the remaining proteins into peptones, and the peptones into peptides and
amino acids.
(ii) Enzyme lipase: It is secreted by the pancreas and small intestine. Lipase converts fats into
fatty acids and glycerol.
10. In the process of respiration, state the function of alveoli.
Ans: Functions of alveoli are:
(i) They increase the surface area for the exchange of gases.
(ii) The thin walls of alveoli facilitate the rapid exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between
alveolar air and blood.
11. The rate of breathing in aquatic organisms is much faster than that in terrestrial
organisms. Give reasons.
Ans Aquatic animals like fishes obtain dissolved oxygen from water present through their gills. The
amount of dissolved oxygen is quite small compared to the amount of oxygen in the air.
Therefore, to obtain the required amount of oxygen from water, aquatic animals have to
breathe much faster than terrestrial organisms.
12. (a) Write the reaction that occurs when glucose breaks down anaerobically in yeast.
(b) Write the mechanism by which fishes breathe in water.
(c) Name the balloon-like structures present in the lungs. List its two functions.

lungs, diaphragm and alveolar sac on it.
B) Draw a diagram of the human digestive system and label it –
Ans.
16. What will happen if mucus is not secreted by the gastric glands
Ans. Gastric glands secrete HCI, mucus, renin, and pepsin enzymes. The mucus protects the inner
lining of the stomach from the action of acidic HCI and enzymes. In the absence of mucus,
there would be erosion of the inner lining of the stomach, leading to acidity and ulcers.
17. Name the process and explain the type of nutrition found in green plants. List the raw
materials required for this process. Give a Chemical equation for the mentioned
process.
Ans. Photosynthesis is the process where green plants show autotrophic nutrition. The raw
materials required for photosynthesis are carbon dioxide water, and energy in the form of
sunlight.
The equation is as follows:
Page 26 of 41
18. Diffusion is insufficient to meet the oxygen requirement of multicellular organisms like
humans. State reason.
Ans: Due to the higher metabolic rate and the large volume of the body, oxygen cannot diffuse into
all cells of the human body quickly as oxygen will have to travel large distances to reach each
and every cell. So, diffusion is insufficient to meet the oxygen demand of multicellular
organisms.
19. What causes the movement of food inside the alimentary canal in human beings?
Ans: The movement of food within the alimentary canal is mostly caused by peristalsis. Peristalsis
is the rhythmic contraction and relaxation of muscles of the alimentary canal to push the food
downward.
20. Complete the following pathway showing the aerobic breakdown of glucose.
21. Write three points of difference between breathing and respiration.
Ans: Differences between breathing and respiration are as follows:
Page 27 of 41
23. Describe the process of nutrition in the amoeba with the help of a diagram.
Ans: Amoeba is a unicellular eukaryotic organism that exhibits a holozoic mode of nutrition. Five
steps are involved in this mode of nutrition:
Ingestion: Amoeba feeds on microscopic organisms. It takes in food using finger-like
projections called pseudopodia. It encircles the food and engulfs or ingests it by a process
called phagocytosis. The food comes to lie in a vesicle called a phagosome or food vacuole.
Digestion: A lysosome fuses with a phagosome, and complex substances are broken down
into simpler ones. Such a type of digestion that occurs within a cell is referred to as
Intracellular digestion. The digested food then diffuses into the cytoplasm.
Absorption and Assimilation: The digested food that has diffused into the cytoplasm is
quickly absorbed by the organism and converted into various constituents of protoplasm.
Egestion: The undigested food material reaches the rear end of the organism and is thrown
out by the process of exocytosis. The membrane of the vesicle fuses with the surface
membrane.
Page 28 of 41
26. Define the term parasite. Name one plant parasite and one animal parasite. Some
organisms break down the food material outside the body and then absorb it. Give two
examples.
Ans: Parasites are organisms that obtain nutrients from the bodies of other living organisms and
harm them as a result.
(i) Plant parasite - cuscuta
(ii) Animal parasite - Tapeworm
Organisms that break down food outside the body and then absorb it are saprophytes.
Example: fungi, bacteria.

Q. 12. Explain how AI works in the following areas (any two):
a. Google Search Engine
b. Voice Assistants
c. E-commerce websites
A. a. Google Search Engine: With the help of AI, Google Search Engine has been turned into
Intelligent search which is a new network of systems that produces direct answers. It uses
voice and image searches and has incorporated deep learning to fasten the searches with more
accuracy.
b. Voice assistant: AI is being used in voice assistants to recognize words spoken by the user.
NLP has capabilities like “Speech-to-Text” convert the natural language of the user into text
for further processing. As the digital assistant answers more and more queries, it “learns”
using ML algorithms. The more tasks it performs, its ML algorithms help it “learn” from the
tasks and the preferences of the user. As a result, the digital assistant improves its
performance over time.
c. E-commerce website: With the use of big data, AI in E-Commerce is impacting customer
choices by recording the data of previous purchases, searched products, and online browsing
habits. Product recommendations provide multiple benefits for E-commerce retailers
including: Higher number of returning customers.

Q. 15 MATPLOTLIB
Matplotlib is a Python library used for Data Visualization. Data Visualization is an essential
component of data sciences.
import matplotlib as mp1
You can create bar-plots, scatter-plots, histograms and a lot more visualizations with
Matplotlib.
Q. 16 Data Visualization
Data Visualization basically refers to the graphical or visual representation of information and
data using visual elements like charts, graphs, and maps etc.
For data visualization in python, the Matplotlib library’s Pyplot interface is used.
Pyplot is a collection of methods within matplotlib library which allows user’s to construct 2D
plots easily and interactively.
1. LineChart
A line chart or line graph is a type of chart which displays information as a series of data
points called ‘markers’
A line chart is created using plot() function.
2. BarChart
A bar chart or bar graph is a chart or graph that presents categorical data with rectangular
bars with heights or lengths proportional to the values that they represent.
With Pyplot, a bar chart is created using bar() and barh() functions.
3. ScatterPlot
The scatter plot is similar to a line chary, the major difference is that while line graph
connects the data points with a line, scatter chart simply plots the data points to show the
trend in the data.
Page 34 of 41
With Pyplot, a scatter chart is created using scatter () function.
4. PieChartA pie chart is a circular statistical graphic, which is divided into slices to illustrate
numerical proportion. With Pyplot, a pie chart is created using pie () function.
5. HistogramPlot
A histogram is atype of graph that provides a visual interpretation of numerical data by
indicating the number of data points that lie within a range of values.
With Pyplot, a histogram is created using hist () function.
6. BoxPlotChart A Box Plot is the visual representation of the statistical five number summary of
a given data set. With Pyplot, a boxplot is created using boxplot () function.

Q. 20 Draw the graphical representation of Classification AI model. Explain in brief.
Classification: The classification Model works on the labelled data. For example, we have 3
coins of different denomination which are labelled according to their weight then the model
would look for the labelled features for predicting the output. This model works on discrete
dataset which means the data need not be continuous. OR In classification, data is
categorized under different labels according to some parameters given in input and then the
labels are predicted for the data.
