Practice questions

Q1In photosynthesis by green plants, which pair is mainly taken in from outside and converted into carbohydrates in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll?

A Carbon dioxide and water
B Oxygen and nitrogen
C Starch and oxygen
D Protein and carbon monoxide
Explanation

Green plants are autotrophs. They take carbon dioxide and water from their surroundings and, using chlorophyll and sunlight, make carbohydrates that can be used or stored by the plant.

Q2Baking soda is used in some antacids mainly because it:

A is a strong acid that digests food faster
B is mildly basic and neutralises excess stomach acid
C kills all bacteria in the digestive tract
D turns stomach acid into common salt only
Explanation

Baking soda, chemically sodium hydrogencarbonate, is alkaline enough to neutralise excess acid. That is why it can provide relief from acidity when used appropriately in antacid preparations.

Q3Why are handles of many cooking utensils made of wood or plastic?

A They make the utensil chemically reactive
B They increase the boiling point of food
C They conduct heat faster than metals
D They are poor conductors of heat
Explanation

Metals conduct heat well, but wood and plastic are poor conductors. This is why they are commonly used for utensil handles to reduce heat transfer to the hand.

Q4What is produced around a straight conductor when electric current flows through it?

A A magnetic field
B A beam of white light
C Only a sound wave
D A layer of rust
Explanation

The magnetic effect of electric current means that a current-carrying conductor produces a magnetic field around it. This is the principle behind simple electromagnets and many electrical devices.

Q5Rusting of an iron nail mainly requires which condition?

A Only dry air
B Both air and moisture
C Only sunlight
D Only pure oil
Explanation

Iron rusts when it comes in contact with moist air. Keeping iron dry or coated prevents the simultaneous contact with water and oxygen needed for rust formation.
