OR
(B)The pressure of blood inside artery during contraction or ventricular systole is
called systolic pressure and pressure in artery during relaxation or ventricular 1
diastole is called diastolic pressure.
The normal systolic pressure is about 120mm of Hg and diastolic pressure is about 1
80 mm of Hg
23|This is an example of areflex action, which is an involuntary and immediate 1
response to stimulus (the hot object).
Reflex actions bypass the brain and are handled by the spinal cord. The sensory
nerves detect the stimulus and motor nerves send the signal to the muscles to react. 1

(B) Ability of the eye lens to focus nearby as well as distant objects on the retina
by changing the curvature or focal length of the eye lens is known as power of
accommodation.
Image distance in the eye is the distance between the eye lens and the retina and
it is fixed. As the object approaches from infinity towards the eye, the focal length
of the eye lens decreases (or vice-versa) so as to maintain the sane image
distance.
25 Given food chain is Plants ’ Decr - Tiger
Let plants have 20,000 J energy available.
According to 10% law, energy transferred to deer
10 X 20,000
= TOn
0.5
= 2000 J (B)
Thus, 18,000 J(A) of energy is lost in the form of
heat to the environment.
Similarly, energy transferred to tiger
100 X 2000
= 200 J (D) 0.5
Thus.out of the three vertical arrows A will represent
more energy transfor and out of the two horizontal
arrows B will represent more euergy transfer.

() Blood pressure: It is the forcethat blood exerts against the wall of a vessel. This
pressure is much greater in arteries than in veins.
(ii) It is measured by using an instrument called sphygmomanometer. 0.5

(B) Nutrition in Amoeba: Steps of holozoic nutrition.
a. ingestion, b. digestion,c. absorption, d. assimilation, e. egestion. It ingests food 2
by using its pseudopodia. The food is digested in the food vacuole by digestive
enzymes and is absorbed directly into the cytoplasm by diffusion. The undigested
food is removed by the cell membrane.
Nutrition in paramecium: In paramecium, food is taken in at a specific spot. Food is
moved to this spot by the movement of cilia which cover the entire surface of the
cell.
30 Autotrophs: Autotrophsmake their own food from carbon dioxide, water and
minerals in the presence of sunlight. e.g. green plants. Autotrophs convert simple
inorganic substances into complex organic substances.
Heterotrophs: The organisms which cannot make their own food from the raw
materials such as carbon dioxide, water et., and using sunlight are called
1
heterotrophs. Heterotrophs depend on other organisms for their food. All animals
including human beings are heterotrophs. Heterotrophs are also termed as
consumers.
Decomposers: Decomposers decompose the comnplex molecules present in the 1
bodies of the dead plants and animals e.g., saprophytic bacteria and
Decomposers break down the complex Organic substances into the simplefungi.
