whooping cough, polio, diphtheria etc.(1)
3
Fixed ribs Floating ribs 2M
There are 10 pairs of ribs There are 2 pairs of ribs
They are attached to the backbone and sternum They are attached to the backbone
only.
4. The skeletal system plays a very important role in our body. Justify your answer giving four
points.
Ans. Gives shape/form support
Allows movement
Protects soft internal organs
Long bones contain marrow where blood cells are made (0.5) for each point
5.Many plants grew in swampy areas. (0.5) for each point
As they died they fell in swampy areas
They fell and got covered with layers of soil.
Intense heat and pressure converted them into coal

b) Terrace farming-Growing of crops on the hill slopes by cutting steps.(1)
7. Miscible Immiscible
These liquids can dissolve in each other These liquids do not dissolve in each other (1)
Carbon di oxide is dissolved in aerated drinks/oxygen is dissolved in water (1)
8..Surface is covered with rocks and mountains, craters/ no water(1) Any 2 points
Since there is no air, sound can’t be heard on Moon.(1)
9. The tides are caused by the gravity of the moon. (0.5) each point
When the moon is close to the Earth it pulls the water towards itself causing high tide
The same happens on the opposite side of the earth
