The period from birth to the natural death of an organism represents its life span. The lifespan of an organism is not necessarily correlated with its body size, it can vary from less than one day to more than 400 years. Irrespective of the long or short lifespan of an organism, death is a certain phenomenon, i.e. no individual is immortal, except for single-celled organisms like Amoeba.

Biology - Human Health and Diseases
Following are the diseases that can affect the circulatory system:
⑴ Hypertension:
It is the most common disease affecting the heart and blood vessels. A blood pressure of 120/80 mmHg is considered normal. But the increase in blood pressure beyond 140 mmHg (systolic) and 90 mmHg (diastolic) is called high blood pressure (hypertension). A diet full of oily food is known to increase cholesterol levels, causing thickening of the arteries which results in high blood pressure. Tobacco smoking increases the heart rate, contracts blood vessels and raises blood pressure. High blood pressure can harm the heart, brain, kidneys and eyes.
1. Elasticity:
It is the property of a material by which it tries to regain its original configuration after the removal of the deforming force applied to it. Example of perfectly elastic solid, quartz, phosphor, bronze.
2. Plasticity:
It is the property of a body by virtue of which it does not regain its original shape and size even after the removal deforming force, is called plasticity.
Q1: Which of the following statements is wrong for viroids?
(a) They cause infections.
(b) Their RNA is of high molecular weight.
(c) They lack a protein coat.
(d) They are smaller than viruses.
Topics Covered: Work, Power and Energy
Q1: A bullet is fired from a rifle, If the rifle recoils freely, then the kinetic energy of the rifle will be:
(a) same as that of bullet
(b) more than that of bullet
(c) less than that of bullet
(d) none of these
Q2: A body of mass 2 kg, initially at rest, is acted upon simultaneously by two forces, one of 4N and the other of 3N, acting at right angles to each other. The work done by the body after the 20s is
(a) 500 J
(b) 1250 J
(c) 2500 J
(d) 5000 J
