Respiration in Organisms

NCERT Chapter Solutions and other Q & A

Q1: How breathing is different from respiration?

Answer:

S.No.	Breathing	Respiration
1	It involves the intake of oxygen and release of Carbon dioxide.	Respiration is more complex and it includes breathing as well as oxidation of food in cells to release energy.
2	It is a physical process i.e. exchange of gases.	It is a biochemical process in which food is broken along with the release of energy.
3	It involves breathing organs e.g. lungs in mammals.	It occurs at a cellular level

Class 7 - Science - CH4 - Heat

NCERT Solution and Q & A

Q1: Define Heat.

Answer: Heat is a form of energy which produces a sensation of hotness or coldness. It is measured in Joules (J) or in Calories. Heat energy flows from one body to another due to temperature difference between the two. Heat is an internal energy of the substance due to molecular motion of the substance.

(Source: openclipart.org)

Q1: What do you mean by physical properties of matter?

Answer: A physical property can be measured and observed without changing the composition or identity of a substance. E.g. Odour, colour, volume, state (gas, liquid, or solid), density, melting point, and boiling point are physical properties of a substance.

Q2: What do you mean by physical changes?

Answer: Physical changes are changes in the physical properties of substances. No new substances are formed in these changes. These changes may be reversible. E.g. melting of ice.

class 7 - Science - Ch1 - Nutrition in Plants

Nutrition in Plants

Q1: Why do organisms need to take food?

Answer: All organisms take food and utilise it to get energy for the growth and maintenance of their bodies.

Q2: Why do plants use the nitrogen present in soil? How is this nitrogen replenished in the soil?

Answer: Plants cannot absorb nitrogen in gas form; they need it in soluble form. Therefore, they use the nitrogen present in soil to prepare proteins.

Atmospheric nitrogen is fixed in soil by nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium,which live in the root nodules of leguminous plants such as gram, peas, beans, etc. In return, the plants provide food and shelter to the bacteria.

1. Light travels along straight lines. This property is called rectilinear propagation of light.

2. Any polished or a shining surface acts as a mirror.

3. Change in direction of light from an object is called reflection of light.

4. An image which can be obtained on a screen is called a real image.

5. An image which cannot be obtained on a screen is called a virtual image.

6. The image formed by a plane mirror is erect. It is virtual and is of the same size as the object. The image is at the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.

7. In an image formed by a mirror, the left side of the object is seen on the right side in the image, and right side of the object appears to be on the left side in the image. This property is called Lateral Inversion.
