37. Food chains are very important for the survival of most species. When only one element is removed
from the food chain it can result in extinction of a species in some cases. The foundation of the food
chain consists of primary producers. Primary producers, or autotrophs, can use either solar energy or
chemical energy to create complex organic compounds, whereas species at higher trophic levels cannot
and so must consume producers or other life that itself consumes producers. Because the sun’s light is
necessary for photosynthesis, most life could not exist if the sun disappeared. Even so, it has recently
been discovered that there are some forms of life, chemotrophs, that appear to gain all their metabolic
energy from chemosynthesis driven by hydrothermal vents, thus showing that some life may not
require solar energy to thrive.

percentage of solar energy will be converted into food energy?
a) 10,000 Jb) 100 Jc) 1000 Jd) It will depend on the type of the terrestrial plant.

b) Energy is repeatedly circulation and matter is unidirectional.
c) Energy is unidirectional and matter is repeatedly circulating.
d) Energy is multidirectional and matter is bidirectional.

a) Firsts trophic levelb) Second trophic level
c) Third trophic leveld) Fourth trophic level
4) Which of the following limits the number of trophic levels in a food chain?
a) Decrease in energy at higher trophic levelsb) Less availability of food
c) Polluted air d) Water
38.Ethanol commonly called as alcohol is an excellent solvents. It is used in medicines and is
also an important starting material in the synthesis of many chemical compounds. However
inspite of its benefits to man, its impact on social behaviour has been questioned as its
consumption causes drunkenness., Ethanol is a reactive compound . It react with sodium to

39. The domestic electric circuit consist of red insulated cover called as live wire, wire with black
insulation called as neutral wire and the wire with green insulation is called as Earth wire. We know
that fuse is connected in series with the circuit to prevent the damaging of electrical appliances and
circuit from overloading. Overloading occurs when live wire and the neutral wire comes in direct
contact with each other. Because of which current through the circuit increases suddenly. Also,
overloading may occurs because of connecting many appliances to a single socket. The Earth wire
which is green in colour is connected to a metal plate deep in the earth near the house. This type of
safety measure is used in appliances like electric press, toaster, table fan, refrigerator etc. The Earth
wire is gives low resistance conducting path for the electric current. In this way it protects us from
severe electric shock.All the appliances are connected in parallel circuit so that the potential difference
across each appliance will be same.
Questions:
1) What are the signs of live wire and neutral wire?
2) In our country what is the potential difference between live wire and neutral wire?
3) What is short circuiting?
4) What is the main purpose of using fuse in electric circuit?
