    37. In an experimental activity, crushed ice was taken in a beaker. A thermometer is fitted in such
    a way that its bulb was thoroughly surrounded by ice. The beaker is now slowly heated and
    temperature was regularly noted. Temperature rises gradually as the heating is continued and
    becomes constant when ice starts changing into liquid.

    i) What name is associated with conversion of ice into water?
    a) Evaporation b) Sublimation c) Freezing d) Fusion of Solid

    a) specific heat b) latent heat c) residual heat d) none of the above
    iv) Where does the heat energy go when the temperature does not rise?
    a) It makes the molecular motion of the liquid faster
    b) It raises the temperature of the beaker only.
    c) It is utilised for bringing out the complete change of state
    d) It slows down the molecular motion

    38. Every day, every hour, every second one of the most important events in life is going on in
    your body—cells are dividing. When cells divide, they make new cells. A single cell divides to
    make two cells and these two cells then divide to make four cells, and so on. We call this process
    "cell division" and "cell reproduction," because new cells are formed when old cells divide. The
    ability of cells to divide is unique for living organisms.

    a) In which type of cell division daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the
    mother cells

    b)Which structure present in nuclear region of a living cell where genes

    c)Give difference between mitosis and meiosis

    39.Action and reaction forces are you put them up for the bleach other but they may not
    produce acceleration of equal magnitudes in both objects action and reaction forces do not act
    on the same object for example while playing the game of football the two players collide with
    each other but they both get hurt as each player applies equal and opposite force on each other

    a) What will be the reading in other spring balance if first spring balance reading is 10g wt.
    b) Write the reason for your answer.
    c) Name the forces that each spring balanceexert on other.
    d) What is the magnitude and direction of these forces.
