(b) Viviparous animals
(c) Hormones
(d) Adolescence (puberty)
(e) Phloem
(ii) [5 × 1]
Insulin – (c); Neuron – (b); Vaccination – (d); Phloem – (a); Hydra – (e).
(iii) [5 × 1]
(a) False — pollen grains are produced in the anthers.
(b) True
(c) True
(d) False — arteries carry blood away from the heart.
(e) True
(iv) [5 × 1]

(e) Egg, tadpole, froglet, adult frog
(i) [1] Asexual reproduction.
(ii) [2] (any two, 1 mark each) Cutting (e.g. rose, sugarcane); layering (e.g. jasmine); grafting (e.g. mango); budding; use of tubers/bulbs/leaves (e.g. potato, Bryophyllum).
(iii) [2]
| Pollination | Fertilisation |
|---|---|
| Transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma | Fusion of the male gamete with the female gamete (egg) |
| Takes place on the stigma, before fertilisation | Takes place inside the ovule/ovary, after pollination |
(iv) [2] Oviparous animals lay eggs, and the young ones hatch outside the mother's body — e.g. hen, frog [1]. Viviparous animals give birth to fully formed young ones — e.g. dog, cow, human [1].
(v) [3] The nucleus of the Amoeba divides into two [1]; the cytoplasm then constricts in the middle and divides [1]; two identical daughter Amoebae are formed from one parent cell [1].
www.bionotes.in(i) [1] Pancreas.
(ii) [2] (a) Thyroxine controls the rate of metabolism (growth and energy use) [1]. (b) Insulin lowers the blood sugar level by helping the body to store glucose as glycogen [1].
www.bionotes.in(iii) [2] (any two) Development of breasts; widening of hips; growth of hair under the arms and in the pubic region; start of menstruation; growth spurt.
(iv) [2] Menstruation is the periodic discharge of blood and the broken lining of the uterus through the vagina [1], occurring about once every 28 days in a woman if the egg is not fertilised [1].
(v) [3] (any three) Supports rapid growth and development; supplies enough iron/calcium/protein; prevents infection and skin problems (e.g. pimples); keeps the body fit and active; prevents obesity and deficiency diseases; improves concentration.
(i) [1] Left atrium (left auricle).
(ii) [2]
| Arteries | Veins |
|---|---|
| Carry blood away from the heart | Carry blood towards the heart |
| Thick, elastic walls; no valves | Thin walls; valves are present |
| Usually carry oxygenated blood (except pulmonary artery) | Usually carry deoxygenated blood (except pulmonary veins) |
(Any two differences.)
www.bionotes.in(iii) [2] A reflex action is a sudden, automatic and involuntary response to a stimulus [1]. Example: pulling away the hand on touching a hot object / blinking / sneezing [1].
(iv) [2] (any two, 1 mark each) Cerebrum – thinking, memory, intelligence, voluntary actions; Cerebellum – balance and posture; Medulla oblongata – controls involuntary actions like heartbeat and breathing.
www.bionotes.in(v) [3] A food chain is a single, straight sequence showing who eats whom [1]; a food web is a network of many interconnected food chains [1]. Example of a four-organism chain: Grass → Grasshopper → Frog → Snake [1].
www.bionotes.in(i) [1] Dengue (also acceptable: chikungunya / yellow fever).
(ii) [2] A communicable disease is a disease that can spread from an infected person to a healthy person [1]; example: cold / cholera / measles / tuberculosis / malaria [1].
(iii) [2] (any two) Hold the burnt area under cool running water for about 10 minutes; do not burst blisters; cover loosely with a clean, sterile dressing; do not apply butter, toothpaste or ice; take the person to a doctor if the burn is severe.
(iv) [2] (any two)
| Manure | Fertiliser |
|---|---|
| Natural; made from decomposed plant and animal wastes | Man-made chemical substances |
| Adds humus and improves soil texture | Does not add humus |
| Contains fewer nutrients | Rich in specific nutrients (N, P, K) |
| Does not harm the environment | Excess use may cause soil and water pollution |
(v) [3] (any three points)
| Xylem | Phloem |
|---|---|
| Transports water and minerals | Transports food prepared in the leaves |
| Conduction is upward (roots to leaves) | Conduction is both upward and downward |
| Mostly made of dead cells | Made of living cells |
