  1. Ozone

  2. Layer

  3. Atmosphere

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Air is a mixture of ___________.

  1. Compounds

  2. Elements

  3. Colorless gases

  4. None of the above

Why is respiration considered an exothermic reaction ? Explain.

  1. reduction of glucose takes place

  2. produces large amount of heat energy.

  3. oxidation of glucose takes place

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B,C
Explanation:

Energy is required to support life. Energy in our body is obtained from the food we eat. During digestion, large molecules of food are broken down into simpler substances such as glucose. Glucose combines with oxygen in the cells and provides energy. The special name of this combustion reaction is respiration. Since energy is released in the whole process, it is an exothermic process.
$\underset{Glucose}{C _6H _{12}O _6(aq)} + \underset{Oxygen}{6O _2(g)} \rightarrow \underset{Carbon dioxide}{6CO _2(g)} + \underset{Water}{6H _2O(l)} + Energy$

Which of the following are the uses of air?

  1. Generating electricity

  2. Disposal of seeds

  3. Flying of birds

  4. All of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Air is a mixture of different types of gases, dust particles, water vapours, etc.
The important components of air are nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, etc,

Air is a very important component of the earth because of the following reasons:

  1. The windmill is designed to harness electricity from the wind, so it can be used for the generated electricity.
  2. Air helps in the process of pollination or seeds disposal.
  3. It helps the birds to fly.

Hence, the correct option is $\text{D}$

During respiration, glucose and oxygen enter our body cells and waste products carbon dioxide and water leave the body cells by the process of:

  1. evaporation

  2. osmosis

  3. diffusion

  4. plasmolysis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Breathing involves the exchange of gases in the lungs, a process which occurs by diffusion. The oxygen is then transported throughout the body. Carbon dioxide is the waste gas produced by respiration.


Thus, option C is correct.

Which one of the following is not a function of air?

  1. Combustion

  2. To fill the balloons and air strip

  3. Respiration

  4. Pollination of plants


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Air is a mixture of different types of gases, dust particles, water vapours, etc.
The important components of air are nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, etc,
Air is a very important component of the earth because of the following reasons
  1. It provides us fresh oxygen for respiration process
  2. It supports the water cycle
  3. It facilitates pollination in plants
  4. Conduct sound and help in the transmission
  5. It helps in the combustion process.

Which one is NOT applicable for combustion and respiration processes?

  1. Both are chemical processes

  2. Energy change take place in both

  3. Oxygen gas is consumed

  4. Both processes are fast


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Cellular respiration resembles ordinary combustion or burning, in the break down of chemical bonds, use of oxygen, production of carbon dioxide and release of energy, but there are fundamental differences between the two processes.

Combustion releases a large amount of energy in a single step and most of it changes in to heat and some at times in to light and raising the temperature greatly. Cellular respiration releases energy in steps and each energy releasing step is coupled with the synthesis of ATP. Only a small amount of energy dissipates as heat. Respiration may be called as slow burning.

Which of the following is true for burning?

  1. Releases heat and ATP

  2. Mass of products remains the same

  3. It is a fast process

  4. All of above


Correct Option: D

In respiration carbon and oxygen in _____ are oxidised.

  1. Organic matter

  2. Inorganic matter

  3. Aliphatic carbon

  4. None of above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In respiration oxygen breakdowns food substances mainly glucose and release energy in the form of heat. The carbon and oxygen that are oxidised are present in organic matter. Whereas in burning carbon and oxygen in inorganic matter is oxidized.

_____ and ______ are produced and released in exhaled air.

  1. $CO _2$ and $H _2$

  2. $H _2O$ and $H _2$

  3. $CO _2$ and water vapour

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Respiration is defined as the movement of oxygen from the outside air to the cells within tissues, and the transport of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction. The oxygen from air oxidises food substances mainly glucose in their body cells and release energy in the form of heat.

$C _6H _{12}O _6 + 6O _2 \longrightarrow$

  1. $CO _2$

  2. $H _2O$

  3. Heat

  4. All of above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In respiration, oxygen breakdowns food substances mainly glucose and release energy in the form of heat. Also, it gives out carbon dioxide and water vapour.

$C _6H _12O _6+6O _2\rightarrow6CO _2+6H _2O$

Respiration requires ___ temperatures whereas burning requires __ temperature.

  1. Room temperature, high temperature

  2. Low temperature, high temperature

  3. $37^oC$, high temperature

  4. $37^oC$, low temperature


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Respiration is a slow process occurring inside the living systems only. Hence, it requires body temperature i.e., $37^0C$ to occur. Whereas burning occurs outside the living system. It requires a high temperature to initiate a chemical change.


Hence, option $C$ is correct.

Which of the following is the most heterogeneous mixture?

  1. Brass

  2. Gasoline

  3. Distilled water

  4. A Pizza

  5. Air


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A Pizza is the most heterogeneous mixture.
In a heterogeneous mixture the composition formed due to the mixing of components is not entirely uniform like in the case of grains mixed with dust etc.

Air is an example of homogeneous mixture.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
A homogeneous mixture is a solid, liquid, or gaseous mixture that has the same proportions of its components throughout any given sample. 
If we consider some region of air, the gases, their volumes present in one part of the region equal to another one part of same region. We aren't able to divide different gases present in air. 
The statement is true.

A student finds that as he blows air into a balloon, it becomes bigger. What inference can he make from the above?

  1. Air is a gas

  2. Air has mass

  3. Air is matter

  4. Air occupies space


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When a balloon is filled with air then the air exerts force on the walls of the balloon. Due to this force the balloon material stretches and hence size of balloon increases. The material of the balloon is such that it can stretch a lot.
