MESSAGE FROM DUPUTY COMMISSIONER

It is a matter of great pleasure for me to publish study material for different

subjects of classes X and XII for Raipur Region. Getting acquainted and
familiarized with the recent changes in curriculum and assessment process made
by CBSE vide Circular No. 51 and 53 issued in the month of July 2021 will help
students to prepare themselves better for the examination. Sound and deeper
knowledge of the Units and Chapters is must for grasping the concepts,
understanding the questions. Study materials help in making suitable and
effective notes for quick revision just before the examination.

Due to the unprecedented circumstances of COVID-19 pandemic the

students and the teachers are getting very limited opportunity to interact face to
face in the classes. In such a situation the supervised and especially prepared
value points will help the students to develop their understanding and analytical
skills together. The students will be benefitted immensely after going through the
question bank and practice papers. The study materials will build a special bond
and act as connecting link between the teachers and the students as both can
undertake a guided and experiential learning simultaneously. It will help the
students develop the habit of exploring and analyzing the Creative & Critical
Thinking Skills. The new concepts introduced in the question pattern related
to case study, reasoning and ascertain will empower the students to take
independent decision on different situational problems. The different study
materials are designed in such a manner to help the students in their self-
learning pace. It emphasizes the great pedagogical dictum that ‘everything can be
learnt but nothing can be taught’. The self-motivated learning as well as
supervised classes will together help them achieve the new academic heights.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all the principals and the
teachers who have relentlessly striven for completion of the project of preparing
study materials for all the subjects. Their enormous contribution in making this
project successful is praiseworthy.
Happy learning and best of luck!

RESPIRATION

Most living things need oxygen to obtain energy from food. The oxygen reacts with food molecules and
that is how energy is obtained which is stored in the form of ATP molecules in the cells. This energy can
be used anywhere the bodywants to do so. The process of releasing energy from food is called
respiration.

Q1. What is the full form of ATP?

(1) Adenisyne tri‐phosphate
(2) Adenosine tri‐phosphate
(3) Adenosine tetraphosphate
(4) Adenosine monophosphate
Q2. Respiration is

(3) Physical process
(4) Biophysical process
Q3. Respiration is the process in which‐
(1) Energy is released and stored in the form of ATP
(2) Energy is stored in the form of ADP
(3) Energy is not released at all
(4) Energy is used up

Answer
1. The answer is (b) Yeast, mushroom, bread mould

Explanation:
Yeast, mushroom and bread mould are saprophytes and Saprophytes break the food material outside
their body and absorbed.
2. The answer is (b) Starch breaking down into sugars

Explanation:Salivary Amylase enzyme present in the saliva breaks down Starch into simpler sugar and
helps in digesting them. Hence the breakdown of starch will be affected if salivary amylase is lacking in
the saliva.
3. The answer is (d) starch

Explanation: Starch is made up of two components Amylose and Amylopectin. When we add iodine to
starch‐containing water Amylose reacts with iodine to form a blue colour complex. Here solution gives
blue‐black colour on adding Iodine which confirms the presence of starch in the rice water.

Assersion and Reasoning Type Question

Instructions:
Two statements are given‐one labeled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select
the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below.
a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
b) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
c) A is true but R is false
d) A is false and R is also false

1. Assertion : The cloud in sky generally appear to be whitish.

Reason : Diffraction due to cloud is efficient in equal measure at all wavelengths
2. Assertion : A beam of white light gives a spectrum on passing through a hollow prism.
Reason :Speedoflightoutsidetheprismisdifferentfromthespeedoflightinsidetheprism.

3. Assertion : The sky appear reddish during sunrise and sunset.

Reason : Red light Scattered lesser than other colures.

Case study based questions

I- SCATTERING OF LIGHT

Ankithaand Nikitha aresisters. Both arestudents. Oneevening, whilewalkingin abeach Nikitha, the younger sister
noticed the red colour of the sky during the Sun set. She asked her sisterwhy the skysees read in colour. Ankitha,
who recently studied about light told that it happens because of scattering. Scattering is nothing but irregular
reflection. Scattering of light depends on its wavelength. Red colour has long wavelength, because of which less
scattering takes place. Blue scatters more. This type of scattering is known as selective
scattering or Rayleigh's scattering. It happens when the size of the scattering particles are smaller than the wavelength
of light. Otherwise all colours scatter in equal amount.

1 Which colour of light scatter less?

(a) Red (b) Violet (c) Green (d) Yellow

II‐ Formation of rainbow

One day Anjith and family were going to their village in a car. During the journey it was raining. Children were enjoying
travelling in rain. It was a high range route. After sometime rain stopped and started toget bright sunlight. It was atthat time,
his youngerson noticed a rainbow inthesky. His curious mind could not stop him to ask how it forms. Anjith explained his
children how a rainbow forms.
1. Which are the phenomenons involved in the formation of rainbow?
