Section A
(i) How can you determine the heart beat rate of an individual from this graph
(ii) What does the P wave indicate?
(iii) Which coronary artery disease is caused due to narrowing of the lumen of
the arteries?
11 The glomerular filtrate in the loop of Henle gets concentrated in the descending 3
limb and then gets diluted in the ascending limb. Explain.
12 Contrast any three characteristic features of skeletal muscles with regard 3
to smooth and cardiac muscles.
Section C
13 a) Mitosis results in producing two cells which are similar to each other. What 5
would be the consequence if each of the following irregularities occurs
during Mitosis?
!. Nuclear membrane fails to disintegrate
2. Duplication of DNA does not occur
3. Cytokinesis does not occur.
b) A cell has 32 chromosomes It undergoes mitotic division. What is the
chromosomal number (N) during metaphase? What would be the DNA content (C)
during anaphase?
OR
Study the diagram given below and answer the questions that follow.
1 • In cyclic photophosphorylation(1mark) 2
• It takes place in the stroma lamellae of chloroplast. Because it contains only
PS 1(1mark)
OR
• C4 plants avoid photorespiration which is a wasteful process due to Kranz
anatomy. (1mark)
• Maize/sorghum etc., (1mark)
2 • The H+ ion concentration is high near tissues during respiration(1mark) 2
• It helps in movement of CO2 from tissues to blood(1mark)
3 • Sudden elongation of internodes just before flowering in rosette pants like 2
Cabbage, beet is called bolting. Bolting is caused by Gibberellins (1/ 2 +1/2)
mark)
• Abscisic acid (1mark)
4. 2
5 • The Atrio-ventricular bundle and (AV bundle) originating from the AV node 2
passes the cardiac impulse to the walls of the ventricle whereas the Atrio-
Ventricular node conveys the impulse from the SA node to the AV bundle
(1/2 + ½ mark)
• Both AV node and AV bundle are triggered by the action potential
that is originated by the SA node(1mark)
OR
• Complete partition of ventricle among birds and mammals results in
complete separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood(1mark)
• This results in double circulation which is more efficient than single
circulation in other animals. (1mark)
6 • Thymus gland secretes a hormone called thymosin. This gland plays a 2
major role in the development of immune system. (½ + ½ mark)
• But thymus gland gets degenerated in the old individuals resulting in
decreased production of thymosin. As a result, old people have weak
immune system. (1mark) or
• Any other relevant answer.
Q. No Section C Marks
. No Section B Marks
The picture represents ATP synthesis through chemiosmosis. (1mark) 3
Labels 1. CF0,/ F0 2. Thylakoid membrane, 3. PSII (P680) 4. PS I (P700)
½ x 4= 2 marks.
(i) The reducing agent during the process of fermentation is 3
NADH (1mark)
(ii) Fermentation is associated with anaerobic respiration. (1marks)
(iii) Yes. In human body acidic fermentation takes place in muscle
cells under inadequate supply or due to lack of Oxygen(1mark)
OR
(i) 2 Steps of decarboxylation takes place during which CO2 is released.
(ii) In Mitochondrial matrix.
(iii) α- Ketogluteric acid is the connecting link between the two.
