Inter Zoology Practical Exams Guidance and Tips, Model Paper

After entering into the Zoology Laboratory, keep your Practical Record Book on the table and collect your answer book and sit in your place comfortably. Then fill your Register Number and other details in the Answer Book. Read the Question Paper written on the black board of the laboratory.

Now start Question Number I. As the dissections are abolished, you need not do any dissection. But you have to identify the given dissection (unlabelled model or diagram) and draw neat labelled diagram of it. First draw the diagram with a sharply pointed pencil and then over write the lines with sketch pens of different colours to indicate different organs/ parts and then label it.

Now for Question Number II, first write the principle of the experiment
regarding the substance to be identified from the given samples. Then write the procedure of the experiment.

There are four samples A, B, C and D. Take sample A into a test tube and do the experiment as per the procedure. Then do the same with the B, C and D also. Then show the results to the Examiner.
Then record the results in the answer book against...
A : ..... , B : ...... , C : ...... and D : ......

Regarding Question Number III, when your turn comes, you have to go to the spotters. Observe them carefully and write their names serially as ...
III A: ......... III B: .......... III C: ...................
III D: ......... III E: .......... III F: ...................
III G: ..........

Then show them to the Examiner and get his / her signature and sit in your place and write answers. Write 3 or 4 unique features of each spotter in pointwise manner. For complete specimens, write the systematic position also (Phylum:............, Class: ........... etc.).

Draw and label the diagram for each spotter.

Check your answers once again and hand over the answer book to the Examiner and
leave the Laboratory. You have sufficient time to answer all the questions in the Examination. Hence, do not feel anxiety and be cool and write the Examination peacefully and confidently.

Some Tips..

10th Class English Grammar - Adjectives and Degrees of Comparison

The Adjective: An adjective is a word used with a noun to add something to its meaning. In short, adjectives qualify nouns.
Eg: 1) The Tatas are rich. (The Tatas = noun; rich = adjective).
2) The rose is a beautiful flower. (The rose = noun; beautiful = adj).

Degrees Of Comparison:

There are three degrees of comparison of adjectives in English. They are i) the positive, ii) the comparative and iii) the superlative.

The positive shows the simple quality of a thing, person or place.
Eg: The Himalayas are high mountains.
Sometimes we make comparisons to denote a higher degree of the quality of the things we are talking about.
Eg: The Himalayas are higher than any other mountain.

This superlative shows the highest or the greatest degree of the quality.
Eg: The Himalayas are the highest of all other mountains.
Interchange of Degrees of comparison

Study these sentences:

a) No other fruit is so sweet as mango. (Positive Deg)
b) Mango is sweeter than any other fruit. (Comp. Deg)
c) Mango is the sweetest of all other fruits. (Superlative Deg)

Junior Inter Botany 2 Marks Questions from Chapters 12-13

Q: The transverse section of a plant material shows the following anatomical features:
a) The vascular bundles are conjoint, scattered and surrounded by a sclerenchymatous
bundle sheaths.
b) Phloem parenchyma is absent. What will you identify it as?
A: Monocot stem.

Q: Why xylem and phloem are called complex tissues?
A: Xylem and phloem are made up of more than one type of cells and these cells work
together as a unit. Hence they are called complex tissues.

Q: How is the study of plant anatomy useful to us?
A: Study of plant anatomy is useful to us for better understanding of tissue organization in the roots, stems and leaves.

Q: Protoxylem is the first formed xylem. If the protoxylem lies radially next to phloem, what kind of arrangement of xylem would you call it? Where do you find it?
A: Exarch xylem. It is found in Dicot and Monocot roots.

Q: What is the function of phloem parenchyma?
A: The phloem parenchyma stores food material and other substances like resins, latex
and mucilage.

Q: a) What is present on the surface of the leaves which helps the plant to prevent
loss of water but is absent in roots?
b) What is the epidermal cell modification in plants which prevents water loss?
A: a) Cuticle
b) Multicellular trichomes. In monocot leaves Bulliform cells.

Q: What are the cells that make the leaves curl in plants during water stress? Give an
example.
A: Bulliform cells.
Ex: Grasses (Monocot leaf)

Q: What constitutes the vascular cambial ring?
A: Intra fascicular cambium and inter fascicular cambium.

Q: Give one basic functional difference between phellogen and phelloderm.
A: Phellogen cuts off cells on both sides and produces phellem (outside) and phelloderm
(inside).
The phelloderm or secondary cortex is parenchymatous and helps in storage.

Q: If one debarks a tree, what parts of the plant are removed?
A: Periderm (Phelloderm, phellogen and phellem) and secondary phloem.

Q: Climax stage is achieved quickly in secondary succession as compared to primary succession. Why?
A: Since some soil or sediment is already present, climax stage is achieved quickly in
secondary succession.

A: Lichens.

Q: Give any two examples of xerarch succession.
A: Lichens, Bryophytes.

Q: Name the type of land plants that can tolerate the salinities of the sea.

A: a) Roots b) Monocot roots
c) Monocot roots and dicot stems d) Roots

Junior Inter Botany 8 Marks Question from Chapters 12-13

Q: Describe the T.S of dicot stem.
A: The transverse section of a dicot stem shows: Epidermis, Cortex and Stele.
Epidermis: The epidermis is outer most protective layer covered by a cuticle. It may bear multicellular trichomes and stomata. It helps in protection, transpiration and
gaseous exchange.

Cortex: The cortex is the region between epidermis and stele. It is differentiated into: 1) Hypodermis 2) General cortex 3) Endodermis
The hypodermis is present below the epidermis and made up of collenchyma. It gives mechanical strength to young stems.

General cortex is parenchymatous with intercellular spaces. It helps in assimilation and
storage. The inner most layer of cortex is endodermis also called starch sheath. It
stores starch.

Stele: The stele is the central conducting cylinder and occupies large area in the stem.
It is differentiated into: 1) Pericycle 2) Vascular bundles 3) Medulla 4) Medullary rays
Pericycle is in the form of a semi lunar patch of Sclerenchyma above the vascular bundle.
The vascular bundles are arranged in a ring (eustele). Each vascular bundle is collateral, conjoint, open (cambium present between xylem and phloem) with endarch xylem.
Xylem is present towards centre and phloem towards periphery separated by cambium. Pith is large and parenchymatous at the centre and radiates as medullary rays in between the vascular bundles.

Junior Intermediate Imp Questions for 4 Marks - Botany Chapters 12-13

Q: Define plant succession. Differentiate primary and secondary successions.
A: The gradual change in the composition of species in a given area is called ecological succession.

Plant succession may occur through xerosere or hydrosere. When plant succession starts on a bare rock it is called xerosere. When it starts on an aquatic habitat it is called hydrosere.

The sequence of communities that successively change in a given area are called seres.
If the succession starts where no living organisms ever existed like bare rock it is
called primary succession.
Ex: Cooled lava, bare rock, newly created reservoir or pond. It takes long period to
reach a climax community in primary succession.

If the succession starts in an area where organisms were existing but somehow lost is
called secondary succession. Ex: Abandoned farm lands, burned forests, flooded lands. Climax community is reached in less time when compared to primary succession.

Q: Define ecosystem / ecological services. Explain in brief with regard to pollination.
A: Ecosystem services or ecological services are the services provided by nature that are life supporting and life enhancing.
Ecosystem service - pollination: Pollination is an essential part of healthy ecosystem.
It is the transfer of pollen grains from the anthers to the stigma of a flower to facilitate fertilization process.

In many plants pollination is carried out by different species of animals especially
insects. The pollination carried out through insects is called entamophily. The animals (insects) which carry out pollination are called pollinators.

They are very important to ensure fertilization and seed and fruit production in majority of our crop plants. Decline in pollinator activity results in loss of
crop yield. Nearly one lakh species of invertebrates and 1035 species of vertebrates act as pollinators. According to US Fish and Wildlife Service lists 50 pollinator species are threatened or endangered. Causes of decline in pollinators are deforestation and chemical pesticides.

Junior Inter Botany Important Questions for 4 Marks - Chapters 12-13

Q: State the location and function of different types of meristems.

A: Primary meristems: They are present at the tips of roots and shoots.
Function: They produce primary tissues and help in vertical growth.
Intercalary meristems: They are present between mature tissues.
Function: They regenerate parts removed by grazing animals.
Secondary or lateral meristems: They are present in mature regions of roots and shoots.
Ex: Vascular cambium in the stele and cork cambium in the cortex.
Function: They produce secondary tissues and help in radial growth.

Q: A transverse section of the trunk of a tree shows concentric rings which are known as annual rings. How are these rings formed?
What is the significance of these rings?

A: During secondary growth the vascular cambium produces secondary xylem towards inside and secondary phloem towards outside. Secondary xylem formed during spring has more number of xylem vessels with wide lumens and called spring wood or early wood.

The secondary xylem formed during autumn season has less number of xylem vessels with narrow lumens and called autumn wood or late wood. The spring wood and autumn wood produced in one year appear as one concentric ring called as annual ring or growth ring.

Significance: Annual rings are useful to estimate the age of the tree approximately.

Q: Write the precise function of
a) Sieve tube b) Interfasicular cambium
c) Collenchyma d) Sclerenchyma

A: a. Sieve tube: Transport of food materials from leaves to other parts of the plant.
b. Interfasicular cambium: Formation of cambial ring and production of secondary xylem and secondary phloem.
c. Collenchyma: Mechanical support to young stems and petioles and assimilation of food.
d. Sclerenchyma: Provide mechanical support to organs.

Q: Name the three basic tissue systems in the flowering plants. Give the tissue names under each system.
A: The tissues are organized into different tissue systems at different locations in the plant body. The three types of tissue systems are:

The epidermal tissue system: It consists of epidermis, stomata, cuticle, trichomes and root hair.

The ground tissue system (fundamental tissue system): The ground tissue system composes of all tissues except epidermis and vascular bundles. It includes hypodermis or exodermis, general cortex, endodermis, pericycle, pith and medullary rays.

The vascular tissue system (conducting tissue system): The vascular tissue system consists of xylem, phloem and cambium.

Junior Intermediate Chemistry - Imp Questions for 4 Marks

Q: Write any 4 postulates of Kinetic molecular theory of gases. (4 M)
A: Collisions of gas molecules is perfectly elastic. Average Kinetic energy of the gas molecules ∝ T. There is no force of attraction between the molecules of the gas at normal P and T. Gas molecules move in all possible directions in straight lines but randomly.

Q: State Le Chatlier's principle. Explain the effect of temperature and pressure on the synthesis of NH3 by Haber's process.

A: If a chemical reaction at equilibrium is disturbed either by change in pressure or concentration or temperature, then the system will be shifted towards the direction in which the change is nullified or minimised

Effect of P: By increasing pressure upto 200 atm, equilibrium will be shifted from 4 moles side to 2 moles side to form more NH3.

Effect of T: Forward reaction is exothermic. Increase in 'T' favours backward reaction, decrease in 'T' makes rate of forward reaction slow. So an optimum temperature 725 K to 775 K is used to get more NH3.

10th Class Imp 1 Mark Questions from Physical Sciences - AP and Telangana Boards

Here are some important 1 mark questions for SSC / Tenth / 10th Class
Public Exams in AP and Telangana. The questions are given from
Physical Sciences subject for English medium students.

Q: Why does our image appear thin or bulged out in some mirrors?
A: When the mirror is not a plane mirror and if it is a spherical
mirror then our image appears like that.

Q: Are the angle of reflection and angle of incidence also equal for
reflection at curved surfaces?
A: Even for reflection by curved surfaces, the angle of incidence will
be equal to the angle of reflection.

Q: Can we at least heat up a vessel using a mirror?
A: We know that a concave mirror focuses parallel sun rays at its
focal point. So with a small concave mirror we can heat up and burn
paper by putting it at its focus and allowing the sun rays to fall on
it. If a vessel is placed instead of paper it gets heated.

Q: What happens if the size of the hole of a pin hole camera is much
bigger or equal to the size of the flame used as an object?
A: The pin hole camera cannot produce the image of the flame on its
screen as the hole is of the size of the flame.

On the screen we can observe some bright region formed due to the
light intensity of the flame.

Q: Why pure acetic acid does not turn blue litmus to red?
A: Acetic acid is a weak acid. Further it is a hydrocarbon. As such it
does not turn blue litmus to red.

Q: Is the substance present in antacid tablet acidic or basic?
A: Sodium hydrogen carbonate is one of the substances present in
antacid tablet. This substance is an alkali.

Q: Write the names of two synthetic indicators?
A: 1) Methyl orange
2) Phenophthalein are two synthetic indicators.

Q: What is the chemical name for table salt?
A: NaCl: (Sodium chloride) is the chemical name for table salt.

Q: What is galvanizing? How is it useful?
A: Galvanizing is a method of protecting iron from rusting by coating
them a thin layer of Zinc.

10th Class Physical Sciences Imp 2 Marks Questions for AP and Telangana Boards

Here are important 2 marks questions for 10th Class / SSC public exams
in Telangana and AP. The questions are from Physical Sciences subject
for English medium students.

Q: Why does we get dew on the surface of cold soft drink bottle kept
in open air?
A: It is because of condensation of water molecules in the air on the
surface of cold drink bottle. When the water molecules in air, during
their motion strike the surface of cold soft drink bottle, they loose
their kinetic energy. When the water molecules loose their energy
their temperature falls down and so they condense as water droplets on
the surface of the bottle.

Q: What is baking powder? How does it make the cake soft and spongy?
A: Baking powder is a mixture of baking soda and tartaric acid.
When baking powder is heated it releases CO2 gas due to which the cake
rises and becomes soft and spongy.

Q: Why is the angle of reflection equal to the angle of incidence when
a light ray gets reflected from a surface?
A: Light selects a path which takes least time to travel.
This principle was first given by Fermat an amateur mathematician. It
is also applicable to reflection of light. When light gets reflected
from a surface, it selects the path that takes the least time. This is
why the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

Q: What do you mean by corrosion? How do you prevent it?
A: Corrosion: When some metals are exposed to moisture, acids etc,
they tarnish due to the formation of respective metal oxide on their
surface. This process is called corrosion.

Corrosion can be prevented or at least minimised by shielding the
metal surface from oxygen and moisture. It can be prevented by
painting, oiling, greasing, galvanizing, chrome plating or making
alloys.

Q: Equal amounts of water are kept in a cup and a dish. Which will
evaporate faster? Why?
A: Water in the dish evaporates faster than that in the cup. The rate
of evaporation of a liquid depends upon its surface area exposed. As
more surface of water in a dish is exposed than in a cup, water
evaporates faster in the dish.

Q: Why does transfer of heat energy take place between objects? (1 Mark)
A: When two objects are placed in thermal contact, heat energy will be
transferred from the hotter body to the 'colder body'.
Transfer of heat energy take place between two objects due to
temperature difference in the objects.

Senior Inter Botany Imp Questions and Answers - Respiration in Plants

Following are important 4 marks questions for IPE exams from Senior
Inter Botany subject. The questions are useful for AP and Telangana
Intermediate students. The questions and answers are from Respiration
in Plants chapter.

Q: Explain various complexes involved in Electron Transport System of
respiration.
A: ETS involves 5 complexes.
1. Complex I = NADH dehydrogenase
2. Complex II = Succinic dehydrogenase
3. Complex III = Cytochrome C reductase
4. Complex IV = Cytochrome C oxidase
5. Complex V = ATP synthase
These are all present in inner membrane of mitochondrion.

Complex I receives e− from Mitochondrial NADH2 and conveys it to
complex III through UQ.

Complex II receives e− from FADH2 and conveys it to complex through UQ.

Complex III gives e− to complex IV through cyt C.
Complex IV gives e− to oxygen.
Complex V forms ATP by oxidative phosphorylation.

Q: Describe the structure of complex V and explain the process of
oxidative phosphorylation as explained by chemiosmotic hypothesis.
A: Complex V is chemically a proteinaceous enzyme called ATP synthase.
It has two parts. 1) F0, 2) F1. The enzyme is present in
the inner membrane of mitochondria. F0 is present towards
perimitochondrial space and F1 is protruded into the matrix.

F0 forms proton channel. Protons pass through F0 and fall into F1. It
is the head piece and rotates always. It is the site of protein
synthesis. Peter mitchel proposed chemi osmotic model. According
concentration gradient, H+ from perimitochondrial space pass through
F0 into F1. For every
3H+, 1 ATP is produced.

Q: What is the common pathway for aerobic and anaerobic respirations?
Where does it take place? (2 Marks)
A: The common pathway for aerobic and anaerobic respirations. It
occurs in cytosol where all the enzymes (10) required for it are
present.

Senior Inter Botany Imp 2 Marks Questions - Respiration in Plants

Following are important questions and answers for IPE Exams in AP and
Telangana for Senior Intermediate. These are 2 marks questions from
the chapter - Respiration in Plants.

Q: What is the specific role of F0 - F1 particles in respiration?
A: F0 - F1 particles (Previously called Oxysomes or elementary
particles) are present in the inner membrane of mitochondria (or
thylakoid membranes of chloroplast). They are considered as Complex V
(ATP synthase). F0 is hydrophilic and present towards
perimitochondrial space. F1 is hydrophobic and present towards matrix.
F0 acts H+ channel. F1 is the smallest rotating machine and active
site of ATP synthesis.

Q: When does anaerobic respiration occur in man and yeast?
A: Anaerobic respiration occurs in muscle cells of man, and yeast when
oxygen is not available.

Q: What cellular organic substances are never used as respiratory substrates?
A: Pure proteins and fats are never used as respiratory substrates.

Q: Why is the RQ of fats less than that of carbohydrates?
A: When fats are used as substrates in respiration, less CO2 is
evolved for more O2 absorbed. So RQ is less than that of carbohydrates
(i.e. less than 1).

Q: What is meant by 'Amphibolic' pathway?
A: The respiratory pathway is an amphibolic pathway as it involves
both anabolism and catabolism. Basically it is catabolic pathway. But
the carbon skeleton produced during respiration is used as a precursor
for biosynthesis of other biomolecules.
Ex: á - Ketoglutaric acid is useful in the synthesis of an amino acid
called Glutamic acid.

Q: Name the mobile electron carriers of the respiratory electron
transport chain in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
A: Ubiquinone (UQ) is a mobile electron carrier between Complex I &
Complex III, Complex II and Complex III. Cyt C is a mobile electron
carrier between Complex III and Complex IV of the mitochondrial inner
membrane.

Q: What is the final acceptor of electrons in aerobic respiration?
From which complex does it receive electrons?
A: Oxygen is the final acceptor of electrons in aerobic respiration.
It receives electrons from Complex IV.

Q: Do you know of any step in Krebs Cycle where there is a substrate
level phosphorylation? Explain.
A: During the conversion of succinyl - CoA to succinic acid a molecule
of GTP is synthesised. This is a substrate level phosphorylation
(SLP). In a coupled reaction GTP is converted to GDP with simultaneous
synthesis of ATP from ADP.

Inter First Year Botany Important 4 Marks Questions from 9-11 Chapters

Q: Describe the structure of nucleus.
A: Nucleus: Nucleus was first described by Robert Brown.
It shows:
Chromatin
Nuclear matrix
Nucleoli and
Nuclear envelop.

The nuclear envelop contains two membranes which enclose perinuclear
space. The nuclear envelop shows minute pores called nuclear pores
through which the nucleoplasm is in contact with the cytoplasm.

The nuclear matrix or nucleoplasm contains nucleolus and chromatin.
The nucleolus is a darkly stained region in the nucleus and it is the
site of RNA synthesis. The chromatin appears as a loose indistinct
network of nucleo -protein fibers during interphase.

During metaphase and anaphase it appears as distinct number of
chromosomes. The chromatin is made up of DNA, histone proteins,
nonhistone proteins and RNA. The chromosome shows a primary
constriction called centromere.

Q: Give a brief account of the types of chromosomes based on the
position of centromere.
A: Based on the position of centromere the chromosomes can be
classified into 4 types:

Metacentric chromosome: Centromere is in the middle and the chromosome
shows two equal arms.

Sub-metacentric chromosome: Centromere is present near to the middle
with one short and one long arm of chromosome.

Acrocentric chromosome: The centromere is situated close to one end
with one extremely short arm and one very long arm.

Telocentric: The centromere is present at one end.

Q: Briefly describe the cell theory.
A: M. Schleiden, a botanist and T.Schwann, a zoologist together
proposed the cell theory. According to this theory all plants and
animals are composed of different kinds of cells which form tissues.

Schwann also proposed that the bodies of all plants and animals are
composed of cells and products of cells.

The animal cells are bounded by a plasma membrane, whereas the plant
cells have a cell wall surrounding the plasma membrane. These
observations gave way to formulate the cell theory as:

All living organisms are composed of cells and products of cells.
Thus cell is the structural and functional unit of life.
Later the cell theory was modified by Virchow as: All living organisms
are composed of cells and products of cells. Thus cell is the
structural and functional unit of life. 'All cells arise from
pre-existing cells'.

Junior Inter Botany 4 Marks Important Questions from 9-11 Chapters

Q: Describe the cell organelle which contains chlorophyll pigments.
A: Chloroplast: Chloroplast is the cell organelle which contains
chlorophyll pigments in the thylakoid membranes and carries out
photochemical reactions.

It is lens shaped and may be oval, spherical discoid or ribbon like
with a size of 5-10 µm (length) and 2-4 µm (width).

The double membrane of the chloroplast encloses a space called stroma.
A continuous system of tubules extends in the stroma called thylakoid
system. The thylakoids appear as membranous sacs and are stacked like
piles of coils called grana.

Flat membranous tubules called the stroma lamellae connect the
thylakoids of different grana.

The thylakoid membrane encloses a space called lumen. The
photosynthetic pigments chlorophyll a, b, xanthophyll and carotene are
present in the membrane.

The stroma contains enzymes of photosynthesis (carbohydrate synthesis)
and also shows DNA, RNA and 70S ribosomes.

Q: Describe the structure and function of power houses of cell.
A: Mitochondria: The mitochondria are called power houses of cell as
they produce chemical energy in the form of ATP by oxidation of
glucose and
other food molecules.

The mitochondrion is sausage or cylindrical shaped organelle with a
size of 0.2 µm to 1.0 µm diameter and 1.0 µm to 4.1 µm length.

The outer membrane is smooth and the inner membrane is folded into
finger like projections called cristae. The fluid filled portion
inside the double membrane is the matrix.

The matrix contains enzymes of Kreb's cycle, DNA, RNA and 70S
ribosomes. The inner mitochondrial membrane contains protein complexes
and enzymes related to electron transport and ATP synthesis.

Functions: Mitochondria are the sites of aerobic respiration in which
Kreb's cycle and electron transport take place. They produce cellular
energy in the form of ATP.

Mitochondria also take part in photorespiration. As they contain DNA,
RNA and 70S ribosomes they also prepare proteins.
