(a) Deficiency of iodine causes goitre. This disorder is commonly prevalent in northern hilly areas. It causes enlargement of thyroid gland which results in swelling of neck region. (b) Thyroid gland secretes iodine containing hormone called thyroxine. Thyroxine controls basal metabolic rate. It regRead more
(a) Deficiency of iodine causes goitre. This disorder is commonly prevalent in northern hilly areas. It causes enlargement of thyroid gland which results in swelling of neck region.
(b) Thyroid gland secretes iodine containing hormone called thyroxine. Thyroxine controls basal metabolic rate. It regulates carbohydrates, protein and fat metabolism in the body. The hormone also controls physical development, mental development, muscular activity, nervous activity and sexual activity.
(a) Two functions of bile juice are: (i) Helps in emulsification of fats. (ii) Provides alkaline medium. (b) Difference between functions of enzymes pepsin and trypsin Pepsin:- (i) Acts in acidic medium in stomach (ii) Acts on proteins and breaks down to polypeptides and dipeptides. Trypsin:- (i) AcRead more
(a) Two functions of bile juice are:
(i) Helps in emulsification of fats.
(ii) Provides alkaline medium.
(b) Difference between functions of enzymes pepsin and trypsin
Pepsin:- (i) Acts in acidic medium in stomach
(ii) Acts on proteins and breaks down to polypeptides and dipeptides.
Trypsin:- (i) Acts in alkaline medium in small intestine.
(ii) Acts on partially digested proteins and breaks down to amino acids
(i) Tamished copper vessel has a layer of copper carbonate around it. On rubbing with lemon (which contains citric acid), a reaction takes place between the carbonate layer and citric acid. Carbonate layer is removed and the vessel shines again. (ii) Alkalies are water soluble bases. As all bases arRead more

(ii) Alkalies are water soluble bases. As all bases are not soluble in water, therefore, we can say that all bases are not alkalies. However, all alkalies come under the general category of bases.
(iii) Honey-bee sting contains methanoic acid. On applying baking soda over the stung area, methanoic acid is neutralised and relief is felt.
Kapil was feeling proud after the installation of solar water heater on his roof top. He knows that he has contributed towards the conservation of environment. Now answer the following questions:: (i) Write one advantage and one limitation of using a solar water heater. (ii) How has Kapil contributed towards the conservation of environment? (iii) State the values that prompted Kapil’s action.
