  1. Asked: December 23, 2023In: Class 10 Science

    Explain how ozone being a deadly poison can still perform an essential function for our environment.

    Ozone (O₃) can be both beneficial and harmful, depending on its location in the Earth's atmosphere.

    Ozone (O₃) can be both beneficial and harmful, depending on its location in the Earth’s atmosphere. Understanding the context of ozone in different atmospheric layers is crucial to recognizing its dual role:

    Stratospheric Ozone (Good Ozone):

    Ozone in the stratosphere, often referred to as the “good ozone,” forms the ozone layer, which is located approximately 10 to 50 kilometers above the Earth’s surface.
    The ozone layer absorbs and filters out the majority of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, particularly the most dangerous UV-B and UV-C rays.
    Without the ozone layer, excessive UV radiation would reach the Earth’s surface, causing harmful effects such as increased rates of skin cancer, cataracts, and damage to ecosystems.

    Tropospheric Ozone (Bad Ozone):

    Ozone at ground level, in the troposphere, is considered “bad ozone.”
    Ground-level ozone is a major component of smog and is formed through the reaction of pollutants (such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds) in the presence of sunlight.
    Breathing in high concentrations of ground-level ozone can cause respiratory problems, aggravate asthma, and harm lung function.

    In summary, while ozone is a deadly poison at ground level and can pose health risks, it plays a critical role in protecting life on Earth when present in the stratosphere. The protective function of the ozone layer in the stratosphere far outweighs the potential harm caused by ground-level ozone. The challenge is to manage and reduce the production of pollutants that contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone while recognizing the essential protective role of stratospheric ozone in preserving life on Earth.

  2. Asked: December 23, 2023In: Class 10 Science

    Out of a goat and a tiger, which one will have a longer small intestine? Justify your answer.

    The length of the small intestine in animals is often correlated with their diet and digestive strategy. Herbivores, such as goats, typically have longer small intestines compared to carnivores, such as tigers. The length of the small intestine is related to the efficiency of nutrient absorption from the food.

    Goat (Herbivore):

    Herbivores consume plant material that is often complex and requires more extensive processing for the extraction of nutrients.
    Plant material contains cellulose, a complex carbohydrate that requires more time and surface area for digestion and absorption.
    The longer small intestine in herbivores allows for a slower and more thorough digestion process, optimizing the extraction of nutrients from plant materials.

    Tiger (Carnivore):

    Carnivores primarily consume animal flesh, which is easier to digest compared to plant material.
    Animal tissues are rich in proteins and fats, which can be efficiently digested and absorbed in a relatively shorter length of the small intestine.
    Carnivores often have a shorter and more straightforward digestive tract, reflecting the nature of their diet.

    In summary, goats, being herbivores, are more likely to have a longer small intestine compared to tigers, which are carnivores. The length of the small intestine is an adaptation to the specific dietary requirements and digestive processes associated with the type of food each species consumes.

  3. Asked: December 23, 2023In: Class 10 Science

    How is the wall of small intestine adapted for performing the function of absorption of food?

    The walls of the small intestine are highly adapted for the efficient absorption of food. Several structural features contribute to this adaptation:

    • Villi and Microvilli: The inner lining of the small intestine is covered with tiny finger-like projections called villi. Each villus contains even smaller projections called microvilli, forming the “brush border.” The large surface area provided by villi and microvilli increases the area available for absorption.

    • Epithelial Cells: The surface of the villi is covered by a single layer of epithelial cells with microvilli. These epithelial cells are specialized for absorption, with numerous transport proteins on their surfaces to facilitate the uptake of nutrients.

    • Capillary Network and Lacteals: Each villus contains a dense network of blood capillaries and lymphatic vessels called lacteals. Capillaries absorb water-soluble nutrients (e.g., sugars and amino acids), while lacteals absorb dietary fats. This network ensures the efficient transport of absorbed nutrients away from the small intestine.

    • Thin Wall: The wall of the small intestine is thin, facilitating the rapid diffusion of nutrients through the epithelial cells. This thinness reduces the distance nutrients need to travel to reach the bloodstream or lymphatic system.

    • Crypts of Lieberkühn: These are small tubular glands located between the villi in the lining of the small intestine. Crypts secrete intestinal juices that aid in the digestion of nutrients and maintain a suitable environment for absorption.

    • Rich Blood Supply: The small intestine has an extensive and rich blood supply through the mesenteric blood vessels.
    This ensures that absorbed nutrients are quickly transported away from the intestine to other parts of the body.

    The combination of these adaptations in the small intestine allows for the efficient absorption of nutrients from the digested food, ensuring that essential substances reach the bloodstream and are utilized by the body for energy, growth, and maintenance.

  4. Asked: December 23, 2023In: Class 10 Science

    Veins are thin-walled and have valves due to their specific functions in the circulatory system and the conditions they encounter. Here’s a justification for each characteristic:

    1.Thin-walled Structure:

    Low Pressure System: Veins carry blood back to the heart, and this blood is returning at a lower pressure compared to the arteries that carry blood away from the heart. As a result, veins do not need thick, muscular walls to withstand high pressure. The thinner walls of veins allow them to expand more easily, accommodating varying blood volumes and pressures.

    2.Valves:

    Preventing Backflow: Valves in veins prevent the backflow of blood. Since veins are part of a low-pressure system and often work against gravity, there is a higher risk of blood pooling or flowing backward. Valves ensure that blood moves unidirectionally—toward the heart. They open to allow blood to flow in the direction of the heart and close to prevent backflow.

    Gravity and Upward Flow: Valves are particularly important in the extremities, such as the legs, where blood must flow against gravity to return to the heart. Valves break the column of blood into smaller segments, making it easier for the muscles surrounding the veins to push blood upward, thus aiding venous return.

    In summary, the thin walls of veins allow for flexibility and easy compression by surrounding muscles, while valves prevent the backflow of blood, ensuring efficient blood circulation, especially in regions where blood must move against gravity.

  5. Asked: December 23, 2023In: Class 10 Science

    Name the part of a lens through which a ray of light passes without suffering any deviation.

    Srushti
    Added an answer on December 23, 2023 at 10:34 am

    The part of a lens through which a ray of light passes without suffering any deviation is called the optical center of the lens. The optical center is a point near the center of the lens where the lens is thinnest, and light passing through this point undergoes minimal or no refraction. Rays passingRead more

    The part of a lens through which a ray of light passes without suffering any deviation is called the optical center of the lens. The optical center is a point near the center of the lens where the lens is thinnest, and light passing through this point undergoes minimal or no refraction. Rays passing through the optical center continue along their original path without any deviation.
