SECTION B (Descriptive Type Questions)

1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow: (7 अंक)

Sir C. V. Raman was one of the greatest scientists of India. He was born on 7 November 1888 at Tiruchirappalli in Tamil Nadu. He was a very bright student and finished college at a young age.

Once, during a sea voyage back from Europe, Raman looked at the deep blue colour of the Mediterranean Sea and wondered why the sea is blue. He began to study how light behaves when it passes through water, ice and other materials. On 28 February 1928, he discovered that light changes a little when it is scattered by molecules. This discovery is known as the Raman Effect.

In 1930, he received the Nobel Prize in Physics. He was the first Asian to win a Nobel Prize in science. India gave him the Bharat Ratna in 1954. Every year, 28 February is celebrated as National Science Day in his honour.

Every winter, many beautiful birds come to the lakes, ponds and rivers of Bihar. They are called migratory birds. Some of them fly thousands of kilometres from cold places like Siberia and Mongolia. In those places, the lakes freeze in winter and the birds cannot find food. So they come to our warmer land, where they find water, small fish, insects and water plants.

These birds travel in large groups and often follow the same route every year. Scientists believe that they use the sun, the stars and the shape of the land to find their way. When spring comes, they fly back to their homes to lay eggs.

Sadly, the number of these birds is going down. Some people hunt them, and many wetlands are being filled up for farming and building. We must protect our lakes and ponds and never harm these winter guests.

Questions:

(i) What are migratory birds? (1)
(ii) Why do these birds leave their homes in winter? (2)
(iii) How do they find their way, according to scientists? (2)
(iv) Why is the number of these birds going down? (2)

Gudiya lived in a village near Darbhanga. To reach her school, she had to cross a small bamboo bridge over a stream. One morning in the rainy season, the stream was flowing fast and the water was muddy. As Gudiya stepped on the bridge, she heard a cracking sound. She looked down and saw that two bamboo poles in the middle were broken.

Gudiya stepped back at once. She knew that many children and farmers would soon come that way. She tied her red dupatta to a tree at the end of the bridge as a warning. Then she stood there and stopped everyone who came.

After some time, the village head arrived. When he saw the broken poles, he thanked Gudiya. That very day, the villagers repaired the bridge with new bamboo. At the school assembly the next week, the headmaster praised Gudiya for her presence of mind, and everyone clapped for her.

Curd is a part of almost every meal in Bihar. Many families make it at home every day. But have you ever wondered how milk turns into curd?

The secret lies in tiny living things called bacteria. Not all bacteria are harmful. Some of them, like Lactobacillus, are our friends. When we add a spoonful of old curd to warm milk, we add millions of these bacteria to it. They feed on the sugar present in milk, which is called lactose, and change it into lactic acid. This acid makes the milk thick and gives curd its sour taste.

Bacteria grow best in warm conditions. That is why milk sets into curd quickly in summer but takes much longer in winter. In cold weather, people often keep the pot in a warm corner of the kitchen. Curd is also good for health. It is easy to digest, and its friendly bacteria help our stomach work well.

Questions:

(i) What is the sugar present in milk called? (1)
(ii) How do bacteria turn milk into curd? (2)
(iii) Why does milk set into curd quickly in summer? (2)
(iv) Why is curd good for health? (2)
