It is often recommended that the first aid kit to be kept in the houses must have a small lump of alum. In case, bleeding occurs while doing shave in the bathroom or from a knife cut in the kitchen, alum should be immediately rubbed on the affected portion. Bleeding stops and medical aid if required, can be obtained later on.

 

2. In these questions (Q. No 5-8 , a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason

is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.

PHOTOSYNTHESIS


            Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to prepare their food. This is a biogeochemical processes. It takes place in the chloroplast. The chlorophyll pigments present in chloroplast traps light energy and converts it into carbohydrate(glucose then into starch). During the process water molecules splits by light energy , hydrogen is used for the reduction of carbon dioxide into glucose(sugar carbohydrate) with release of oxygen as a by product.  The carbon dioxide enters the leaf through small openings called as stomata. Each stomata is guarded by two guard cells.

Pesticides Vs Food

Pesticides Vs. Food


          Pesticides are used to protect crops against insects, weeds, fungi and other pests ie., Pesticides are substances that are meant to control pests. The term pesticide includes all of the following: herbicide, insecticides (which may include insect growth regulators, termiticides, etc.) nematicide, molluscicide, piscicide, avicide, rodenticide, bactericide, insect repellent, animal repellent, antimicrobial, and fungicide. Pesticides are potentially toxic to humans and can have both acute and chronic health effects, depending on the quantity and ways in which a person is exposed. Some of the older, cheaper pesticides can remain for years in soil and water. These chemicals have been banned from agricultural use in developed countries, but they are still used in many developing countries. People who face the greatest health risks from exposure to pesticides are those who come into contact with them at work, in their home or garden. Pesticides play a significant role in food production. They protect or increase yields and the number of times per year a crop can be grown on the same land. This is particularly important in countries that face food shortages. To protect food consumers from adverse effects of pesticides, WHO reviews evidence and develops internationally-accepted maximum residue limits.

Q.1.Pesticide have Chronic & Acute both Health effects. Its affect mostly

a. Consumers

b. Sellers

c. Farmers

d. None

Q.2. Countries that are facing food shortage are at high risk of getting the food items with high concentration of pesticides.  T/F
