Answer
| AFFERENT (SENSORY) NERVE | EFFERENT (MOTOR) NERVE |
| It conducts nerve impulse from receptors to the central nervous system. | It conducts nerve impulse from central nervous system (C.N.S.) to the effectors (muscles and glands) of the body. |
| It is generally made up of pseudounipolar neurons. | It is generally made up of multipolar neurons. |
| Its dendrites are comparatively longer than the axon. | Its axon is comparatively longer than dendrites. |
| Its axon enters into the spinal cord. | Its axon emerges out from C.N.S. |

Given below is the diagram showing metaphase stage of the cell cycle. Read the information and fill in the blanks:
Metaphase is a stage during the process of cell division. It occurs during both mitosis and meiosis.
During metaphase, chromosomes align along the ________(i)________. The metaphase plate is an imaginary plane equidistant from the ________(ii)________. Spindle fibers attach to the ________(iii)________ of chromosomes, Spindle fibres arises from centrioles that are present on the ________(iv)________ poles. Metaphase ensures each daughter cell receives an identical set of ________(v)________.

The diagram alongside refers to an experiment in which the apparatus was set up with the light source 10 cm away from the plant. After 15 minutes the number of bubbles evolved per minute from the cut stem was recorded. The light source was moved to 20 cm away from the plant, left for 15 minutes and the number of bubbles evolved per minute was again recorded. The experiment was repeated with the light source at distances of 40, 60, 80 and 100 cm away from the plant. Plot a graph for the results obtained and answer the following questions.
(i) From the graph it seems likely that the rate of bubbling per minute at 50 cm would have been
(a) 2.0 (b) 2.5 (c) 3.0 (d) 3.5
(ii) The gas produced by the plant during the experiment was
(a) air (b) oxygen (c) carbon dioxide (d) nitrogen (e) hydrogen
(iii) The gas collected comes due to the breakdown of
(a) glucose (b) starch (c) water (d) air (e) ATP
(iv) If ice cubes were added to the water, the rate of bubble formation would
(a) Stay the same.
(b) Increase because more water is added.
(c) Decrease because the temperature drops.
(d) Decrease because water freezes.
(e) Cannot tell from the information given.
(v) If some sodium bicarbonate is added to the water the rate of bubble formation
(a) Increases because more respiration occurs.
(b) Increases because more photosynthesis occurs.
(c) Increases because the gas becomes less soluble.
(d) Decreases because carbon dioxide acts as a limiting factor.
(e) Decreases because respiration decreases.
