Q38. Passive transport occurs when substances cross the plasma membrane without any input of energy from the c
No energy is needed because the substances are moving from an area where they have a higher concentration to an
area where they have a lower concentration. Concentration refers to the number of particles of a substance per unit
volume. The more particles of a substance in a given volume, the higher the concentration. A substance always mo
from an area where it is more concentrated to an area where it is less concentrated. It’s a little like a ball rolling dow
hill. It goes by itself without any input of extra energy. Passive transport across the cell membrane is of different ki
depending on the kind of substance that is getting transported like simple diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion e

a. What is osmosis?

b. How does osmosis differ from simple diffusion?

c. What would happen if an egg cell is kept in a concentrated salt solution?

d. How would the behaviour of a plant cell differ from an animal cell when kept in a very dilute solution?
OR
d. How does flexibility of plasma membrane help an amoeba in obtaining its food?

Q39. While catching a fast-moving cricket ball a fielder on the ground gradually pulls his hands backward with the
moving ball. In doing so, the fielder increases the time during which the high velocity of the moving ball decreases
zero. Thus, the acceleration of the ball is decreased and therefore, the impact of catching the fast-moving ball is als
reduced. If the ball is stopped suddenly then its high velocity decreases to zero in a very short interval of time. Thu
the rate of change of momentum of the ball will be large. Therefore, a large force would have to be applied for hold
the catch that may hurt the palm of the fielder.
a. Why does a fast-moving cricket ball cause more injuries to the player than a tennis ball moving with the sam
speed?

b. Find the momentum of a bullet of mass 200g moving at 400 m/s.

c. If the mass of a body and the force acting on it are both doubled, calculate its acceleration.

OR
d. Why are sand beds provided to the athletes?
