Short Answer Questions

Question 1.
Describe microscopic structure of testis of man.
Answer:
The testes or testicles area pair of oval pinkish male primary sex organs suspended outside the abdominal cavity within a pouch called ‘scrotum’. The low temperature (2 – 2.5°C) is maintained in the scrotum to promote spermatogenesis.

Each testis is enclosed in a fibrous envelope, ’tunica albuginea’. The envelope extends inward to form septa that partition the testis into lobules. There are nearly 250 testicular lobules in each testis. Each lobule contains 1 to 3 highly coiled ’seminiferous tubules’. A pouch of serous membrane, called ‘tunica vaginalis’ covers the testis.

Each seminiferous tubule is lined by ‘germinal epithelium’ which consists of undifferentiated male germ cells called ‘spermatogonial mother cells’ and nourishing cells called ‘Sertoli cells’. These cells provide nutrition to spermatozoa and also produce inhibin, that inhibits the secretion of FSH. The region outside the seminiferous tubules contain Leydig cells. These cells produce androgens, the most important is ‘Testosterone’. It controls the development of secondary sexual characters and spermatogenesis. The seminiferous tubules open into ‘vasa efferentia’ through ‘rete testis’. Rete testis is a network of tubules in the testis carrying spermatozoa from seminiferous tubules to vasa efferentia.

Question 2.
Describe the microscopic structure of ovary of woman.
Answer:
Ovaries are the primary female sex organs that produce the ‘female garnets’ or ‘ova’ and several steroid hormones (ovarian hormones). A pair of ovaries is located one on each side of the lower abdomen. The double layered fold of peritoneum connecting the ovary with the wall of abdominal cavity is known as the ‘mesovarium’.

The ovaries are covered on the outside by a’ layer of simple cuboidal epithelium called ‘germinal (ovarian) epithelium. This is actually the visceral peritoneum that envelopes the ovaries. Under this layer there is a dense connective tissue capsule, the ‘tunica albuginea’. The ovarian stroma is distinctly divided into an outer cortex and an inner’ medulla. The cortex is dense and granular due to the presence of numerous ovarian follicles in various stages of development. The medulla is a loose connective tissue with abundant blood vessels, lymphatic vessels and nerve fibers.

Question 3.
Describe the Graafian follicle in woman.
Answer:
During ‘oogenesis’, the formed garnet mother cells or oogonia in each foetal ovary are called primary oocytes. Each primary oocyte gets sorrounded by a flattened layer of follicular cells. It is called ‘primordial follicle’. The follicles become cuboidal and proliferate to produce stratified epithelium made up of cells called granulosa cells. Follicles at this stage of development are called ’primary follicles’. A homogenous membrane, the ‘zona pellucida’ appears between primary oocyte and granulosa cells. The innermost layer of granulosa cells are firmly attached to zona pellucida forming ‘corona radiata’.

A cavity appears in membrane granulosa, it increases in size, wall of follicle becomes thin. As the follicle-expands the stromal cells sorrounding the granulosa become condensed to forma covering called inner theca interna’ and outer ’theca externa’. Now these follicles are called ‘secondary follicles’.

The cells of theca interna secrete a hormone called Oestrogen. At this stage, the primary oocyte within the secondary follicles grows in size and completes ‘meiosi§ I’ forming a large haploid ‘Secondary oocyte’ and a small ‘first polar body’. Then the 2nd meoitic division starts but stops at metaphase. The secondary follicle further changes into the nature follicle called ‘Grafian follicle’. The rupture of graafian follicle by LH results in the release of ovum, a process called ovulation.

Question 5.
Draw a labelled diagram of the female reproductive system.
Answer:
AP Inter 2nd Year Zoology Study Material Chapter 5(a) Human Reproductive System 3

Question 6.
Describe the structure of seminiferous tubule.
Answer:
Seminiferous tubules are present in the lobules of testes. Each seminiferous tubule is lined by the germinal epithelium which consists of undifferentiated male germ cells called spermatogonial mother cells and nourishing cells’ called ‘Sertoli cells’. The spermatogenia produce primary spermatocytes which undergo meoitic division finally leading to the formation of Spermatozoa or sperms (spermatogenesis).
AP Inter 2nd Year Zoology Study Material Chapter 5(a) Human Reproductive System 4

Sertoli cells provide nutrition to spermatozoa and produce a hormone ‘inhibiri which Sertoli cells provide nutrition to spermatozoa and produce a hormone ‘inhibiri which inhibits the secretion of FSH. The regions outside the seminiferous tubules called interstitial spaces, contain Leydig cells. Leydig cells produce androgens, mainly Testosterone that controls the development of secondary sexual characters and spermatogenesis. The seminiferous tubules open into ‘vasa efferentia’ through the ‘rete testis’.

Question 7.
What is Spermatogenesis? Briefly describe the process of Spermatogenesis in man.
Answer:
During puberty, in the testis the immature male germ cells, spermatogonia produce sperms by spermatogenesis. The spermatogonial stem cells in seminiferous tubules multiply by repeated mitotic divisions and develops> into primary spermatocytes with 46 chromosomes. A primary spermatocyte undergoes first meiotic division to produce 2 equal sized haploid ‘secondary spermatocyte’ which have only 23 chromosomes. These undergo second meotic division to produce four haploid ’spermatidis’ which intum transform into spermatozoa (sperms) by the process called spermoigenesis. After spermiogenesis, sperm heads become embedded is Sertoli cells, and are finally released from the seminiferous tubules by the process ‘spermiation’.
AP Inter 2nd Year Zoology Study Material Chapter 5(a) Human Reproductive System 6

Spermatogenesis starts at the age of puberty due to increase in the secretion of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), produced from hypothalamus. The increased levels of GnRH intum stimulates pituitary gland to produce two gonadotropins.
a) Lutenising Hormone (LH)
b) Follicular Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

LH acts on Leydig cells and stimulates the secretion of androgens. Androgens inturn stimulate the process of spermato-genesis. FSH acts on Sertoli cells and stimulates secretion of some factors which help in the process of Spermio-genesis.

Question 8.
What is Oogenesis? Give a brief account of Oogenesis in a woman.
Answer:
The process of formation of mature female gamqtds called ‘Oogenesis’. It is initiated during the embryonic development stage when a couple of million garnet mother cells (oogonia) are formed within each foetal ovary and do not multiply thereafter. These cells start division and stop the process at prophase I qf the meiosis-I. At this stage they are called primary oocytes.
AP Inter 2nd Year Zoology Study Material Chapter 5(a) Human Reproductive System 7

Each primary Oocyte is sorrounded by a flattened layer of follicular cells, it is called orimary follicle. These follicular cells become cuboidal and proliferate to produce a stratified epithelium called membrana granulosa. These cells are called granulosa cells. Follicles at this stage are called primary follicles. A homogenous membrane, the ‘zona pellucida’, appears between primary oocyte and granulosa cells.

A cavity appears within the membrana granulosa increases in size and the wall of follicle becomes thin. The oocyte lies eccentrically in the follicle sorrounded by granulosa cells. As the follicle expands the stromal cells sorrounding membrana granulosa become condensed to form a inner covering ‘theca interna’ and outer covering ‘theca externa’. Now these are called ‘secondary follicles’.

The cells of theca interna later secrete a hormone called ’oestrogen1. The primary oocyte within the graafian undergoes two meoitic divisons, finally changing into a Graafian follicle’. The Graafian follicle is at first very small, later it enlarges, becomes so big that it not only reaches the surface of ovary, but also forms a bulging in this situation. Ultimately the follicle ruptures releasing the ovum.

Question 9.
Draw a labelled diagram of Graafian follicle.
Answer:
AP Inter 2nd Year Zoology Study Material Chapter 5(a) Human Reproductive System 8

Question 10.
In our society women are often blamed for giving birth to daughters. Can you explain why this is not correct?
Answer:
The sex of a child depends on the male parent but not on female parent. The sex of the baby has been decided at the time of fertilization itself. The chromosome pattern in human female is XX and that in the male is XY. Therefore all the haploid garnets produced by the female (ova) have the sex chromosome X, whereas the male garnets (sperms) have either X chromosome or Y chromosome. 50 percent of sperms carry the X chromosome while th^ other 50 percent carry the Y chromosome.

After fusion of the male and female garnets the zygote would carry either XX or XY depending on what type of sperm fertilised the ovum. The zygote carrying ‘XX would develop into a female child and that with XY would form a male child. So, the sex of a child depends on the male parent (heterogametic parent) but not on mother.

Question 11.
Describe the accessory glands associated with male reproductive system of man.
Answer:
The male accessory glands are :
a) Seminal vesicles
b) Prostate gland
c) Bulbourethral glands

a) Seminal vesicles :
The seminal vesicles are a pair of simple tubular glands present postero-inferior to the urinary bladder in the pelvis. Each seminal vesicle opens into cprresponding vas deferens thus enters into prostate gland. The secretion of the seminal vesicles constitutes about 60 percent of the volume of seminal fluid. It is an alkaline, viscous fluid that contains fructose, proteins, citric acid, inorganic phosphorous, potassium and prostaglandins. Fructose is main energy source for the sperm and prostaglandins aid fertilization by causing mucous lining of the cervix to be more receptive to sperm as well as by aiding the movement of sperm towards the ovum.

b) Prostate gland :
Prostate gland is located directly beneath the urinary bladder. The gland sorrounds the ‘prostatic urethra’ and sends its secretions through several prostatic ducts. In man, the prostate contributes 15-30 percent of the semen. The prostate secretion activates spermatozoa and provides nutrition.

c) Bulbourethral glands :
They are also called ‘cowper’s glands’, are located beneath the prostate gland at the beginning of the internal portion of the penis. They add an alkaline fluid to semen during the process of ejaculation. The fluid secreted by these glands lubricates the urethra. It also functions as a flushing agent, that washes out the acidic urinary residues that remaindn urethra, before the semen is ejaculated.

Question 12.
Describe the placenta in a women.
Answer:
Placenta is a structural and functional unit of both chorionic villi and uterine tissue and it develops between the embryo (foetus) and the mother. The maternal and foetal blood do not mix with each other. They are seperated by the placental membrane.

The placenta consists of two essential portions : a maternal part of the placenta derived from the endometrium of the uterus and foetal membranes of the foetal part of the placenta.

The maternal components of the Placenta are : .

Uterine epithelium
terine connective tissue
Uterine capillary endothelium.

The foetal components of the Placenta are :

Foetal capillary endothelium
Foetal connective tissue
Foetal chorionic epithelium.

The Placenta of human is called chorioallantoic placenta’as allantois fuse with chorion in the process of vascularisation. Placenta is discoidal as the Villi are restricted to the dorsal surface of blastodisc. Placenta is haemochorial as the maternal blood comes into direct contact with foetal chorion. During parturition the placenta is cast off with the loss of embryonic membranes and the encapsulating maternal tissues (decidua) causing extensive haemorrhage and there by bleeding. So, it is also called deciduate placenta.

Functions of placenta :

Supplies Oxygen and nutrients to the embryo.
Removes CO₂ and excretory materials produced by embryo.
Secretes Progesterone which is essential for maintenance of pregnancy after 4^th month.
Secretes Oestrogens (mainly estradiol) that reach maternal blood and promote uterine growth and development of mammary glands.
Secretes Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) that is similar to luteinizing hormone is its action. This hormone is also used as indicator in the detection of pregnancy is early stages.
Somatomammotropin secreted by placenta has an anti-insulin effect on the mother leading to increased plasma levels of glucose and aminoacids in the maternal circulation. In this way it increases the availability of these materials to the foetus.

Long Answer Questions

Question 1.
Describe female reproductive system of a woman with the help of a labelled diagram.
Answer:
The female reproductive system consists of a pair of ovaries along with a pair of oviducts, uterus, vagina and the external genetalia located in the pelvic region. These parts of the system along with a pair of mammary glands are integrated structurally and functionally to support the processes of ovulation, fertilization, pregnancy, birth and child care.
AP Inter 2nd Year Zoology Study Material Chapter 5(a) Human Reproductive System 10

1) Ovaries :
Ovaries are the primary female sex organs that produce the female gametes (ova) and several steroid hormones (ovarian hormones). A pair of ovaries is located on each side of lower abdomen. The double layered fold of peritoneum connecting the ovary with the wall of abdominal cavity is known as the meso ovarium.

The Ovaries are covered by a layer of’germinal (ovarian) epithelium. Underneath this layer, there is a dense connective tissue capsule called, ‘tunica albuginea’. The ovarian stroma is distinctly divided into an outer cortex and an inner medulla. The cortex appears more dense and granular due to numerous ovarian follicles. The medulla is a loose connective tissue with abundant blood vessels, lymphatic vessels and nerve fibres.

2) Fallopian tubes (oviducts) :
Each fallopian tube extends from the periphery of each ovary to the uterus and it bears a funnel shaped infundibulum, with finger like projections called ‘fimbriae’, which help in collection of ovum after ‘ovulation’.

The infundibulum leads to a wider part of the oviduct called ‘ampulla’. The last part of the oviduct, ‘isthmus’ has a narrow lumen and it joins the uterus. Fallopian tube is the site of fertilization. It conducts the ovum or zygote towards the uterus by peristalsis. The fallopian tube is attached to the abdominal wall by a peritoneal fold called ‘meso salpinx’.

3) Uterus :
The uterus is a single and it is also called womb. It is a large, muscular, highly vascular and inverted pear-shaped structure present in the pelvis between the bladder and rectum. The lower narrow part through which the uterus opens into the vagina is called ’cervix’. The cavity of the cervix is called ‘cervical canal’ which along with the vagina forms the ‘birth canal’.

The wall of the uterus has three layers of tissue. The external thin membranous ‘perimetrium’, the middle thick layer of ‘myometrium’ and inner glandulas lining layer”chlled ‘endometrium’. The endometrium undergoes cyclic changes during menstrual cycle while myometrium exhibits strong contractions during parturition.

4) Vagina :
The vagina is a large, median, fibromuscular tube that extends from the cervix to the vestibule (the space between labia minora). It is lined by non- keratinised stratified squamous epithelium. It is highly vascular and opens into the vestibule by the vaginal orifice.

5) Vulva:
Vulva or pudendum refers to the external genitals of the female. The vestibule has two apertures – the upper external urethral orifice of the urethra and the lower vaginal orifice of vagina. Vaginal orifice is covered by a mucous membrane ‘hymen’. vestibule is bound by two pairs of fleshly folds of tissue called inner ‘labia minora’ and outer larger ‘labia majora’. Clitoris is a sensitive, erectile structure, that lies at the upper junction of the two labia minora above the urethral opening. There is a cushion of fatty tissue covered by skin and pubic hair present above the labia major, called mons pubis.

Accessory reproductive glands of female : These include; .

a) Bartholin’s glands :
These are two glands located slightly posterior and to the left and right of the opening of the vagina! They secrete mucus to lubricate the vagina and are homologous to the bulbourethral glands of the male reproductive system.

b) Skene’s glands :
These are located on the anterior wall of vagina, around the lower end of the urethra. They secrete a lubricating fluid when stimulated. The skene’s glands are homologous to the prostate gland of the male reproductive system.

c) Mammary glands :
These are paired structures that contain glandular tissue and fat. The alveoli cells present in the mammary lobes of each glandular tissue secrete milk, which is stored in cavities of alveoli. The alveoli open into mammary tubes and then to mammary ducts, from there to mammary ampulla and finally connected to lactiferous duct through which milk is sucked out by the baby.

Question 2.
Describe male reproductive system of a man. Draw a labelled diagram of it.
Answer:
The male reproductive system or male genital system consists of a number of sex organs that are a part of the human reproductive process. The sex organs which are located in the pelvic region include a pair of testes, accessory ducts, glands and external genitalia.

1) Testes:
The testes are a pair of oval pinkish male sex organs suspended in abdominal cavity within a pouch called scrotum. The scrotum helps in maintaining the low temperature of the testes (2-2.5°C) necessary for spermatogenesis. The cavity of- scrotal sac is connected to the abdominal cavity through the ’inguinal canal’ Testes is held in position in the scrotum of the ‘gubemaculum’, a fibrous cord that connects the testis with the bottom of scrotum and a ‘spermatic Cord’, formed by the vas deferens, nerves, blood vessels and other tissues that run from abdomen down to each testicle, through inguinal cartal.

Each testis is enclosed in a fibrous envelope, ’tunica albuginea’, which extends inwards into testis and divide it into lobules. Each lobule contains 1 to 3 highly coiled seminiferous tubules. A pouch of serous membrane ‘tunica vaginalis’ covers the testis.
AP Inter 2nd Year Zoology Study Material Chapter 5(a) Human Reproductive System 11

Miniferous tubules :
Each seminiferous tubule is lined by ‘germinal epithelium’ which consists of undifferentiated male gum cells called ’spermatogonial mother cells’ and it also bears ‘nourishing cells’ called ‘sertoli cells’.

→ Spermatogonial cells (or) primary spermatocytes undergo meiotic division, producing spermatozoa or sperms by a process spermatogenesis.

→ Sertoli cells provide nutrition to spermatozoa and produce a hormone ‘inhibin’, which inhibits secretion of FSH.

The region outside the tubules, contain interstitial cells of ‘Leydig cells’. They produce androgens, the most important in testosterone. It controls the development of secondary sexual characters and spermatogenesis. The seminiferous tubules open into vasa efferntia through the rete testis. Rete testis is a network of tubules is of the testis carrying spermatozoa from the seminiferous tubules to the vasa efferentia,

2) Epididymis :
The vasa efferntia leave the testis and open into a narrow, tightly coiled tube called ‘epididymis’ located along the posterior surface of each testis. The epididymis provides a storage space for sperms and gives them time tofrnature.

It is differentiated into three regions.

Caput epididymis
Corpus epididymis
Cauda epididymis

The caput epididymis receives spermatozoa via the vasa efferntia of the mediastinum testis. It is mass of a connective tissue at the back of the testis that encloses the rete testis. . .

3) Vasa deferentia :
The vas deferens or ductus deferent is a long, narrow mascular tube. The mucosa of the ductus deferens consists of a pseudo stratified columnar epithelium and lamina propia. It starts from the tail of epididymis, passes through the inguinal canal into the abdomen and loops over the urinary bladder. It receives a duct from seminal vesicle.

The vas deferens and the duct of the seminal vesicle units to form a ‘short ejaculatory duct’ or ‘ductus ejaculatorius’ . The two ducts, carrying spermatozoa and the fluid secreted by the seminal vesicles, converge in the centre of prostate and open into urethra, which transports the sperms to outside.

4) Urethra :
In male, Urethra is the shared terminal duct of the reproductive and urinary systems. The urethra originates from urinary bladder and extends through the penis to its external opening called ‘urethral meatus’. The urethra provides an exit for urine as well as semen during ejaculation.

5) Penis :
Urethra opens into the major copulatory organ of male, the ‘penis’. The penis and scrotum constitute the male external genitalia. The penis serves as a urinal duct and intromittent organ the transfers spermatozoa to the vagina of a female.

The penis is made up of three columns of tissue : two upper Corpora cavernosa on the dorsal aspect and one Corpus spongiosum on the ventral side. Skin and a subcutaneous layer encloses all three columns, which consists of special tissue that helps in erection of penis. The enlarged and bulbous end of penis is called ‘glans penis’, which is covered by a loose fold of skin (foreskin) called prepuce.

Male accessory glands : Male accessory glands are :
a) Seminal vesicles (b) Prostate glands (c) Bulbourethral glands

a) Seminal vesicles:
These are a pair of simple tubular glands present postero-inferior to the urinary bladder in the pelvis. Each seminal vesicle enters prostate gland through vas deferens. The vesicles produce seminal fluid rich is fructose, proteins, citric acid, in organic phosphorus, potassium and prostaglandins. All these serve sperm cells.

b) Prostate gland :
It is located directly beneath the urinary bladder. The gland surrounds the ‘Prostatic urethra’, and sends its secretions through prostatic ducts. The prostatic secretion activates spermatozoa and provides nutrition. In man, the prostate contributes 15-30% of the semen.

c) Bulbourethral glands :
These are also called cowper’s glands located beneath the prostate gland at the beginning of the internal portion of the penis. They add an alkaline fluid to semen and the fluid secreted by them lubricates urethra. It acts as flushing agent washing out the acidic urinary residues that remain in the urethra, before the semen is ejaculated.

Question 3.
Write an essay on different events that occur during development of a human.
Answer:
During the development of zygote into a human, a series of events takes place in mother’s womb. They are :

I. Fertilisation
II. Gastrulation
III. Organogenesis
IV. Placenta formation
V. Pregnancy and Parturition.

I. Fertilisation:
It is the formation of zygote by fusing ovum with sperms. Sperm makes it way through corona radiata and zona pellucida. Acrosin released from acrosome of sperm dis¬solves zona pellucida of ovum and easiers penetration of sperm into ovum. The entry of sperm, induces the comple- tion of meiosis of ovum. The nuclear union results in the formation of synkaryon (zygotic nucleus).
AP Inter 2nd Year Zoology Study Material Chapter 5(a) Human Reproductive System 12

After fertilisation the events that follow are :
1) Cleavage :
After the fertilisation, the first phase of embryonic development in cleavage of zygote as it moves through the isthmus of the oviduct towards the uterus. The daughter cells are called blastomeres.

2) Morula :
Morula is a solid mass of cells and is developed in the fallopian tube and reaches the uterus for further development. The morula passes through a process called compaction, after which the embryo has a superficial flat cell layer and inner cell mass. The outer superficial layer becomes the ‘trophoblast’ that serves to attach the embryo to the uterine wall and the inner cell mass constitutes formative cells, which give rise to the ’embryo proper’, also called the ’embryoblast’.

3) Blastocyst:
Some fluid passes into the morula from uterine cavity thus seperating the inner cell mass from trophoblast. As the quantity of fluid increases, the morula acquires a cyst shape. The cells of trophoblast become flattened and the inner cell mass attaches to the innerside of trophoblast on one side only. The morula now becomes a ‘blastocyst’.

The cavity of the blastocyst is the blastocoeV or ‘segmentation cavity’ or ‘primary body cavity’. The side of blastocyst to which the inner cell mass is attached is called ’embryonic’ or animal pole1, while the opposite side is the ‘abembryonic pole’. The cells of the trophoblast above the region of inner cell mass are called ‘cells of rauber’.

4) Implantation :
The zona pellicida around the blastocoel disappears and cells of trophoblast stick to the uterine endometrium. The trophoblast invades endometrium and gets implanted into if, called ‘interstitial implantation’, which .starts on the 6th day after fertilisation. After the implantation, the uterine endometrium is differentiated into ‘decidua’.

a) The portion of the decidua where the placenta is to be formed is called the ‘decidua basalis’.
b) The part of the decidua that seperates the embryo from the uterine lumen is called the ’decidua capsularis’.
c) The part lining the rest of the uterine cavity is called the decidua perietalis.

At the end of pregnancy the decidua is shed off, along with the placenta and membranes.

AP Inter 2nd Year Zoology Study Material Chapter 5(a) Human Reproductive System 13

5) Formation of Bilaminar Embryonic disc :
The inner cell mass of blastocyst forms into a disc called ’embryonic disc’. Then the ‘cells of Rauber’ disapearts, some cells get seperated by delamination and eventually forms a layer of cells, that further develops into the hypoblast, which is the future extra embryonic endoderm. The remaining part of the disc is called ‘epiblast’. Now the embryonic disc is called ‘bilaminar embryonic disc’.

The hypoblast layer below the trophoblast encloses a cavity called ‘yolk sac’ or i ’umblical vesicle’. Gradually the embryonic disc becomes oval.

II. Gastrulation :
Gastrulation involves proliferation, differentiation of movement of cells with in the embryo. Along the longitudinal axis of the embryonic disc, a primitive streak is formed. A longitudinal furrow, ‘primitive groove’ forms along the middle of primitive streak. On either side of it are the ‘primitive folds’. Anteriorly primitive streak has a shallow primitive pit. The thickened part of streak is called ‘primitive knot’ or ‘primitive node’ or ‘Hansen’s node’.

1) Trilaminar Embryo:
The furture epidermal cells from epiblast, forms the endoderm of embryo. The remaining epiblast is known as ‘ectoderm’. The invasion of epiblast cells into space between the epiblast and hypoblast is called gastrulation. The process of gastrulation converts the bilaminar embryonic disc to trilaminar embryonic disc.

2) Extra embryonic membranes :
Now four extra embryonic or foetal membranes are formed. They are chorion, amnion, allantios and yolk sac.

Between the amnion and the embryo, there is an ‘amniotic cavity’ filled with aminiotic fluid, that acts as shock absorber and also prevents embryo from shock.
Allantios and chorion are fused to form ‘chorio allantoic membrane’ which constitute placenta.
Yolk sac encloses a fluid cavity, it has no nutritive value.

III. Organogenesis :
In involves series of stages.
1) Formation of Notochord and Neural tube :
The chora mesodermal cells converge and involute through Hensen’s node and extends forward as ‘notochordal process’. This later transforms into a solid rod – ‘notochord’. The notochord mesoderm induces the overlying endodermal cells to form neural cells which further changes into a neural tube by a process called neurlation.

2) Differentiation of Mesoderm and Formation of Coelom:
The longitudinal column of mesoderm adjacent to neural tube on either side is called ‘epimere’ and the mesoderm around the gut is ‘hypomere’. The mesoderm in between these two is ‘mesomere’. The ‘somites’ of epimere differentiate into myotome, sclerotome and dermatome.

Sclerotome – forms the vertebral column
Dermatome – forms the dermis of the skin
Myotome – forms the voluntary muscles of the body

The hypomere splits into outer somatic a.ij inner splanchnic mesodermal layers.

Intra embryonic coelom is formed in between these two layers, which given rise to oericardial, pleural and peritoneal cavities.

IV. Placenta famation :
The chorionic villi and uterine tissue interdigitate with each, other to form a structural and functional unit called ‘placenta’ between the foetus and the mother. The maternal and foetal blood are seperated by ‘placental membrane.

Functions of Placenta :

Supplies O₂ and nutrients to the embryo.
Removes CO₂ and waste materials from embryo.
Progesterone secreted by it essential for maintenance of pregnancy.
Oestrogen secreted by it promotes uterine growth.
hCG produced is used as a test to detect pregnancy.
Somato mammotropin increases glucose levels of plasma.

V Pregnancy and Parturition :
Pregnancy :
It is the intra uterine development of embryo and foetus. In humans it is 266 days (38 weeks) from the fertilization of egg.

Events during pregnancy:
Human gestation can be divided into 3 trimesters of three months each. The events are :
One month – Embryo’s heart is formed
Second month – Foetus develops limbs and digits
Third month – Major organs are formed
Fifth month – First movements and appearance of hair and head.
Six months – Body is covered with fine hair, eye lids seperate and eye lashes are formed.
Nine months – Foetus is fully developed.

Parturition :
The process of delivery of foetus after labour is called parturition and is favoured by hormone oxytocin that causes stronger uterine contractions. This leads to the expulsion of baby out of the uterus through the birth canal.

Answer:
While studying the constitution of the stars, he has proved that the maximum mass that a white dwarf can have is 1.4 times the solar mass. This mass is known as Chandrasekhar limit. If a star crosses this limit, it has to face a catostropic collapse.

Additional Exercises

Question 1.
Some of the most profound statements on the nature of science have come from Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientists of all time. What do you think Einstein meant when he said : “The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible” ?
Answer:
The physical world when seen by a layman, presents us with such a wide diversity of things. It seems incomprehensible, ie as if it can not be understood. On study and analysis, the scientists find that the physical phenomena from atomic to astronomical ranges can be understood interms of only a few basic concepts i.e., the physical world becomes comprehensible. This is what is meant by Einsteins statement mode above.

Question 2.
“Every great physical theory starts as a heresy and ends as a dogma”. Give some examples from the history of science of the validity of this incisive remark.
Answer:
The statement is true. For example, in ancient times, ptolemy postulated that earth is stationary and all heavy bodies like sum, stars, planets etc revolve around the earth, Later an Italian Scientist Galileo was postulated that sun is stationary and earth along with other planets is revolving around the sun. Galileo was punished by the authorities for spreading wrong concepts. How ever later on newton and kepler supported Galileo’s theory and now it is no more than a dogma.

Question 3.
“Politics is the art of the possible”. Similarly. “Science is the art of the soluble”. Explain this beautiful aphorism on the nature and practice of science.
Answer:
It is well known that to win over vots, politicians would make anything and everything possible even when they are least sure of the same. The statement that science is the art of the soluble implies that a wide variety of physical phenomena are understood in terons of only a few basic concepts ie there appears to be unity in diversity as if widely different phenomena are soluble and can be explained in terms of only a few fundamental laws.

Question 4.
Though India now has a large base in science and technology, which is fast expanding, it is still a long way from realising its potential of becoming a world leader in science. Name some important factors which in your view have hindered the advancement of science in India.
Answer:
In my view some important factors which have hindered the advancement of science in india are

Lack of education.
Poverty, which leads to lack of resources and lack of infrastructure.
Pressure of increasing population.
lack of scientific planning.
Lack of development of work culture and self discipline.

Question 5.
No physicist has ever “seen” an electron. Yet, all physicists believe in the existence of electrons. An intelligent but superstitious man advances this analogy to argue that ‘ghosts’ exist even though no one has ‘seen’ one. How will you refute his argument ?
Answer:
No physicist has every seen an electron. This is true. But there is so much of Evidence that establishes the existance of electrons, on the contrary, there is hardly any evidence, direct (or) indirect to establish the existance of ghosts’.

Question 6.
The shells of crabs found around a particular coastal location in Japan seem mostly to resemble that legendary face of Samurai. Given below are two explanations of this observed fact. Which of these strikes you as a scientific explanation ?
(a) A tragic sea accident several centuries ago drowned a young Samurai. As a tribute to his bravery, nature through its inscrutable ways immortalised his face by imprinting it on the crab shells in that area.
(b) After the sea tragedy, fishermen in that area, in a gesture of honour to their dead hero, let free any crab shell caught by them which accidentally had a shape resembling the face of a Samurai. Consequently, the particular shape of the crab shell survived longer and therefore in course of time the shape was genetically propagated. This is an example of evolution by artificial selection.
[Note : This interesting illustration taken from Carl Sagan’s The Cosmos’ highlights the fact that often strange and inexplicable facts which on the first sight appear ‘supernatural’ actually turn out to have simple scientific explanations. Try to think out other examples of this kind).
Answer:
Explanation (b) is a scientific explanation of the observed fact.

Question 7.
The industrial revolution in England and Western Europe more than two centuries ago was triggered by some key scientific and technological advances. What were these advances ?
Answer:
Industrial revolution in England and western Europe in 1750 A.D. was triggered by some key scientific and technological advances. Development of steam engine, blast furnace and cotton gin and power loom are some of the examples.

Question 8.
It is often said that the world is witnessing now a second industrial revolution, which will transform the society as radically as did the first. List some key contemporary areas of science and technology,which are responsible fo this revolution.
Answer:
Some of the key contemparary areas of science and technology which may transform the society radically are

Development of superconducting materials at room temperature –
Development of superfast computers
Information explosion and advances in information technology
Developments in biotechnology
Developments of robots.

Question 9.
Write in about 1000 words is fiction piece on the science and technology of the twenty second century.
Answer:
Imagine a space ship heading towards a star about 100.light years away. It is propelled by electric current generated by electromagnetic induction, as the space ship crosses the magnetic fields in space the current is given to an electric motor made of super conducting wires. Thus no energy would be required to propagate the space ship over it extire journey.

In a particular region of the space, suppose the temperature becomes so high that the super conducting property of the wires of the motor is destroyed. This causes a panic in the space ship because no power is generated by the motor.

In a split second, another space ship filled with matter and antimatter stored in different compartments to produce energy for the first ship comes to its rescue. And the first ship continues its onward Journey.

Question 10.
Attempt to formulate your ‘moral’ views on the practice of science. Imagine yourself stumbling upon a discovery, which has great academic interest but is certain to have nothing but dangerous consequences for the human society. How, it at all, will you resolve your dilemma ?
Answer:
Science is search for truth. If a discovery is of great academic interest, but is sure to have dangerous consequences for the human society, it must be made public. To reveal the truth and the means to prevent its misuse, both are the responsibilities of the scientist. For example, discovery of nuclear fission led to generation of electric power, and also to the development of an atom bomb, a weapon of mass destruction . The humanity at large has to be educated to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

Question 11.
Science, like any knowledge, can be put to good or bad use, depending on the user. Given below are some of the applications of science. Formulate your views on whether the particular application is good, bad or something that cannot be so clearly categorised:
a) Mass vaccination against small pox to curb and finally eradicate this disease from the population. (This has already been successfully done in India).
b) Television for eradication of illiteracy and for mass communication of news and ideas.
c) Prenatal sex determination
d) Computers for increase in work efficiency
e) Putting artificial satellites into orbits around the Earth
f) Development of nuclear weapons
g) Development of new and powerful techniques of chemical and biological warfare).
h) Purification of water for drinking
i) Plastic surgery
j) Cloning
Answer:
a) Mass Vaccination is good
b) Television for eradication of illeteracy and for mass communication of news and ideas is really good.
c) Prenatal sex determination is not bad, but people are misusing it. they must be educated to avoid its misuse in creating inbalance between the male arid female population.
d) computers for increase in work efficiency are good.
e) Putting artificial satellites in to orbits around the earth is a good development.
f) Development of nuclear weapons is bad as they are the weapons of mass destruction.
g) Development of new and powerful techniques of chemical and biological warfare is real bad as these weapons are destruction of mankind.
h) purification of water for drinking is good.
i) Plastic surgery is good.
j) Cloning is also good.

Question 12.
India has had a long and unbroken tradition of great scholarship – in mathematics, astronomy, linguistics, logic and ethics. Yet, in parallel with this, several superstitious and obscurantistic attitudes and practices flourished in our society and unfortunately continue even today – among many educated people too. How will you use your knowledge of science to develop strategies to counter these attitudes ?
Answer:
Educating the common man is the only way to get rid of superstitious and obscurantistic attitudes. The mass media like news papers, magazines, radio, T.V. etc can play vital role school and colleges curricula can be suitably developed and teachers can take this responsibility.

Question 13.
Though the law gives women equal status in India, many people hold unscientific views on a woman’s innate nature, capacity and intelligence, and in practice give them a secondary status and role. Demolish this view using scientific arguments, and by quoting examples of great women in science and other spheres; and persuade yourself and others that, given equal opportunity, women are on par with men.
Answer:
Given equal opportunity, women are at par with men. Development of human mind depends basically on nutrition content of prenatal and postnatal diet, and also on the care and use of the mind. There is no gender bias involved. Anything which can be achieved by man’s mind can also be achieved by women’s mind. Madam curie won Nobel Prize in physics. Mother teresa proved herself a saint. In politics Mrs. Indira Gandhi, Mr. Margarettheatcher, Mr’s. Bhandarnaike excelled others.

Question 14.
“It is more important to have beauty in the equations of physics than to have them agree with experiments”. The great British physicist. P. A. M. Dirac held this view. Criticize this statement. Look out for some equations and results in this book which strike you as beautiful.
Answer:
The statement of great British physicist P.A.M. Dirac is partially true. For example f = ma; E = mc² are some of simple and beautiful equations of physics which have universal application.

However, there is not the case always. The equations involved in general theory of relativity, some of the least works of higher physics are neither simple nor beautiful, they are rather difficult to understand.

Question 15.
Thought the statement quoted above may be disputed, most physicists do have a feeling that the great laws of physics are at once simple and beautiful. Some of the notable physicists, besides Dirac, who have articulated this feeling, are : Einstein, Bohr. Heisenberg, Chandrasekhar and Feynman: You are urged to make special efforts to get access to the general books and writings by these and other great masters of physics. (See th§ Bibliography at the end of this book.) Their writings are truly inspiring !
Answer:
General books on physics make an interesting reading, students are advised to consult a good library. Surely you are Joking Mr. Feynman by Feynman is one of the books that would amuse the students. Some other interesting books are : physics for the inquiring mind by E.M, Rogers; physics. Foundations and frontiers by G. Gamow; thirty years that shook physics by G. Gamow; physics can be fun by perelman.

Question 16.
Textbooks on science may give you a wrong impression that studying science is dry and all too serious and that scientists are absent-minded introverts who never laugh or grin. This image of science and scientists is patently false. Scientists, like any other group of humans, have their share of humorists, and many have led their lives with a great sense of fun and adventure, even as they seriously pursued their scientific work. Two great physicists of this genre are Gamow and Feynman. You will enjoy reading their books listed in the Bibliography.
Answer:
True, scientists like any other group of humans have their share of humorists ; lively, jovial, fun loving, adventurist people, some of them are absent minded introvert too. Students are advised to go through books by two great physicists, Feynman and Gamow to realise this view.

Answer:
Once, a flock of rams was moving in a forest. On their way, the rams came across some bait spread on a big blanket. They came near the bait in order to eat it. All the rams fell into a deep pit. They did not know that the blanket had a deep pit under it.

There was a old ram. He did not want to eat the bait. So, he stayed away and was safe. He brought some dry twigs and sticks and dropped them in the pit one after the other. Thus, he made a big pite of sticks.

With the help of the sticks and twigs, the rams came out one after the other. All of them thanked the old ram.

Answer:

Friday, 10 June 20xx,
8 p.m.

Dear Diary,

I can’t understand the emperor ! Chitra Varma is the best painter in our kingdom. There is no doubt in it. But, he is only a painter ! How can a painter discharge the duties of a chief advisor? I think the emperor’s decision is not correct. Though I try to tell him some-thing about his decision of making/appointing the painter as the chief advisor, the emperor doesn’t pay any attention to my words. The emperor will realize his mistake very soon !

Rudolph made her Olympic debut at the 1956 Melbourne Games. Aged just 16, she was a member of the American 4×100 m relay team that claimed a bronze medal.

The 1960 Rome Games provided the defining moments of Rudolph’s extraordinary life story. She stormed to gold in the 100 m, 200 m and 4×100 m relay, breaking three world records in the process. She was dubbed “The Black Gazelle” by the European press for her speed, beauty and grace.

Imagine that you were Nandini and write a reply to Kalyani giving the details about the alternatives for single use plastic.

Kadiri.
20th July 2019.

Dear Kalyani,

I received your letter and noted the contents. I felt strange when I read about your experience. I think that the animals made a clever task and taught us a great lesson.

In our school, our science teachers are trying to find some alternatives for single use plastic. For many years, we have been using plastic for many purposes. We cannot find a place without plastic. To reduce the use of single use plastic, we can use some alternatives. We can replace single-use cups, kitchen storage, lunch boxes, and more with stainless steel. We can use recyclable glass to store jam, honey, pickles, nut, butters, etc. We can use paper bags or cloth bags instead of plastic bags. Wooden things can replace plastic in household items like cleaning brushes, kitchen utensils, and cutting boards. Cardboard can be used for packing.

If we do not find alternatives for single use plastic, our environment will be spoiled. So we should take care of it.

Convey my regards to your friends.

Yours lovingly,
Nandini.

GROUP DISCUSSION

Work in groups of three or four and choose an item. Discuss its importance and different ways of saving and conserving.

1. electricity
2. water
3. paper
4. trees

For example:

Paper is one of the most useful things in our lives. Before paper was invented people had to write on barks of trees and sometimes cloth. Now we use paper for many different purposes. It has many uses. We need it to write on, for making envelopes, bags and books. We must not waste paper and must learn how to recycle waste material into paper. It may be a good idea to make sure paper is not wasted and to use recycled paper whenever we can.
Answer:
ELECTRICITY
There’s a direct connection between your energy use and the environment. When you consume less power, you reduce the amount of toxic fumes released by power plants, conserve the earth’s natural resources and protect ecosystems from destruction. By taking steps to reduce your energy intake, you’ll contribute to a healthier and happier world.

Some ways to conserve energy:

Take advantage of a home energy audit.
Repair any electrical issues in the home.
Invest in energy-efficient appliances for the home.
Switch to LED light bulbs.
Set the water heater to the lowest comfortable setting.
Do laundry efficiently.
Turn off televisions, radios and computer monitors when not in use.

WATER
Water is a priceless gift for humanity by nature. Life is possible on earth due to water. In India and other countries people are battling water scarcity while three-fourths of the earth is surrounded by water. Due to the water scarcity, people teach us to save water and protect the environment, life and the world because of the difficulties faced by people in different areas.
Water is the most important source of life on Earth because we need water to fulfill all the activities of life like drinking, eating, bathing, making clothes and producing crops. Without water pollution we need to save water for proper supply of water for the future generation. We must stop the wa^te of water, use the water properly and should maintain the quality of water.

TREES
Importance of tree plantation is insisted upon right from pur school days because planting trees is not only good for us but for the entire universe.

Tree plantation is given so much importance because Of its varied benefits.

Some of the significant benefits are listed below:

Trees inhale carbofi dioxide and various other harmful gases and exhale oxygen which is needed for human beings to survive.
Trees act as the source of food and shelter for birds, animals and also human beings.
Trees help in preventing soil erosion, thereby improving the fertility of soil.

Ways to Emphasize the Importance of Tree Plantation :
Today many schools, colleges and even business organizations are allocating few days of the year exclusively for planting trees. This is a good initiative and must be encouraged in order to make people aware about the importance of tree plantation.

Even politicians and celebrities plant saplings and act as a role model for the future generation.

It is high time we the residents of this planet, appreciated the importance of tree plantation and started contributing for a greener planet.

Project Work

Over the last ten years we have produced more plastic than what we have done in the last century.

Now it is high time we used alternatives especially for single use plastics.

Work in groups and collect information on the following.

Single Use Plastics	Alternatives
1. Plastic glasses
2. Plastic bags
3. Plastic plates

Answer:

Single Use Plastics	Alternatives
1. Plastic glasses	Steel / paper glasses
2. Plastic bags	Paper bags / cloth bags

A Lesson For All Summary

Mr. Vamsi was waiting for the newspaper. Mrs. Rupa and others were waiting for their milkman. They did not understand why the paper boy and the milkman were late. Meanwhile, they found a lot of litter and garbage on their street. At the same time, Mrs. Geetha’s daughter Kalyani got injured because of a broken glass bottle. Dr. Swathi dressed the wound and Kalyani was fine. By that time, the newspaper boy, the milkman, the hawker and bus driver arrived at the place on their foot as there was a lot of garbage on the road. They thought that it was not safe for them. They informed the mayor of the town.
The mayor came and was shocked to see the litter on the road. Suddenly the animals entered the scene and told them that they were responsible for spreading the garbage all over the town. The animals said that human beings spoiled the forests which were their dwelling places. So they decided to give all the rubbish back to human beings.

The Little Boy and The Old Man Poem Summary

One can sympathise with the little boy and the old man as they are neglected by others in life. The fact that both of them dropped their spoons, shows that they are clumsy, wet their pants and cry show that they cannot control their body and emotions. They thus have the same bad habits and find themselves quite similar with only a difference which is age.

Once the boy said that the grown-ups don’t pay attention to him, the old man held his hand tightly as he had also gone through the exact same thing as the boy, being neglected. The old man understands how the little boy feels and used actions to convey the message that he is also in the same boat as the boy. The old man can be seen to be the future when he is of no use and others, for example, his children, leave him alone as they are busy contributing to the society that they forgot about him.

The little boy could be seen as the past when he has not learnt many things in life yet and others, for example, his parents, also neglect him as he too, is of no contribution to the society and the parents have to work. In this poem, you can see the similarities in their habits but also the fact that they are left alone, neglected by the adult population because of work. The old man represents what the future would be like and the little boy, the past. That is what makes them different.

B. Read the following sentences.
Ramu found a purse.
A purse was found by Ramu.

Both the sentences mean the same. The first one says that Ramu did something. The second sentence says that something is done. The first sentence is said to be in the Active Voice because its subject (Ramu) is active and does something. The second sentence is said to be in the Passive Voice because its subject does nothing, but passively allows something to be done to the object (purse).

Read the following pairs of sentences.

the verb in the Active Voice is changed into the Passive form. For example, the V., form in the active voice is changed into be + V3′ e.g. ‘wrote’ became was written’.
V, means the root form of the verb. V, is the Past Tense form of the Verb. V (is the past participle form of the Verb. e.g. V,-walk, V2-walked, V3-walked

Answer:
The mother says that the surgery was a real miracle because their family was very poor. They couldn’t afford to $pend money for the operation.

The little girl understood that ‘miracle’ was a kind of medicine.

Talking Time

I. Debate : You have read in the story about the family’s struggle to save the life of their son. Dr.Carlton Armstrong operated on Andrew without any charges. Andrew recovered completely.

Now read the following statement.
‘All persons in the society should be given free medical and health care.’

Debate the above issue.
[Two or three students who support the idea that free medical and health care should be provided to everybody’ should sit on one side. Two or three students who oppose the idea should sit on the other side. Each group should give their opinion on the topic. All the remaining students in the class ask questions, challenge them on their views and present alternative viewpoints to them. The teacher or a student from the class can play the role of a moderator/anchor.]

You may use the following expressions:
• I agree with you, but ……………..
• I disagree with you ……………..
• I strongly feel that ……………..
• I oppose what you say ……………..
Answer:
Moderator : You all know the topic of today. Let’s start with the Supporting Group.

Supporting Group : I think healthcare should be free because humans shouldn’t have to worry about if they can pay to stay healthy.

Moderator : Now it is the turn of Opposing Group. Let’s listen what they will say.

Opposing Group : Health care could not be free because it will never be free. Even if we make it affordable to everyone in our country it will never be “free” because we will have to find a way to cover the cost… And every indication points to this being covered by taxes being raised.

Moderator : Here is a question from audience to Opposing Group.

Question from audience (To Opposing Group) : What about the poor people who cannot afford medical expenditure?

Opposing Group : Nothing in life is “free.” Health care services that a person doesn’t pay for might seem “free” to that person, but it is being paid for by someone else. Any good or service that a person receives should be paid for, and the person should now how much it costs. A problem in the American healthcare system is that because of government healthcare (Medicaid and Medicare) and low insurance co-pays, people are completely out of touch with the true and exorbitant cost of healthcare.

Moderator : Here is a question from audience to Supporting Group.

Question from audience (To Supporting Group): Government should not be obligated to take care of people’s health simply because they pay taxes.

Supporting Group : Government run universal health care is the best way to bring down the costs of health care. On top of that, it frees up businesses from having to find insurance for their employees. It also brings down stress levels in individuals since they don’t have to worry about a major illness bankrupting them.

Moderator: It’s ok. Let’s stop the debate here. Both the groups expressed their opinion very well. They expressed some valid points.

I appreciate their efforts to make the debate successful. Thank you one and all.

Project Work

Though Tess was a young girl and had a little money, she was able to save her brother. Collect a few success stories like that of Tess from magazines and newspapers. Talk about one of them in the class.

1. Kentucky Fried Chicken
The real-life story of Colonel Harland Sanders who was disappointed umpteen times in his life and still made his dream come true late in his life is really inspiring.

He is a seventh grade dropped out who tried many ventures in life but tasted bitter every time. He started selling chicken at his age of 40 but his dream of a restaurant was turned down many times due to conflicts and wars.

Later he attempted to franchise his restaurant. His recipe got rejected 1,009 times before the final approval. And soon the secret recipe, “Kentucky Fried Chicken” became a huge hit worldwide. KFC was expanded globally and the company was sold for 2 million dollars and his face is still celebrated in the logos.

Moral: Have you stopped your attempts to a venture just because you were rejected or failed a few times? Can you even accept a failure of 1009 times? This story inspires everyone to try hard and believe in yourself until you see success despite how many times you have failed.

2. Secret to Success
Once a young man asked the wise man, Socrates, the secret to success. Socrates patiently listened to the man’s question and told him to meet him near the river the next morning for the answer. The next morning Socrates asked the young man to walk with him towards the river. As they went in the river the water got up to their neck. But to the young man’s surprise Socrates ducked him into the water.

The young man struggled to get out of the water, but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy started turning blue. Socrates pulled the man’s head out of the water. The young man gasped and took a deep breath of air. Socrates asked, “What did you want the most when your head was in the water?” The young man replied, “Air.” Socrates said, “That is the secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted the air while you were in the water, then you will get it. There is no other secret.”

Moral: A burning desire is the starting point of all accomplishment. Just like a small fire cannot give much heat, a weak desire cannot produce great results.

Grammar

I. In the previous lesson you have learnt writing sentences describing ‘ongoing’ actions using Present Continuous Tense. We can change them into questions to confirm the information.
Examples:
It is raining. – Is it raining?
The girls are playing. – Are the girls playing?
Men are still fighting. – Are men still fighting?

Such sentences are called ‘Interrogative sentences’. Here they are in Present Continuous Tense. A sentence that asks a question is called an Interrogaltive sentence. It ends with a question mark.
Do you know how to write them as interrogatives?

If the subjects are ‘he, she, it and any singular noun’, use ‘is’ before them. And for the subjects ‘we, you, they and any plural noun’, use ‘are’ before them. If the subject is ‘I’, use ‘am’ before it.

Observe the following examples.
She is singing. – Is she singing?
They are coming. – Are they coming?

Change the following statements into questions.
1. The children are playing.
2. Students are waiting for their bus.
3. The teacher is walking slowly.
4. They are drinking water.
5. Usha is cleaning her room.
6. The girl is preparing tea.
Answer:
1. Are the children playing?
2. Are students waiting for their bus?
3. Is the techer walking slowly?
4. Are they drinking water?
5. Is Usha cleaning her room?
6. Is the girl preparing tea?

Read the following sentences.
1. Gopal is the tallest of all in the class.
2. Rani is cleverer than Ramya.
3. My house is as big as yours.

In sentence 1„ the adjective ‘tallest’ denotes the superlative degree. In sentence 2, the adjective ‘cleverer’ denotes the comparative degree. In sentence 3, the adjective ‘big’ denotes positive degree.

Read the following sentences and point out the adjectives and name the Degree of Comparison of each.
1. The train runs faster than the bus.
2. Lead is the heaviest metal.
3. Hari is the laziest boy in the class.
