Question 1.
\nHow do vaccines works in our body?
\nAnswer:
\nWhen a vaccine is given which contains weak microorganisms our body learn to fight them by producing antibodies whenever danger comes. When the disease causing microorganisms enter in our body, the already present antibodies fight and eliminate them. And the disease is controlled. The weakened disease causing microorganisms which are injected into our bodies are called as vaccine.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nWhat are the differences between Antibiotic and Vaccine?
\nAnswer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Antibiotic<\/td>\nVaccine<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
An antibiotic is a compound or a substance that inhibits or kills the growth of bacteria.<\/td>\nVaccine is a preparation that improves the immunity to a particular disease.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
An antibiotic heals infection caused by small pox.<\/td>\nA vaccine prevents diseases like polio, bacteria.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Antibiotics are available in different forms like tablets, capsules, drops or ointments.<\/td>\nVaccines can be given orally or through injection.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Antibiotics are taken after getting infected.<\/td>\nVaccines are preventive method that is taken before getting infected.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Question 3.
\nInvention of pencillin protected the world from deaths during first world war, Explain.
\nAnswer:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pencillin was invented by Dr. Alexander Flemming.<\/li>\n
  2. He was an army doctor in First World War.<\/li>\n
  3. In the First World War many injured soliders died because of bacterial infection of wounds.<\/li>\n
  4. Pencillin killed many disease causing bacteria.<\/li>\n
  5. So the invention of pencillin protect the world from deaths during the first World War.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Question 4.
    \nTake three bowls and mark as A,B,C. Pour lukewarm milk in bowl A, hot milk in bowl B, cold milk in bowl C. Add one tea spoon of curd or butter milk in three bowls and stir them slightly. Cover the bowls with lids. Keep the bowls undisturbed for five to six hours. In which bowl milk turned into curd ? Give your reasons.
    \nAnswer:
    \nAfter six hours the milk in the bowl A converted into curd.
    \nThis conversion is happened by fermentation. Fermentaion is one kind of enzy-matic action in anaerobic respiration. Fermentation needs the help of microbes like yeast or some other bacteria. This process occurs at a particular temperature. Be-cause of enzymes are inactive at low and high temperatures. Hence the milk in bowl A converted into curd by the bacterium Lactobacillus.<\/p>\n

    Question 8.
    \nWhat is pasteurisation? What is the use of it?
    \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Pasteurisation is a process which helps in the preservation of the milk.<\/li>\n
    2. It is discovered by \u201cLouis Pasteur.\u201d Hence it is called as pasteurisation.<\/li>\n
    3. In this process milk is heated up to 70\u00b0 for 15 to 30 seconds and suddenly chilled and stored.<\/li>\n
    4. This prevents the growth of the microorganisms.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Question 9.
      \nHow do you appreciate Edward Jenner’s experiment?
      \nAnswer:
      \n\"AP
      \nEdward Jenner was a man of the Enlightenment and believed in the intellectual and moral improvement of mankind.
      \nPossessing that spirit, he predicted in 1801 that \u201cthe annihilation of small pox-the most dreadful scourge of the human race-will be the final result of this practice\u201d of vaccination. And he was right. Since the Enlightenment, the core branches of science and medicine have generally developed rationally. As a result, the World Health Organization was able to declare in 1980 that smallpox had been eradicated worldwide. Only two laboratory samples emained, one in Russia and one in the United States.<\/p>\n

      Question 10.
      \nVisit a nearby milk chilling centre. Observe the process and make a report on it.
      \nAnswer:
      \nThe Milk Collection Station is a specially designed, integrated unit, which combines the several functions of a milk collection centre. It measures the weight, fat content and gives the price of the milk brought in by the each producer. The equipment is particularly useful for the milk cooperatives \/ milk collection centres as it can also maintain a summary of milk supplied. This state of the art equipment operates both on battery and mains and is able to process and record 120-150 milk collection per hour. An Electronic Milk Weighing Unit, the Electronic Milk Tester and Data Processor Unit are main components of the system. The membership code of individual mem\u00acbers is entered automatically by member identity card \/ manually by an electronic key-board.

      Question 11.
      \n\u201cPrevention is better than cure\u201d comment.
      \nAnswer:
      \nWe heard about \u201cprevention is better than cure\u201d since our childhood – brushing of teeth twice to prevent tooth decay, washing of hands before eating to prevent stomach upset, do not eat uncovered road side food items, get vaccine against polio to free from disability, get rid of stagnate water to prevent malaria like that follow the life skills to avoid dangerous AIDS. It\u2019s better to take care that a problem does not happen than to have to solve the problem afterwards. It\u2019s easier to stop something bad from happening in the first place than to fix the damage after it has happened.<\/p>\n

      Question 12.
      \nRaheem tells to his neighbours, \u201cstagnation of’ sewage in our surroundings is harmful to our health. \u201d Do you support this? Why?
      \nAnswer:
      \nStagnation of sewage in our surroundings is harmful to our health in different ways. Sewage consist different wastes of organic matters. Microbes decompose all organic wastes. Disease transmitting carriers prefer to grow on decomposing organic matters. Hence sewage provides good shelter to mosquitoes, houseflies and other insects which transmit life threatening diseases like encephalitis, malaria, cholera, typhoid and other epidemics. Therefore sewage stagnation is more harmful to our health.
      \n\"AP<\/p>\n

      Question 13.
      \nJeevan said that \u201cIf there are no microorganisms earth will remain with wastes. \u201d Will you agree this statement? Why?
      \nAnswer:
      \nYes, I will agree this statement. Because of:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Microorganisms present in the soil, air and water act upon wastes around us.<\/li>\n
      2. They decomposes them.<\/li>\n
      3. They are converted into simple substances.<\/li>\n
      4. Thus microorganisms help us in cleaning the environment.<\/li>\n
      5. So if there are no microorganisms earth will remain with wastes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Question 14.
        \nPranavi is suffering from serious illness. Doctor prescribed antibiotics for five days. After three days of usage she stopped taking antibiotics. Is it right or not, discuss.
        \nAnswer:
        \nNo, it is not right. Doctor prescribed anitbiotics for five days. Because the doctor knows that the correct days of the recovering of her illness. After three days of usage she stopped taking antibiotics. But her illness is not completely recovered. It is breaking out after some time. So it is not right.<\/p>\n

        Question 15.
        \nWhat are the precautions taken to eradicate malaria?
        \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Malaria is caused by the pathogen piasmodium, is transmitted by female Anopheles mosquito.
          \n\"AP<\/li>\n
        2. Methods used to prevent malaria include medications, mosquito elimination and the prevention of bites.<\/li>\n
        3. Using of indoor mosquito repellents, residual sprays, taking care not to store water.<\/li>\n
        4. Providing awareness how to control mosquito population.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Question 16.
          \nOne medical store owner is giving antibiotics to his customer who is suffering from fever without doctor\u2019s prescription? But the customer\u2019s daughter Malathi is telling her father not to take antibiotics without doctor\u2019s prescription. Whom do you support and why?
          \nAnswer:
          \nWe must use antibiotics prescribed by qualified doctor only. If you use antibiotics without consulting a qualified doctor it may harm us. Unnecessary use of antibiotics affects blood cells which fight infections. Sometimes they may kill useful bacteria too in our intestine and this increases the resistance towards antibiotics.<\/p>\n

          Question 1.
          \nTake some lukewarm milk in two small bowls. Add a few drops of butter milk or little curd in one of the bowls. In the second bowl do not add anything. Keep the two bowls in a warm place and observe the milk in the bowls after 5 to 6 hours.
          \na) What changes did you observe?
          \nAnswer:
          \nIn the first bowl milk changed into curd. There is no change in the second bowl.
          \nb) What is the reason for this?
          \nAnswer:
          \nWe add curd or butter milk in the first bowl. Curd or buttermilk contain bacterium named lactobacillus. Lactobacillus converts the milk into curd.<\/p>\n
