MESSAGE FROM DUPUTY COMMISSIONER

It is a matter of great pleasure for me to publish study material for

different subjects of classes X and XII for Raipur Region. Getting acquainted and
familiarized with the recent changes in curriculum and assessment process
made by CBSE vide Circular No. 51 and 53 issued in the month of July 2021 will
help students to prepare themselves better for the examination. Sound and
deeper knowledge of the Units and Chapters is must for grasping the concepts,
understanding the questions. Study materials help in making suitable and
effective notes for quick revision just before the examination.

Due to the unprecedented circumstances of COVID-19 pandemic the

students and the teachers are getting very limited opportunity to interact face
to face in the classes. In such a situation the supervised and especially prepared
value points will help the students to develop their understanding and
analytical skills together. The students will be benefitted immensely after going
through the question bank and practice papers. The study materials will build a
special bond and act as connecting link between the teachers and the students
as both can undertake a guided and experiential learning simultaneously. It will
help the students develop the habit of exploring and analyzing the Creative &
Critical Thinking Skills. The new concepts introduced in the question pattern
related to case study, reasoning and ascertain will empower the students to
take independent decision on different situational problems. The different
study materials are designed in such a manner to help the students in their self-
learning pace. It emphasizes the great pedagogical dictum that ‘everything can
be learnt but nothing can be taught’. The self-motivated learning as well as
supervised classes will together help them achieve the new academic heights.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all the principals and the
teachers who have relentlessly striven for completion of the project of preparing
study materials for all the subjects. Their enormous contribution in making this
project successful is praiseworthy.
Happy learning and best of luck!

CCT‐2 ITEM
RESPIRATION

Most living things need oxygen to obtain energy from food. The oxygen reacts with food molecules and
that is how energy is obtained which is stored in the form of ATP molecules in the cells. This energy can
be used anywhere the bodywants to doso. The process of releasingenergy from food is called
respiration.

Q1. What is the full form of ATP?

(1)Adenisyne tri‐phosphate
(2)Adenosine tri‐phosphate
(3)Adenosine tetraphosphate
(4)Adenosine monophosphate
Q2. Respiration is
(1)Catabolic process
(2)Anabolic process
(3)Physical process
(4)Biophysical process
Q3. Respiration is the process in which‐
(1)Energy is released and stored in the form of ATP
(2)Energy is stored in the form of ADP
(3)Energy is not released at all
(4)Energy is used up
Q4. The form of energy used in respiration is ‐
(1)Electrical energy
(2)Chemical energy
(3)Mechanical energy
(4)Radiant energy

Answer
1. The answer is (b) Yeast, mushroom, bread

mould Explanation:
Yeast, mushroom and bread mould are saprophytes and Saprophytes break the food material outside
their body and absorbed.
2. The answer is (b) Starch breaking down into sugars

Explanation:Salivary Amylase enzyme present in the saliva breaks down Starchinto simpler sugar and
helpsin digesting them. Hence the breakdown of starch will be affected if salivary amylase is lacking in
the saliva.
3. The answer is (d) starch

Explanation: Starch is made up of two components Amylose and Amylopectin. When we add iodine to
starch‐containing water Amylose reacts with iodine to form a blue colour complex. Here solution gives
blue‐black colour onadding Iodine which confirms the presence ofstarch in the rice water.

Assersion and Reasoning Type Question

Instructions:
Two statements are given‐one labeled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select
the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below.
a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
b) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
c) A is true but R is false
d) A is false and R is also false

1. Assertion : The cloudinskygenerally appearto be whitish.

Reason : Diffraction due to cloud is efficient in equal measure at all wavelengths
2. Assertion :Abeamofwhitelightgivesaspectrumonpassingthroughahollowprism.
Reason :Speedoflightoutsidetheprismisdifferentfromthespeedoflightinsidetheprism.

3. Assertion : Theskyappearreddishduringsunriseandsunset.

I- SCATTERING OF LIGHT

AnkithaandNikithaaresisters.Botharestudents.Oneevening,whilewalkinginabeach Nikitha, the younger sister

noticed the red colour of the sky during the Sun set. She asked her sisterwhytheskyseesreadincolour. Ankitha,
whorecentlystudiedaboutlighttoldthatit happens because of scattering. Scattering is nothing but irregular
reflection. Scattering of lightdependsonitswavelength.Redcolourhaslongwavelength,becauseofwhichless
