Q3. What type of change is crystallisation?
Ans. It is a physical change.

Q4. What type of change is involved in rusting of iron?
Ans.  Rusting of iron is a chemical change.

Q5. Write one property of stainless steel.
Ans. It does not rust.

Q6. What type of change is formation of manure?
Ans. Formation of manure is a chemical change.

Q7. Which of the two is permanent change chemical change or physical change?
Ans. Chemical change is a permanent change.

Q8. What do you understand by chemical change?
Ans. A change in which one or more new substances are formed is called a chemical change.


Q9. State the conditions necessary for rusting of iron?
Ans. For rusting, the presence of both oxygen and water (or water vapour) is essential.

Q10. What is galvanisation?
Ans. The process of depositing a layer of metal like zinc or chromium on iron is called galvanisation.

Q11. What is added to steel to make it stainless?
Ans. Stainless steel is made by mixing iron with carbon and metals like chromium, nickel and manganese.

Q12. Why formation of manure from leaves is a chemical change?
Ans. Formation of manure from leaves is a chemical change because manure formed has a different composition from leaves.

Q13. Why souring of milk is a chemical change?
Ans. Souring of milk is a chemical change because it results in formation of new substance.

Long Answer Questions for class 8
Question 1.
Differentiate between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Answer
S.No.
Prokaryotic cell
Eukaryotic cell
1
They are primitive and incomplete cells
They are advance and complete cells.
2
Do not have well defined nucleus (nucleiod)
Have well defined nucleus (true nucleus)
3
Membrane bound cell organelles are absent.
Membrane bound cell organelles are present.
4
Bacteria and Mycoplasma are prokaryotic cells.
Animal cells and Plant cells are eukaryotic cells.

Question 2.
Write the functions of different types of plastids?
Answer
Plastids with green
coloured photosynthetic pigment (chlorophyll) are called chloroplasts. They are also called kitchen of a plant cell.
Leucoplasts are colourless plastids and store food in the form of starch and fat.
Plastids with pigments other than green are called chromoplasts. These plastids give the flowers and fruits their bright colours, which attracts insects and animals for pollination.

Question 3.
Name any two types of cells that are capable of changing their shape. How does this feature help them in their functions?
Answer
The two types of cells that are capable of changing their shape are:
(i) White blood cells (WBCs): The white blood cells present in our blood can change their shape. This helps them to kill germs by engulfing them.
(ii) Amoeba: Amoeba can change its shape with the help of pseudopodia that are projections of its body. The pseudopodia help the Amoeba to capture its food and move from one place to another.


Question 5.
What are the lower levels of organization in multicellular organisms? Are these levels present in unicellular organisms? Answer
In a multicellular organism, the lower levels of organization are as follows: Cells → Tissues → Organs → Organ systems → Organism
No, these levels are not present in unicellular organisms because unicellular organism consists of single cell.

Practice questions:
1. What is cell?
2. State the key features of cell theory?
