अहमपि विद्यालयं गमिष्यामि Summary

प्रस्तुत नाटक के माध्यम से बालशोषण का विरोध दर्शाकर उनके शिक्षा के मौलिक अधिकार का ज्ञान कराया गया है। एक अल्पवयस्का बालिका से गृहकार्य करवाना अनुचित है। अतः मालिनी दर्शना को कहती है कि यह समय तो उसकी अल्पवयस्का पुत्री के पढ़ने और खेलने का है तो दर्शना कहती है कि उसकी पुत्री एक परिवार का समस्त गृहकार्य करती थी। धनाभाव के कारण उन्हें यह सब करना पड़ता हैं क्योंकि उसका बीमार पति कुछ भी काम नहीं करता।

Important Terms:

Stereotype: When we believe that people. belonging to particular groups based on religion, wealth, language are bound to have certain fixed characteristics or can only do a certain type of work, we create a stereotype. For example, in this chapter, we can see how boys and girls are made to take certain subjects not because he or she has an aptitude for it, but because they are either boys or girls. Stereotypes prevent us from looking at people as unique individuals.

Discrimination: When we do not treat people equally or with respect, we are indulging in discrimination. It happens when people or organisations act on their prejudices. Discrimination usually takes place when we treat someone differently or make a distinction.

Violation: When someone forcefully breaks the law or a rule or openly shows disrespect, we can say that he or she has committed a violation.

Sexual harassment: This refers to physical or verbal behaviour that is of a sexual nature and against the wishes of a woman.

Soil Class 7 Questions And Answers Question 17.
Write about soil erosion.
Answer:
The removal of fertile topsoil by water, wind or ice is known as erosion. Plant roots firmly bind the soil. In the absence of plants, soil becomes loose. So it can be moved by wind and flowing water. So, cutting of trees and deforestation should be prevented and efforts should be made to increase the green areas.

Chapter 9 Science Class 7 Extra Questions Question 18.
Discuss the dependence of crop on soil type.
Answer:
The climatic factors, as well as the components of soil, determine the various types of vegetation and crops that might grow in any region. Clayey and loamy soils are both suitable for growing cereals like wheat and gram. Such soils are good at retaining water. For paddy, soils rich in clay and organic matter and having a good capacity to retain water, are ideal.

For lentils (masoor) and other pulses, loamy soils, which drain water easily, are required. For cotton, sandy-loam or loam, which drain water easily and can hold plenty of air, are more suitable. Crops such as wheat are grown in the fine clayey soils because they are rich in humus and are very fertile.

Earthworms breathe through their skins. The skin of an earthworm feels moist and slimy on touching. Gases can easily pass through them.

Question 16.
Give a brief description of our respiratory system with diagram.
Answer:
Normally we take in air through our nostrils. When we inhale air, it passes through our nostrils into the nasal cavity. From the nasal cavity, the air reaches our lungs through the windpipe. Lungs are present in the chest cavity.

Answer:
Class 7 Science Chapter 10 Extra Questions

Question 18.
Describe respiration in cockroach.
Answer:
A cockroach has small openings on the sides of its body. These openings are called spiracles. Internally, they have a network of air tubes called tracheae for gas exchange. Oxygen-rich air rushes through spiracles into the tracheal tubes, diffuses into the body tissue, and reaches every cell of the body. Similarly, carbon dioxide from the cells goes into the tracheal tubes and moves out through spiracles.

Question 19.
How does breathing take place?
Answer:
Breathing involves the movement of the diaphragm and the rib cage. During inhalation, ribs move up and outwards and diaphragm moves down. This movement increases space in our chest cavity and air rushes into the lungs. The lungs get filled with air. During exhalation, ribs move down and inwards, while diaphragm moves up to its former position. This reduces the size of the chest cavity and air is pushed out of the lungs.

Question 20.
List the similarities and differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Answer:
Similarities :

  • Energy is released.
  • Carbon dioxide is produced.

Differences :

  • Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen while aerobic respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen.
  • Glucose is completely broken down into CO2 and water in aerobic respiration but not in anaerobic respiration.

Question 21.
Why do we often sneeze when we inhale a lot of dust-laden air?
Answer:
When we inhale a lot of dust-laden air often these particles get trapped, in the hair present in the nasal cavity. Then they irritate the lining of the cavity, as a result of which we sneeze. Sneezing expels these foreign particles from the inhaled air and a dust-free, clean air enters our body.

Question 22.
Boojho has seen in television programmes that whales and dolphins often come up to the water surface. They even release a fountain of water sometimes while moving upwards. Why do they do so?
Answer:
Whales and dolphins are mammals and they have lungs to breathe. For breathing, they have to come on the surface. During moving upward, they abruptly exhale air, which results into a fountain of water.

Experiment:

Aim: To show that exhaled air is rich in carbon dioxide.
Requirements: Freshly prepared lime water, bent glass pipe and test tube.
Procedure: 2 ml of freshly prepared lime water (clear solution) is taken in a test tube. Lime water is the common name for calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2]. Now, with the help of a bent pipe the exhaled air from mouth is blown.

Observation: Lime water turns milky.

Conclusion: The above observation confirms that exhaled air is rich in carbon dioxide.

Water: A Precious Resource Class 7 Extra Questions and Answers Science Chapter 16

Water: A Precious Resource Class 7 Questions And Answers Question 14.
How is increasing population responsible for depletion of groundwater?
Answer:

  • Increasing population creates demand for construction of houses, shops, offices, roads and pavements. This decreases the open areas like parks and playgrounds. This, in turn, decreases the seepage of rainwater into the ground.
  • Moreover, a huge amount of water is required for construction work. Often groundwater is used for this purpose.
  • So, we are not only consuming more groundwater, but we also are allowing lesser water to seep into the ground. This results in depletion of water table.

Extra Questions On Water Class 7 Question 15.
Explain the factors responsible for the depletion of water table.
Answer:
There are three main causes of depletion of water table:

  • Increasing population: Increasing population creates demand for construction of houses, shops, offices, roads and pavements. This decreases the open areas like parks and playgrounds. This, in turn, decreases the seepage of rainwater into the ground. Along with consumption of water increases.
  • Increasing industries: Water is used by all the industries. The number of industries is increasing continuously. Water used by most of the industries is drawn from the ground.
  • Agricultural activities: These irrigational systems may suffer from lack of water due to erratic rainfall. Therefore, farmers have to use groundwater for irrigation. Population pressure on agriculture forces increasing use of groundwater day by day. This results in depletion of water table.

Class 7 Chapter 16 Science Extra Questions Question 16.
Explain how groundwater is recharged?
Answer:
The rainwater and water from other sources such as rivers and ponds seeps through the soil and fills the empty spaces and cracks deep below the ground. The process of seeping of water into the ground is called infiltration. The groundwater thus gets recharged by this process.
