Excretion All living things excrete. As a result of the many chemical reactions occurring in cells, they have to get rid of waste products which might poison the cells. Excretion is defined as the removal of toxic materials, the waste products of metabolism and substances in excess from the body of an organism. 5. Growth Growth is seen in all living things. It involves using food to produce new cells. The permanent increase in cell number and size is called growth. 6. Reproduction All living organisms have the ability to produce offspring. 7. Sensitivity All living things are able to sense and respond to stimuli around them such as light, temperature, water, gravity and chemical substances. |

A right circular cylinder just encloses a sphere of radius r. Find i) surface area of the sphere ii) curved surface area of the cylinder iii) ratio of the areas obtained in (i) and (ii) |
|
Answer» i) Radius of the sphere = radius of the cylinder = r ∴Surface area of the sphere = 4πr2 ii) C.S.A. of cylinder = 2πr (2r) [∵ h = 2r] = 4πr2 iii) Ratio of (i) and (ii) = 4πr2 : 4πr2 = 1:1 |

The surface area of a sphere of radius 5 cm is five times the area of CSA of a cone of radius 5 cm. Then find the volume of the cone. |
|
Answer» Radius of sphere = r = 5 cm Surface area of sphere = 4πr = 4π(5) = 100π Radius of cone = 5 cm Surface area of cone = πr(r + 1) = π5(5 + l) = 5π(5 + l) Surface area of sphere = 5 x Surface area of cone 100π = 5 x 5π(5 + l) 100π = 25π(5 + l) 5 + l = 100π/25π = 4 l = 4 – 5 = -1 cm ∴ Slant height of a cone is ’-1, so problem solving is not possible. |
