21.	In the Modern Periodic Table, a zig-zag line separates metals from non-metals. Metals tend to lose electrons while forming bonds, that is, they are electropositive in nature. Down the group, the effective nuclear charge experienced by valence electrons is decreasing because the outermost electrons are farther away from the nucleus. Therefore, these can be lost easily. Non-metals, on the other hand, are electronegative. They tend to form bonds by gaining electrons.1.

26.	How many kinds of tissues are there in the human body? What is the effect of exercises on it?
Answer» Tissues: A tissue is a group of cells that have a similar shape and function. Different types of tissues can be found in different organs. In humans, there are four basic types of tissue : 1. Epithelial 2. Connective 3. Muscular and 4. Nervous tissue Epithelial tissue: Epithelial tissue covers the surface of the body. It forms the lining for most internal cavities. Its main function is to provide protection to inner lining of organs such as-face, skin, intestine, lungs, blood veins. The skin is an organ made of epithelial tissue, which protect the body from dirt, dust, bacteria etc. Connective tissue : It is most widely distributed tissue in the human body. Its main example is bones. Muscular tissue : Muscular tissue varies with function and location in the body. Nervous tissue : It is the main tissue composing of two parts of the nervous system: Spinal cord and brain. Exercises and games affect both the physical and mental components of the body. It helps in the better growth of bones and muscles. It helps in the better functioning of the body. During exercise the flow of blood to the various organs and regions of the body is increased. The strength of the body is also increased. Further it increases the immunity of the body to diseases. But of course, good exercise should also be backed by a healthy diet.

Answer» (a) Lithium, Beryllium are metals. (b) The real significance of atomic number in the modern periodic classification is that it relates the periodicity in the properties of elements to the periodicity in their electronic configurations. Example: The atomic number increases from 3 in lithium to 11 in sodium, there is a repetition of electronic configuration from 2,1 to 2,8,1 (both having 1 valence electron).

28.	Explain innate immunity.
Answer» This type of immunity is inborn. This is also called general or natural immunity. This type of immunity does not give any special protection against any specific germ rather works against all the antigens in the same way. Hence, it is called general immunity. Following factors facilitate working of innate immunity: 1. Physical Barriers: Physical barriers prevent the entry of germs physically. For example, skin prevents the entry of many germs and thus works as the first line of defence. Cilia, in many organs, help in keeping off the germs or other harmful materials. 2. Chemical Barriers: Some germs are warded off by means of chemical barriers. For example, hydrochloric acid in stomach kills any germ in food. 3. Cellular Barriers: Many special cells eat away germs, e.g. macrophages, neutrophils, etc. 4. Inflammation: Inflammation and fever also work against germ. The high temperature during fever and inflammation kill the germs.
