26. Earthworms breathe through their______ .

(1) Lungs
(2) Tracheae
(3) Gills
(4) Skin
(5) Not Attempted

Correct Answer: (4) Skin

Solution:Earthworms do not have lungs or gills.

Instead, they absorb oxygen from the air through their skin.
Their skin is covered in a moist mucus layer that helps to facilitate oxygen diffusion.
To breathe, earthworms need to stay moist.
If their skin dries out, they will not be able to absorb oxygen and will suffocate.
This is why earthworms are often seen on the surface of the ground after a rain shower.
The rain helps to keep their skin moist and allows them to breathe.

27. Yeast is used in the production of:

(1) Sugar
(2) Oxygen
(3) Alcohol
(4) Hydrochloric Acid
(5) Not Attempted

Correct Answer: (3) Alcohol

Solution:Yeast is a fungus that can convert sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide.

This process is called fermen tation.
Fermentation is used to pro duce a variety of alcoholte bev erages, including beer, wine. and sake. It is also used to pro duce biofuels, such as etha-nol.
The Fermentation process dis-covered by french chemist Louis pasteur in 1857.
Yeast is also used in baking
When yeast is added to dough. It ferments the sugar in the dough and produces carbon dioxide gas.
This gas causes the dough to rise.

30. The property of metals by which they can be beaten Into thin sheets is called:

(1) Conductivity
(2) Reactivity
(3) Ductility
(4) Malleability

Correct Answer: (4) Malleability

Solution:The property of metals by which they can be beaten into thin sheets is called malleability.

Malleability is the ability of a material to be deformed under compressive stress without breaking.
Metals are generally very malleable, which is why they can be used to make a variety of products, such as foil, sheet metal, and wire.
