Case Based Questions: 

Metals are elements that exhibit a variety of physical properties such as those of malleability, ductility, conductivity of heat and electricity, lustre, etc. Due to such properties, metals find usage in purpose such as cooking utensils, machinery, modes of transportation, construction, etc., in our daily life. Metals such as gold and silver have been used in making jewellery since ancient times. Non-metals have been found to exist in all the three states– solid, liquid and gaseous. They are non-malleable, non-ductile and brittle in nature. Non-metals have very low tensile strength and are easily broken up.

Question. Metals can be given different shapes according to our needs because
(a) they are malleable and ductile
(b) they are sonorous
(c) they are generally hard
(d) they have a shining surface

Case Based Questions: 

They create by-products that art not only useless for the cells of the body, but could even be harmful. These waste by-products are therefore needed to be removed from the body and discarded outside by a process called excretion. Again, if the basic rules for body design in multi-cellular organisms are followed, a specialised tissue for excretion will be developed, which means that the transportation system will need to transport waste away from cells to this excretory tissue.

Question. The main excretory by-product in human beings is
(a) Creatine
(b) Urea
(c) Uric acid
(d) None of the above

Answer

B
