Marking Scheme 
SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT – I (2014-15) 
Science (Class–X) 
  
General
  Instructions:  
1.         The Marking Scheme provides general guidelines to
  reduce subjectivity and maintain uniformity. The answers given in the marking
  scheme are the best suggested answers.  
2.         Marking be done as per the instructions provided
  in the marking scheme. (It should not be done according to one’s own
  interpretation or any other consideration).  
3.         Alternative methods be accepted. Proportional
  marks be awarded. 
4.         If a question is attempted twice and the candidate
  has not crossed any answer, only first attempt be evaluated and ‘EXTRA’ be
  written with the second attempt.  
5.         In case where no answers are given or answers
  are found wrong in this Marking Scheme, correct answers may be found and used
  for valuation purpose.

This
  is because of corrosion.  Iron acquires
  a dull brown colour due to formation of iron oxide.  Copper acquires a green colour due to the
  formation of basic copper carbonate. 
  Silver acquires a black colour due to the formation of silver
  sulphide.

In
  the case of single celled organism, no specific organs for taking in food,
  exchange of gases or removal of wastes be needed because the entire surface
  of the organism is in contact with the environment.  But in multicellular organisms all the
  cells may not be in direct contact with the surrounding environment.

If
  on bringing one end of the bars close to each other and no attraction /
  repulsion, none of them is a magnet. 
If
  the two bars attract Þ  at least one of them is a magnet.   
If
  the two bars repel Þ  both the bars are magnet.

It
  is the phenomenon of inducing an electric current in a coil or circuit by
  changing the magnetic field  associated
  with it.  
Electric
  generator and transformer.  
Brief
  description of inducing current by - 
(i)         bringing a bar magnet towards the
  coil.  
(ii)        rotating a coil in a magnetic field.  
(iii)       varying electric current in a
  neighbouring coil.
