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).

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.
