2.	Read the passage given below.(1) Millions of people in the United States are affected by eating disorders. More than 90% of those afflicted are adolescents or young adult women. Although all eating disorders share some common manifestations, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating each has distinctive symptoms and risks. People who intentionally starve themselves (even while experiencing severe hunger pangs) suffer from anorexia nervosa.(2) The disorder, which usually begins around the time of puberty, involves extreme weight loss to at least 15% below the individual’s normal body weight. Many people with the disorder look emaciated but are convinced they are overweight. In patients with anorexia nervosa, starvation can damage vital organs such as the heart and brain. To protect itself, the body shifts into slow gear: Menstrual periods stop, blood pressure rates drop, and thyroid function slows. Excessive thirst and frequent urination may occur. Dehydration contributes to constipation, and reduced body fat leads to lowered body temperature and the inability to withstand cold. Mild anemia, swollen joints, reduced muscle mass, and light-headedness also commonly occur in anorexia nervosa. (3) Anorexia nervosa sufferers can exhibit sudden angry outbursts or become socially withdrawn. One in ten cases of anorexia nervosa leads to death from starvation, cardiac arrest, other medical complications, or suicide. Clinical depression and anxiety place many individuals with eating disorders at risk for suicidal behavior.(4) People with bulimia nervosa consume large amounts of food and then rid their bodies of the excess calories by vomiting, abusing laxatives or diuretics, taking enemas, or exercising obsessively. Some use a combination of all these forms of purging. Individuals with bulimia who use drugs to stimulate vomiting, bowel movements, or urination may be in considerable danger, as this practice increases the risk of heart failure. Dieting heavily between episodes of binging and purging is common.(5) Because many individuals with bulimia binge and purge in secret maintain normal or above normal body weight, they can often successfully hide their problem for years. But bulimia nervosa patients-even those of normal weight can severely damage their bodies by frequent binge eating and purging. In rare instances, binge eating causes the stomach to rupture; purging may result in heart failure due to loss of vital minerals such as potassium. Vomiting can cause the esophagus to become inflamed and glands near the cheeks to become swollen. As in anorexia nervosa, bulimia may lead to irregular menstrual periods. Psychological effects include compulsive stealing as well as possible indications of obsessive-compulsive disorder, an illness characterized by repetitive thoughts and behaviors. Obsessive compulsive disorder can also accompany anorexia nervosa. As with anorexia nervosa, bulimia typically begins during adolescence. Eventually, half of those with anorexia nervosa will develop bulimia. The condition occurs most often in women but is also found in men.(6) Binge-eating disorder is found in about 2% of the general population. As many as one-third of this group is men. It also affects older women, though with less frequency. Recent research shows that binge-eating disorder occurs in about 30% of people participating in medically supervised weight-control programs. (7) This disorder differs from bulimia because its sufferers do not purge. Individuals with binge eating disorder feel that they lose control of themselves when eating. They eat large quantities of food and do not stop until they are uncomfortably full. Most sufferers are overweight or obese and have a history of weight fluctuations. As a result, they are prone to the serious medical problems associated with obesity, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes. (8) Obese individuals also have a higher risk for gallbladder disease, heart disease, and some types of cancer. Usually they have more difficulty losing weight and keeping it off than do people with other serious weight problems. Like anorexic and bulimic sufferers who exhibit psychological problems, individuals with bingeeating disorder have high rates of simultaneously occurring psychiatric illnesses, especially depression.On the basis of your understanding of the above passage, find out the correct options of the questions1.)

4.	Briefly explain causes for Balance of payments disequillibrium.
Answer» Causes for BoP Disequilibrium: The following are the major causes producing disequilibrium in the balance of payments of a country. (i) Cyclical Fluctuation: 1. .Cyclical disequilibrium in different countries is caused by their cyclical fluctuations, their phases and magnitude. 2. World trade shrinks during depression while trade flourishes during prosperity. (ii) Structural Changes: 1. Structural disequilibrium is caused by the structural changes brought by huge development and investment programmes in the developing economies. 2. Such economies may have high propensity to import for want of capital for rapid industrialization, while export may not be boosted up to that extent. (iii) Development Expenditure: 1. Development disequilibrium is caused by rapid economic development which results in income and price effects. 2. The less developed countries in the early stage of development are not self sufficient. 3. Income, savings and investment are abysmally low. 4. They depend upon developed countries for import of commodities, capital and technology. 5. Export potential is low and import intensity is high. 6. So the LDCs suffer from adverse BoP. (iv) Consumerism: 1. Balance of payments position of a country is adversely affected by a huge increase in consumption. 2. This increases the need for imports and decreases the capacity to export. (v) Demonstration Effect: 1. Deficit in the balance of payments of developing countries is also caused by demonstration effect which influences the people in UDCs to imitate western styled goods. 2. This will raise the propensity to import causing adverse balance of payments. 3. This is good for the developed countries. (vi) Borrowing: 1. International borrowing and investment may cause a deficit in the balance of payments. 2. When the international borrowing is heavy, a country’s balance of payments will be adverse since it repays loans with interest. 3. Servicing of debt is a huge burden. That is why the IJDCs are forced to borrow more. (vii) Technological Backwardness: 1. Due to technological backwardness, the people (Indians) are unable to use the energy (Solar) available with them. 2. As a result they import huge petroleum products from foreign countries, increasing the trade deficit. (viii) Global Politics: 1. The rich countries (e.g. USA) need to sell their weapons to promote their economy and generate employment. 2. Hence, wars between countries (for example Iran and Irag, Pakistan and India) are stimulated In order to win the wars, the poor countries are forced to buy the weapons from weapon – rich countries, using their export earnings and creating trade deficit. 3. Thus UDCs are trapped forever.

6.	Explain the mode of sex determination in honeybees.
Answer» Hapiodiploidy in Honeybees: In hymenopteran insects such as honeybees, ants and wasps, a mechanism of sex determination called hapiodiploidy mechanism of sex determination is common. In this system, the sex of the offspring is determined by the number of sets of chromosomes it receives. Fertilized eggs develop into females (Queen or Worker) and unfertilized eggs develop into males (drones) by parthenogenesis. It means that the males have half the number of chromosomes (haploid) and the females have double the number (diploid), hence the name haplodiplody for this system of sex determination. This mode of sex determination facilitates the evolution of sociality in which only one diploid female becomes a queen and lays the eggs for the colony. All other females which are diploid having developed from fertilized eggs help to raise the queen’s eggs and so contribute to the queen’s reproductive success and indirectly to their own, a phenomenon known as Kin Selection. The queen constructs their social environment by releasing a hormone that suppresses fertility of the workers.

8.	List out the effects of air pollution.
Answer» Affects all organisms as they depend on the atmosphere for respiration. Causes irritation in the throat, nose, lungs and eyes. It causes breathing problems and aggravates existing health conditions such as emphysema and asthma. Contaminated air reduces the body’s defense mechanism and decreases the body’s capacity to fight other infections in the respiratory system. Frequent exposure to polluted air increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Breathing air that is filled with fine particulate matter can induce hardening of the arteries, triggering cardiac arrhythmia or even a heart attack. People who exercise outdoors can sometimes be susceptible to adverse effects of air . pollution because it involves deeper and faster breathing. Hence it is advisable to walk or jog in the mornings in places with ample tree cover. Gas leaks can be lethal or affect the quality of air in the affected area. CO in the atmosphere interferes with 02 transport since haemoglobin has greater affinity for carbon monoxide. At low concentration it causes head and blurred vision. In higher concentration, it can lead to coma and death.
