CBSE Class 9 Science Sample Exam with Answers

Instructions:
 This exam consists of four sections: A, B, C, and D. Answers are combined within
each section.
 Read the questions carefully before answering.
 The total marks for the exam are 80.
 Marks for each section are mentioned within the section.
Section A: Multiple Choice Questions (1 mark each, total 10 marks)
1. Answer: c) Plasma
2. Answer: a) Molecule
3. Answer: d) Protons, neutrons, and electrons
4. Answer: b) Atomic number
5. Answer: c) Cell
6. Answer: c) Both a and b
7. Answer: a) Surface of the body
8. Answer: c) Using pesticides
9. Answer: d) All of the above
10. Answer: b) Sustainable practices
Section B: Short Answer Questions (2 marks each, total 10 marks)
1. Atom: The smallest unit of an element that cannot be further broken down chemically.
(Example: Hydrogen atom) Molecule: A group of atoms chemically bonded together.
(Example: Water molecule (H2O))
2. Covalent bonding: Atoms share electrons to achieve a stable outer shell configuration.
(Example: Hydrogen molecule) Ionic bonding: Electrons are transferred between
atoms, creating charged ions that attract each other. (Example: Sodium chloride
(NaCl))
3. Protons: Positively charged particles found in the nucleus, determine the atomic
number. Neutrons: Uncharged particles found in the nucleus, no net charge. Electrons:
Negatively charged particles orbiting the nucleus, define the element's chemical
properties.
4. Cell wall: Provides structural support and protection in plant cells. Cell membrane:
Controls what enters and leaves the cell, maintains internal environment.
5. Plant cells: Have cell wall, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, rigid shape. Animal cells:
Lack cell wall, no chloroplasts, more flexible shape.
6. Photosynthesis: Plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and
oxygen.
7. Tissues: Epithelial (covering and lining), Connective (support and binding), Muscle
(movement), Nervous (coordination and control).
8. Food preservation: Freezing, canning, drying, salting, pickling.
9. Crop rotation: Prevents soil depletion, reduces pest and disease problems.
10. Biofertilizers: Enhance soil fertility by fixing nitrogen or providing growth-promoting
microorganisms.
Section C: Long Answer Questions (5 marks each, total 20 marks)
1. Diagram and explanation of atom: Include labeled nucleus, protons, neutrons,
electrons, and energy levels. Explain the function of each part.
2. Levels of organization: Cell -> Tissue -> Organ -> Organ system -> Organism ->
Population -> Community -> Ecosystem -> Biosphere. Briefly explain the structure
and function of each level.
3. Laws of motion:
o Law of Inertia: An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in
motion with constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
(Examples: Ball rolling on a smooth surface, car maintaining speed)
o Law of Acceleration: The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to
the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. (Examples:
Pushing a cart, car accelerating)
o Law of Action and Reaction: For every action, there is an equal and opposite
reaction. (Examples: Rocket launching, jumping)
4. Importance of water: Regulates body temperature, transports nutrients and waste, aids
in digestion, lubricates joints, etc. Water deficiency: Dehydration, fatigue, organ
damage, even death.
5. Sustainable agriculture essay: Discuss practices like crop rotation, organic farming,
water conservation, and pest control methods, highlighting their benefits for
environmental health, food security, and long-term agricultural productivity.
Section D: Practical Skills (10 marks)
1. Starch test:
o Boil a leaf in water.
o Add iodine solution, turning black indicates starch presence.
2. Tissue identification:
o Prepare stem cross-section, stain with appropriate dyes.
o Identify and draw labeled diagrams of tissues like phloem, xylem, and
parenchyma.
3. Microscope magnification:
o Use objective lens and eyepiece magnification values to calculate total
magnification.
Note: This is a sample exam and the actual exam may differ in structure and content.
I hope this combined response provides a comprehensive and helpful sample exam!
