Answer: (a) A substance which can flow is called fluid. The common fluids are juice, water, and soup.
(b) Archimedes’ principle states that “when a body is immersed partially or completely in a fluid (liquid or gas), it experiences an upthrust or buoyant force that is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by body.”
(c) When an object is placed on the surface of water, two forces act on the object:
(i) The gravitational force that act in the downward direction.
(ii) The upthrust or the buoyant force that act in the upward direction.
An object floats on the surface of water if the upthrust of water on the object is greater than the weight of the object. An object sinks if the weight of the object is greater than the upthrust of water on the object.

hapter IHE IUNDAMENTAL UNTT OF TIFI While examining a thin slice of cork, Robert avoid air bubbies while putting the Hooke saw that the cork resembled the cover slip with the help of a mounting structure of a honeycomb consisting of many needle. Ask your teacher for help. We little compartments. Cork is a substance have prepared a temporary mount of onion peel. We can observe this silide which comes from the bark of a tree. This under low power followed by high was in the year 1665 when Hooke made this powers of a compound microscope. chance observation through a self-designed microscope. Robert Hooke called these boxes cells. Cell is a Latin word for 'a little room'. This may seem to be a very small and insignificant incident but it is very important in the history of science. This was the very first time that someone had observed that living things appear to consist of separate units. The use of the word 'cell' to describe these units is being used till this day in biology. Let us find out about cells. 5.1 What are Living Organisms Made Up of? Activity 5.1 Let us take a small piece from an onion What do we observe as we look thro bulb. With the help of a pair of forceps, the lens? Can we draw the structures we can peel off the skin (called we are able to see through the microsc epidermis) from the concave side (inner on an observation sheet? Does it look layer) of the onion. This layer can be put immediately in a watch-glass Fig. 5.2? containing water. This will prevent the peel from getting folded or getting dry. What do we do with this peel? Let us take a glass slide, put a drop of water on it and transfer a small piece of the peel from the watch glass to the slide. Make sure that the peel is perfectly flat on the slide. A thin camel hair paintbrush might be necessary to help transfer the peel. Now we put a drop of safranin solution on this plece followed by a cover slip. Take care to Fig. 5.2: Cells of an onion peel
