Very Short Answer Questions
Question. What are the necessary conditions for autotrophic nutrition and what are its by-products?
Answer : Conditions necessary for autotrophic nutrition are sunlight, chlorophyll, carbon dioxide and water. Byproducts of autotrophic nutrition are water and oxygen.
Question. What is the role of saliva in the digestion of food?
Answer : The saliva contains an enzyme called salivary amylase enzyme that breaks down starch to sugar. The saliva moistens the food that helps in chewing and breaking down the big pieces of food into smaller ones, so that salivary amylase can digest the starch efficiently.
Question. Name the form in which the energy derived from the food is stored in humans.
Answer : Chemical energy (ATP).
Question. Define photosynthesis.
Answer : The process by which green plants make their own food (like glucose) from carbon dioxide and water by using solar energy in the presence of chlorophyll is called photosynthesis.
Question. (a) Explain with the help of diagram, how amoeba takes its nutrition.
(b) Assume that you are a veterinary surgeon and you had removed a good length of the small intestine of a bear that was suffering from an intestinal tumor. Now, would you suggest a plant based or a meat based diet for the bear after its recovery? Give reason for your answer.
(c) Do you think plant based food should be preferred over non-vegetarian food?
Answer : (a) Amoeba takes in the food particles with the help of its finger like projections called pseudopodia. Inside its cell a food vacuole is formed around the food particle. Inside the food vacuole, complex substances are broken down into simpler ones which are then diffused into the cell cytoplasm. The remaining undigested material is sent to the surface of the cell and thrown out. The process of nutrition in Amoeba is called Endocytosis.
(b) I would suggest a meat based diet for the bear after its recovery because meat based food can be digested easily in a smaller sized small intestine.
(c) We should encourage vegetarian food over non-vegetarian food.
Question. Describe double circulation in human beings. Why is it necessary?
Answer : The blood passes twice through the heart during each cycle to supply blood once to the whole body, so this circulation in human beings is called double circulation of blood. The double circulation of blood includes systemic circulation and pulmonary circulation.
Necessity of double circulation: The right side and the left side of the human heart are useful to keep deoxygenated and oxygenated blood from mixing. The separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood ensures highly efficient supply of oxygen to the body. This is necessary because it constantly gives energy to maintain the body temperature.
Question. Name three different glands associated with the digestive system in humans. Also name their secretions.
Answer : Three glands associated with the digestive system are as follows:
(i) Salivary glands in the mouth produce saliva. Saliva contains an enzyme called salivary amylase which digests the starch present in food into sugar.
(ii) Liver is the largest gland which secretes bile and pours its secretion in the duodenum (part of the small intestine). Bile makes the acidic food coming from the stomach alkaline so that pancreatic enzymes can act on it. Bile salts also break the fats present in the food into small globules.
(iii) Pancreas is also a large gland which secretes pancreatic juice into the duodenum. Pancreatic juice contains
• pancreatic amylase which breaks down the starch.
• trypsin digests the protein.
• lipase which breaks down the emulsified fats.
Pancreatic juice acts on alkaline medium.
Question. How are fats digested in our bodies? Where does this process take place?
Answer : Digestion of fat: The fats are present in the form of large globules in the small intestine. Bile juice secreted by the liver is poured in the intestine alongwith pancreatic juice. The bile salts present in the bile juice emulsify the large globules of fats. The walls of the small intestine contain glands which secrete intestinal juice. The enzymes present in it, finally convert the proteins into amino acids, complex carbohydrates into glucose and emulsified fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
The digestion of fat takes place in the small intestine.
Question. Why do herbivores have longer, small intestine than carnivores?
Answer : The length of the small intestine differs in various animals depending on the type of food they eat. Cellulose is a carbohydrate food which is digested with difficulty. So the herbivorous animals like cows which eat grass need a longer small intestine to allow the cellulose present in grass to be digested completely.
Question. (a) What is translocation? Why is it essential for plants?
(b) Where are the substances translocated by the phloem delivered?
Answer : (a) The movement of food from leaves to other parts of the plant in phloem is called translocation. The translocation is necessary because every part of the plant needs food for obtaining energy, for building its parts and maintaining its life.
(b) The movement of food in phloem is transported upwards or downwards depending on the needs of the plant, for example, in spring, even the sugar stored in the root or stem tissue of a plant would be transported through phloem to the buds which need energy to grow.
Question. How are the alveoli designed to maximise the exchange of gases?
Answer : Alveoli have a balloon-like structure that provides maximum surface area for the exchange of gases. Also alveoli is thin-walled and contains an extensive network of blood capillaries to facilitate exchange of gases between blood and the air filled in it.
Long Answer Questions
Question. Draw the human respiratory system and label the following parts:
(a) Trachea (b) Alveoli (c) Respiratory bronchioles (d) Larynx
Describe in brief the role of lungs in the exchange of gases.
Answer : Human respiratory system: Role of lungs:
(i) When we breathe in air, the diaphragm contracts which results in the increase of chest cavity. Due to this expansion of chest cavity, the air pressure in the lungs decreases. Thus, air from outside rushes into the lungs through nostrils, trachea and bronchi. Thus sacs of lungs get filled with air when we breathe in. The exchange of gases between alveoli and blood takes place by the process of diffusion.
(ii) Now the air present in air sacs of the lungs is rich in CO2. When we breathe out air, the diaphragm relaxes which results in the decrease of chest cavity. This contraction pushes the air from the lungs into the trachea, nostrils and then out of the body into air. Breathing in of air is called inhalation and breathing out of air is called exhalation.
Question. (a) Compare the length of small intestine in herbivore and carnivore animal.
(b) Mention any two structural modifications in small intestine which helps in absorption.
Answer : (a) The length of the small intestine differs in various animals depending on the type of food they eat. For example, cellulose is a carbohydrate food which is digested with difficulty. So, the herbivorous animals like cow which eat grass need a longer ‘small intestine’ to allow the cellulose present in grass to be digested completely. On the other hand, meat is a food which is easier to digest. So, the carnivorous animals like tigers which eat meat, have a shorter ‘small intestine’.
(b) The inner surface of small intestine has millions of tiny, finger-like projections called villi. The presence of villi gives the inner walls of the small intestine a very large surface area and the large surface area of small intestine helps in the rapid absorption of digested food.
Question. Describe double circulation in human beings.
(a) Why is it necessary?
Answer : (a) Double circulation of blood means, that the blood enters twice in the heart during its one circulation in other parts of the body. First time oxygenated blood from lungs enters the left atrium and second time de-oxygenated blood enters the right atrium through two main vena cava. Double circulation of blood is necessary to separate the oxygenated blood from the de-oxygenated blood to provide more energy for efficient working of body organs.
Question. Draw the diagram of sectional view of human heart and on it name and label the following parts:
(a) The chamber of the heart that pumps out deoxygenated blood.
(b) The blood vessel that carries away oxygenated blood from the heart.
(c) The blood vessel that receives deoxygenated blood from the lower part of our body.
Answer :
(a) The chamber of the heart that pumps out deoxygenated blood—Right ventricle
(b) The blood vessel that carries away oxygenated blood from the heart—Aorta
(c) The blood vessel that receives deoxygenated blood from the lower part of our body—Inferior Vena Cava
Question. (a) Explain how the separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood is useful in humans?
(b) Why is double circulation of blood necessary in humans?
Answer : (a) Humans have a four chambered heart which consists of two atria and two ventricles. In a four chambered heart, the left side and right side of the heart are completely separated to prevent the oxygenated blood from mixing with deoxygenated blood. Such a separation allows a highly efficient supply of oxygen to the body cells which is necessary for producing a lot of energy. This energy is useful for a warm blooded animal (like humans) which has high energy needs to maintain body temperature.
(b) All the animals having four chambered hearts have double circulation in which the blood passes through the heart ‘twice’ in one complete cycle of the body. This ensures the separation of oxygenated blood from deoxygenated blood.
Explanation:
Double circulation. The blood travels twice through the heart in one complete cycle of the body and is called double circulation. It involves two circulations:
(i) Pulmonary circulation. The pathway of the blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart is called pulmonary circulation. It is a small circulation. Deoxygenated blood in the right ventricle flows into the vascular system of the lungs, becomes oxygenated and returns to the hearts left atrium through pulmonary veins.
(ii) Systemic circulation. The pathway of the blood from the heart to the rest of the body and back to the heart is called systemic circulation. It is a large circulation. Left ventricle sends the blood into the aorta. Aorta divides into arteries, arterioles and capillaries and supplies oxygenated blood to various parts of the body. From there the deoxygenated blood is collected by venules, which join to form veins and finally vena cava and pours blood back into the right atrium.
Question. (a) Draw a diagram of human alimentary canal and label the following parts:
(i) largest gland.
(ii) gland that secretes digestive enzymes and hormone.
(iii) part where HCl is produced.
(iv) part where digested food is absorbed.
(b) What are villi? Explain their function in the digestive system.
Answer : (a) (i) Largest gland—Liver
(ii) Gland that secretes digestive enzymes and hormone—Pancreas
(iii) Part where HCl is produced —Stomach
(iv) Part where digested food is absorbed—Small intestine
(b) The small intestine is especially adapted for absorption of digested food. The inner surface of small intestine has millions of tiny, finger like projections called villi which provide the inner walls of small intestine a very large surface area. The large surface area helps in the rapid absorption of digested food. The villi are richly supplied with blood vessels which take the absorbed food to each and every cell of the body.
