From which part of the body, undigested food is egested in Amoeba ?
Amoeba has no fixed place for egestion. The undigested food gets collected inside amoeba, then its cell membrane suddenly ruptures and the undigested food is thrown out of the body of amoeba.
(a) Which part of the body secretes bile ? Where is bile stored ? What is the function of bile ?
(b) What is trypsin ? What is its function ?
Apart from sunlight and chlorophyll, what other things are required to make food by photosynthesis ?
Name the following :
(a) The process in plants which converts light energy into chemical energy.
(b) Organisms that cannot prepare their own food.
(c) Organisms that can prepare their own food.
(d) The cell organelle where photosynthesis occurs.
(e) The cells which surround a stomatal pore.
(f) An enzyme secreted by gastric glands in stomach which acts on proteins.
State whether the following statements are true or false :
(a) During respiration, the plants take C02 and release 02.
(b) Energy can be produced in cells without oxygen.
(c) Fish and earthworm exchange gases during respiration in the same way.
What is the name of tiny projections on the inner surface of small intestine which help in absorbing the digested food ?
(a) Name the main organs of the human digestive system. Also name the associated glands.
(b) How do carbohydrates, fats and proteins get digested in human beings ?
Out of photosynthesis and respiration in plants, which process occurs :
(a) all the time ?
(b) only at daytime ?

(d) Yeast undergoes……….. respiration whereas Amoeba undergoes………….. respiration.
(e) Gills are the breathing organs in…………..
Name the final product/products obtained in the anaerobic respiration, if it takes place :
(a) in a plant (like yeast).
(b) in an animal tissue (like muscles).
What are the different ways in which glucose is oxidised to provide energy in various organisms ? Give one example of each.
Explain why, when air is taken in and let out during breathing, the lungs always contain a residual volume of air.
State the three common features of all the respiratory organs like skin, gills and lungs.
(a) Explain how, the air we breathe in gets cleaned while passing through the nasal passage.
(b) Why do the walls of trachea not collapse when there is less air in it ?
(c) How are oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged in our body during respiration ?
(d) How are lungs designed in human beings to maximise the exchange of gases ?
Give two points of differences between respiration in plants and respiration in animals.
What are the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration? Name some organisms that use the anaerobic mode of respiration.
