VALUE BASED / PRACTICAL BASED QUESTIONS
MARKED QUESTIONS MAY HAVE FOR REVISION QUESTIONS.
This Section is not meant for classroom discussion. It is being given to promote self-study and self
testing amongst the Resonance students.
1. When a person puts food in his mouth, then teeth cut it into small pieces, chew and grind it. The
glands A in the mouth secrete a substance B which is mixed with the food by tongue. The substance
B contains an enzyme C which starts the digestion of food in the mouth. The slightly digested food
from the mouth goes down a tube D.The special type of movements E in the walls of tube D push
the food into stomach for further digestion.The stomach wall secretes gastric juice containing three
substance F,G and H. One of the functions of F is to kill bacteria which may enter the stomach with
food.The sustance G protects the inside layer of stomach from the damaging effect of substance F
whereas substance H is an enzyme for digestion, the partially digested food then enters into small
intestine for further digestion.
