Life Processes-Nutrition & Respiration Test Code: 10SUT103 Marks: 30 Duration: 1 hr
1. Why do our bodies need energy even when we are not working? (1) Ans. Our bodies need energy even if we are not working because at that time energy is required toi. ii. maintain the state of order in body.
synthesize proteins and other essential materials required by body tissues.
2. How does HCl in human stomach helps in digestion of food?(1) Ans. i. It helps in activating the protein digesting enzyme. ii. It kills any germs which may have entered along with the food. 3. How do plants respire? (1) Ans.
Plants exchange gases through Stomata and large intercellular spaces ensure that all cells are in contact with air. Stomata allow CO2 to go into O2 to go out of the leaves.
4. What is photosynthesis? Write the balanced chemical equation of photosynthesis? (2) Ans. The process by which green plant prepare their own food by using inorganic materials like water and carbon dioxide in the presence of chlorophyll and sunlight is known as photosynthesis. The chemical equation of photosynthesis is-
5. If you take butter in your lunch. How it will get digested in your body? (2) Ans.
1.Butter consists of fat which can be digested with the help of Bile juice released from the liver 2. Fats are present in the intestine in the form of large globules which makes it difficult for enzymes to act on them. 3. Bile salts present in bile juice break fat into smaller globules to increase the action of enzymes. 4. Fats break down in the form of fatty acids.
6. Most of the CO2 produced in a tissue enters the red blood cells by diffusion. What happens to this CO2? (2) Ans.
Most of the CO2 produced in a tissue enters the RBC by diffusion. RBCs are present in the blood consist of a pigment known as Haemoglobin. CO2 produced by tissues binds the Hb and get transported to the lungs through blood from where it is released out through nostrils.
7. Explain the process of exchange of O2 and CO2 in tissues? (2) Ans. The air that we inhale reaches to the alveoli of the lugs. The inspired air has more concentration of O2 as compared to the blood capillaries in alveoli which have more concentration of CO2. Due to the process of diffusion O2 flows into the blood capillaries and taken to the heart and CO2 moves from the blood in alveoli. Same process of diffusion will takes place when oxygen rich blood reaches to various body cells and due to less concentration of oxygen there, oxygen is supplied to cells. 8. Suppose you are provided with a variegated leaf of a money plant. How will you demonstrate that chlorophyll is essential for photosynthesis? (3) Ans.
1)First keep the plant in the dark room for three days so that all starch get used up. Then keep it in the light for six hours.Now pluck a leaf from the plant and mark the green areas in it and trace them on a sheet of paper. 2)Then dip the leaf in boiling water for few minute. After this, immerse it in a beaker containing alcohol.Now carefully place the above beaker in a water-bath and heat till the alcohol begins to boil. 3)Now dip the leaf in a dilute solution of iodine for a few minutes. It will show the absence of starch in the green areas shows that chlorophyll is necessary for the synthesis of food.
9. (a) By what name finger like projection on the intestine called ? What is their function? (b) If we cut the bile duct how will it affect the process of digestion? (3) Ans.
(a) Villi are the finger like projection on the intestine. They increases the surface area for the absorption of food. (b) Liver releases bile juice through the bile duct in the intestine which helps in the digestion of fat . If we cut it then there will be no digestion of fat.
10. Differentiate between Aerobic & Anaerobic Respiration? (3) Ans.
Aerobic Anaerobic 1. Occurs in the presence of O2 1.Occurs in the absence of O2 2. Glucose, the respiratory substrate, 2. Respiratory substrate is incompletely is oxidised completely into oxidized into CO2 and ethyl alcohol(in alcoholic CO2 & H2O. fermentation) or lactic acid (in lactic acid fermentation). Glycolysis Glucose ------------------ Pyruvate Krebs cycle Pyruvate ---------------- +O2 CO2 + H2O + Energy 3. Occurs in mitochondria Glycolysis Glucose ------------------ Pyruvate Fermentation Pyruvate ---------------- -O2 Ethyl alcohol + CO2 + Energy 3.Occurs in the cytoplasm
11. (i) Write the functions of followinga)Cartilage rings present in throat b)Presence of gland cells in nasal cavities. (ii) What changes take place in the muscles of diaphragm during the process of inhalation and exhalation? Also give reason for these changes? Ans. (i) a) The rings of cartilage present in our throat prevent the air passage from getting collapsed. b) The ciliated columnar epithelium is rich in gland cells. Presence of these gland cells in the nasal cavities make the inspired air warm, moistened and also dust free. (ii) During the process of inhalation, the muscles of diaphragm contract, diaphragm flattens and size of thoracic cavity increases so that large amount of air (oxygen) can enter into the lungs. During the process of exhalation, the muscles of diaphragm relax, diaphragm is pushed upwards and the size of thoracic cavity is reduced so that results in release of air (carbon dioxide). 12. (i) Draw a well labelled diagram showing the human respiratory system. (ii) After a vigorous exercise, you may experience cramps in your leg muscles. Why does this happen? [ 3+2 = 5 ] (5) (Ans) (i) Human Respiratory System
(ii) During vigorous exercise, our body consumes more oxygen, which leads to loss of oxygen from the muscle cells. Lack of oxygen in the muscle cells causes break-down of pyruvate. This pyruvate is converted into lactic acid which accumulates in the muscles and causes cramps.
