A unicellular animal P having no fixed shape ingests a food particle by forming temporary finger-like projections Q. The food particle is engulfed with a little surrounding water to form a temporary stomach R inside it. The chemicals S from surrounding cytoplasm enter into R and break down food into small and soluble molecules by chemical reactions. The digested food is absorbed directly into cytoplasm by the process T. The undigested food is thrown out of the body by the rupture of a cell organelle U in a process called V.
  1. Name the unicellular animal P.
  2. What are (i) Q, and (ii) R?
  3. Name (i) chemical S, and (ii) process T.
  4. Name (i) organelle U, and (ii) process V.

    If the teeth are not cleaned regularly, they become covered with a sticky yellowish layer W of food particles and bacteria. Since layer W covers the teeth, the alkaline liquid X secreted by glands Y inside the mouth cannot reach the teeth surface to neutralise the acid formed by the action of organisms Z on sugary food, and hence tooth decay sets in.
    1. What is W known as?
    2. What is (i) X, and (ii) Y?
    3. What are organisms Z?
    4. State one way of removing layer W from the teeth.
