Draw a labelled diagram of:

1. A xylem vessel.
2. A sieve tube (or phloem).

State the location of salivary glands.

Water and dissolved minerals get into the root hair of a plant by a process called A and enter the conducting tissue B. The process C helps the water and dissolved minerals to move up through the tissue B in roots and stem, and reach the leaves of a plant. In the leaves food is made by a process D. This food is then transported to all the parts of a plant through tissue E. The process of distributing food made in the leaves to all the parts of the plants is called F.

1. What are (i) A, (ii) B, (iii) C, (iv) D, (v) E, and (vi) F?
2. Which tissue is made up of living cells: B or E?
3. Which tissue, B or E, contains sieve tubes?
4. Which tissue, B or E, contains tracheids?

Distinguish between aquatic and terrestrial respiration.

There is a pair of bean-shaped organs P in the human body towards the back, just above the waist. A waste product Q formed by the decomposition of unused proteins in the liver is brought into organ P through blood by an artery R. The numerous tiny filters S present in organ P clean the dirty blood by removing the waste product Q. The clean blood goes into circulation through a vein T. The waste substance Q, other waste salts, and excess water form a yellowish liquid U which goes from organ P into a bag-like structure V through two tubes W. This liquid is then thrown out of the body through a tube X.

1. What is (i) organ P and (ii) waste substance Q?
2. Name (i) artery R, and (ii) vein T.
3. What are tiny filters S known as?
4. Name (i) liquid U, (ii) structure V, (iii) tubes W and (iv) tube X.

What are the different modes of nutrition? Explain with one example of each mode of nutrition.

The organisms A, B and C can obtain their food in three different ways. Organism A derives its food from the body of another living organism which is called its D, without killing it. The organism B takes in the solid food by the process of ingestion, digests a part of this food and throws out undigested food in the process called E. The organism C obtains its food from dead and decaying plants.

1. What is the mode of nutrition of (i) organism A (ii) organism B, and (iii) organism C?
2. What is the organism like D called?
3. Name the process E.
4. Give one example each of organisms like A, B and C.
5. What is the general name of three modes of nutrition exhibited by organisms A, B and C?

How are fats digested in our bodies? Where does this process take place?
