Consider the following chemical reactions which take place in different organisms/ tissues under various conditions:

1. Glucose → Respiration → Respiration Ethanol + Carbon-dioxide + Energy.
2. Glucose → Respiration → Respiration Carbon-dioxide + Water + Energy.
3. Glucose → Respiration → Respiration Lactic acid + Energy.

Classify the following into herbivores, carnivores and omnivores:

An organism X having breathing organs A lives on land. When organism X goes under water, it cannot survive for a long time unless carrying an oxygen cylinder. On the other hand, the organism Y having breathing organs B always lives in water and if taken out of water, it dies after a short while. A third organism Z having breathing organs C and D which lives on the banks of ponds, lakes and rivers can survive on land as well as in water equally well.

1. What could organism X be? Name the breathing organs A.
2. What could organism Y be? Name the breathing organs B.
3. What could organism Z be? Name the breathing organs C and D.
4. Out of X, Y and Z, which organism is.

1. Amphibian,
2. Aquatic,
3. Terrestrial?

The human body has an organ A which acts as a double pump. The oxygenated blood coming from the lungs through a blood vessel B enters the upper left chamber C of the double pump. When chamber C contracts, then blood goes into lower left chamber D. The contraction of chamber D forces the blood to go into a blood vessel E which supplies oxygenated blood to all the organs of the body (except the lungs). The deoxygenated blood coming out of the body organs is taken by a blood vessel F to the right upper chamber G of pumping organ. Contraction of chamber G forces the deoxygenated blood into right lower chamber H. And finally the contraction of chamber H sends the deoxygenated blood into lungs through a blood vessel I.

1. What is organ A?
2. Name the blood vessel (i) B (ii) E (iii) F, and (iv) I.
3. What are chambers (i) C, and (ii) D?
4. What are chambers (i) G and (ii) H?

1. Draw the structure of a nephron and label the following on it: Glomerulus, Bowman’s capsule, Renal artery, Collecting duct.
2. What happens to glucose that enters the nephron along with filtrate?

1. Name the organs that form the excretory system in human beings.
2. Describe in brief how urine is produced in human body.
