Some sugar solution is taken in a test-tube and a little of substance X in powder form is added to it. The mouth of test - tube is closed with a cork and allowed to stand for sometime. On opening the cork, a characteristic smell of substance Y is obtained and a gas Z is also observed to be formed. The gas Z extinguishes a burning matchstick.

1. What could be X, Y and Z?
2. What is the process of converting sugar into substance Y by the action of X known as?
3. What type of respiration is exhibited by X in the above process?

A liquid X of colour Y circulates in the human body only in one direction: from body tissues to the heart. Among other things, liquid X contains germs from cells and dead cells. The liquid X is cleaned of germs and dead cells by a special type of white blood cells called Z. This cleaned liquid is then put into blood circulatory system in subclavian veins.

1. What is (i) liquid X and (ii) colour Y?
2. What are Z.
3. The liquid X is somewhat similar to a component of blood. Name this component.
4. Why is liquid X not red?
