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.

Draw the diagram of alimentary canal of man and label the following parts.Mouth, Oesophagus, Stomach, Intestine.

What is the difference between external and internal respiration.

A, B and C are three living organisms. The organism A is a unicellullar fungus which can live without air. It is used in the commercial production of an organic compound P from molasses. The organism B is a unicellular animal which lives in water and feeds and moves by using pseudopodia. It breathes through an organelle Q. The organism C is a tiny animal which acts as a carrier of malarial parasite. It breathes and respires through a kind of tiny holes R and air - tubes S in its body.

1. What are organisms A, B and C?
2. Name P, Q, R and S.
3. Which organism/ organisms undergo aerobic respiration?
4. Which organism/ organisms undergo anaerobic respiration?

1. Why is there a difference in the rate of breathing between aquatic organisms and terrestrial organisms? Explain.
2. Draw a diagram of human respiratory system and label-pharynx, trachea, lungs, diaphragm and alveolar sac on it.

When a person puts food in his mouth, then teeth cut it into small pieces, chew and grind it. The glands A in the mouth secrete a substance B which is mixed with the food by tongue. The substance B contains an enzyme C which starts the digestion of food in the mouth. The slightly digested food from the mouth goes down a tube D. The special type of movements E in the walls of tube D push the food into stomach for further digestion. The stomach wall secretes gastric juice containing three substance F, G and H. One of the functions of F is to kill bacteria which may enter the stomach with food. The substance G protects the inside layer of stomach from the damaging effect of substance F whereas substance H is and enzyme for digestion. The partially digested food then enters into small intestine for further digestion.

1. What is Gland A, Substance B and Enzyme C?
2. Name the tube D.
3. What is the movement E known as?
4. What are F, G and H?
