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.

When a person eats sugary food, then organisms A present in his mouth act on sugar to produce a substance B. The substance B first dissolves the calcium salts from the top part C of the tooth and then from its middle part D forming holes E. These holes ultimately reach the part F in the lower part of tooth which contains nerves and blood vessels. The substance B irritates the nerve endings inside the tooth causing toothache.

1. What are (i) organisms A, and (ii) substance B?
2. What are (i) part C, and (ii) part D, of tooth known as?
3. By what name are the holes E in the tooth known?
4. Name the part F of the tooth.
5. What will happen if organisms A reach part F of the tooth known?

Plants absorb water from the soil. How does this water reach to the top of the tree? Explain in detail.

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.

1. Name one organism which respires according to equation (i) above.
2. Name one organism which respires according to equation (ii) above.
3. When and where does respiration represented by equation (iii) above take place?
4. Which equation/ equations represent aerobic respiration?
5. Which equation/ equations represent anaerobic respiration?
6. Which of the above reactions produces the maximum amount of energy?

Explain the various functions of blood.

The transport system in plants consists of two kinds of tissues X and Y. The tissue X is made up of living cells and consists of two components A and B. The component A has tiny pores in its end walls and contains only cytoplasm but no nucleus. On the other hand, component B has cytoplasm as well as nucleus. The tissue Y is made up of dead cells and consists of two components C and D. The component C has open ends whereas component D does not have open ends. In flowering plants, either only C or both C and D transport water but D is the only water conducting tissue in non - flowering plants.

1. What is (i) tissue X, (ii) component A and (iii) component B?
2. What is (i) tissue Y, (ii) component C and (iii) component D?

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

1. Draw a diagram depicting Human Alimentary Canal and label on it, Gall Bladder, Liver and Pancreas.
2. State the roles of Liver and Pancreas.
3. Name the organ which performs the following functions in humans:

1. Absorption of digested food.
2. Absorption of water.
