Explain with a schematic representation the exchange of gases in tissues.

Write the events that occur during the process of breathing in humans.

Describe the exchange of gases which takes place in the leaves of a plant:

1. During daytime.
2. At night.

Describe the process of nutrition in Draw labelled diagrams to show the various steps in the nutrition in Amoeba.

The process of ultra-filtration is essential in urine formation, where does this step occur in nephron?

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?

Distinguish between aquatic and terrestrial respiration.

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?

1. Define excretion.
2. Name the basic filtration unit present in the kidney.
3. Draw excretory system in human beings and label the following organs of excretory system which perform following functions:

1. Form urine.
2. Is a long tube which collects urine from kidney.
3. Store urine until it is passed out.
