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

1. Draw a diagram of human alimentary canal and label on it: Oesophagus, Gallbladder, Liver and Pancreas.
2. Explain the statement, ‘Bile does not contain any enzyme but it is essential for digestion.’

What are the methods used by plants to get rid of their waste products?

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?

How do carbohydrates, proteins and fats get digested in human beings?

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?

Draw a labelled diagram of:

1. A xylem vessel.
2. A sieve tube (or phloem).

If the teeth are not cleaned regularly, they become covered with a sticky yellowish layer W of food particles and bacteria. Since layer W covers the teeth, the alkaline liquid X secreted by glands Y inside the mouth cannot reach the teeth surface to neutralise the acid formed by the action of organisms Z on sugary food, and hence tooth decay sets in.

1. What is W known as?
2. What is (i) X, and (ii) Y?
3. What are organisms Z?
4. State one way of removing layer W from the teeth.

Explain the term dialysis.

Draw a labelled diagram of the human digestive system. With the help of this diagram, describe the process of digestion of food in man (humans).
