The main difference between single circulatory systems and double circulatory systems is that in the case of single circulatory systems, blood passes through the heart only once on each circuit around the whole of the blood circulation system of the animal.but the double circulatory systems blood is pumped twice. Once from the heart to the lungs and then from heart to rest of the body.
In the single circulation the deoxygenated blood from the whole body of the animal spammed into the heart. From the heart it goes to the gills and the oxygenated blood is pumped back into the body. This kind of circulation takes place in fishes. Conversely, in the case of double circulatory systems, blood passes through the heart twice during one complete circuit around the blood system through the body of the animal. double circulation the deoxygenated blood is collected from the body, goes to the lungs for the process of oxygenation and then this oxygenated blood comes back to the heart. The heart pumps back this oxygenated blood into the body tissues. In this type of circulation, as the blood passes through the heart two times, it is known as double circulation. It takes place in birds & mammals like human beings.

    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.

    There are five animals P, Q, R, S and T. The animal P always lives in water and has gills for breathing. The animal Q can stay in water as well as on land and can breathe both, through moist skin and lungs. The animal R lives in soil and breathes only through its skin. The animal S lives on land and breathes through spiracles and tracheae. And animal T lives in water and breathes through its cell membrane.

    Water and dissolved minerals get into the root hair of a plant by a process called A and enter the conducting tissue B. The process C helps the water and dissolved minerals to move up through the tissue B in roots and stem, and reach the leaves of a plant. In the leaves food is made by a process D. This food is then transported to all the parts of a plant through tissue E. The process of distributing food made in the leaves to all the parts of the plants is called F.

    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.
