There is a pair of bean-shaped organs P in the human body towards the back, just above the waist. A waste product Q formed by the decomposition of unused proteins in the liver is brought into organ P through blood by an artery R. The numerous tiny filters S present in organ P clean the dirty blood by removing the waste product Q. The clean blood goes into circulation through a vein T. The waste substance Q, other waste salts, and excess water form a yellowish liquid U which goes from organ P into a bag-like structure V through two tubes W. This liquid is then thrown out of the body through a tube X.

1. What is (i) organ P and (ii) waste substance Q?
2. Name (i) artery R, and (ii) vein T.
3. What are tiny filters S known as?
4. Name (i) liquid U, (ii) structure V, (iii) tubes W and (iv) tube X.

Some sugar solution is taken in a test-tube and a little of substance X in powder form is added to it. The mouth of test - tube is closed with a cork and allowed to stand for sometime. On opening the cork, a characteristic smell of substance Y is obtained and a gas Z is also observed to be formed. The gas Z extinguishes a burning matchstick.

1. What could be X, Y and Z?
2. What is the process of converting sugar into substance Y by the action of X known as?
3. What type of respiration is exhibited by X in the above process?

Mention the major events during photosynthesis.

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?

What are the various components of blood? State their functions.

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).

The liquid connective tissue A circulates in our body continuously without stopping. This tissue contains a pigment B which imparts it a colour C. The tissue A consists of four components D, E, F and G. The component D fights infection and protects us from diseases. The component E helps in the clotting of tissue A if a person gets a cut. The component F is a liquid which consists mainly of water with many substances dissolved in it and component G carries oxygen from the lungs to all the parts of the body.

1. What is (i) tissue A, (ii) pigment B and (iii) colour C?
2. Name (i) D, (ii) E, (iii) F and (iv) G.
3. Name one substance (other than oxygen) which is transported by tissue A in the human body.
4. Which two components of tissue A are the cells without nucleus?
5. Name any two organisms (animals) which do not have liquid like A in their body.

Distinguish between photosynthesis and respiration.

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.

1. Which of the animals could be Amoeba?
2. Which of the animals could be frog?
3. Which animal could be fish?
4. Which animal could be grasshopper?
5. Which animal could be earthworm?

Given below is the experimental set-up to establish that one of the atmospheric gases is essential for photosynthesis in plants.

1. Name the atmospheric gas which is essential for photosynthesis.
2. What is kept in watch-glass in figure 'a' and why?
3. Write the balanced chemical equation for the process of photosynthesis.
4. When do the desert plants takeup carbon dioxide and perform photosynthesis?
