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

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?

State one difference between artificial kidney and natural kidney?

An organism A which cannot move from one place to another, makes a simple food B from the substances C and D available in the environment. This food is made in the presence of a green coloured substance E present in organs F in the presence of light energy in a process called G. Some of the simple food B also gets converted into a complex food H for storage purposes. The food H gives a blue-black colour with dilute iodine solution.

1. What is (i) organism A, (ii) food B and (iii) food H?
2. What are C and D?
3. Name (i) green coloured substance E, and (ii) organ F.
4. What is the process G?

Describe the flow of blood through the heart of human beings.

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).

1. Draw the structure of a nephron and label the following on it: Glomerulus, Bowman’s capsule, Renal artery, Collecting duct.
2. What happens to glucose that enters the nephron along with filtrate?

Explain the term dialysis.

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?

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