1. A gas is released during photosynthesis. Name the gas and also state the way by which the gas is evolved.
2. What are stomata? What governs the opening and closing of stomata?

1. List the three events that accur during the process of photosynthesis. Explain the role of stomata in this process.
2. Describe an experiment to show that ''sunlight is essential for photosynthesis.''

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

The organs A of a person have been damaged completely due to which too much of a poisonous waste material B has started accumulating in his blood, making it dirty. In order to save this person's life, the blood from an artery in the person's arm is made to flow into long tubes made of substance E which are kept in coiled form in a tank containing solution F. This solution contains three materials G, H and I in similar proportions to those in normal blood. As the person's blood passes through long tubes of substance E, most of the wastes present in it go into solution. The clean blood is then put back into a vein in the arm of the person for circulation.

1. What are organs A?
2. Name the waste substance B.
3. What are (i) E and (ii) F? Name G, H and I.
4. What is the process described above known as?

A, B and C are three living organisms. The organism A is a unicellullar fungus which can live without air. It is used in the commercial production of an organic compound P from molasses. The organism B is a unicellular animal which lives in water and feeds and moves by using pseudopodia. It breathes through an organelle Q. The organism C is a tiny animal which acts as a carrier of malarial parasite. It breathes and respires through a kind of tiny holes R and air - tubes S in its body.

1. What are organisms A, B and C?
2. Name P, Q, R and S.
3. Which organism/ organisms undergo aerobic respiration?
4. Which organism/ organisms undergo anaerobic respiration?

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

What are the different modes of nutrition? Explain with one example of each mode of nutrition.

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?

Explain the process of nutrition in Amoeba.

A liquid X of colour Y circulates in the human body only in one direction: from body tissues to the heart. Among other things, liquid X contains germs from cells and dead cells. The liquid X is cleaned of germs and dead cells by a special type of white blood cells called Z. This cleaned liquid is then put into blood circulatory system in subclavian veins.

1. What is (i) liquid X and (ii) colour Y?
2. What are Z.
3. The liquid X is somewhat similar to a component of blood. Name this component.
4. Why is liquid X not red?
