starch-iodine test. Starch is present because
Q2. c) X is pyruvic acid and Y is ethanol photosynthesis take place. CO2 was available.
Q3. c) A is true but R is false Q8.
Q4. a) Both A & R are true, R is correct a) Bile juice or bile salt

b) Pancreatic lipase and intestinal lipase
Q5.
c) Fatty acids and glycerol
a) They are called villi.
Q9.
b) Role –
a) X is gastric glands and Y is gastric juice
Villi increase surface area for absorption of
nutrients from digested food in small b) P is mucus and Q is Hydrochloric acid (HCl)

c) HCl activates the enzyme pepsin
They are richly supplied by blood vessels
which carry nutrients to all body parts. HCl kills the harmful bacteria (microbes)
that enter with food.
Q6.
Q.10
a) Fishes (aquatic organisms) respire through
gills. They take dissolved oxygen from a) Hairs and mucus in nasal passage filter the
surrounding water. Concentration of air and prevent entry of dust, dirt and
oxygen is low in water. Thus, their pollens.
breathing rate is faster.
b) Trachea is protected by “C – shaped” rings
b) Humans (terrestrial organisms) take of cartilage which prevent it from
oxygen from oxygen rich atmosphere (air). collapsing
Hence, breathing rate is slow.
c) Alveoli are thin walled. They increase
