Very Short answer questions.


1.How is respiration different from breathing?
Answer: Respiration is a complex process, which includes breathing, the mechanism of exchange of gases, oxygen and carbon
dioxide and oxidation of digested food occurring in the cells in order release energy. The main outcome of respiration is the
release of energy through oxidation of simple food molecules such as glucose.
2. Why are valves present in heart and the veins?
Answer: Valves present in the heart does not allow the blood to flow backwards when the atria or ventricles contracts. Valves are
present in the veins to prevent the back flow of blood in the veins as it travels at very slow rate in the veins.
3. State the function of the epiglottis.
Answer: Epiglottis covers the opening of the wind pipe (the glottis) and prevents the entry of food into the wind pipe during
swallowing.
4.What is ascent of sap?
Answer: The upward movement of water along with the dissolved solutes up with the xylem is called ascent of sap.
5.What is root pressure?
Answer: The water enters the roots through the root hairs. It then travels through the root tissue to reach the root xylem.
Therefore, the xylem in the root has more water than the xylem column above it and this creates a positive pressure in the xylem
of the root. This is called the root pressure.
6.What are the two types of circulatory systems in a man?
Answer: The two types of circulatory systems are: Blood circulatory system and Lymphatic system
7.What are vascular plants?
Answer: The higher plants are also called the vascular plants as the transport in them is with the help of the vascular system.

Short answer Questions

1.Plants absorb water from the soil. Explain how does the water reach the tree top? [CBSE 2014]
Answer: There are two ways for the transport of water in plants:
(а) By root pressure: The cells of root in contact with soil actively take up ions which creates a difference in ion concentration
between the root and the soil. Water moves into the root from the soil to eliminate this difference, creating a column of water that
is steadily pushed upwards.
(b) By transpiration pull: Loss of water from stomata by transpiration gets replaced by the xylem vessels in the leaf which creates
a suction to pull water from the xylem cells of the roots. This strategy is used during day time and helps to transport water to the
highest points of the plant body.
2.Explain how deoxygenated blood travels from body to lung for purification. Draw well labelled diagram in support of
your answer. [CBSE 2011]
Answer: The deoxygenated blood from the various parts of the body is collected by the veins which transport the blood to the
heart through the vena cava. Vena cava pours the deoxygenated blood in the right atrium of the heart. The right atrium contracts
and the blood moves into the right ventricle. On contraction of the right ventricle the deoxygenated blood is transported to the
lungs through the pulmonary artery for purification.

3.Write short notes on Erythrocytes?


Answer. Erythrocytes are the red blood cells. They are biconcave discs with the edges being thicker than the centre. They are
enucleated and contain a pigment called the haemoglobin. The haemoglobin gives the characteristic red colour. They number 5
million per cubic mm in adult males and 4.5 million per cubic mm in adult females. They are synthesized in the bone marrow of
certain bones like the sternum. Each has a life span of about 120 days. After this, they are destroyed in the liver.
4. What are the functions of leucocytes?
Answer: The functions of leucocytes are:
Phagocytosis: The neutrophils and lymphocytes can engulf foreign bodies by the process called phagocytes.
Antibody Production: The leucocytes produce antibodies that attack the foreign bodies.
Anti- allergic Properties Eosinophil, a granulocyte thought to be anti- allergic.
5.What is circulatory system? Describe the circulatory system of humans.
Answer: The system that transports nutrients in the body and collects waste materials for disposal is the circulatory system.
Circulatory system of humans
Humans have a closed circulatory system. Blood pumped by the heart always flows through a closed network of blood vessels.
Human circulatory system consists of blood, a muscular, four-chambered heart and a network of closed, branching blood vessels −
veins, arteries and capillaries.
(i) Heart:In human beings, the heart is a muscular organ. It is divided into four chambers – right auricle, right ventricle, left
auricle, and left ventricle. The walls of these chambers are made up of a special muscle called myocardium, which contracts
continuously and rhythmically to distribute blood to all the body cells.

(ii) Blood:Blood is a red coloured connective tissue consisting of a fluid matrix, plasma, and consists of RBCs, WBCs and
platelets. Blood carries other substances around the body, inside arteries, veins and capillaries. These include gases (oxygen and
carbon dioxide), waste products (water and urea), hormones, enzymes and nutrients (glucose, amino acids, vitamins and minerals).
Blood flows through the circulatory system.

(iii) Blood vessels:Arteries are tough, elastic tubes that carry blood from the heart and supply it to various organs of the body. As
the arteries move away from the heart (i.e., on reaching organs and tissues), they divide into smaller vessels. The smallest vessels
called capillaries have very thin walls. Arteries are red in colour because they carry oxygenated blood.
Capillaries (in organs and tissues) join together to form veins. Veins collect blood from different organs and tissues. Veins are
thin-walled as compared to arteries. This is because they bring back blood from the organs to the heart and blood is no longer
under pressure. These veins carry deoxygenated blood into the heart.
