Short Answer Questions


Question 1:How does a frog catch its prey?
ANSWER:A frog catches its prey using its long and sticky tongue.
Question 2:How does a spider digest its food?

ANSWER:Organs that make up the human alimentary canal are mouth, pharynx, oesophagus,
stomach, small intestine, large intestine rectum and anus.

Permanent teeth:
1.Permanent teeth are 32 in number.
2. Permanent teeth fall in old age.
Question 5:What is saliva and where is it produced?
ANSWER:Saliva is the watery and slippery secretion produced inside the mouth.
Question 6:What is the function of taste buds?
ANSWER:The function of taste buds is to detect the various tastes like sweetness, saltiness,
sourness and bitterness of food.
Question 7:How long does food stay in the stomach?
ANSWER:Food can stay in the stomach from a few minutes to a few hours, depending on its
type. Solid food stays in the stomach for 4-5 hours, but liquid food remains only for a few
minutes.
Question 8:How does the presence of acid in the stomach help?
ANSWER:The acid in the stomach helps in digesting proteins. It also kills the bacteria that enter
the stomach through food.

Long Answer Qestions


Question 1:List and explain in one sentence each, the various process involved in
nutrition in animals.
ANSWER:The various process involved in obtaining nutrition in animals are as follows:-
1) Ingestion- The process of taking food inside our mouth is known as ingestion.
2) Digestion- The process of breaking down food into molecules is known as digestion.
3) Absorption- The process of absorbing the digested food through the villi of small intestine is
known as absorption.
4) Assimilation- The process of producing energy from the absorbed food is known as
assimilation.
5) Egestion- The process of removing the wastes from our body through the anus is known as
egestion.
Question 2:Explain through diagrams ingestion of food in
(a) Amoeba (b) Hydra
ANSWER:(a) Ingestion of food in Amoeba:

(b) Ingestion of food in Hydra:

Question 3:Name the four types of teeth in your mouth. What are their functions?
ANSWER:The four types of teeth in our mouth are:
1) Incisors- They help us in biting and cutting the food.
2) Canines- They help us in piercing and tearing the pieces of meat.
3) Premolars- They assist the molars by holding the food with their cusps and also crushing
them.
4) Molars- They help us in chewing and grinding the food so that it can be swallowed easily.
Question 4:What is peristalsis? Explain with the help of a diagram.
ANSWER:Peristalsis can be defined as the wave like action of the muscles of the organs
present in the alimentary canal to push the food forward or downward.

Question 5:What is the function of


(a) saliva
(b) bile juice
(c) pancreatic juice
ANSWER:(a) Saliva- It helps in breaking down the starch, present in food, into sugar. It also
makes the food wet and slippery, thereby making it easier to swallow.
(b) Bile juice- It is secreted by the liver and helps in breaking down the fats, present in the food,
into fatty acid and glycerol.
(c) Pancreatic juice- It is secreted by the pancreas and helps in converting starch into sugar and
proteins into amino acids.
Question 6:What happens to food in the
(a) stomach
(b) small intestine
ANSWER:(a) Stomach secretes acid and digestive juices that kill the bacteria, if any, present in
the food. Further, the digestive juices break the proteins, present in the food, into simpler
substances, thereby digesting the food partially.
(b) Small intestine also secretes some digestive juices, and also receives the bile juice secreted
by the liver and the pancreatic juice secreted by the pancreas. The bile juice along with the
digestive juice converts the fats into fatty acids and glycerol. The pancreatic juice breaks down
the starch into sugar, and proteins into amino acid.
Question 7:Explain how digested food is absorbed into the blood.
ANSWER:The digested food is absorbed inside the small intestine which have finger like
projections called villi in its inner wall. These villi comprise networks of fine blood capillaries
close to their surface. The food from the villi passes into these capillaries thereby getting
absorbed into the blood.
Question 8:Briefly explain the process of digestion in ruminants.
ANSWER:The stomach of a ruminant is divided into four chambers. As soon as the ruminant
swallows the food, it enters the first chamber called rumen where it gets partially digested
(converted to cud). From here, the food enters the second chamber from where it again reaches
the mouth for rumination, which is thorough chewing. The food is again swallowed, and now it
enters the third and the fourth chamber for digestion. From here, it enters the small intestine for
the absorption of nutrients.
