Digestion is a catabolic process in which
complex and large components of food are
broken down into their respective simpler
and smaller forms with the help of various
hydrolytic enzymes. In human beings, the
process of intake of essential nutrients in
the form of food takes place through an
entire system in human includes alimentary
canal and its associated digestive glands.
The alimentary canal is a muscular coiled
tubular structure about 9 m in length that
begins from mouth and ends whit anus.
The various organs of the human digestive
system in sequence are: Mouth, Oesophagus
(or Food pipe), Stomach, Small intestine
and Large intestine. The glands which
are associated with the human digestive
system and form a part of the human

They create by-products that art not only
useless for the cells of the body, but could
even be harmful. These waste by-products
are therefore needed to be removed from
the body and discarded outside by a
process called excretion. Again, if the basic
rules for body design in multi-cellular
organisms are followed, a specialised tissue

Arteries are the vessels which carry blood
away from the heart to various organs of
the body. Since the blood emerges from
the heart under high pressure, the arteries
have thick, elastic walls. Veins collect the
blood from different organs and bring it
back to the heart. They do not need thick
walls because the blood is no longer under
pressure, instead they have valves that
ensure that the blood flows only in one
direction.
On reaching an organ or tissue, the artery
divides into smaller and smaller vessels
to bring the blood in contact with all the
individual cells. The smallest vessels have
walls which are one-cell thick and are called
capillaries. Exchange of material between
the blood and surrounding cells takes place
across this thin wall. The capillaries then
join together to form veins that convey the
blood away from the organ or tissue.

660.What is importance of thin walls of blood
capillaries?
(a) Thin walls of blood capillaries provide
them protection.
(b) Exchange of materials between the
blood and surrounding cells take
place across the thin walls of blood
capillaries.

veins.

valves.

of blood.

capacity of the blood.

shocks.

pressure of blood and they are thich
walled vessels.
(b) Arteries have high blood pressure and
they have elastic and thick walls to
withstand this high pressure.

This transport of soluble products of
photosynthesis is called translocation and
it occurs in the part of the vascular tissue
known as phloem. Besides the products
of photo-synthesis, the phloem transports
amino acids and other substances. These
substances are especially delivered to the
storage organs of roots, fruits and seeds
and to growing organs. The translocation
of food and other substances takes place in
the sieve tubes with the help of adjacent
companion cells both in upward and
downward directions. Unlike transport in
xylem which can be largely explained by
simple physical forces, the translocation
in phloem is achieved by utilising energy,
Material like sucrose is transferred into
phloem tissue using energy from ATP. This
increases the osmotic pressure of the tissue
causing water to move into it. This pressure
moves the material in the phloem to tissues
which have less pressure. This allows the
phloem to move material according to the
plant’s needs. For example, in the spring,
sugar stored in root or stem tissue would
be transported to the buds which need
energy to grow.

The small intestine is the site of the complete
digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and
fats. It receives the secretions of the liver
and pancreas for this purpose. The food
coming from the stomach is acidic and
has to be made alkaline for the pancreatic
enzymes to act. Bile juice from the liver
accomplishes this in addition to acting on
fats. Fats are present in the intestine in
the form of large globules which makes it
difficult for enzymes to act on them. Bile
salts break them down into smaller globules
increasing the efficiency of enzyme action.
The pancreas secretes pancreatic juice
which contains enzymes like trypsin for
digesting proteins and lipase for breaking
down emulsified fats. The walls of the small
intestine contain glands which secrete
intestinal juice. The enzymes present in it
finally convert the proteins to amino acids,
complex carbohydrates into glucose and
fats into fatty acids and glycerol.

The food material taken in during the
process of nutrition is used in cells to provide
energy for various life processes. Diverse
organisms do this in different ways - some
use oxygen to break-down the food material
completely, some use other pathways that
do not involve oxygen. In all cases, the first
step is the break-down of food material and
it takes place in the cytoplasm. Further,
the product of breakdown food may be
converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide.
Breakdown of food product using oxygen
takes place in the mitochondria. Sometime
food product is converted into lactic acid
which is also a three-carbon molecule.

Carbon and energy requirements of the
autotrophic organism are fulfilled by
photosynthesis. It is the process by which
autotrophs take in substances from the
outside and convert them into stored
forms of energy. This material is taken
in the form of carbon dioxide and water
which is converted into carbohydrates in
the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.
Carbohydrates are utilised for providing
energy to the plant. The carbohydrates
which are not used immediately are stored
in the form of starch, which serves as the
internal energy reserve to be used as and
when required by the plant. A somewhat
similar situation is seen in us where some of
the energy derived from the food we eat is
stored in our body in the form of glycogen.
That means the complex substances have
to be broken down into simpler ones before
they can be used for the upkeep and growth
of the body. To achieve this, organisms use
biocatalysis.

Direction For Questions (46-50)
This transport of soluble products of
photosynthesis is called translocation and
it occurs in the part of the vascular tissue
known as phloem. Besides the products
of photo-synthesis, the phloem transports
amino acids and other substances. These
substances are especially delivered to the
storage organs of roots, fruits and seeds
and to growing organs. The translocation
of food and other substances takes place in
the sieve tubes with the help of adjacent
companion cells both in upward and
downward directions. Unlike transport in
xylem which can be largely explained by
simple physical forces, the translocation
in phloem is achieved by utilising energy,
Material like sucrose is transferred into
phloem tissue using energy from ATP. This
increases the osmotic pressure of the tissue
causing water to move into it. This pressure
moves the material in the phloem to tissues
which have less pressure. This allows the
phloem to move material according to the
plant’s needs. For example, in the spring,
sugar stored in root or stem tissue would
be transported to the buds which need
energy to grow.

1082.. A student sets up an experiment to study the importance of nutrition in plants. The student  takes 2 pots, pot 1 and pot 2 each with the same healthy plant. Both the pots were placed in  the garden and watered properly. Pot 1 was kept as such, while pot 2 was kept in an air tight  glass box with caustic soda.

What is the likely reason for this observation?
(a) Absence of oxygen for survival
(b) Absorption of light by caustic soda restricting growth

1084.A student sets up an experiment to study the photosynthesis in plants. Tstudent destarched
a potted plant by keeping it in a dark room for 3 days. Half of the portion of destarched leaf
was placed in a bottle containing caustic potash (absorbs CO2) as shown.
The student then places the plant in light
and tests the leaf after 5 hours for the
presence of starch. The portions inside
the bottle shows negative starch test by
reflecting no change in colour when react
with iodine, however, other upper portions
of the leaf gave positive starch test showing
blue-black colour with iodine. What can be
evaluated from this experiment?
(a) Lack of carbon dioxide increases amount
of starch in plant.
(b) Carbon dioxide is necessary for preparing carbohydrate.
(c) Carbon dioxide is directly linked with the colour of leaf.
(d) Lack of carbon dioxide slows the process of photosynthesis.

1085. The image shows the bread moulds on a bread.
How these fungi obtain nutrition?
(a) By using nutrients from the bread to prepare their own
food.
(b) By allowing other organisms to grow on the bread and
then consuming them.
(c) By breaking down the nutrients of bread and then
absorbing them.
(d) By eating the bread on which it is growing.

1086.. The image shows how Amoeba obtains nutrition.Food particle Nucleus Food  particle Food vacuole Pseudopodia
