A unicellular animal P having no fixed shape ingests a food particle by forming temporary finger-like projections Q. The food particle is engulfed with a little surrounding water to form a temporary stomach R inside it. The chemicals S from surrounding cytoplasm enter into R and break down food into small and soluble molecules by chemical reactions. The digested food is absorbed directly into cytoplasm by the process T. The undigested food is thrown out of the body by the rupture of a cell organelle U in a process called V.(a) Name the unicellular animal P.(b) What are (i) Q, and (ii) R?(c) Name (i) chemical S, and (ii) process T.(d) Name (i) organelle U, and (ii) process V.
(a) The unicellular animal P is Amoeba.
(b) (i) Q is pseudopodia.
(ii) R is food vacuole.
(c) (i) Chemical S is the digestive enzyme.
(ii) process T is diffusion.
(d) (i) Organelle U is cell membrane.
(ii) process V is egestion.

- There is a pair of bean-shaped organs P in the human body towards the back, just above the waist. A waste product Q formed by the decomposition of unused proteins in the liver is brought into organ P through blood by an artery R. The numerous tiny filters S present in organs P clean the dirty blood by removing the waste product Q. The clean blood goes into circulation through a vein T. The waste substance Q, other waste salts, and excess water form a yellowish liquid U which goes from organ P into a bag-like structure V through two tubes W. This liquid is then thrown out the body through a tube X.(a) What is (i) organ P, and (ii) waste substance Q?(b) Name (i) artery R, and (ii) vein T.(c) What are tiny filters S known as ?(d) Name (i) liquid U (ii) structure V (iii) tubes W, and (iv) tube X.

- An organism A which cannot move from one place to another, makes a simple food B from the substances C and D available in the environment. This food is made in the presence of a green coloured substance E present in organs F in the presence of light energy in a process called G. Some of the simple food B also gets converted into a complex food H for storage purposes. The food H gives a blue-black colour with dilute iodine solution.

- The process of digestion of food is humans begins in:(a) stomach (b) food pipe (c) mouth (d) small intestine
- The partially digested food coming from the stomach of a person enters a long and narrow organ A in his body. The organ A receives the secretions of two glands : liver and pancreas. Liver secretes a greenish yellow liquid B which is normally stored in the organ C. Pancreas secretes pancreatic juice which contains three digestive enzymes D, E and F. The intestinal juice completes the process of digestion of food. The inner wall of organ A has millions of tiny finger-like projections G which help in the rapid absorption of digested food into blood stream. The undigested part of food then passes into wider tube H which absorbs most of the water form undigested food. The last part of tube H called I stores this undigested food (or waste) foe some time. The indigested food is then passed out through opening J as faeces in the process known as K.(a) Name the organ A.(b) Name (i) liquid B, and (iii) organ C.(c) What are the digestive enzymes D, E and F?(d) Name the projections G present on the inner wall of organ A.(e) Name (i) tube H (ii) part I (iii) opening J, and (iv) process K.
