Questions . The organisms A, B and C can obtain their food in three different ways. Organism A derives its food from the body of another living organism which is called its D, without killing it. The organism B takes in the solid food by the process of ingestion, digests a part of this food and throws out undigested food in the process called E. The organism C obtains its food from dead and decaying plants.

(a) What is the mode of nutrition of (i) organism A (ii) organism B, and (iii) organism C ?
Answer : (i) Parasitic (ii) Holozoic (iii) Saprophytic

(b) What is the organism like D called ?
Answer : Host

(c) Name the process E.
Answer : Egestion

(d) Give one example each of organisms like (i) A (ii) B, and (ii) C.
Answer : (i) Tapeworm (ii) Man (iii) Mushroom

(e) What is the general name of three modes of nutrition exhibited by organisms A, B and C ?
Answer : Heterotrophic nutrition

Questions . 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.

(a) What is (i) organism A (ii) food B, and (iii) food H ?
Answer : (i) Green plant (ii) Glucose (iii) Starch

(b) What are C and D ?
Answer : Carbon dioxide and Water

(c) Name (i) green coloured substance E, and (ii) organ F.
Answer : (i) Chlorophyll (ii) Green leaf

(d) What is the process G ?
Answer : Photosynthesis

Questions . X is a wild animal which eats only the flesh of other animals whereas Y is a domestic animal which feeds mainly on green grass.

(a) What are animals like X known as ?
Answer : Carnivores

(b) What are animals like Y known as ?
Answer : Herbivores

(c) Which animal, X or Y, has a longer small intestine ? Why ?
Answer : Animal Y has a longer small intestine. The animal Y is a herbivore which eats grass (and other green plants). The grass contains a carbohydrate called cellulose which is digested with difficulty. A longer small intestine allows the cellulose present in grass to be digested completely.

(d) Name one animal which is like X.
