Cct Questions:

1. Our body needs to remove the wastes that build up from cell activities and from digestion. If these wastes are not removed, then our cells can stop working and we can get very sick. The organs of excretory system consist of a pair of kidneys, a pair of ureters, a urinary bladder and a urethra. Each kidney is made up of nearly one million complex tubular structures called nephrons. The formation of urine involves various processes that take place in the different parts of the nephrons. Each nephron consists of a cup- shaped upper end called Bowman’s capsule containing a bunch of capillaries called glomerulus. Bowman’s capsule leads to tubular structure, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle and distal convoluted tubule which ultimately join the collecting tubule.

Question. The following substances are the excretory products in animals. Choose the least toxic form.
A. Urea
B. Uric acid
C. Ammonia
D. All of these
Answer : A

Question. Glomerular filtrate is first collected by
A. Distal convoluted tubule
B. proximal convoluted tubule
C. Bowman’s capsule space
D. loop of Henle
Answer : C

II) The bladder fills with urine and become distended.
III) Micturition (voiding out urine)
IV) CNS passes on motor messages to initiate the contraction of smooth muscles of bladder and simultaneous relaxation of urethral sphincter.
The correct sequence of the events is
A. I → II → III→ IV
B. IV → III → II→ I
C. II → I→ IV → III
D. III → II→ I→ IV
Answer : C

Question. Urine formation occurs through

Important Questions for NCERT Class 10 Science Life Processes

Very-Short-Answer Questions

Question. Name the respiratory pigments of human beings.
Answer : Haemoglobin

Question. In which form is food stored in plants and in animals?
Answer : Starch in plants and glycogen in animals

Question. Why are heterotrophs called consumers?

Question. Name the structure which prevents food from entering the passage to the lungs.
Answer : Epiglottis

Question. Why and how does water enter continuously into the root xylem of plants?
Answer : Xylem transports water and minerals to the plant body. The roots of a plant have hair called root hairs. The root hairs are directly in contact with the film of water in between the soil particles. Water and minerals get into the root hair by the process of diffusion. The water and minerals absorbed by the root hair form the soil pass from cell to cell by osmosis through the epidermis root cortex, endodermis and reaches the root xylem. The xylem vessels of the root the plant are connected to the xylem vessels into stem.
Therefore, the water containing dissolved minerals enter the root xylem vessels into stem xylem vessels.
T he xylem vessels of the stem branch into thleaves of the e leaves of the plants. So the water & minerals carried by the xylem vessels in the stem reach the leaves through the branched xylem vessels which enter from the petiole into the each part of the leaf. Thus the water and minerals form the soil reach through the root and stem to the leaves of the plants.
Evaporation of water molecules from the cells of a leaf creates a suction which pulls water form the xylem cells of roots. The loss of water in the form of vapour from the aerial parts of the plants is known as transpiration.
 
Question. What is the role of following in human digestive system –

c) Trypsin – It digest proteins into amino acids.
 
Question. (a)What is translocation? Why is it essential for plants?
(b)Where do the substances in plants reach as a result of translocation?
Answer : (a)Translocation is the process of movement of materials from leaves to all other parts of the plant body.

Question. How is small intestine deigned to absorb digested
Answer :The inner lining of small intestine has numerous finger-like projections called villi which increase the surface area for absorption. The villi are richly supplied with blood vessels which transport the absorbed food to each and every cells of the body. Where, it is utilized to obtaining energy and repair of old tissues.
 
Question. What advantage over an aquatic organism does a terrestrial organism have with regard to obtaining oxygen for respiration?

Question. What are the components of transport system in highly organized plants?
Answer : The transport system of higher plants consists of xylem and phloem. Xylems have vessels and trachieds to transport water and minerals from root to other part of the plants. Phloem, which consists of sieve tubes and companion cells, transport food from leaves to storage organs and other parts of plant. 
 
Question. How are water and minerals transported in plants?
Answer : Water and minerals are transported in plants through xylem which consists of trachieds and vessels.
Water and minerals absorbed by root hairs present in root by osmosis is passed to xylem tissues of root.
From root xylem it passes to stem xylem and thus water reaches to leaves.

(d)Both (a) and (b)
Answer : Correct option (d)
 
Question. How is food transported in plants?
Answer : Food is transported in plants through phloem which consists of sieve tubes, sieve cells and companion cells. The food prepared in leaves in soluble form transported to leaves phloem. Active transport of food passes to all other parts of plants.
 
Question. In birds and mammals the left and right side of the heart is separated. Give reasons.
Answer : The separation keeps oxygenated and deoxygenated blood from mixing allowing a highly efficient supply of oxygen to the body. This is useful in animals that have high energy needs which constantly use energy to maintain their body temperature.
 
Question. What are the methods used by plants to get rid of excretory products?
Answer : (i) Plant produces carbon dioxide as wastes during respiration and oxygen as waste during photosynthesis.
(ii) Excess of water is removed through transpiration.
(iii) Some waste products like gums and resins are stored in older xylem tissue.
 
Question. List two types of the transport system in human being and write the functions of any one of these.
Answer : (i)Blood circulatory system (ii)Lymphatic system
Function of blood circulatory
(i)Transport of oxygen (ii)Transport of digested food (iii)Transport of carbon dioxide
(iv)Transport of nitrogenous waste (v)Transport of salts
Functions of lymphatic system
(i)Carries digested and absorbed fat.
(ii)Drains extra fluid from tissue back into the blood.
 
Question. How is amount of urine produced regulated?
Answer : The amount of urine depends on how much excess of water is in the body and how much a water soluble waste is to be excreted. If the amount of water and dissolved wastes in boy are more than amount of urine will be more and if amount of wastes is less the amount of urine produced will be less.
