Question: 1
Write down symptoms in plants caused by deficiency of phosphorus and potassium.
Answer: 1
1-34
Deficiency of phosphorus in the soil stunted growth of the roots of plants.
Potassium deficiency in soil leaf margin yellow and premature death of the plant.

Differentiate between Nutrition and Nutrient.
Answer: 2
2-34
Nutrition : Some of all process involved in the taking an utilization of elements by which growth,repair and maintenance of activities in the organisms are accomplished is called Nutrition.
Question: 3
What is chlorosis?What is it cause?
Answer: 3
3-34
Magnesium and Nitrogen deficiency also cause chlorosis in plants particularly in the leaves because these elements are important part of chlorophyll without them chlorophyll reduced and chlorosis occurs.

How sun dew show its insectivorous activity?
Answer: 4
4-34
  1. Multicellular reducer are called fungi,which are heterotrophic ,with different species is called parasite nutrition,The organisms which feed on the living host is called parasite,For example Puccinia is parasite fungus that destroys the wheat plants,Dodder is also leafless angiospermic plant that lives on the other plants and gets its nutrition from the host plants

Answer: 5
5-34
Feeding on dead and decaying matter such as dead leaves in the soil or rotting tree trunk is called saprophytic nutrition and derives its nutrients from host plants.

What are insectivorous plants?How they get their carbohydrates?
Answer: 6
6-34
These are the plants which capture the insects and digest them to full fill their sulphur and nitrogen deficiencies are called insectivorous plants.They are autotrophic they do photosynthesis to ful fill their carbohydrate requirements.
Question: 7
Write down the effect of nitrogen and potassium deficiency on plants.
Answer: 7
7-34
Nitrogen deficiency in the soil result in the stunted growth of plant and chlorosis particularly in the leaves.Magnesium deficiency also cause chlorosis in plants.
Question: 8
Define symbiotic nutrition with example.
Answer: 8
8-34
It is an association between two organisms in which both the organisms get their nutrition from each other.E.g mycorrhiza ,Lichens etc.
Lichens: They are mutualistic symbiotic association between certain fungi and certain photo-autotrophs algae,Fungus protects the algae partner from stronge light and desiccation and it get food from algae,While algae prepare food for the fungi as well as for itself.
Question: 9
Define the term heterotrophic.
Answer: 9
9-34
Mode of nutrition in which organisms can not prepare its food but gem from other organisms.

What are detritivores?
Answer: 10
10-34
The animals which feed on detritus(organic matter or debris of plants and animals) are called detritivores.

Question: 11
What are ungulates?Give their two examples.
Answer: 11
11-34
Ungulates like horse,cow,goat,camel,zebra etc.These mammals walk on the tips of toes.Toes are modifies into hooves

Differentiate between detritivores and omnivores.
Answer: 12
12-34
Detritivores: The animals which feed on detritus(organic matter or debris of plants and animals) are called detritivores.
Earthworms is most common example of detritivores.It ingests pieces of decaying organic matter especially vegetative either at the soil surface or during the burrowing activity.
Question: 13
What is macrophagous feedings?
Answer: 13
13-34
The animals which feed in large food particles or pieces are macrophagous feeders.in include
Tentacular feeding for example as in hydra.

Scraping :it is a type of feeding in which large food particles is cut down into smaller food particles.In snail the rasping tongue is used for cutting the large leaves into smaller leaves.The radula moves over the leaves which are hold by the lips of the snails.The smaller pieces are then pushed back towards the pharynx
Question: 14
Define microphagous feeding with example.
Answer: 14
14-34
The animals which feed on large food particles or pieces are macrophagous feeders.In includes.
Tentacular feeding for example as in hydra.
Scraping :it is a type of feeding in which large food particles is cut down into smaller food particles.In snail the rasping tongue is used for cutting the large leaves into smaller leaves.The radula moves over the leaves which are hold by the lips of the snails.The smaller pieces are then pushed back towards the pharynx.
Question: 15
Mention different mode of nutrition in animals.
Answer: 15
15-34
Following are the animal mode of nutrition.
  • Parasitic
  • Fluid feeders
  • Herbivores
  • Omnivores
  • Carnivores
  • Detritivores
  • Filter feeders.
Question: 16
What is holozoic nutrition?
Answer: 16
16-34
Mode of animals nutrition is called holozoic nutrition.In this method food is ingested into oral cavity and then digestion takes place intracellularly or inside the digestive system.
Question: 17
What is radula?
Answer: 17
17-34
Garden snail feeds by using rasping organ,the radula.Leaves are held by the lips of the snail.The radula moves back and forth over the leaves and its teeth scrape the food.
Question: 18
Differentiate between Absorption and assimilation.
Answer: 18
18-34
Absorption : The uptake of the diffusible food molecule from the digestive region across the membrane in to the cell or into the blood stream.
Question: 19
What do you know about fluid feeders?
Answer: 19
19-34
The animals which feed upon liquid or suck the fluid materials are called fluid feeders.
Examples are mosquito and aphids.Aphids suck the juice or nectar from the plants by the help of its long stylet.Mosquitoes suck the blood by inserting the mouth part into site of blood capillaries.
Question: 20
What is meant by fluid and macrophagous feeders with examples?
Answer: 20
20-34
When food is ingested in liquid from the animals are classed as fluid feeders,Aphids and mosquitoes are the example.
Animals which take in food in the form of large pieces are microphagous feeders.
Question: 21

Write a note on peristalsis.
Answer: 29
29-34
It is a special type of movement by which food moves along the alimentary canal.It consists of alternate contraction of circular and longitudinal muscles followed by the wave of relaxation which squeeze the food down along the alimentary canal.

What is Saliva? Give its composition.
Answer: 30
30-34
Saliva is secreted by pairs of salivary glands.
Composition : Saliva contains three important ingredients.
Water and mucous,Sodium bicarbonate and some salts,Amylase or ptyalin.
Question: 31
What is gastrovascular cavity in coelenterates?
Answer: 31
31-34

Question: 32
Name ingredients of salvia.
Answer: 32
32-34
  1. Water and mucous
  2. Sodium carbonate
  3. Salivary amylase breaks down starch into maltose
Question: 33
What is the role of crop and gizzard in cockroach?
Answer: 33
33-34
Crop stores partly digested fodd.Food leaves the croup chunk by chunk and enters in gizzard.
Gizzard cause grinding of food and food in transported to midgut.
Question: 34
Define peristalsis and antiperistalsis.
Answer: 34
34-34
Peristalsis : It consists of wave of contraction of the circular and longitudinal muscle of digestive tract processed by the wave of relaxation thus squeezing the food down along the canal.
