Q 11 :    

Read the passage given below carefully and answer any the following questions from (i) to (v).

Transportation is a vital process in plants. Trees transport all the nutrients and water it needs for survival from its roots to the tips of the leaves. In the case of transportation in plants, the biggest constraint is water as it ends up being a limiting factor in growth. To overcome this problem, trees and other plants have the perfect system for the absorption and translocation of water. Plants contain a vast network of conduits which consist of xylem and phloem. This is more like the circulatory system that transports blood throughout the human body. Similar to the circulatory system in humans, the xylem and phloem tissues extend throughout the plant. These conducting tissues originate from the roots and move up through the trunks of trees. Later they branch off into the branches and then branching even further into every leaf, like spider webs.

 

(i) Plant transport systems transports:

  • raw materials from roots

     

  • synthesized glucose to leaves

     

  • raw materials to roots

     

  • water from leaves

The graph below shows the percent of undigested carbohydrates, proteins and fats as the food passes through the human digestive tract. X axis represents sequential structure that makes up the digestive tract.

 

(v) Bile juice does not contain any enzyme but bile salts are important for digestion and absorption of fats. Why?

  • Bile is alkaline and contains salts which help to emulsify or break the fats (or lipids) present in the food.

     

  • Makes the acidic food coming from the stomach alkaline so that pancreatic enzymes can act on it

     

  • Bile salts break the fats present in the food into small globules making it easy for the enzymes to act and digest them.

     

  • All of the above
