Q 1 :    

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

Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to turn sunlight, carbon dioxide (CO) and water into food (sugars) and oxygen. There are two types of photosynthetic processes: oxygenic photosynthesis and anoxygenic photosynthesis. They both follow very similar principles, but oxygenic photosynthesis is the most common and is seen in plants, algae and cyanobacteria.

Q 6 :    

Refer the passage given below and answer the following questions from (i) to (v).

In a nutshell, digestion involves breaking down large food molecules into water-soluble molecules that can be passed into the blood and transported to the body’s organs. For instance, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, proteins into amino acids, and fats into fatty acids and glycerol. The digestive system involves “hollow” organs and “solid” organs. Food travels through the hollow organs — mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. The solid organs — pancreas, liver, and gallbladder — add various products into the mix. Aside from the solid and hollow organs, the nervous and circulatory systems are also important in digestion, as are the bacteria that live in the gut.

 

(i) The given picture shows a part of :

  • human digestive system

     

  • mouse digestive system

     

  • human respiratory system

     

  • mouse alimentary canal
