Saliva breaks down starch into simple sugars.


  1.     True
  2.     False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

Digestive juices convert complex substances in food into simpler ones. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase which is capable of breaking down starch into simpler sugars such as maltose.


Question 82.


Digestive juices convert complex food substances into simpler ones.


  1.     True
  2.     False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
  Salivary glands, liver and pancreas secrete digestive juices which convert complex substances of food into simpler ones.
  For example, saliva contains the enzyme amylase, which is capable of breaking down starch into simpler sugars.
  The digestive juices also turns food into smooth porridge called called chyme.
Question 83.


The first set of teeth that lasts for about six years of age is called _____ .


  1.     milk teeth
  2.     permanent teeth
  3.     molar teeth
  4.     canines 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> milk teeth
:
A

Milk teeth or deciduous teeth are the first set of teeth that grow in the growth and development stage of human beings. They are usually lost or broken and replaced by the permanent teeth.


Question 84.


Which of the following glands secrete digestive juices?


  1.     Salivary glands
  2.     Liver
  3.     Pancreas
  4.     Lungs
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Salivary glands
:
A, B, and C
Salivary glands, liver and pancreas secrete digestive juices that help in breakdown of complex food substances into simpler ones. For example, the liver has multiple functions, but its main function within the digestive system is to process the nutrients absorbed from the small intestine. Bile secreted from liver into the small intestine also plays an important role in digesting fats.

 


Question 85.


The digested food from mouth is received by hollow muscular tube called _____ .


  1.     small intestine
  2.     oesophagus
  3.     large intestine
  4.     pharynx
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> oesophagus
:
B

The process of taking in food is called ingestion. After ingestion, the food is chewed and broken down in the mouth. This food then passes through a hollow muscular tube-like structure called the oesophagus. Oesophagus shows rhythmic contraction and relaxation called peristalsis which helps to push the food (bolus) in forward direction towards the stomach.


Question 86.


The mode of nutrition in human beings is _____________.


  1.     autotrophic
  2.     heterotrophic
  3.     saprophyte
  4.     parasite
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> heterotrophic
:
B

The mode of nutrition in human beings is hetrotrophic. An organism that cannot manufacture its own food and instead obtains its food and energy by taking in organic substances, usually plant or animal matter are called heterotrophs. All animals, protozoans, fungi, and most bacteria are hetrotrophs.


Question 87.


How does a python take in food?


  1.     Swallowing
  2.     Sucking
  3.     Filtering
  4.     Siphoning
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Swallowing
:
A
A python captures and swallows it's prey directly without chewing it. The food is then digested in the stomach.
Question 88.


The process of taking food in through the mouth is called __________.


  1.     digestion
  2.     chewing
  3.     ingestion
  4.     egestion
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> ingestion
:
C
Ingestion is a process where food is taken in through the mouth and broken down by teeth and saliva. Ingestion is the first step in the process of digestion.
Question 89.


The process of taking in food and breaking it down to obtain the essential nutrients is called _________ .


  1.     digestion
  2.     nutrition  
  3.     respiration
  4.     expiration
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> nutrition  
:
B

Nutrition is the process of taking in food and utilising it in the body to generate energy. Nutrition is important for growth, maintenance, reproduction and other important body functions.

  2.     Licking
  3.     Filtering
  4.     Biting
