Question 31. The floor of the chest cavity has a thick muscular partition known as the diaphragm.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

  • The floor of the chest cavity has a thick muscular partition known as the diaphragm. It separates the abdominal cavity and the thoracic cavity.

  • It performs a significant function in respiration. It moves up and down during inhalation and exhalation.

  • Lowering of the diaphragm causes a decrease in the pressure on lungs. Due to which, air moves into the lungs through nose.

  • When diaphragm rises up, pressure on the lungs increases. Due to which, air moves out.

Question 32. Cells breakdown ________ using oxygen, to produce water, carbon dioxide and energy.
  1.    proteins
  2.    fats
  3.    amino acids
  4.    glucose
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> glucose
:
D
Cells breakdown glucose to produce water and carbon dioxide. Energy is released in the form of ATP. This process is called cellular respiration. When this process happens in the presence of oxygen, it is called aerobic respiration and when it happens in the absence of oxygen, it is called anaerobic respiration.
It can be summarised as:
C6H12O6+6O26CO2+6H2O+38ATP
Question 33. The accumulation of lactic acid in muscle cells causes ______.
  1.    cramps 
  2.    heart blockage  
  3.    boils 
  4.    stroke 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> cramps 
:
A
Lactic acid is a byproduct of anaerobic respiration of glucose. During heavy exercises or prolonged physical activity, there is a deficit of oxygen required to enableall the muscle cells to generate energy aerobically. Muscle cells then respireanaerobically andproduces lactic acid. Accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles causes cramps.
Question 34. Frogs breathe through their ________ under water.
  1.    gills
  2.    skin
  3.    trachea
  4.    lungs
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> skin
:
B
Amphibians like frogs breathe through their skin when they are submerged in water. This is called cutaneous respiration. In the land, they breathe through their lungs.
Gills are present in fishes.
Trachea is the site of gaseous exchange in insects.
All mammals have lungs to breathe.
Question 35. A cockroach has small openings on the sides of its body called _______.
  1.    ribs
  2.    spiracles  
  3.    pharynx
  4.    diaphragm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> spiracles  
:
B
Cockroach has small openings on the sides of its body called spiracles. Oxygen rich air rushes through the spiracles into the tracheal tubes. It then diffuses into the body tissue and reaches all the cells of the body. Carbon dioxide from the cells goes into the tracheal tubes and ultimately moves out through the spiracles.

Question 37. What does glucose break down into in the presence and absence of oxygen? [2 MARKS]
 
 Discuss Question

:
Presence of oxygen: 1 Mark
Absence of oxygen: 1 Mark
In the presence of oxygen, glucose breaks downinto carbon dioxide andwater with the release ofenergy.
In the absence of oxygen, glucose breaks down into alcohol andcarbon dioxidewith the release of energy.
Question 38. Answer the following: [3 MARKS]
(1) When does a person need artificial respiration?
(2) From where can a person get the supply of oxygen for artificial respiration?
(3) Is artificial respiration needed temporarily or permanently?
 
 Discuss Question

:
Answers: 1 Mark each
(1)During emergency conditions (e.g. Lung failure) when lungs don't work properly, artificial respiration is required.
(2)The victim gets the oxygen through ventilators which act as artificial lungs.
(3)The person is kept on artificial respiration temporarily, until heregains his health and starts breathing naturally.
Question 39. List the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Give the chemical equations for both. [5 MARKS]

Question 40. What is the function of ribs in respiration? [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Functions: 1 Mark each
1. Diaphragm and ribs help in breathing activity.
2. During inhalation, ribs move up and diaphragm moves down to increase the chest cavity space.Lungs get filled with air.
3. During exhalation, ribs move down and diaphragm moves up to its former position. Thisreduceschest cavity space and air is pushed out.
