Question 71.


 What is transpiration? How does it occur and how is it helpful for the plants? [3 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Each point: 1 Mark
Transpiration is the process of loss of water as water vapour from the aerial parts of the plant.
Plants absorb minerals, nutrients, and water from the soil. All the water is not utilized by the plant. The excess water gets evaporated through the stomata present on the surface of the leaves by the process of transpiration.
This process also helps in cooling of the plants.


Question 72.


When is haemodialysis required? How is it done?  [3 MARKS]
 


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:
Requirement: 1 Mark
Process: 2 Marks
Haemodialysis is required to treat kidney failure.
In hemodialysis, blood is passed through multiple tubes made up of a semipermeable membrane. During this passage, the waste products from the blood pass into the dialyzing fluid by diffusion and the purified blood is pumped back into the body.
 
 
Question 73.

Question 74.


Where is the heart located? How many chambers are present in the heart? Name them. Explain the two types of blood circulation?  [5 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Location: 1 Mark
Chambers: 2 Marks
Blood circulation: 2 Marks
The heart is located in the chest cavity with its lower tip slightly tilted towards the left.
It has four chambers. The two upper chambers are called atria and the two lower chambers are called the ventricles. 
The two types of blood circulation are pulmonary and the systemic circulation. 
During the pulmonary circulation - The blood low in oxygen flows from the heart to the lungs and then oxygenated blood flows back to the heart. This blood rich in oxygen flows from heart to the rest of the body then back again to the heart. This is called systemic circulation.


Question 75.


What are the different blood cells? Write the functions of each. [5 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Naming: 1 Mark
Functions: 4 Marks

There are three types of blood cells- Red blood cells/erythrocytes (RBC), White blood cells/leucocytes (WBC) and platelets.
Red blood cells (RBCs) contain a red pigment called haemoglobin. haemoglobin has two main functions.
1. Haemoglobin binds with oxygen and transports it to all the parts of the body.
2. The presence of haemoglobin makes blood appear red.

White blood cells(WBCs) help to fight against the germs that may enter into our body.
Platelets help in the clotting of blood and prevent bleeding and loss of blood.


Question 76.


Anwer the following questions: [5 MARKS]
1. Name the vessels which carry blood to the heart.
2. Name the vessels which carry blood away from the heart.
3. Name the blood vessel that brings oxygenated blood to the human heart.
4. Which chamber of the human heart receives deoxygenated blood?
5. Describe how deoxygenated blood from this chamber is sent to all parts of the body.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Each point: 1 Mark
1. Veins are the vessels which carry blood to the heart.
2. Arteries are the vessels which carry blood away from the heart.
3. Pulmonary vein is the blood vessel that brings oxygenated blood to the human heart.
4. Right chamber of the human heart comprising of right atrium and right ventricle receives deoxygenated blood from all the parts of the body.
5. De-oxygenated blood comes from the body to the upper chamber on the right, the right atrium, as it expands. Then it contracts to transfer the blood to the right ventricle causing it to dilate. The right ventricle, in turn, pumps it to the lungs for oxygenation which is brought back to left  atrium by pulmonary vein. It is then pumped to the rest of the body by aorta.


Question 77.


Red blood cells help in transporting oxygen to all parts of the human body.


  1.     True
  2.     False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Red blood cells contain a pigment called haemoglobin, which is responsible for the red colour of the blood. Haemoglobin can bind with oxygen and carbon dioxide and transport them across the body. Haemoglobin carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body and carbon dioxide from all parts of the body to the lungs.
Question 78.


Transpiration is important for plants because:


I: It removes extra water


II: It cools down the plant


III: It helps in transport of food


IV: It helps in transport of water upwards


  1.     II, III and IV
  2.     I, II and III
  3.     I, II and IV
  4.     II and III
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> I, II and IV
:
C

Transpiration is defined as the process where plants expel excess water as water vapor through pores in their leaves called stomata. This process removes excess water, creates a suction pull to help in the transport of water upwards and cools down the plant. The phloem tissues help in the transport of food. 


Question 79.


The aorta is the largest artery in the body. 


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     I, II and IV
  4.     II and III
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
The aorta is the largest artery in our body. It conveys oxygenated blood from the heart to the smaller arteries which takes it to all other parts of the body. 
Question 80.


Which of the following are components of blood?


  1.     Serum 
  2.     Red blood cells 
  3.     White blood cells
  4.     Bile 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Serum 
:
A, B, and C
The fluid part of the blood is called the serum. The other cellular components present in the blood are red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Bile is secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbaldder.
