COMPETANCY BASED QUESTIONS
11 There is a range of strategies by which the food is taken in and used by the organisms in
heterotrophic nutrition. Some organism breakdown the food material outside the body and
then absorb it. Others take in whole material and break it down inside their bodies. What
can be taken in and broken down depends on the body design and functioning. Some others
derive nutrition from plants and animals without killing them.

1. Organisms which derive nutrition from plants and animals without killing them.
A. Parasites B. Saprophytes C. Heterotrophs D. Autotrophs

2. In which part of amoeba complex food particles are broken down into simpler ones.
A. Cytoplasm B. Pseudopodia C. Nucleus D. Food vacuole

3. Which of the following is an example of saprotroph.

A. Cuscuta B. Sugarcane C. Bread mould D. Amoeba
4. Taking in whole material and breaking it down inside the body is
A. Parasitic nutrition B. Holozoic nutrition C. Saprophytic nutrition D. Symbiosis
5. Heterotrophic nutrition involves
A. Production of simple sugar from inorganic compounds
B. Utilisation of chemical energy to prepare food
C. Utilisation of energy obtained by plants
D. All of these

1. Which of these correctly represent the labels B, C, D and E?

A. Pancreas, Oesophagus, Stomach, Liver
B. Oesophagus, Liver, Stomach, Pancreas
C. Stomach, Liver, Oesophagus, Pancreas
D. Oesophagus, Pancreas, Liver, Stomach
 2. Villi are present in
A. D B. E C. F D. A

3. The enzyme that is released by the part label A is

A. Trypsin B. Amino acids C. Amylase D. Intestinal juices

4. The movements that occur along part B to push the food forward.
A. Rotation B. Peristalsis C. Flexion D. Protrusion

5. In case of diarrhoea, which major process does not take place normally in region G?
A. Absorption of food B. Absorption of water C. Secretion of hormones D. Removal of waste
material
13 ASSERTION REASON TYPE QUESTIONS
Following questions consists of two statements – Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Answer
these questions selecting the appropriate option given below:
A. Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
B. Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
C. Assertion is true but reason is false.
D. Assertion is false and reason is true
A Assertion: In plants gaseous exchange takes place by the opening and closing of guard cells.
Reason: The exchange of gases occurs across the surface of stem, roots and leaves

B Assertion: Bread tastes sweet on chewing.

Reason: Salivary amylase converts starch into sugar.

C Assertion: Herbivores have longer intestine to allow cellulose to get digested.

Reason: Carnivores have shorter intestine to allow meat to get digested.

D Assertion: Lipase helps in the digestion of proteins.

Reason: Digestion of proteins in small intestine needs basic medium

E Assertion: A plant closes its stomata when it does not need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis
Reason: Large amount of water can be lost as vapour through the stomata.

F Assertion: The opening and closing of the pore is a function of the guard cells.
Reason: Stomatal pores are the site for exchange of gases by diffusion.

14 Observe the experimental set up and answer the questions given below.
Note that the bell jars are inverted over the plants after the plants are kept in dark for 72 hours. Also,
the set-up is air tight. The set-up is kept in sunlight for a few hours and then starch test is done on
leaves of both plants.
 (i) What is the aim of this experiment?
15
(ii) Why are the plants to be kept in the dark for 72 hours?
(iii) What is the role of KOH in this experiment?

Observe the experimental setup given below and answer the following questions.

(i) Identify the liquids labelled as A and B.

(ii) Why is the leaf supposed to be first boiled in A and then in B?
(iii) Can the leaf be boiled in B directly over the flame of the burner? Give
