Class 10 Biology - Life Processes (Extended Flashcards)

1. Q: What are the types of nutrition?

A: Autotrophic and Heterotrophic nutrition.

2. Q: Define autotrophic nutrition with example.

A: Nutrition where organisms prepare their own food using sunlight, CO2, and water. Example:

Green plants.

3. Q: Define heterotrophic nutrition with example.

A: Nutrition where organisms depend on other organisms for food. Example: Humans, animals.

4. Q: What are the steps of nutrition in humans?

A: Ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation, and egestion.

5. Q: Name the enzyme present in saliva and its function.

A: Salivary amylase; it breaks down starch into sugars.

6. Q: What is peristalsis?

A: Wave-like muscle contractions that move food through the digestive tract.

7. Q: Which part of the small intestine absorbs digested food?

A: The villi in the small intestine.

8. Q: Write the word equation for aerobic respiration.

A: Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy

9. Q: Write the word equation for anaerobic respiration in muscles.

A: Glucose -> Lactic acid + Energy

10. Q: What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

A: Aerobic uses oxygen and releases more energy. Anaerobic does not use oxygen and releases
less energy.

11. Q: What is transpiration?

A: Loss of water vapor from the aerial parts of the plant, mainly through stomata.

12. Q: Name the tissues responsible for transport in plants.

A: Xylem (water) and Phloem (food).

13. Q: What is the function of xylem?

A: Transports water and minerals from roots to leaves.

14. Q: What is the function of phloem?

A: Transports food from leaves to other parts of the plant.

15. Q: How does the heart pump blood?

A: The heart contracts and relaxes in a rhythmic cycle to pump oxygenated and deoxygenated

blood.

16. Q: Which blood vessels carry blood away from the heart?

A: Arteries.

17. Q: Which blood vessels carry blood to the heart?

A: Veins.

18. Q: What is the role of platelets?

A: They help in blood clotting to prevent bleeding.

19. Q: What are the main organs of the human excretory system?

A: Kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra.

20. Q: What is the basic filtration unit in kidneys?

A: Nephrons.
21. Q: What is dialysis?

A: A process to remove waste and excess fluid from the blood when kidneys fail.
