3. What are the functions performed by tongue?

Ans: tongue helps in process of chewing by pushing the food towards the teeth. It also
help to mix the food with saliva

4. Which part of the alimentary canals involved in (a) chewing of food (b) killing of
bacteria (C) absorption of food (d) formation of faeces?

Ans: (a) chewing of food – Mouth (b) killing of bacteria – stomach (C) absorption of
food – small intestine (d) formation of faeces – large intestine

1. Briefly describe nutrition in Amoeba with the help of diagrams.

Ans: Amoeba takes in food by forming temporary finger-like projections called

pseudopodia. The pseudopodia fuse over the food particle forming a food vacuole. The
digestive enzymes from the surrounding cytoplasm enter into the food vacuole and
breakdown the food into small, water soluble molecules by chemical reactions. The
digested food from the food vacuole spreads into the whole of Amoeba cell and gets
absorbed in the cytoplasm. A part of absorbed food is used to obtain energy through
respiration and some is used for the growth of Amoeba cell. The undigested part of the
food is moved to the surface of Amoeba cell and egested (thrown out) by the rupture of
cell membrane.

2. Describe the process of digestion in ruminants.

Ans: The stomach of a ruminant is divided into four chambers. As soon as the ruminant
swallows the food, it enters the first chamber called rumen where it gets partially
digested (converted to cud). From here, the food enters the second chamber from where
it again reaches the mouth for rumination, which is thorough chewing. The food is again
swallowed, and now it enters the third and the fourth chamber for digestion. From here,
it enters the small intestine for the absorption of nutrients.

5. Different types of teeth in our jaws have different functions, but they all work together
to chew the food.

Ans: Different types of teeth in our jaws have different functions

(i) Incisors :- They help us in biting and cutting the food.

(ii) Canines : - They help us in piercing and tearing the pieces of meat.

(iii) Premolars:- They assist the molars by holding the food with their cusps and also
crushing them.

(iv) Molars : - They help us in chewing and grinding the food so that it can be swallowed
easily.

5. What do you understand by the term assimilation?

Ans: The process of producing energy from the absorbed food is known as assimilation
1. The bacteria present on uncleaned teeth convert the sugar in food into a substance 'X'
which causes tooth decay. Name the substance 'X'. Which part of the teeth does it affect?

Ans: Substance X is lactic acid which is formed in the mouth after we eat food
containing sugar. it affect enamel.

[ Note : Lactic acid lowers the pH in the mouth making it acidic. Our tooth enamel is
made up of calcium phosphate, which is the hardest material in our body, but even it
starts getting corroded when the pH in the mouth is lower than 5.5(Acidic)]

2. How is ruminant's stomach different from humans?

Ans: The stomach of a ruminant is divided into four chambers they are rumen,
reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. Human stomach is a single organ.
