Exercises I. 1. a saprophyte 2. autotrophic 3. chlorophyll 4. starch 5. photosynthesis 6. fix nitrogen II. 1. X 2. X 3. ✓ 4. X 5. X 6. X III. 1. The process by which an organism obtains substances that provide energy, help in growth and maintain the body is called nutrition. 2. No. Birds are heterotrophs. 3. Living organisms that feed on other living organisms are known as heterotrophs. 4. Fungi are saprophytes. 5. Chloroplasts contain the green pigment called chlorophyll. 6. Yes. The leaves of plants such as crotons appear red because the green chlorophyll in such plants is masked by a red pigment. 7. Oxygen is produced during the process of photosynthesis. 8. Rhizobium bacteria live in the roots of plants such as beans, peas and grams. 9. Mistletoe is a 'Partial parasitic plant. 10. Food made by the leaves is transported to all parts of the plants through phloem tubes. IV. 1. Autotrophs: Autotrophs are the organisms that make their own food by using simple substances from their surroundings. Examples: most plants, unicellular algae and some bacteria. Heterotrophs: All organisms that obtain nutrition by feeding on other living organisms are called heterotrophic organisms. Examples: animals 2. Carbon dioxide + Water--- ---> Glucose (sugar) + Oxygen. 3. Total parasitic plants : Plants that do not have chlorophyll and obtain food and water from other plants are called total parasitic plants. For example, Cuscuta plant. Partial parasitic plants : They grow on trees such as mango and teak. They have chlorophyll and makes some of their food, but depend on the host plant for water and certain nutrients. For example, Mistletoe plant. 4. Growing a crop such as beans, after growing a crop such as wheat, in order to increase the fertility of the soil is called rotation of crops. 5. Some plants depend on other plants for food and water. Such plants are called parasitic plants. For example, Cuscuta. 6. Lichens are formed by the association of an alga and a fungus, and sometimes a photosynthesising bacterium. The organisms help each other to live. VI 1. Leaves help a plant to make its food by a process called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, light energy is converted into chemical energy. In this process, water and carbon dioxide combine to form sugar and oxygen. 2. The saprophyte (fungus) grows on organic matter. It secretes digestive juices which break down organic matter into simple substances and convert it into a solution. The saprophyte absorbs the solution and obtains nutrition. 3. The roots of bean plants contain certain bacteria called Rhizobium. These bacteria convert nitrogen gas from air into water-soluble nitrogenous substances, which are used by the plants to make proteins. 4. Parasitic plants depend on other living plants for food and water. A parasitic plant damages the host plant. Saprophytes are organisms that obtain nutrition from dead organic matter. 5. Boil some water in a container and place a leaf in it for about 3 minutes. Remove the leaf from the boiling water and place it in a test tube and pour enough alcohol (ethanol or rectified spirit) to cover the leaf. Place the test tube in boiling water and let the alcohol boil. Stop boiling the alcohol when the leaf has turned completely colourless. Wash the leaf with tap water. Lay the leaf on a clean dish and pour some dilute iodine solution on it. A bluish colour will develop on the leaf. Iodine reacts with starch to give a bluish colour. This proves that starch is present in the leaves. 6. Chlorophyll is the green pigment present in the chloroplasts of leaves. They trap energy from sunlight and use it to make food for the plant. Some plants have leaves that do not appear green. These leaves also have chlorophyll. The chlorophyll in such leaves is masked by pigments of different colors. Higher Order Thinking Skills 1. The leaf is exposed to sunlight. 2. The chlorophyll in the leaf cells absorbs the sunlight. 3. Air enters the stomata and carbon dioxide is taken into the leaf cells. 4. Energy-rich sugar molecules are formed. 5. Oxygen is formed and released through the stomata. 6. Excess sugar is converted to starch. LESSON 2-NUTRITION IN ANIMALS I. 1. small, Simple molecules 2. Small intestine 3.Amylase 4. Fatty Acid 5.Only Fats 6. Carbon dioxide, water, energy 7. Cellular respiration 8. Amino acids II. 1.e, 2.d 3.a 4.b, 5.c III 1. Pancreatic juice 2. Blood 3. Amylase 4. Liver 5. Glands in the inner walls of the stomach 6. Amino acids 7. Mucus 8. Pancreas IV. 1, Digestion is the process through which the body converts useful substances in the food into simple substances. It takes place with the help of certain enzymes secreted by various organs of the digestive system. 2. Organs of the human digestive system are mouth, oesophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, small intestine and large intestine. 3. Incisors are the four front teeth which are used to bite or cut food into smaller pieces. The canines are the tearing teeth present, one each on either side of the incisors, on each jaw. 4. Saliva is a digestive juice. It contains amylase that breaks down carbohydrates into sugar. 5. The inner walls of the small intestine have finger-like projections called villi. These villi are richly supplied with blood vessels. They increase the surface area for absorption of useful substances. 6. Complex fat molecules present in the food items such as butter, oil, milk and meat are broken into simple fatty acids in the small intestine. V. 1. Food items such as wheat, potato and rice contain a carbohydrate called starch. A starch molecule is made up of several hundred glucose molecules linked together. It is a very large molecule and therefore the body cannot use it. The amylase secreted by the saliva in the mouth starts breaking down the carbohydrates. The pancreatic juice helps in further breaking down of carbohydrates into simple glucose molecules in the small intestine. The body uses glucose to obtain energy. 2. Proteins present in food items such as pulses, milk, meat and fish are complex substances. Each protein molecule is made up of many small amino acid molecules. The digestion of proteins starts in the stomach where the digestive juice called pepsin is present. The digestion of proteins is completed in the small intestine where the pancreatic juice breaks down proteins into amino acids. The body uses amino acids to grow and repair injured tissue. 3. The blood carries the glucose obtained from the digested food to every cell of the body. The glucose is broken down inside the cell in the presence of oxygen. During this process, the chemical energy present in the glucose is released along with carbon dioxide and water. This process is known as cellular respiration. This is how cells obtain energy and use it to perform different functions. 4. Ruminants have a four-chambered stomach. The first chamber is called the rumen. These herbivores eat quickly and store large amounts of grass in the rumen which contains millions of microbes and a large amount of saliva. The microbes begin to break down the food in the rumen. The animal now regurgitates the contents of the rumen back into the mouth several times to chew on it. The additional chewing helps in breaking down the cellulose contents further. From the rumen, the contents pass into the other two chambers before it reaches the fourth chamber. In these chambers, the hydrochloric acid and the gastric juices digest the proteins. 5. Amoeba lives in freshwater puddles and ponds and feeds mostly on remains of plants. Nutrition in Amoeba involves the following: • Ingestion: Amoeba senses a food particle, moves towards it and engulfs it. Digestion: A food vacuole is formed around the engulfed food particle containing digestive juices, which break down the food particle into simple substances. Assimilation: Amoeba uses these substances. Egestion: The undigested portion is removed from the body. Higher Order Thinking Skills I. 1.The carbohydrate in the chapati is broken down into sugar by the saliva. Hence it tastes sweet when chewed for a long time. 2. Digestion is completed in small intestine, and the absorption of the nutrients by the blood vessels happens here. Therefore, smal intestine is richly supplied with blood vessels. 3. Vegetables and fruits contain a lot of fibre. This helps in moving the undigested food to the anus. Thus it cleans the digestive system. | 4. Mammals such as whales have teeth which help in biting and chewing their food. These animals are called fitter feeders as they have to strain their food from water. II. 1.The moth feeds on nectar from flowers. 2. ‘No, the moth may collect nectar from different types of flowers. 3. The moth has a straw-like mouth part that helps in sucking nectar. 4. Bees and butterflies have similar straw-like mouth parts to suck nectar from flowers. For more solution visit Eureka plus Science Solution Class7 Chapter 03. Plants fiber and fabric

Short Answer Type-I Questions: 1. What is the function of saliva? Ans: The digestive functions of saliva include moistening food, and helping to create a food bolus, so it can be swallowed easily. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase, also called ptyalin, which is capable of breaking down starch into simpler sugars such as maltose and dextrin that can be further broken down in the small intestine 2. What is ingestion? Ans: The process of taking food inside our mouth is known as ingestion. 3. What is chyme? Ans: Partially digested food formed by the action of gastric juice in the stomach is called as chime. 4. What happens to the undigested food in the body? Ans: The undigested food passes to large intestine.Some water is absorbed and the semi solid waste (feces) is egested through anus. 5. What do you understand by the term assimilation? Ans: The process of producing energy from the absorbed food is known as assimilation 6. Where is liver located? Give its function. Ans:liver lies in front of stomach. Liver secrate bile that is stored in gall bladder. It make the digestion of fat faster. Note: Bile juice contains no digestive enzymes, yet it is important for digestion. Bile juice has bile pigments such as bilirubin and biliverdin. These break down large fat globules into smaller globules so that the pancreatic enzymes can easily act on them. This process is known as emulsification of fats. F. Short Answer Type-Il Questions: 1. Why we cannot breathe and swallow at the same time? Ans: Every time we swallow, the epiglottis closes the wind pipe .If we breathe and swallow at the same time, food or water enters wind pipe and we chock and cough. 2. In what substances carbohydrates, proteins and fats get converted into after digestion? Ans: in small intestine Carbohydrates get converted into sugars. Proteins get converted into amino acids. Fats get converted into fatty acids and glycerol. 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 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. (b) What do we learn from our teeth that have different functions? Ans: If we work united we will do any impossible work . G. Long Answer Questions: 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. 3. What are liver and pancreas? Write their functions in detail. Ans: liver and pancreas are organ that help in digestion of food. Live produce bile juice that breaks down fats and stores some vitamins and minerals. The pancreas has two main functions: an exocrine function that helps in digestion and an endocrine function that regulates blood sugar. Note: Liver is the largest gland of the body. It is a reddish-brown gland situated on the right side of the upper part of the Abdomen. Functions of liver are as follows: (i) To secrete bile juice which helps in the emulsification of fats present in the food. (ii) Detoxification- Conversion of toxic substances into non-toxic forms like conversion of ammonia to urea which gets excreted in the urine. (iii) Clearing the blood from drugs and other harmful substances. (iv) Conversion of excess glucose into glycogen for storage (glycogen can later be converted back to glucose to energy when body is in short of nutrients) Pancreas is a organ located in the upper abdomen and adjacent to the small intestine. It performs two main kind of functions in the body: (i) Exocrine function: It helps in the digestion of food. It produces various enzymes such as amylase, lipase and trypsin which helps to digest carbohydrate, fats and proteins respectively. (ii) Endocrine function: It produces hormonal insulin and glucagon which regulate the level of sugar present in the blood H. HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) Questions: 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.
