Define symbiotic nutrition with example.

Answer: 11

11-34

It is an association between two organisms in which both the organisms get their nutrition from each other.E.g mycorrhiza ,Lichens etc.

Following are the animal mode of nutrition.

Parasitic
Fluid feeders
Herbivores
Omnivores
Carnivores
Detritivores
Filter feeders.

Question: 14

What do you know about fluid feeders?

Answer: 14

14-34

The animals which feed upon liquid or suck the fluid materials are called fluid feeders.

Examples are mosquito and aphids.Aphids suck the juice or nectar from the plants by the help of its long stylet.Mosquitoes suck the blood by inserting the mouth part into site of blood capillaries.

Question: 15

Define digestion?

Answer: 15

15-34

Breakdown of complex organic compounds of food into simpler diffusible molecule by the action of enzymes is called digestion e.g proteins (meat,fish,eggs) etc into amino acids.

Question: 16

Differentiate between ingestion and egestion.

Answer: 16

16-34

Ingestion : Intake of food in oral cavity is called ingestion.

Question: 17

Differentiate between Absorption and assimilation.

Answer: 17

17-34

Absorption : The uptake of the diffusible food molecule from the digestive region across the membrane in to the cell or into the blood stream.

Question: 18

What is the advantage of digestive tract as compared with a digestive cavity?

Answer: 18

18-34

Advantage of digestive tract is that,it is modified in to various structures which play their role in digestion of food in various ways i.e. both chemically and mechanically but in case of gastrovascular cavity there is no modification,there is only one chamber where food is digested.

Question: 19

What type of harms is caused by endoparasites to humans? Give any two.

Answer: 19

19-34

Hook worms is a parasite of human small intestine.It is very dangerous because it holds the villi of intestine and sucks the blood,It can cause anemia.Pin worms are parasitic in human caecum,colon and appendix.Their movement cause intense itching of anus,inflammation of mucous membrane of colon and appendix resulting insomnia and loss of appetite.

Question: 20

What is radula?

Answer: 20

20-34

Garden snail feeds by using rasping organ,the radula.Leaves are held by the lips of the snail.The radula moves back and forth over the leaves and its teeth scrape the food.

Question: 21

Define microphagous feeding with example.

Answer: 21

21-34

The animals which feed on large food particles or pieces are macrophagous feeders.In includes.

Tentacular feeding for example as in hydra.

Scraping :it is a type of feeding in which large food particles is cut down into smaller food particles.In snail the rasping tongue is used for cutting the large leaves into smaller leaves.The radula moves over the leaves which are hold by the lips of the snails.The smaller pieces are then pushed back towards the pharynx.

Question: 22

What is macrophagous feedings?

Answer: 22

22-34

The animals which feed in large food particles or pieces are macrophagous feeders.in include

Question: 23

What is meant by fluid and macrophagous feeders with examples?

Answer: 23

23-34

When food is ingested in liquid from the animals are classed as fluid feeders,Aphids and mosquitoes are the example.

Animals which take in food in the form of large pieces are microphagous feeders.

Question: 24

What is holozoic nutrition?

Answer: 24

24-34

Mode of animals nutrition is called holozoic nutrition.In this method food is ingested into oral cavity and then digestion takes place intracellularly or inside the digestive system.

Question: 25

Answer: 26

26-34

There is a cavity in the center which acts as digestive cavity,There is a simple opening for the ingestion and egestion of the food which is called mouth and is surrounded by the tentacles such type of body cavity is called coeleontron.

Question: 27

Define peristalsis and antiperistalsis.

Answer: 27

27-34

Peristalsis : It consists of wave of contraction of the circular and longitudinal muscle of digestive tract processed by the wave of relaxation thus squeezing the food down along the canal.

Question: 28

What is Saliva? Give its composition.

Answer: 28

28-34

Saliva is secreted by pairs of salivary glands.

Composition : Saliva contains three important ingredients.

Water and mucous,Sodium bicarbonate and some salts,Amylase or ptyalin.

Question: 29

What is the role of crop and gizzard in cockroach?

Answer: 29

29-34

Crop stores partly digested fodd.Food leaves the croup chunk by chunk and enters in gizzard.

Gizzard cause grinding of food and food in transported to midgut.

Question: 30

Write a note on peristalsis.

Answer: 30

30-34

It is a special type of movement by which food moves along the alimentary canal.It consists of alternate contraction of circular and longitudinal muscles followed by the wave of relaxation which squeeze the food down along the alimentary canal.

Question: 31

Enlist steps involved in holozoic nutrition.

Answer: 31

31-34

Steps:IngestionDigestionAbsorptionAssimilationEgestion

Question: 32

Write names of parts of digestive system of cockroach system of cockroach.

Answer: 32

32-34

The digestive system of cockroach is of tubular type. It can be divided into three parts.Foregut ,Midget,Hindgut

Name of parts of digestive system of cockroach are

Mouth,crop,gizzard rectum,cloaca.

Question: 33

Name ingredients of salvia.

Answer: 33

33-34
