                                                1. Breathing: Air moves into lungs and out of lungs.<\/li>\n
                                                2. Gaseous exchange in lungs: Exchange of gases between alveoli and blood.<\/li>\n
                                                3. Gas transport by blood: Transport of oxygen from blood capillaries of alveoli to body cells and return of carbon dioxide.<\/li>\n
                                                4. Gaseous exchange in cells: Exchanging oxygen from blood into the cells and carbon dioxide from cells into the blood.<\/li>\n
                                                5. Cellular respiration: Using oxygen in cell processes to produce carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy to be used for life processes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                                  Question 16.
                                                  \nWhat will happen if the respiratory tract is not moist? (OR)
                                                  \nWhy respiratory tract should be moist?
                                                  \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

                                                    \n
                                                  1. If the respiratory tract is not moist the dirt particles in the inhaled air will not be removed from air in the nasal cavities and reaches lungs and creates problems to lungs.<\/li>\n
                                                  2. The temperature of the inhaled air is brought close to that of the body for the smooth passage in the respiratory tract. If it is dry, it is not possible.<\/li>\n
                                                  3. If the surface dries out, gas exchange will happen at a very reduced rate since fast moving gaseous oxygen molecules do not efficiently cross the alveoli membrane.<\/li>\n
                                                  4. The reduced gas exchange is most likely not enough to support blood oxygenation for vital functions.<\/li>\n
                                                  5. Hence respiratory tract should be moist for smooth exchange of gases.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                                    Question 17.
                                                    \nExplain the process of transportation of gases through the blood.
                                                    \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

                                                      \n
                                                    1. The relative amount of gases and their combining capacity with haemoglobin and other substances in blood determine their transport via blood in the body.<\/li>\n
                                                    2. When oxygen present in the air is within normal limits (around 21%) then almost all of it is carried in the blood by binding to haemoglobin, a protein present in the red blood cells.<\/li>\n
                                                    3. As oxygen is diffused in the blood, it rapidly combines with the haemoglobin to form oxyhaemoglobin.<\/li>\n
                                                    4. Not only can haemoglobin combine with oxygen, but it can easily broken into haemoglobin and oxygen.<\/li>\n
                                                    5. Carbon dioxide is usually transported as bicarbonate, while some amount of it combines with haemoglobin and rest is dissolved in blood plasma.

                                                        \n
                                                      1. If haemoglobin is exposed to air at sea level, every molecule in air combines with oxygen to form oxyhaemoglobin.<\/li>\n
                                                      2. At a height of 13 km above sea level, the concentration of oxygen is much lower about l\/5th of a sea level.<\/li>\n
                                                      3. Under these conditions about half as many molecules of oxygen combine with haemoglobin to form oxyhaemoglobin.<\/li>\n
                                                      4. Blood cannot carry enough oxygen to the tissues.<\/li>\n
                                                      5. Hence human life is impossible at such a high altitude without a supplementary supply of oxygen.<\/li>\n
                                                      6. Provision for such a supply is built into modern aircraft which have pressurized cabins that maintain an enriched air supply.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                                        \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

                                                          \n
                                                        1. Glucose is the most commonly used sugar for deriving energy in plants, animals and in microorganisms.<\/li>\n
                                                        2. In all these organisms glucose is oxidized in two stages.<\/li>\n
                                                        3. The first stage is known as Glycolysis. It occurs in cytoplasm.<\/li>\n
                                                        4. During glycolysis glucose is converted to two molecules of pyruvic acid.<\/li>\n
                                                        5. In the second stage if oxygen is available pyruvic acid is converted to C02 and water, large amount of energy is released. This is known as aerobic respiration. It occurs in most of the plant and animal cells.<\/li>\n
                                                        6. If oxygen is inadequate or not available, pyruvic acid is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide. This is anaerobic respiration taking place in yeast cells that is called fermentation.<\/li>\n
                                                        7. If oxygen is not available in muscle cells, the pyruvic acid is converted into lactic acid.

                                                            1. Some aquatic animals like fishes have developed special organs for respiration which are known as gills or branchiae.<\/li>\n
                                                            2. Blood is supplied to gills through capillaries which have thin walls where gases are exchanged. Gills are present in the gill pouches or branchial pouches.

                                                            3. Gills are provided with leaf-like folds called gill lamellae.<\/li>\n
                                                            4. Fish keeps its mouth open and lowers the floor of the oral cavity. As a result water from outside will be drawn into the oral cavity.<\/li>\n
                                                            5. Now the mouth is closed and the floor of the oral cavity is raised.<\/li>\n
                                                            6. Water is pushed into the pharynx and is forced to gill pouches through internal branchia apertures.<\/li>\n
                                                            7. When water passes through gill lamellae exchange of gases takes place, that is oxygen diffuses from water to blood and CO2<\/sub> from blood into water.<\/li>\n
                                                            8. Then water flows through external branchia aperture.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                                              1. To improve breathing capacity the saint Patanjali developed Yogabyasa.<\/li>\n

                                                                2. The next series of experiments deals with the combustion of phosphorous in a bell jar. From this he showed that whatever it was in the atmospheric air which combined with the phosphorous was not water vapour.<\/li>\n
                                                                3. This was respirable air, a component of air that also helped in burning.<\/li>\n
                                                                4. The air that we breathe out precipitated lime water while that after heating metal did not.<\/li>\n

                                                                6. Lavoisier carried out another experiment by which he showed that about one sixth of the volume of \u2018vitiated air\u2019 consists of chalky acid gas (fixed air).<\/li>\n
                                                                7. Either eminently respirable air is changed in the lungs to chalky acid air; or an exchange takes place, the eminently respirable air being absorbed, and an almost equal volume of chalky acid air being given up to the air from the lungs.<\/li>\n
                                                                8. Lavoisier had to admit that there were strong grounds for believing that eminently respirable air did combine with the blood to produce the red colour.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

As the air pressure in the lungs is reduced, air from outside enters the lungs through external nostrils, nasal cavities, internal nares, pharynx, epiglottis, larynx, trachea, bronchi and branchioles and finally reach the alveoli where exchange of gases takes place.<\/li>\n

                                                                                        \nB) In athletics the rate of heart beat is less i.e., 40 – 60 times \/ minute.
                                                                                        \nC) The heart of athlete pump more blood per beat due to increased cardio-vascular fitness in the structure of the heart. The muscles in the heart wall thicken and the heart pumps more blood with each beat.
                                                                                        \nD)<\/p>\n

                                                                                          \nD) Why the weight of heart is less than body weight?
                                                                                          \nAnswer:
                                                                                          \nA) The animals with more weight usually have weighted hearts. In one heart beat the large-sized hearts sends high amounts of blood to circulatory system. It takes time for the fulfilment of heart. Hence heart beat is less in animals with more body weight.
                                                                                          \nB) Usually the heart is very small in less weight animals. When the animal shrinks or contracts , its heart actually decrease the volume of blood proportionately. It can compensate for the reduced volume by increasing the rate at which it can supply blood to all body parts.
                                                                                          \nC) As the weight of the body of the animal increases the rate of heart beat per minute decreases. And also as the weight of the body decrease the rate of heart beat increases.
                                                                                          \nD) Usually the body of an organism is made by number of organs which makes the body functional. As all the body parts constitute the whole organism, the heart one of the organ is usually has less weight than body weight of an animal.
