Vikram Kapoor answered |
- During heavy exercise, the demand for energy is high but the supply of oxygen to produce energy is limited. Therefore, anaerobic respiration takes place in the muscle cells to fulfil the demand for energy.
- This anaerobic breakdown of glucose leads to the formation of lactic acid in muscles.
- The accumulation of lactic acid in muscles leads to muscle cramps.
Thus option A is correct.

Raghav Bansal answered |
2. Alimentary Canal
Explanation: The movement of food through the esophagus is primarily due to a process called peristalsis. Peristalsis is a series of wave-like muscle contractions that move food through the digestive tract, including the esophagus, which is a part of the alimentary canal. While lubrication by saliva helps in swallowing, the actual movement of food down the esophagus is due to the coordinated contractions of the muscles in the walls of the alimentary canal.

**Transpiration Organ in Plants:**
The correct answer to the question is option 'A' - Epidermis.
**Explanation:**
The transpiration organ in plants is the epidermis. The epidermis is the outermost layer of cells covering the leaves, stems, and roots of plants. It serves as a protective barrier against mechanical injury, pathogens, and excessive water loss. It also plays a crucial role in the process of transpiration.
**Transpiration:**
Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water in the form of water vapor through the stomata, which are tiny openings present on the epidermis of leaves and stems. It is an essential process for plants as it helps in the absorption and transport of water and nutrients, cooling the plant, and maintaining turgidity.
**Role of Epidermis in Transpiration:**
The epidermis of leaves and stems contains specialized cells called guard cells, which surround and control the opening and closing of the stomata. When the plant needs to release excess water vapor, the guard cells open the stomata, allowing water to evaporate from the leaf surface. This process is known as transpiration.
**Structure of Epidermis:**
The epidermis is made up of tightly packed cells with a waxy layer called the cuticle on the outer surface. The cuticle helps in reducing water loss by acting as a waterproof barrier. However, the majority of transpiration occurs through the stomata.
**Importance of Transpiration:**
Transpiration is essential for several reasons:
1. Water and nutrient absorption: Transpiration creates a continuous flow of water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves, allowing plants to receive the necessary resources for growth and development.
2. Cooling effect: Transpiration helps in cooling the plant by releasing water vapor, similar to how sweating cools our bodies.
3. Maintaining turgidity: Transpiration maintains turgidity in plant cells, preventing wilting and maintaining the overall health and structure of the plant.
In conclusion, the epidermis of plants serves as the transpiration organ because it contains the stomata, which are responsible for the release of water vapor during the process of transpiration.

Raghav Bansal answered |
Oxygenated blood carries O2 to the various tissues, muscles, cells, et(c) from the lungs and heart, while deoxygenated blood carries CO2 from the organs to the lungs which is removed from the body. In birds and mammals, it is essential to keep the oxygenated blood separated from the deoxygenated blood In this way, only highly oxygenated blood is sent out to the body's tissues for far more efficient diffusion into the cells of the body, giving them more 'fuel' to run cellular respiration in the mitochondria, to make ATP molecules to run the reactions that allow them to maintain body temperature in addition to running all of their metabolic reactions of the body. If they were not separated, it would probably take much longer to perform simple activities and metabolism would be reduced as a consequence.

1. Enhanced Filtration Efficiency
- The proximity of nephrons allows for a greater surface area for filtration.
- With more nephrons working simultaneously, the kidneys can process larger volumes of blood, effectively removing waste products and excess substances.
2. Concentrated Functionality
- Nephrons consist of glomeruli and tubules that work together to filter blood and reabsorb necessary substances.
- Close arrangement enables quick communication and cooperation between these components, leading to optimal performance.
3. Maximized Resource Utilization
- By packing nephrons together, the kidneys minimize the distance over which filtrate must travel, thus reducing the energy required for filtration and reabsorption processes.
- This efficiency is vital for maintaining homeostasis in the body, ensuring that crucial nutrients and electrolytes are preserved while waste is excreted.
4. Effective Waste Removal
- The design facilitates rapid filtration and concentration of urine by allowing multiple nephrons to contribute to the overall filtering process.
- This means toxins and waste products can be efficiently cleared from the bloodstream, maintaining the body's internal environment.

Introduction
The kidney is a vital organ in the human body responsible for filtering blood, eliminating waste, and maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance. Among its various structures, the Bowman's capsule plays a crucial role in the filtration process.
Bowman's Capsule: The Filtration Unit
- The Bowman's capsule is a cup-shaped structure that encases the glomerulus, a network of tiny blood vessels (capillaries).
- It is located in the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney, where blood filtration begins.
Filtration Process
- Blood Flow: Blood enters the kidney through the renal artery and reaches the glomerulus, where high pressure forces fluid and small solutes out of the blood.
- Filtration Barrier: The walls of the glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule form a selective barrier. This barrier allows water, ions, glucose, and small waste molecules to pass while retaining larger molecules like proteins and blood cells.
- Formation of Filtrate: The fluid that collects in the Bowman's capsule is called glomerular filtrate. This filtrate then moves into the renal tubules for further processing and reabsorption.
Other Structures Explained
- Ureter: A tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder.
- Urinary Bladder: A storage organ for urine before it is expelled from the body.
- Urethra: The duct through which urine is discharged from the bladder.
Conclusion
In summary, the Bowman's capsule is the key structure in the kidney responsible for the initial filtration of blood. It initiates the process of waste removal, setting the stage for the kidneys' essential role in maintaining homeostasis.

Ashok Pawar answered |
Because in alveoli( richly supplied with blood vessels), where oxygenated blood is present, is absorbed by haemoglobin, present in the RBC(Red Blood Cell). With the help of haemoglobin, the oxygenated blood is diffused in the whole body. Where on the other side, deoxygenated blood, which is present in the plasma, is reached to the alveoli and it absorbs by our lungs then finally the deoxygenated blood is exhaled by our nostrils. This is how alveoli helps for respiration with the help of diffusion in our lungs.

Nk Classes answered |
Explanation of the Breathing Cycle:
- The lungs are never completely empty. After exhalation, a certain amount of air, known as residual volume, remains.
- This residual volume ensures that the lungs maintain structural integrity and continue to facilitate gas exchange.
- It is crucial for the lungs to always have some air to prevent collapse and to support the continual exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Understanding Anaerobic Respiration
Anaerobic respiration is a metabolic process that occurs in the absence of oxygen. It allows organisms to generate energy when oxygen is not available. This process is crucial for various organisms, especially in environments where oxygen levels are low.
Key Features of Anaerobic Respiration
- No Oxygen Utilization: Unlike aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen. As a result, oxygen is not taken in during this process.
- Production of Carbon Dioxide: One of the primary byproducts of anaerobic respiration is carbon dioxide (CO2). For example, in yeast, the process converts glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide, which is why CO2 is released.
- Energy Yield: Anaerobic respiration produces less energy compared to aerobic respiration. While aerobic respiration yields about 36 ATP molecules from one glucose molecule, anaerobic respiration typically yields only 2 ATP molecules.
Examples of Anaerobic Respiration
- In Yeast: During fermentation, yeast converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. This is widely used in baking and brewing industries.
- In Muscle Cells: In humans, during intense exercise, muscle cells may rely on anaerobic respiration when oxygen levels are low, resulting in the production of lactic acid alongside carbon dioxide.
Conclusion
In summary, the correct answer to the question is option 'B' because, during anaerobic respiration, carbon dioxide is produced and released as a byproduct. Understanding this process is essential for appreciating how different organisms adapt to their environments and manage energy production.

The correct answer is:
c) (i), (ii) and (iv)
c) (i), (ii) and (iv)
Explanation:
In autotrophic mode of nutrition (like in green plants), organisms prepare their own food using simple substances from the surroundings through photosynthesis.
The main raw materials required are:
- (i) Carbon dioxide – from the atmosphere and Water – from the soil
- (ii) Chlorophyll – as the pigment necessary to capture sunlight
- (iv) Sunlight – as the energy source
Note:
Chlorophyll is not a "raw material" but a requirement for photosynthesis.
Nitrogen (iii) is essential for growth and protein synthesis, but not directly involved in the photosynthesis process.
Hence, option (c) is the most appropriate.

Understanding Lime Water in Fermentation
In the fermentation experiment, the milky appearance of lime water is a significant observation. This phenomenon is primarily due to the release of carbon dioxide during the fermentation process. Here’s a detailed explanation:
What is Lime Water?
- Lime water is a dilute solution of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2).
- It is clear and colorless when undisturbed.
What Happens During Fermentation?
- Fermentation is a metabolic process where sugars are converted into alcohol or acids by microorganisms like yeast.
- During this process, carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced as a byproduct.
Formation of Calcium Carbonate
- When carbon dioxide is bubbled through lime water, it reacts with calcium hydroxide, forming calcium carbonate (CaCO3).
- The chemical reaction can be summarized as follows:
- Ca(OH)2 + CO2 → CaCO3 (precipitate) + H2O
Indication of Carbon Dioxide Release
- The formation of calcium carbonate is what causes the milky appearance of the lime water.
- The precipitate makes the solution appear cloudy or milky, indicating that carbon dioxide is present in the solution.
Conclusion: Why Option 'C' is Correct
- The milky appearance signifies the release of carbon dioxide during fermentation, confirming option 'C' as the correct answer.
- Thus, the observation serves as a practical indicator of the fermentation process occurring, validating the metabolic activity of the microorganisms involved.
