Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 1

Choose the correct statement that describes arteries.

Detailed Solution for Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 1
Arteries are thick-walled blood vessels which pump blood at high pressure away from the heart. They do not have valves as their walls are highly muscular.

Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 3

The transpiration organ in plant is

Detailed Solution for Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 3

Stomata, which are part of the epidermal system in plants, facilitate transpiration. Transpiration mainly occurs through these stomata located in the leaves.

Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 4

It is necessary to separate oxygenated blood from the deoxygenated blood in mammals

Detailed Solution for Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 4
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.
Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 5

Arteries are best defined as the vessels which

Detailed Solution for Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 5
Arteries are the blood vessels which carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the organs. It breaks up into several branches of capillaries before entering the organs. These capillaries again reunite to form venules and ultimately veins which carry the deoxygenated blood towards the heart.
Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 6

Which among the following is NOT a function of the kidney

Detailed Solution for Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 6
The antibody is secreted as an immune response towards the antigen. It is mainly produced by the B-cells of the immune system. The kidney participates in the homeostasis, regulating acid-base balance, electrolyte concentrations, extracellular fluid volume, and blood pressure, filtration of blood, and excretion of wastes in the form of urine.
Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 7

Which among the following is the major excretory organ in humans?

Detailed Solution for Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 7


The kidney is the main excretory organ in man. It helps in the filtration of blood and maintains osmoregulation. Accessory organs of excretion are liver, lungs, and skin. Small intestine and large intestine helps in the digestion of food whereas the heart is the main circulatory organ in the human body which helps in the transportation of blood.

Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 8

Assertion - Saline water is not given to patients with hypertension.

Reason - Saline water can cause vomiting and may drop blood pressure suddenly causing cardiac arrest

Detailed Solution for Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 8
When salt is ingested, it is dissolved in the blood as two separate ions - Na+ and Cl-. The water potential in blood will decrease due to the increased solutes and blood osmotic pressure will increase. While the kidney reacts to excrete excess sodium and chloride in the body, water retention causes blood pressure to increase. Saline water causes an increase in blood pressure not decreases in blood pressure.
Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 9

What is a higher side blood pressure of the normal body-

Detailed Solution for Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 9
When your systolic pressure is between 120 and 129 mm Hg and your diastolic pressure is less than 80 mm Hg, it means you have elevated blood pressure. Although these numbers aren't technically considered high blood pressure, you've moved out of the normal range.
Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 10

The manufactured food in a green plant moves from the leaves to other parts through________.

Detailed Solution for Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 10


The sugars, synthesized in leaves (as a result of photosynthesis) are translocated downwards, upwards, and laterally to storage organs mainly through phloem. These sugars are translocated in the form of sucrose.

Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 11

Most vital process for existence of life on earth is

Detailed Solution for Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 11


Photosynthesis is the most important process on earth, without which neither plants nor animals could survive.

Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 12

The value of diastolic blood pressure is

Detailed Solution for Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 12
The diastolic reading, or the bottom number, is the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats. This is the time when the heart fills with blood and gets oxygen. A normal diastolic blood pressure is lower than 80. A reading of 90 or higher means you have high blood pressure.
Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 13

Most of the carbon dioxide in the blood is carried in the form of

Detailed Solution for Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 13

The majority of carbon dioxide molecules (85 percent) are carried as part of the bicarbonate buffer system. In this system, carbon dioxide diffuses into the red blood cells. Carbonic anhydrase (CA) within the red blood cells quickly converts the carbon dioxide into carbonic acid (H2CO3).

Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 14

Which of the following is not a digestive enzyme contained in the pancreatic juice?

i. Lipase

ii. Hydrochloric acid

iii. Mucus

iv. Trypsin

Detailed Solution for Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 14
The enzymes lipase and trypsin are present in the pancreatic juice that break down emulsified fats and degrade proteins respectively.
Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 15

The enzymes pepsin and trypsin are secreted respectively by

Detailed Solution for Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 15
Stomach secretes the enzyme pepsin and pancreas produces trypsin. Both of them break down protein.
Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 16

Among the following choose the correct option which includes the organisms that have a holozoic mode of nutrition:

Detailed Solution for Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 16
Holozoic nutrition involves the ingestion of organic food particles and later its assimilation for the purpose of supplying energy to the whole body.
Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 17

Raw materials required in the autotrophic mode of nutrition involves:

i. Carbon dioxide and water

ii. Chlorophyll

iii. Nitrogen

iv. Sunlight

Detailed Solution for Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 17
Autotrophic mode of nutrition involves the use of sunlight, chlorophyll, carbon dioxide, and water to produce starch.
Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 18

The enzymes contained in pancreatic juices help in the digestion of:

Detailed Solution for Important Questions (2 Marks): Life Processes - Question 18
The pancreas contains all kinds of enzymes that can digest proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
