FAQs on Class 10 Science Chapter 5 Practice Question Answers - Life Processes

1. What is excretion in human beings?
Ans. Excretion is the process of removing waste products from the body. In human beings, excretion primarily occurs through the urinary system, which eliminates nitrogenous waste products like urea, uric acid, and creatinine.
2. How does the urinary system work in excretion?
Ans. The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter waste products from the blood and produce urine, which travels through the ureters to the bladder for storage. When the bladder is full, urine is eliminated through the urethra.
3. What are the different types of excretion in plants?
Ans. Plants excrete waste products through several methods, including respiration, transpiration, and guttation. During respiration, plants release carbon dioxide as a waste product. During transpiration, plants release water vapor through the stomata. During guttation, plants release excess water through specialized structures called hydathodes.
4. What is the role of the liver in excretion?
Ans. The liver plays a crucial role in excretion by breaking down and eliminating toxins from the body. It converts harmful substances like ammonia and alcohol into less toxic compounds that can be eliminated by the kidneys or intestines.
5. How do kidneys maintain homeostasis in the body?
Ans. The kidneys help maintain homeostasis in the body by regulating the balance of water, electrolytes, and pH levels in the blood. They also filter waste products from the blood and eliminate them through urine. Additionally, the kidneys produce hormones that regulate blood pressure and red blood cell production.
