8. Arteries are the vessels which carry blood away from the heart to various organs of the body. Since the blood
emerges from the heart under high pressure, the arteries have thick, elastic walls. Veins collect the blood from
different organs and bring it back to the heart. They do not need thick walls because the blood is no longer und
pressure, instead they have valves that ensure that the blood flows only in one direction.
On reaching an organ or tissue, the artery divides into smaller and smaller vessels to bring the blood in contac
with all the individual cells. The smallest vessels have walls which are one-cell thick and are called capillaries.
 Exchange of material between the blood and surrounding cells takes place across this thin wall. The capillaries
then join together to form veins that convey the blood away from the organ or tissue.

(a) Thin walls of blood capillaries provide them protection.
(b) Exchange of materials between the blood and surrounding cells take place across the thin walls of blood
capillaries.

3. How are arteries designed to withstand high blood pressure?
9. All living cells need nutrients, O, and other essential substances. Also, the waste and harmful substances need
be removed continuously for healthy functioning of cells. So, a well developed transport system is mandatory f
living organisms. Complex organisms have special fluids within their bodies to transport such materials. Blood

ANSWERS FOR VSA ( 2 MARKS)
1 i)Oxyhaemoglobin
ii)Carboxyhaemoglobin and as carbonic acid(carbon dioxide dissolved in blood plasma)

2 a) Exchange of gases.
b) Because the amount of oxygen dissolved in water is fairly low as compared to the air.

3 i)Decreases
ii)Decreases
iii)Increases
iv)Decreases

4 Adaptation of terrestrial organism over aquatic organism for efficient uptake of oxygen from air –
(i) Increased respiratory surface area.
(ii) Very fine and delicate surface for easy exchange of oxygen and carbon – dioxide.
(iii) Placement of respiratory surface within the body for protection
(iv) Mechanism for moving the air in and out of respiratory surface where the oxygen is absorbed.

6 Separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood allows good supply of oxygen to the body. This system is
useful in animals that have high energy requirement Mammals and birds constantly need oxygen to get energy
maintain constant body temperature
7 Leakage of blood due to injury would lead to a loss of pressure which would reduce the efficiency of the
pumping system.
To avoid this , blood has platelets cells which circulate around the body and plug these leaks by helping to clot
the blood at these points of injury.
8 The number of times a fish opens and closes its mouth will be higher as the amount of dissolved oxygen in wa
is fairly low compared to the amount of oxygen in the air. Therefore, rate of breathing in aquatic organisms is
much faster than in terrestrial organisms.
9 Food A is glucose and food B is Starch.
A is converted to B as B is insoluble form of carbohydrate. It is more compact and hence, suitable for storage.
10 The blood goes through the heart twice during each cycle known as double circulation.
11 Mammals- 4 chamber heart and reptiles- 3 chambered heart.
12 The force that blood experts against the wall of a vessels is called hypertension or high blood pressure.
Sphygmomanometer.

1. Correct answer should be done
2. Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy. Chemical equation: C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO
+ 6H2O +2900 kJ/mole. C6H12O6 = 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + 2ATP. Anaerobic respiration is the ability
an organism to produce energy in the form of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) without using oxygen.
3. i)Kidney
ii)Ureter
iii)Urinary bladder

4. a)Deer that consumes grass have longer intestine as cellulose in grass takes longer to digest. Meat
easier to digest thus carnivores have shorter small intestine.
b) liver produces bile that creates alkaline medium for effective digestion , in absence of bile acidic
foods may cause more acidity and poor digestion. Bile salts converts large fat globules to smaller on
so in absence of bile, fats will not be properly digested.

5. a) X- KOH solution
Y- Germinating seeds
b) carbon dioxide released during aerobic respiration is absorbed by KOH that creates vaccum and
causes rise in the water level in the delivery tube.

6. The number of times a fish opens and closes its mouth will be higher as the amount of dissolved oxygen in wat
is fairly low compared to the amount of oxygen in the air. Therefore, rate of breathing in aquatic organisms is
much faster than in terrestrial organisms.
7. (a)

● Urea is produced as a waste by decomposition of unused proteins in the liver. Our body must get
rid of these waste materials because their accumulation in the body is poisonous and harmful for
● Kidneys are the organs which remove the poisonous substance urea, other waste salts and excess
water from the blood and excrete them in the form of a yellowish liquid called urine.

(b) During filtration, the substances like glucose, amino acids, salts, water and urea etc. present in the blood pa
into Bowman’s capsule and then enter the tubule of nephron. When the filtrate containing useful substances as
well as the waste substances passes through the tubule, the useful substances like glucose, amino acids, most sa
and most water etc. are reabsorbed into blood through blood capillaries surrounding the tubule.

Only the waste substances like urea, some unwanted salts and excess water remain behind in the tubule.
Therefore, reabsorption in the nephrons of kidneys is important.

8.

9. i. Stomata are tiny pores present on the surface of the leaves.

ii. For the purpose of photosynthesis.
Since large amount of water can be lost through stomata, the plant closes the stomata when it does not need
carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.
10. X- Respiration
Y- Photosynthesis
 Z- Transpiration
Loss of water through transpiration develops transpiration pull which helps in accent of sap.
11. i. S
ii. P- Bowman’s capsule, S- Distal convoluted tubule
iii. P- Bowman’s capsule

12. i)Vessels, tracheid, xylem parenchyma and fibers.

ii)The loss of water in the form of vapour from the aerial parts of the plant
13. i)help in the absorption and the upward movement of water
ii) temperature regulation
14. It is a type of complex permanent tissue which helps in food transportation in plants. Sieve tubes , companion
cells , phloem fibre and phloem parenchyma.

c) movement of water in and out of the guard cells regulates opening and closing of stomata.
d) stomata close during the day so that they won’t lose water to evaporation. They open at night to le
in carbon dioxide for the plant to use during photosynthesis the following day.

4. i) Xylem
ii) According to given graph, there is a difference between the rates of transpiration and water
absorption between 00:00 and 06:00 hours because the rate of absorption fell behind the rate of
transpiration during the day,but exceeded at night.
