 Case Study Questions:
1. Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v).
Heterotrophic nutrition is a mode of nutrition in which organisms obtain readymade organic
food from outside sources. The organisms that depend upon outside sources for obtaining
organic nutrients are called heterotrophs. Heterotrophic nutrition is of three types:
saprophytic, parasitic, and holozoic nutrition.
i. In which of the following groups of organisms’ food material is broken outside the body
and absorbed?
a. Mushroom, green plants, Amoeba.
b. Yeast, mushroom, bread mould.
c. Paramecium, Amoeba, Cuscuta.
d. Cuscuta, lice, tapeworm.

ii. Which of the following is a parasite?
a. Yeast
b. Taenia
c. Amoeba
d. Earthworm
iii. Which of the following is an example of saprotroph?
a. Grass
b. Mushroom
c. Amoeba
d. Paramecium
iv. Heterotrophic nutrition involves:
a. Production of simple sugar from inorganic compounds.
b. Utilisation of chemical energy to prepare food.
c. Utilisation of energy obtained by plants.
d. All of these.
v. ln Paramecium, food enters the body through:
a. Mouth
b. Pseudopodia
c. Cilia
d. Cytostome.
2. Read the following and answer any four questions from (i) to (v).
All living cells need nutrients, O2 and other essential substances. Also, the waste and
harmful substances need to be removed continuously for healthy functioning of cells. So, a
well-developed transport system is mandatory for living organisms. Complex organisms
have special fluids within their bodies to transport such materials. Blood is the most
commonly used body fluid by most of the higher organisms. Lymph also helps in the
transport of certain substances.
i. Which of the following does not exhibit phagocytic activity?
a. Monocytes.
b. Neutrophils.
c. Basophil.
d. Macrophage.
ii. Amount of blood corpusles in changed in dengue fever. One of the common symptoms
observed in people infected with dengue fever is:
a. Significant decrease in RBC count.
b. Significant decrease in WBC count.
c. Significant decrease in platelets count.
d. Significant increase in platelets count.
iii. Why are WBCs called soldiers of the body?
a. They are capable of squeezing out of blood capillaries.
b. They are manufactured in bone marrow.
c. They fight against disease causing germs.
d. They have granular cytoplasm with lobed nucleus.
iv. Name the blood cells, whose reduction in number can cause clotting disorder, leading to
excessive loss of blood from the body.
a. Erythrocytes.
b. Neutrophils.
c. Leucocytes.
d. Thrombocytes.
v. Which of the following is the correct feature of lymph?
a. It is similar to the plasma of blood but is colourless and contains less proteins.
b. It is similar to the WBCs of blood but is colourless and contain more proteins.
c. It is similar to the RB Cs of blood and red in colour.
