Case study- based questions

Question 1
Life processes are the basic processes, which are being carried out for the survival of living
entities. These processes are vital for sustaining life. Holozoic nutrition is the process of nutrition
that takes place in organisms which take solid or liquid food inside their body. Amoeba follows
holozoic nutrition.
Holozoic nutrition in amoeba takes place in the following steps:
1. Ingestion
2. Digestion
3. Absorption
4. Assimilation
5. Egestion
1. The fluid that helps in transporting nutrients to all body cells:
(a) Serum (b) Villi

(c) Large Intestine (d) Blood and lymph
2. This has a smaller intestine
(a) carnivore
(b) herbivore
(c) both (a) and (b)
(d) none of the above
3. The process of converting complex into simple substances:
(a) Ingestion
(b) Absorption
(c) Assimilation
(d) Digestion
4. The assimilation process involves:
(a) Breakdown of glucose
(b) Removal of nitrogenous waste
(c) Obtaining energy from absorbed food
( d) Both a and b
5. The food to be egested is temporarily stored in:
(a) Anus
(b) Caecum
(c) Vermiform appendix
(d) Rectum
Question 2
The food that we eat gets broken down into simpler compounds for absorption. There are
various enzymes and hormones secreted by various glands and cells of the digestive system,
which facilitate the digestion of food. The undigested food is expelled out of the body through
the anus. The main organs of the digestive system include the mouth, pharynx, oesophagus,
stomach, small and large intestine, rectum and anus. There are various types of digestive glands
present, e.g. salivary glands, pancreas, liver, etc.
1. The enzymes present in pancreatic juice are
(a) Amylase, Trypsinogen, Peptidase, Rennin
(b) Trypsinogen, Lipase, Amylase, Procarboxypeptidase
(c) Peptidase, Pepsin, Amylase, Rennin
(d) Maltase, Amylase, Trypsinogen, Pepsin

2. Which gland produces bicarbonate ions and Trypsin:
(a) Stomach and liver
(b) Liver and Pancreas
(c) Intestine and Liver
(d) Salivary gland and Intestine
3. Infants’ gastric juice contains
(a) nuclease, pepsinogen, lipase
(b) maltase, pepsinogen, rennin
(c) amylase, rennin, pepsinogen
(d) pepsinogen, lipase, rennin
4.The absorption of fructose by intestinal mucosa is
(a) co-transport mechanism
(b) simple diffusion
(c) facilitated transport
(d) active transport

5.Which of the following is synthesized and stored in the liver cells?
(a) Galactose
(b) Lactose
(c) Glycogen
(d) Arabinose
Question 3
Human digestive system consists of: Alimentary canal and associated glands. The alimentary canal
is 9m long tube and associated glands secrets enzyme which helps in the digestion process. The
associated glands are Salivary gland, Gastric gland, Pancreas, Liver & Intestinal gland.
1. The enzymes found in intestinal juice finally convert
(a) fats into fatty acids and glycerol
(b) proteins to amino acids
(c) complex carbohydrates into glucose

(d) all of these
2. The gland which is exocrine as well as endocrine:
(a) Liver
(b) Salivary gland
(c) Pancreas
(d) Intestinal gland
3. Which out of them work in acidic medium:
(a) Pancreatic juice
(b) Gastric juice
(c) Salivary amylase
(d) Intestinal juice
4. Pick the correct one
(a) Salivary amylase = Saliva + HCl
(b) Pancreas = Lipase + Trypsin + S.amylase
(c) Gastric juice = HCl + Pepsinogen + Renin
(d) Gastric juice = HCl + Pepsinogen + Renin+ mucus

5. Mucus
(a) It is slimy layer
(b) It protects the stomach wall from corroding
(c) Forms inner lining of stomach
(d) All
Question 4
It is a type of nutrition in which organism can make their own food with the help of
photosynthesis as they possess chlorophyll. This photosynthetic pigment can trap solar energy
and can convert it into chemical energy of food.
1. Pick the photosynthetic pigment out of them:

a) Carotene
b) Phycobilin’s
c) Phycoerythrin
d) All
2. Where does light reaction occurs:
a) Grana
b) Stoma
c) Matrix
d) Cytoplasm
3. Where does dark reaction occurs:
A) Grana
b) Stoma
c)Nucleus
d)Cytoplasm
4. The first step of light reaction:
a) Photolysis of water
b) formation of ATP
c) Reduction of NADP
d) It depends
5. How many electrons are released from 1 molecule of water in light reaction:
a) 1
b) 3
c) 4
d) 2
Question 5
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.
1. In which of the following groups of organism’s 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
2.Which of the following is a parasite?
(a)Taenia b) Yeast
(c)Amoeba d) Earthworm
3.Which of the following is an example of saprotroph?
(a) Grass b) Mushroom
(c) Amoeba d) Paramecium
4.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.

5.The false foot of amoeba is referred to as:
(a) mouth b) cilia

(c)cytostome d) Pseudopodia
