Notes:

# Ingestion:-
Food is taken into the body through the mouth, the process of taking food into the body is called ingestion.

#Digestion:-
The breakdown of complex food substances into simpler food substances is called digestion.

#Absorption:-
The digested food can be passed into the blood vessels through the walls of the intestine, this process of taking up of nutrients into the blood stream is called absorption.

#Assimilation:
The Absorbed substances are transported from the blood vessels to different body parts, where the nutrients are used to synthesize complex substances like proteins which are required by the body. This process is known as assimilation.

#Egestion:
The fecal matter is removed from the anus from time-to-time after the process of digestion, absorption and assimilation of food material. this process is called egestion.





1      #   Different types of teeth and explain their function.
Sr. No.
Name
Quantity
Function
1.
Incision
8
They tear and crush food
2.
Canine
4
They are used for tearing and grasping of food
3.
Pre molar
8
They are used for crushing and tearing food
4.
Molar
12
They are used for grinding and chewing food
  
       Q.1   What is the function of tongue?
The tongue is vital for chewing, tasting and swallowing as well as for speech.
 Q.2  How does saliva helps in digestion?
In digestion function of saliva include moistening food and helping to create a food bolus so it can be swallowed easily. Saliva breakdowns starch into maltose.

      Q.3  Difference between milk and permanent teeth
Milk teeth
Permanent teeth
        a)
They are 20 in number
They are 32 in number
        b)
They do not contain molars
They contain 6 molars each jaw
         c)
They grow in 6 months to 8 years
They are formed in adult human beings
        d)
They shed off and are replaced by permanent teeth
Once shed they cannot be replaced naturally

     Q.4    Explain the digestive system of human beings.
The function of digestive system is digestion and absorption. Digestion is the breakdown of food into small molecules which are then absorbed into the body. The digestive system is divided into two major parts:-
                                                        i.            The digestive track ( alimentary canal) is a continuous tube with two openings:
The mouth and the anus
It includes mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine
                                                      ii.            Accessory organs include the teeth and tongue, salivay gland, liver, gall bladder and pancreas.

CH 1 NUTRITION IN PLANTS # Mind Map:  # Concept Map: #flow chart for nutrients: KEYWORDS: 1.)   Nutrition - is a process by which organisms take in the food and utilize it in order to survive. Based on the mode of nutrition organisms can be divided into two categories. 2.)   Autotrophic Organisms  - They can prepare their food by themselves most green plants are autotrophic in nature. 3.)   Heterotrophic Organisms  - They depend upon other organisms for their food such as animals 4.)   Parasitic Plants  - Some plants live on another plant for their nutrition. These are called parasites. The plants on which these parasitic plants survive are called the host. For Example, cuscuta is a parasitic plant. 5.)   Insectivorous Plants  - Some plants depend upon insects for the food and thus are called Insectivorous. The leaves of these plants are modified into a pitcher like structure. The top

CH.1 NUTRITION IN PLANTS ; (Boojho and Paheli questions)

-
Q. Solutions to Boojho and Paheli’s questions from the text: (NCERT) 1. Boojho wants to know how plants prepare their own food. Ans: Plants prepare their own food by taking up raw materials from the surrounding like carbon dioxide (co2), water, and minerals in the presence of sunlight by a process known as photosynthesis. 2. Paheli wants to know why our body cannot make food from carbon dioxide, water and minerals like plants do. Ans: Our bodies do not have chlorophyll which is required for the process of photosynthesis to make food from carbon dioxide, water and minerals like plants do. 3. Boojho wants to know how water and minerals absorbed by roots reach the leaves. Ans: Water and minerals absorbed by the roots are transported to different parts of the plants through pipe like structures known as vessels that run throughout the roots, stem and leaves of the plants. 4. Paheli wants to know what is so special about the leaves that they can synthesize food bu
