Class X Science - Life Processes Worksheet

Answers
MCQ Answers: 1-d, 2-c, 3-b, 4-b, 5-c, 6-c, 7-d, 8-b, 9-a, 10-c

Q1. Respiration vs Breathing: Breathing is physical exchange of gases; respiration is cellular


breakdown of food to release energy. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen and produces CO2, H2O
and ATP. Anaerobic respiration produces ethanol + CO2 (yeast) or lactic acid (muscles).
Q2. (i) Pulmonary veins (ii) Left atrium (iii) Blood flows Left atrium → Left ventricle → Aorta → Body.
Q3. Alveoli and nephrons comparison: alveoli exchange gases; nephrons filter blood and form
urine.
Q4. Aerobic: Pyruvate → CO2 + H2O + ATP. Anaerobic in yeast: Pyruvate → Ethanol + CO2 +
ATP.
Q6. HCl provides acidic medium and kills germs. Emulsification is breakdown of fats into tiny
droplets by bile. Protein-digesting enzyme in pancreatic juice: Trypsin.
Q7. Double circulation means blood passes through the heart twice in one cycle. Separation of
heart sides prevents mixing of blood and supports high energy needs.
Q8(b). Conditions for efficient gas exchange: large surface area, thin membrane, moist surface, rich
blood supply.
Q9(b). Blood transports substances; lymph returns tissue fluid and transports fats.
Q10. (a)(i) Nephrons (ii) Urea. (b) Removal of wastes and regulation of water/salts. (d) Depends on
water needs and dissolved wastes.
Q11. (a) Lime water turns milky faster with exhaled air due to more CO2. (b) Fermentation by yeast
produces ethanol and CO2. (c) ATP is the energy currency of the cell.
