CHAPTER 2 NUTRITION IN ANIMALS TEXTUAL Q-ANS

Unit 3: Nutrition in Amoeba 

Check you progress (Pg 20)  

1. Phagocytosis  

2. protozoa and algae  

3. The nucleus, food vacuole,and contractile vacuole  4. Locomotion and engulfing of food particles  

Unit 4: Nutrition in Ruminants  

Flow chart to trace the path the food travels in  the  

digestive system of a ruminant 



Check you progress (Pg 21)  

1. cattle, sheep, goats  

2. omasum, abomasums, rumen, reticulum  3. abomasum  


4. The partially digested food in the rumen that is brought back again into the mouth for 

chewing 

Unit 5: Role of the Mouth, and Teeth in the Human Digestive system  

Parts/ organs of the alimentary canal 

Accessory digestive glands


Buccal cavity  

Pharynx  

Oesophagus  

Stomach  

Small intestine (Duodenum,  

Jejunum, ileum)  

Large intestine (Colon, Rectum)

Salivary Glands  

Liver  

Gall Bladder  

Pancreas 




1. Root  

2. Crown  

3. Incisors: help to bite and cut food into small chewable pieces.  

Canines: help in tearing the food  

Premolars: help crush, grind food and move it from the front teeth to the molars for  chewing  

Molars: They chew food into small, easily consumable pieces.  

Unit 6: Role of Tongue and salivary glands in the Human Digestive  

system Check you progress (Pg 25)  

1. Amylase  

2. Mechanical/physical digestion and chemical digestion  

3. Incisors, canines, premolars and molars  

4. 32 

Unit 7 : Role of other organs of the Human Digestive System  

Check you progress (Pg 29)  

1. Duodenum, jejunum, and ileum  

2. It prevents the food from entering the wind pipe  

3. To increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients  4. Pepsin  

Unit 9 : Lets Exercise  

Lets Exercise (Answers)  

1. a. Pepsin  

b. crown  

c. Rumen  

d. contractile vacuole  

2. a. Pseudopodia  

b. Hydrochloric acid  

c. Pulp  

d. Peristalsis  

3. a. False  

b. True  

c. True  

d. False  

4. a. ii  

b. i  

c. iv  

d. iii  

5. a. Which enzyme present in saliva acts on starch?  

Amylase  

b. Where is bile stored?  

Gall bladder  

c. Which glands present in the mouth help in the breakdown of food?  

Salivary glands  

d. Which group of animals have a four-chambered stomach?  Ruminants 

e. Which finger-like projections are found on the inner lining of the small intestine?  

Villi  

6. a. What is Phagocytosis?  

The process of engulfing a food particle and breaking it down inside a cell is  known as phagocytosis.  

b. What is holozoic nutrition?  

In holozoic nutrition an animal consumes solid or liquid food which is broken down  or digested by the body into simpler substances. Useful substances are absorbed  by the body while the undigested and harmful substances are thrown out.  

c. What are the different chambers of a ruminant’s stomach?  

There are four chambers of a ruminant’s stomach – 1) Rumen  

2) Reticulum 3)Omasum 4)Abomasum  

d. Name the glands which help in the digestion of food in the small intestine of  humans.  

Liver and Pancreas  

7. a. Hydrochloric acid does not corrode the lining of the stomach. The mucous lining of  the stomach protects it from the corrosive effects of the acids.  

b. It is advisable to brush our teeth twice a day.  

Bacteria are naturally present in our mouth. They act on the food particles  present in the gaps between our teeth and form a sticky yellowish layer  

on the teeth known as plaque.  

The sugar and starch in the food items are converted to acids by the plaque. These  acids corrode the enamel and may cause tooth decay and cavities. In order to  prevent the formation of plaque and tooth decay, we must brush our teeth twice a  day to remove all residual food particles  

8. a. Explain parasitic nutrition with examples.  

Refer to pg 17  

b. Write a note on the small intestine and its role in digestion of food.  

Refer to pg 28  

c. Explain the steps in Nutrition.  

Refer to pg 19  

d. What is the function of the large intestine in the digestion of food in human  beings?  

Refer to pg 28  

9. a. Refer to pg 22 

b.  

Types of teeth  


Molars  

to chew  

food into small,  

easily  

consumable  

pieces  

12 

10.  

Incisors  

help to bite and  cut  

food into small  chewable  

pieces.  

8  

Canines  

tearing the  food.  

4  

Premolars  

to crush and  grind and  

food and  

move it to the  molars for  

chewing.

Test Tube 

colour of iodine  

solution

Conclusion 

blue-black 

Starch is present in the tube and 



has not been broken down 

colourless 

starch present in the potato  

is acted upon/ digested by  

the amylase



11. Anushka is correct. It is important to chew our food as digestion takes place in the  

mouth and chewing the food ensures that the starch present in it is broken down.  Knowledge, Awareness and Care
