B. Short Answer Type Questions (Page129)
Ch-11 Digestive System ICSE Class-9th Srijan Publishers Biology Solutions
1. Answer these questions briefly:
(a) Which juice is secreted by the digestive glands of stomach?
Answer:-The digestive juice secreted by the stomach is the gastric juice.
(b) Which enzymes digest protein?
Answer: –Proteases. Also called peptidases, proteolytic enzymes, or proteinases , these digestive enzymes break down proteins into amino acids
(c) What are the end products of protein digestion?
Answer:–The end product of protein must be broken down into amino acids
(d) In which part of alimentary canal are fats digested?
Answer:–The majority of fat digestion happens once it reaches the small intestine. This is also where the majority of nutrients are absorbed. Your pancreas produces enzymes that break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins.
(e) What are the inactive forms of pepsin and trypsin?
Answer:–The inactive form of pepsin, pepsinogen, is activated by HCl of the gastric juice, whilst the inactive form of trypsin, trypsinogen, is activated by an enzyme called enterokinase
(f) Where is bile juice formed?
Answer:–Bile is a fluid that is made and released by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Bile helps with digestion. It breaks down fats into fatty acids, which can be taken into the body by the digestive tract
(g) In which part o the alimentary canal does the food become alkaline?
Answer:–Specifically, duodenum is the part of small intestine where it is most alkaline
(h) Which enzyme causes hydrolysis of fat into fatty acids and glycerol?
Answer:–Lipase is a type of enzyme known as a hydrolase and is responsible for catalyzing the hydrolysis of triglycerides (the substrate) into fatty acids and glycerol.
(i) Why is sucrose solution boiled with dil. HCI before testing tor sugar?
Answer:–Sucrose gives a positive test as it is a disaccharide consisting of fructose and glucose. Generally HCL is use to run this test. Note that Ketose get dehydrated faster and hence they give the test faster.
(j) Why does Benedict’s or Fehling’s solution give red-brown or orange-yellow precipitate with reducing sugar like glucose or fructose?
Answer:–When Benedict’s solution and simple carbohydrates are heated, the solution changes to orange red/ brick red. This reaction is caused by the reducing property of simple carbohydrates. The copper (II) ions in the Benedict’s solution are reduced to Copper (I) ions, which causes the color change
2. Give reason for the following:
(a) Man cannot digest cellulose fibers present in the food.
Answer:–Human cannot digest cellulose present in the food because the human digestive system doesn’t secrete any enzymes which digest cellulose
(b) Appendix and caecum are nonfunctional in all human beings.
Answer:–Although it acts as a storehouse for good bacteria. … It harbours bacteria which help in digestion of cellulose. The herbivores entirely dependent on plant material for nutrition have caecum. In case of human we don’t rely entirely on plant material for our food, so it is poorly developed or non-functional in humans
(c) Small intestine is the longest part of alimentary canal.
Answer:–Small intestine is the longest part of the alimentary canal because it is the main organ of absorption and digestion of food. The surface area of the small intestine gets increased because of the presence of villi which gives food plenty of time to break down properly
(d) All proteolytic enzymes are secreted in inactive form.
Answer:–all enzymes are secreted in inactive form to prevent any kind of reaction of the enzymes with other cells or tissues
(e) why are enzymes essential for all living organisms?
Answer:–enzymes are necessary for all living beings because enzymes are the chemical substances secreted by our body for the digestion of food. enzymes help to break down the complex food substances and convert them into simple substances which can be easily absorbed and utilised by our body
(f) Why are enzymes called biocatalysts ?
Answer:–The enzymes are called biocatalyst because it increases the speed of biochemical reaction in an organism. As, the enzymes accelerate the chemical reaction, without changing the state of equilibrium, it is known as the biocatalyst.
(g) Why is there a need for the process of digestion?
Answer:–Why is digestion important? Digestion is important for breaking down food into nutrients, which the body uses for energy, growth, and cell repair. Food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before the blood absorbs them and carries them to cells throughout the body.
(h) Why does intestinal wall bear so many villi?
Answer:–This is to increase surface area so more nutrients can be absorbed. This is also another reason why the small intestine is so long. … Villi/Microvilli = More surface area = more nutrients absorbed
(i) How is bile juice helpful in digestion, though it contains no digestive enzymes
Answer:–Bile is a digestive juice secreted by the liver. Although it does not contain any digestive enzymes, it plays an important role in the digestion of fats. … These break down large fat globules into smaller globules so that the pancreatic enzymes can easily act on them. This process is known as emulsification of fats
(j) why are pepsin and trypsin secreted in inactive form
Answer:–Pepsin enzyme is secreted by gastric glands of the stomach as inactive pepsinogen to protect the cells of these secretory glands from strong protein digesting action of the enzyme. The inactive form of the enzyme is activated by acidic pH of stomach lumen and the stomach wall is protected by mucus lining
C. Long Answer Type Questions (Page 129)
(Ch-11 Digestive System ICSE Class-9th Srijan Publishers Biology Solutions)
Q-1. Define the term digestion. List the food contents that need digestion.
Answer:–The food contents that need digestion are carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. Carbohydrates digestion happens in the mouth and in the intestine. Carbohydrates can be simple like sugars or complex like starch. The final product of the carbohydrate digestion is the glucose that is formed.
Q-2. What is pancreas Mention its role in digestion.
Answer:–During digestion, your pancreas makes pancreatic juices called enzymes. These enzymes break down sugars, fats, and starches. Your pancreas also helps your digestive system by making hormones. These are chemical messengers that travel through your blood
Q-3. Name the parts of alimentary canal and major digestive glands with their location.
Answer:-Alimentary canal comprises of following parts (i) Mouth (ii) Pharynx (iii) Oesophagus (iv) Stomach (v) Small intestine (vi) Large intestine (vii) Rectum (viii) Anus Digestive glands include (i) Salivary glands are situated just outside the buckle cavity and secrete salivary juice into it.
Q-4. Name the enzymes of intestinal juice and the end products of their action during digestion.
Answer :- The proteolytic enzymes of the pancreas, i.e. trypsin, chymotrypsin and carboxy polipeptidase, which are also secreted in inactive forms, continue protein digestion. The end products of protein digestion are amino acids, produced by the action of intestinal and mucosal dipeptidases
