CHAPTER : LIFE PROCESSES ( RESPIRATION )

COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING : -

1. “Respiration” may be defined as a biochemical process in which …………………………….. .

2. It is a catabolic ……….
3. The process of ‘respiration’ can be divided into two parts ………… & …………….
4. Differentiate between :
BREATHING RESPIRATION
The mechanism by which organisms obtain …….. The biochemical process in which
from the air & release ……. ………………………….& …… is released.
It is a …………. process. It is a ………… process.
Exchange of …………. with external ……. takes Breakdown of ………….. ………. with the help of
place. ………… to release ………takes place.
It is also referred to as ………………. It is also referred to as …………….. respiration.
Respiration.
It does not require enzymes. It occurs in the presence of ………….. enzymes.
No ………… is released. Energy is released in the form of ……..

5. The two types of ‘RESPIRATION’ are :

……………. respiration
It takes place in the presence of ………….
………… breakdown of food occurs in this.
Glucose …………………………
The end products in this respiration are …… and
………..
In ………. Respiration , 1 molecule of glucose (
food ) produces ……….. energy-rich ……….
Molecules.
……….. are the site of Aerobic respiration.
………….. respiration
It takes place in the absence of ………….
………… breakdown of food occurs in this.
Glucose ……… …………………
The end products in this respiration may be ……
and ……….(as in yeast plants) , or …….. acid (as
in animal muscles ).
In ………. Respiration , 1 molecule of glucose
(food ) produces ……….. energy-rich ……….
Molecules.
The whole process of Anaerobic respiration takes
place in the ……….. of cells.

6. Differentiate between :-
RESPIRATION IN PLANTS
Plants do not have ……… system.
All the parts of a plant (like root, stem & leaves)
perform respiration ………….
There is little transport of respiratory gases from
one part of the plant to other.
Direct diffusion of respiratory gases takes place
into the cells.
The respiration in plants occur at a ……. Rate.
RESPIRATION IN ANIMALS
Animals have a respiratory …………
An animal performs respiration as a ……….. unit.
The respiratory gases are transported over long
distances .
The respiratory gases are transported upto tissue
cells.
The respiration in animals occur at a …….. rate.

7. Different animals have different Modes of Respiration :

 a. In simple unicellular animals like Amoeba , respiration takes place by the simple ………. Of gases
through the cell ………
b. The respiratory organ in Earthworm is the ……..
c. The aquatic animals like fish , prawns and mussels have …….. as the respiratory organ.
d. In the insects like grasshopper , cockroach and a mosquito , the tiny holes called ………… on their
body and the air tubes called ……….. are the respiratory organs.
e. The respiratory organs of land animals as man , birds , lizards , dog etc are the ……….
f. Frog can breathe both by ……….. and ………..

8. Three common features of all the respiratory organs : -

i. A large surface ……….. to get enough …………
ii. Thin walls for easy ………… and exchange of respiratory ……..
iii. A rich ………. supply for transporting respiratory gases.

9. Mechanism of breathing involves :

INHALATION EXHALATION

10. Differentiate between :

PHOTOSYNTHESIS
It is an ……….. process in which food substances
are ………..
It uses …….. to synthesis food & releases …….
It occurs only in presence of………..
It occurs only in …………. Cells.
RESPIRATION
It is a ………. process in which food substances
are …….. down.
It uses ……. to oxidize the food substance &
releases ……… and ………
It occurs at all times of ……… & ………..
It occurs in all ………… cells.

11. Draw neat well labeled diagram of :

a. Human Respiratory System.
b. The Mechanism of Breathing .
