The organisms A, B and C can obtain their food in three different ways. Organism A derives its food from the body of another living organism which is called its D, without killing it. The organism B takes in the solid food by the process of ingestion, digests a part of this food and throws out undigested food in the process called E. The organism C obtains its food from dead and decaying plants.

(a) What is the mode of nutrition of

(i) organism A

(ii) organism B, and

(iii) organism C ?

(b) What is the organism like D called ?

(c) Name the process E.

(d) Give one example each of organisms like (i) A (ii) B, and (ii) C.

(e) What is the general name of three modes of nutrition exhibited by organisms A, B and C ?

A unicellular animal P having no fixed shape ingests a food particle by forming temporary finger-like projections Q. The food particle is engulfed with a little surrounding water to form a temporary stomach R inside it. The chemicals S from surrounding cytoplasm enter into R and break down food into small and soluble molecules by chemical reactions. The digested food is absorbed directly into cytoplasm by the process T. The undigested food is thrown out of the body by the rupture of a cell organelle U in a process called V.

(a) Name the unicellular animal P. (b) What are (i) Q and (ii) R ?

(c) Name (i) chemicalS, and (ii) process T.

(d) Name (i) organelle U, and (ii) process V.

There are four organisms A, B, C and D. The organism A eats only the flesh of other animals as food. The organism B can eat grains, fruits and vegetables as well as meat and fish. The organism C can make the food itself from simple inorganic substances present in the environment by utilising sunlight energy. On the other hand, organism D eats only plants and their products as food.

(a) Which organism is (i) omnivore

(ii) herbivore, and (iii) carnivore ?

(b) Which organism is an autotroph ?

(c) Which organism is/are heterotroph(s)?

(d) Which organism can be a producer ?

(e) Which organism is/are consumer (s)?

(f) Give one example each of organisms which could be like (i) A (ii) B (iii) C, and (iv) D

An organism A which cannot move from one place to another, makes a simple food B from the substances C and D available in the environment. This food is made in the presence of a green coloured substance E present in organs F in the presence of light energy in a process called G. Some of the simple food B also gets converted into a complex food H for storage purposes. The food H gives a blue-black colour with dilute iodine solution.

(c) Name (i) green coloured substance E, and (ii) organ F.

(d) What is the process G?
