CHAPTER 11 – Transportation in Animals
KEYWORDS:
Q1. Fill in the blanks:

(i) The blood from the heart is transported to all parts of the body by the
arteries.
(ii) Haemoglobin is present in red blood cells.
(iii) Arteries and veins are joined by a network of capillaries.
(iv) The rhythmic expansion and contraction of the heart is called
heartbeat.
(v) The main excretory product in human beings is urea.
(vi) Sweat contains water and salts.
(vii) Kidneys eliminate the waste materials in the liquid form called
urine.
(viii) Water reaches great heights in the trees because of suction pull
caused by transpiration.
Q2. Match up:
Q.3.Choose the correct options:

(a) In plants, water is transported through
(i) Xylem (ii) Phloem (iii) Stomata (iv) Root hair
(b) Water absorption through roots can be increased by keeping the
plants
(i) In the shade (ii) in dim light (iii) under the fan (iv) covered with a
polythene bag
Q4.Name the following:
1. Name the functional units of the major excretory organ of humans. –

Kidney
2. Name the instrument used for measuring of heartbeats. –
Stethoscope
3. Name the artificial way of waste removal when the kidneys are
damaged or unfunctional. – Dialysis.
4. Name the part which carry blood back to the heart from all organs. –
Veins
5. Name the part which carry blood from the heart to all organs.-
Arteries
6. Name the tissues of a plant which carries water and minerals from
roots to the leaves. – Xylem
7. Name the tissues of a plant which carries food from the leaves to the
other parts of the plant. – Phloem.
Q5. Answer in Short:

Q.1.Why is transport of materials necessary in a plant or an animal?
Explain.
Ans. Transport of materials is necessary for plants or animals because
due to it the nutrients and oxygen are made available to all the parts of
the body. If it does not take place in the body, the body will not be able
to survive.
Q.2.What will happen if there are no platelets in the blood?

Ans.The blood platelets are responsible for the clotting of the blood.
When some injury occurs blood starts flowing. But it clots on its own. If
there are no platelets, the blood will not be able to clot and keep on
flowing. Huge loss of blood ultimately causes death.
Q.3.What are stomata? Give two functions of stomata.

Ans.There are small openings on the lower surface of the leaves. These
pores are called stomata. These openings are surrounded with guard
cells.
Functions of stomata:
1. It helps in the transpiration of water, i.e., the loss of excess water
from the plant.
2. They help in exchange of gases.
Q.4. Why is blood needed by all the parts of a body?

Ans. Blood is needed by all the parts because it contains the digested
food and oxygen in it. It supplies the oxygen and digested food to
various parts of the body to provide essential energy to them which
helps the body to perform various functions
Q.5.What makes the blood look red?

Ans. A red pigment called haemoglobin gives the blood its red colour.
This pigment helps in carrying oxygen to various parts of the body by
blood
Q.6.Why is it necessary to excrete waste products?

Ans. Certain waste and toxic products are formed during functioning of
body cells. The waste products like urea etc. are toxic. When these toxic
materials are not removed from the body, they get mixed with blood
and can damage the cells of body. It is necessary to remove such
poisonous waste materials from our body.
Q7) State the function of valves ?

Ans - Valves prevent the back flow of blood between chambers of heart.
Q8) Observe the diagram and answer the questions:
(a) Name the instrument.

(b) Label the parts A, B and C.
Answer:
(a) The name of the given instrument is stethoscope.
(b) Labelled diagram of stethoscope.
Q9. Answer in long :

Q.1.What are the components of blood?
Ans. There are four components of blood:
(i) Plasma is a liquid part of blood which is yellowish in colour and
contain 90% water. It contains food, enzymes, wastes and proteins etc
(ii) Red blood cells are disc shaped cells containing red coloured pigment
called haemoglobin in it. Haemoglobin helps in transportation of
oxygen.
(iii) White blood cells are the fighting cells which protect us against
bacteria and foreign materials causing infections.
(iv) Platelets help in clotting of the blood
Q.2.Draw the heart also describe the working and function of the heart.
Ans. The heart is an organ which beats continuously to act as a pump for
the transport of blood, which carries other substances with it. The heart
has four chambers. The two upper chambers are called the atrium and
the two lower chambers are called the ventricles. The right atrium
receive blood with carbon dioxide from all parts of the body and pumps
it to right ventricle through tricuspid valve. The collected blood is then
pumped to the lungs for the purification. In lungs, the exchange of gases
takes place and purified blood is sent back to left atrium. It pumps it to
the left ventricle through mitral valve which in turn pumps off the
purified blood to all parts of body through arteries.
Q3) Draw a well labelled diagram of Human excretory system.
Q4) a)What are the different blood groups in human?

(b) Define blood group compatibility.
(c) Make a table to show the donor blood group and recipient blood
group.
Answer:
(a) Karl Landsteiner described that human blood can be divided into four
groups, i.e. A, B, AB and O. These are named on the basis of substance
present in the blood (RBC).
(b)The process of donation of blood from one person to another is
called blood transfusion. Before donation, the blood group must be
matched because transfusion of different groups can be dangerous. The
RBCs of the patient receiving blood will stick together and may cause
death of the patient. This matching of blood group is called blood group
compatibility.
(c ) If a person gets injured and heavy blood loss occurs, there is a need
to give blood of other person to the patient. The person who gives the
blood is called donor while the person who receives the blood is called
recipient.
Blood
Can donate blood to Can receive blood from
group
A A and AB A and O
B B and AB B and O
All the group, i.e. A, B, AB
AB AB
and O
All the group, i.e. A, B, AB
O O
and O
Q5) Does transpiration serve any useful function in plants? Explain.

Ans.(i) It helps to enhance the absorption of water and dissolved
minerals by creation of a suction pull.
(ii) It helps in getting rid of the excess water.
(iii) It helps in transport of water and minerals to leaves and leaves use
the water for photosynthesis. ‘
(iv)It produces a cooling effect on the plant
