A Correct answer
Explanation
The lungs are the primary organs of the respiratory system in humans and
they are covered by a double layered pleura. They are a part of the lower respiratory tract that begins at the trachea and branches into the bronchi and bronchioles. In the main bronchi, hyaline cartilage forms an incomplete ring, giving a "D"-shaped appearance.  The respiratory or gas-exchange surface consists of millions of small sacs, or alveoli, lined by a simple squamous epithelium and white fibrous connective tissue. The lungs feel spongy because of the presence of millions of alveoli inside them. So, i, ii and iii statements are correct. 
So, the correct option is 'Three statements are correct'.

C Correct answer
Explanation

The lungs which form the main respiratory system is a pair of spongy, air-filled organs which is located on either side of the chest in the rib cage. The inhaled air passes through the trachea (windpipe) into the lungs through its tubular branches known as bronchi which further divide into numerous smaller tubes known as the bronchioles.

Which of the following process is responsible for the release of carbon dioxide by the animals?

  1. Respiration

  2. Digestion

  3. Photosynthesis

  4. Reproduction
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

  • During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are changed into energy and carbon dioxide. 
  • Therefore, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere during the process of cellular respiration. Hence, respiration is responsible for the release of carbon dioxide by animals.
So, the correct answer is 'respiration'.

By observing the interdependence of plants and animals and circulation of oxygen and carbon dioxide we can say that

  1. Some day all the oxygen will be used up by the animals.

  2. Some day all the carbon dioxide will be used up by the plants.

  3. The amount of oxygen is increasing and that of carbon dioxide is decreasing in our atmosphere.

  4. The level of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is kept constant.

D Correct answer
Explanation

  • The free oxygen in the atmosphere comes from photosynthesis by green plants, chiefly the phytoplankton in the ocean.
  •  Animals and combustion of organic matter absorb the oxygen and release CO2.
  • This Carbon dioxide is absorbed by green plants which are exhaled by animals.
  •  It’s a dynamic equilibrium. Hence, By observing the interdependence of plants and animals and circulation of oxygen and carbon dioxide we can say that The level of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is kept constant.
So, the correct answer is 'The level of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is kept constant'.

Plants and animals help in maintaining the balance of

  1. Trees and animals

  2. Oxygen and carbon dioxide

  3. Green plants and plant eaters

  4. Water and minerals
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

  • All plants and animals on earth engage in a process called respiration.
  • Respiration combines oxygen and the food created during photosynthesis to produce usable energy. 
  • One of the byproducts of respiration is CO2,  if plants stop to take up CO2 and stop releasing O2, then plants will stop to convert sunlight into carbohydrates, and die.
  • The death of autotrophs would lead to a chain reaction to the death of all higher-order organisms, Hence, Plants and animals help in maintaining the balance of Oxygen and carbon dioxide. 
So, the correct answer is 'Oxygen and carbon dioxide'.

  • All plants and animals on earth engage in a process called respiration.
  • Respiration combines oxygen and the food created during photosynthesis to produce usable energy. 
  • One of the byproducts of respiration is CO2,  if plants stop to take up CO2 and stop releasing O2, then plants will stop to convert sunlight into carbohydrates, and die.
  •  The death of autotrophs would lead to a chain reaction to the death of all higher-order organisms. Hence, Animals will die from the lack of oxygen if plants stop releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.
So, the correct answer is 'Animals will die from the lack of oxygen'.

The energy releasing process in living organisms is

  1. Reflex action

  2. Respiration

  3. Blood circulation

  4. Reproduction
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

  • Respiration is the movement of oxygen from the outside environment to the cells within tissues and the transport of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction.
  •  During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. 
  • The energy released during the reaction is captured by the energy-carrying molecule ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Hence, The energy releasing process in living organisms is respiration.
So, the correct answer is 'respiration'.
