Question 1.
Compare the circulatory system and blood of frog with that of an earthworm.
Answer:
In Frog blood circulatory system is closed type. Frog have a lymphatic system also. Heart is three chambered – two atria and one ventricle. Blood is composed of plasma and cells. The blood cells are RBC, WBC and platelets. RBC’s are nucleated and contain red coloured pigment namely hemoglobin. In earthworm blood circulatory system is closed type.

Blood glands are present on the 4th, 5th and 6th segments. They produce blood cells and hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is dissolved in the plasma. Blood cells are phagocytic in nature.

  1. Identify and compare two diagrams.
  2. Mention its location and function.

Answer:

  1. A – squamous epithelium
    B – Columnar epithelium
  2. Its locations and functions are
    • Both squamous and columnar epithelium are simple epithelium. Squamous epithelium is made up of a single thin layer of flattened cells with irregular boundaries. The columnar epithelium is composed of a single layer of tall and slender cells.
    • Squamous epithelium is found in the walls of blood vessels and air sacs of lungs and are involved in the functions like forming a diffusion boundary.
      Columnar epithelium is found in the lining of stomach and intestine and help in secretion and absorption.

Question 6.
Compare the excretory System in Cockroach and Frog.
Answer:
1. Cockroach:
Excretion is performed by malpighian tubules. They absorb nitrogenous waste products and convert them into uric acid which is excreted out through the hind gut. Therefore, cockroach is called Uricotelic. In addition, the fat body nephrocytes and urecose gland also help in excretion.

2. Frog:
Excretory system consists of a pair of kidneys. Ureter, Urinary bladder and cloaca. Excretory wastes are carried by blood into the kidney where it is separated and excreted. The frog excrete urea and thus a ureotelic animal.

Question 7.
Mention the mode of respiration in a frog while it is

Question 9.
Give reasons.

  1. Simple epithelium functions as lining for the body cavities, ducts, tubes etc. where as compound epithelium is protective in function.
  2. Cockroach does not possess respiratory pigment.
  3. Frog in ureotelic where as tadpole is ammonotelic.

Answer:

  1. Simple epithelium is composed of a single layer of cells. The compound epithelium consists of two or more cell layers and has protective function.
  2. Cockroach respiratory organ is trachea. These tracheal tubules carry oxygen from the air to all the parts of their body. So they does not require any respirations pigment.
  3. Ammonotelism demands an excess of water in the body. Tadpole is aquatic and there is availability of large amount of water. So tadpole is ammonotelic. Whereas Ureotelism requires only a moderate quantity of water. Frog is semiaquatic. So frog is ureotelic.

Answer the following:

  1. What is the function of nephridia?
  2. How many types of nephridia are found in earthworm based on their location?

Answer:

  1. Nephridia is the excretory organ of the earthworm or pheretima.
  2. There are three types of nephridia in the earthworm:
    • septal nephridia, present on both the sides of intersegmental septa of segment 15 to the last that open into intestine,
    • integumentary nephridia, attached to lining of the body wall of segment 3 to the last that open on the body surface and pharyngeal nephridia, present as three paired tufts in the 4th, 5th and the segments.

Question 3.
Distinguish between the following:

  1. Prostomium and peristomium
  2. Septal nephridium and pharyngeal nephridium

Answer:

  1. Prostomium is the frontmost part of the earth-worm. This is not called a true segment as it doesn’t contain typical organs of an annelida. Peristomium is from where the true segment of the earthworm body starts.
  2. Septal nephridia, present on both the sides of intersegmental septa of segment 15 to the last that open into intestine.

Pharyngeal nephridia, present as three paired tufts in the 4th, 5th and 6th segments Both are same structurally and functionally.

Question 4.
What are the cellular components of blood?
Answer:
Red Blood Cells and White Blood Cells are the cellular components of the blood.

Question 5.
What are the following and where do you find them in animal body?

  1. Chondriocytes
  2. Axons
  3. Ciliated epithelium

Answer:

  1. Chondriocytes are cells of cartilage.
  2. Axons it is the tail like structure of a neuron
  3. Ciliated epithelium is found in the inner lining of bronchioles, Cilia help trap and clear dust and foreign particles.

Question 6.
Distinguish between

  1. Simple epithelium and compound epithelium
  2. Cardiac muscle and striated muscle
  3. Dense regular and dense irregular connective tissues
  4. Adipose and blood tissue
  5. Simple gland and compound gland

Answer:

1. Simple epithelium is composed of one layer of cells, while compound epithelium is composed of more than one layer of cells.

2. Cardiac muscles are present in the cells of heat only. They have contractile property which helps in the pumping action of the heart. Striated muscles are present near articulatory joints. Their role is to facilitate movement of organs like hands and feet.

3. Dense Connective Tissue. Fibres and fibroblasts are compactly packed in the dense connective tissues. Orientation of fibres show a regular or irregular pattern and are called dense regular and dense irregular tissues. In the dense regular connective tissues, collagen fibres are present in rows between may parallel bundles of fibres.

Tendons, which attach skeletal muscles to bones and ligments which attach one bone to another are examples of this tissue. Dense irregular connective tissue has fibroblasts and many fibres (mostly collagen) that are oriented differently. This tissue is present in the skin.

4. Adipose tissue is a type of loose connective tissue located mainly beneath the skin. The cells of this tissue are specialised to store fats. The excess of nutrients which are not used immediately are converted into fats and are stored in this tissue. Blood is a fluid connective tissue. The main function of blood is to transport gases, nutrients and easte products in the body.

5. Simple gland is composed of single cell, while compound gland is composed of multiple cells.

Question 7.
Mark the odd one in each series:

  1. Areolar tissue, blood, neuron, tendon
  2. RBC, WBC, platelets, cartilage
  3. Exocrine, endocrine, salivary gland, ligament
  4. Maxilla, mandible, labrum, antennae
  5. Protonema, mesothorax, metathorax, coxa

Answer:

  1. Neuron is not a connective tissue
  2. Cartilage is not part of blood
  3. Ligament is not part of gland
  4. Antennae is not a masticating part of cockroach
  5. Protonema is thread like chain of cells, all others are about morphological structure of cockroach.
