Assertion-Reason Questions (Life Process)

1. Assertion: Plants can store glucose in the form of starch.

Reason: Starch is insoluble in water, making it an ideal storage form.

2. Assertion: Photosynthesis in desert plants occurs mainly at night.

Reason: Desert plants open their stomata during the night to reduce water loss.

3. Assertion: During photosynthesis, stomata are essential for gas exchange.

Reason: Stomatal pores open and close due to changes in guard cell turgor pressure.

4. Assertion: Amoeba exhibits holozoic nutrition.

Reason: Amoeba engulfs food particles through phagocytosis.

5. Assertion: Salivary amylase begins the digestion of proteins in the mouth.

Reason: Salivary amylase breaks down starch into maltose.

6. Assertion: The stomach has a highly acidic environment.

Reason: Hydrochloric acid in the stomach helps in protein digestion by activating pepsinogen to

pepsin.

7. Assertion: In amoeba, food vacuoles aid in the digestion process.

Reason: Food vacuoles contain digestive enzymes that break down food particles.

8. Assertion: The large intestine is primarily involved in nutrient absorption.

Reason: The large intestine has a high surface area for absorbing water and electrolytes.

9. Assertion: Heterotrophic nutrition is seen in bacteria that rely on dead organic matter.

Reason: Bacteria exhibit saprophytic nutrition by decomposing dead material.

10. Assertion: Ingestion in humans begins in the buccal cavity.


Reason: The buccal cavity contains salivary glands that secrete enzymes to start digestion.

11. Assertion: Carbohydrates are a source of quick energy in the human body.

Reason: Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is readily used in cellular respiration.

12. Assertion: Protein digestion begins in the mouth.

Reason: Saliva contains enzymes like salivary amylase that initiate protein digestion.

13. Assertion: Autotrophic organisms are self-sustaining.

Reason: Autotrophs can synthesize their own food through processes like photosynthesis.

14. Assertion: Chemotrophic bacteria use sunlight for energy.

Reason: Chemotrophs derive energy from chemical reactions rather than sunlight.

15. Assertion: Holozoic nutrition involves the ingestion of liquid food only.

Reason: Holozoic nutrition includes the intake of both solid and liquid food.

16. Assertion: Egestion is the removal of soluble waste products.

Reason: Egestion refers to the expulsion of undigested food from the digestive system.

17. Assertion: Absorption in the human small intestine is a passive process.

Reason: Nutrient absorption involves active transport mechanisms in the intestinal lining.

18. Assertion: The stomach's acidic environment is neutralized by bile.

Reason: Bile neutralizes stomach acid to create an alkaline environment for enzyme activity in the

small intestine.

19. Assertion: All digestive enzymes are proteins.

Reason: Enzymes are specific proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions in the digestive process.

20. Assertion: In humans, digestion is completed in the large intestine.


Reason: The small intestine is primarily responsible for completing digestion and absorbing

nutrients.
