A nephron is a fltering unit present in kidney. It has diferent parts like Bowman’s capsule, glomerulus and tubular region (Renal tubule). Glucose, amino acids and salts are selectively reabsorbed in tubular region.

Rice water contains starch, hence when iodine solution is added to rice water it turns blue-black.

The lime water turns milky on passing carbon dioxide gas into it due to formation of insoluble calcium carbonate. When the exhaled air rich in carbon dioxide is blown from mouth into test tube, it reacts with lime water (calcium hydroxide) to produce calcium carbonate and water

Small intestine receives Juices from liver, pancreas and walls of small intestine. Bile Juice from liver emulsifes the fats and makes the medium alkaline. Pancreas and small intestine Juices contain amylase, lipase and tryspin

The examples and the relation of animal group and heart are as Fishes have two chambered heart and exhibit single circulation while three chambered heart of amphibian and reptiles and four chambered heart of birds and mammals exhibit double circulation.

Fishes have only two chambers to their hearts, and the blood is pumped to the gills, is oxygenated there, and passes directly to the rest of the body. Thus, blood goes only once through the heart in the fsh during one cycle of passage through the body.

Among the given options, Amoeba (binary fssion), Yeast (budding) and banana (vegetative propagation) reproduce by asexual reproduction whereas dogs reproduce by sexual method.

Living organisms are well organised structures; they can have tissues, tissues have cells, cells have smaller components in them, and so on. Living creatures keep repairing and maintaining their structures

The opening and closing of the pore is a function of the guard cells. The guard cells swell when water fows into them, causing the stomatal pore to open. Similarly, the pore closes if the guard cells shrink.
