Bile is secreted by the liver and is stored in the gall bladder from where it enters the small intestine via a common duct.

Valves prevent backward fow of blood as they are located at each end of two ventricles and act as one way inlet.

Pancreas secretes pancreatic Juice which contains trypsin, lipase and pancreatic amylase. Trypsin digests the proteins, lipase breaks down the fat droplets already emulsifed by bile salts and pancreatic amylase breaks down the starch.

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

Amylase is the enzyme which helps in primary digestion of starch only.Digestion of starch by salivary amylase into maltose starts in mouth. Oesophagus then pushes the food into stomach.

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.

The oxygen during photosynthesis comes from split water.

They convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates in the absence of sunlight Explanation: Autotrophs obtain the required carbon and energy requirements from carbon dioxide and Sunlight. They combine carbon dioxide and water to form carbohydrates

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.
