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

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.

Anaerobic respiration (in absence of oxygen) in yeast is known as fermentation as ethanol (alcohol), carbon dioxide and 2 ATP molecules of energy is produced from glucose

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

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 anterior vena cava collects deoxygenated blood from the head, chest, and arms and enters the right atrium while the inferior vena cava collects blood from the lower body regions_x000D__x000D_Left atrium receives oxygenated blood from diferent parts of body while right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from lungs_x000D_Left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to diferent body parts while right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to lungs_x000D_Left atrium transfers oxygenated blood to right ventricle which sends it to diferent body parts_x000D_Right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from diferent parts of the body while left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to diferent parts of the body

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

Steps of photosynthesis are as follows: (i) Absorption of light energy by chlorophyll. (ii) Conversion of light energy to chemical energy and splitting of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. (iii) Reduction of carbon dioxide to carbohydrates.
