Assertion-ReasoningQuestions:

1.Assertion: Photosynthesis is an autotrophic mode of nutrition.

Reasoning:Inphotosynthesis, plants produce theirown food using sunlight,carbon dioxide,and water.

2.Assertion: Excretion is an essential lifeprocess forthe removal ofmetabolicwastes from thebody.

Reasoning: Metabolic wastes can be harmful if accumulated in the body and may disrupt normal
physiologicalfunctions.

3.Assertion: Respiration in plants occurs through stomata present on the surfaceof leaves.
Reasoning:Stomata allow the exchange of gases between the plant and thesurrounding environment.
4.Assertion: The breakdown offood in the stomach is primarilya mechanicalprocess.
Reasoning:Thestomach churns and mixes food with gastric juices to break it downintosmallerparticles.

5.Assertion: The process of digestion starts in themouth withthe secretion of saliva.

Reasoning:Saliva contains enzymes that initiate thebreakdown of starch intosimpler sugars.

6.Assertion: Aerobic respiration is moreefficient in releasing energythan anaerobic respiration.

Reasoning: Aerobic respiration produces a higher yield of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules
compared to anaerobicrespiration.

7.Assertion: The liveris an excretoryorgan in humans.

Reasoning:Theliverfilters and removes toxins and metabolicwastes from theblood.

8.Assertion: The human heart pumps oxygenated blood to thebodyand deoxygenated blood tothelungs.
Reasoning: The heart has separate chambers that ensure the proper circulation of oxygenated and
deoxygenated blood.

9.Assertion: Plants respireonly during the night.

Reasoning:During the night,plants continuetocarryout cellular respiration torelease energy.

10.Assertion:Thebreakdown of glucose during respiration occurs in the mitochondria ofcells.

Reasoning:Mitochondriaarethepowerhouses ofthecelland playa keyrolein cellularrespiration.
