  2. Life Processes in Living Organisms - Part I ✱ Energy from different food components: Various organ-systems perform their functions in human body. Digestive system, respiratory system, circulatory system, excretory system, nervous system. All these system require energy. Energy is obtained from food. Food contains nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, fats. For obtaining energy only nutrients are not sufficient, but oxygen is also necessary. All these foodstuff and oxygen are transported up to the cell via a circulatory system. 1. Carbohydrates: Sources of carbohydrates: Milk, fruits, jaggary, cane sugar, vegetables, potatoes, sweet meats and cereals like wheat, maize, ragi, jowar, millet, rice etc. 1 gm of carbohydrate = 4 Kcal of energy (Kcal = Kilocalorie) 2. Proteins: Sources of proteins: Pulses, egg, fish, chicken, mutton. Animal proteins are called 'first class'  protein. 1 gm protein = 4 Kcal of energy. Proteins are formed by amino acids. Hence on digestion, prote...

  Previous Year Questions: 1. Bulliform cells are responsible for                                                                                              (2024) A) Inward curling of leaves in monocot B) Protecting the plant from salt stress. C) Increased photosynthesis in monocots. D) Providing large space for storage of sugar. Ans. A - Inward curling of leaves in monocot. Explanation: In grasses certain adaxial epidermal cell along the veins modify themselves into large, empty, colorless cells. These are called bulliform cells. When the bulliform cells in the leaves have absorbed water and are turgid, the leaf surface is exposed. When they are flaccid due to water stress, they make the leaves curl inwards to minimize water loss. 2. In the given ...
