Class 7 Lesson 6

This document discusses respiration in organisms. It defines aerobic and anaerobic respiration, and explains that aerobic respiration uses oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water, while anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen and produces energy, alcohol, and carbon dioxide. It also defines various terms related to respiration like breathing rate, cellular respiration, diaphragm, exhalation, inhalation, gills, lungs, spiracles, and tracheae. Extra questions ask about the role of hair and mucus in the nose, how gas exchange occurs in breathing, an important function of blood, and organs in the respiratory system. Diagrams of the human respiratory system and mechanisms of breathing are included. An

SCIENCE

CLASS -7
CHAPTER : 6 Respiration in organisms
DEFINE:
1. Aerobic respiration: When the breakdown of food (Glucose) takes place with
the utilization of oxygen it is called aerobic respiration. The end products of
aerobic respiration are energy, carbon dioxide and water.
2. Anaerobic respiration: When the breakdown of food takes place without the
utilization of oxygen, it is called anaerobic respiration. The end products of
anaerobic respiration are energy, alcohol and carbon dioxide.
3. Breathing rate: The number of times a person breathes in a minute is termed
as the breathing rate.
4. Cellular respiration: The process of breakdown of food inside the cell with the
release of energy is called cellular respiration.
5. Diaphragm: It is a large muscular sheet forming the floor of the chest cavity.
6. Exhalation: The process of giving out of air that is rich in carbon dioxide is
known as exhalation.
7. Gills: Organs of respiration in fishes.
8. Lungs: Lungs are the main breathing part of our body enclosed in the chest
cavity i.e., thoracic chamber.
9. Inhalation: The process of taking in of air that is rich in oxygen, into the body is
called inhalation.
10.Spiracles: Cockroach and other insects have small openings on the lateral side
of their bodies which is called spiracles, that help in breathing.
11.Tracheae: Insects have a network of air tubes called tracheae for the exchange
of gases.
12.Ribs: These are thin, flat skeletal structures, surrounding the chest cavity.

EXTRA QUESTIONS:

Q1. What is the role of hair and mucus inside the nose?
Ans. Hair and mucus inside the nose prevent dirt, dust and germs from entering
into the respiratory system.
Q2. How does the exchange of gases occur in breathing?
Ans. Breathing involves the movement of diaphragm and rib-cage. Expansion of
rib-cage and lowering of diaphragm helps in inhalation, and relaxation of rib-cage
being the normal position of diaphragm- helps in exhalation.

Q3. Write one important function of blood.


Ans. The most important function of blood is to transport gases.

Q4. Name various organs found in our respiratory system.


Ans. Nostrils, nasal passage, nasal cavity, wind pipe and lungs.

Q5. Do the plants also respire? Explain in brief.


Ans. Like other organisms plants also respire for their survival. They also take in
oxygen from the air and give out carbon dioxide. In the cells, oxygen is used to
breakdown the glucose into carbon dioxide and water as in other organisms.

Draw and label the following diagrams in your notebook, from your N.C.E.R.T
text book.

Exhalation
3. Fig. 6.11 Roots absorb air from the soil

EXPERIMENT:

AIM: To show that carbon dioxide is produced during respiration.

Things needed: Straw, plastic bottle, lid and lime water.

Method:
1. Take a clean glass or plastic bottle. Make a hole in its lid and fix it on the bottle.
2. Pour some freshly prepared lime water in the bottle.
3. Insert a plastic straw through the hole in the lid in such a way that it dips in the
lime water.
4. Blow gently through the straw for a few times.

Observation: The lime water in the glass or plastic bottle turns milky.
Conclusion: The exhaled air contains carbon dioxide gas because carbon dioxide
gas turns lime water milky.

EXPERIMENT DIAGRAM: Carbon dioxide is produced during respiration.
