  1. Nutrition in Animal Animals, unlike plants, can’t make their own food. Getting Food: ● Animals obtain food in various ways, depending on what they eat. ○ Herbivores eat plants. ○ Carnivores eat other animals. ○ Omnivores eat both plants and animals. ● They use various body parts to acquire food, like teeth for chewing, claws for catching prey, or beaks for pecking. Food Processing: ● After consuming food, animals use digestion to convert it into a usable form. ● This process involves: ○ Ingestion: Taking food into the body (mouth). ○ Digestion: Breaking down food into simpler molecules using enzymes (stomach and intestine). ○ Absorption: Passing the broken-down nutrients into the bloodstream (small intestine). ○ Assimilation: Using nutrients for energy, growth, and repair throughout the body. ○ Egestion: Removing undigested food waste (elimination). Importance of a Balanced Diet: ● Just like us, animals need a balanced diet containing carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals for proper functioning and growth. ● The amount and type of food animals require vary based on their activity and lifestyle. Remember:

  2. ● This process of obtaining food and using its nutrients is essential for all animals to survive and thrive.

  3. (a) Fat is completely digested in the (i) stomach (ii) mouth (in) small intestine (iv) large intestine (b) Water from the undigested food is absorbed mainly in the: (i) Stomach (ii) Food pipe (iii) Small intestine (iv) Large intestine Ans.(a) (iii) Small intestine (b) (iv) Large intestine Q.4.Match the items of column I with those given in column II: Column I Column II Food components Product(s) of Digestion Carbohydrates Fatty acids and glycerol Proteins Sugar Fats Amino acids Ans. Column I Column II Food components Product(s) of Digestion Carbohydrates Sugar Proteins Amino acids Fats Fatty acids and glycerol Q5. What are villi? What is their location and function?

  4. Ans. Villi are tiny finger-like projections in your small intestine that boost surface area for absorbing nutrients from your food! They act as microscopic channels, carrying essential nutrients to your blood. Q6. Where is the bile produced? Which component of the food does it help to digest? Ans. Bile is produced by the liver. They function as a network of tiny tunnels, transporting essential building blocks for your body directly to the blood. Q7. Name the type of carbohydrate that can be digested by ruminants but not by humans. Give the reason also. Ans. The type of carbohydrate that can be digested by ruminants but not by humans is cellulose.
