The animal Q can stay in water as well as on land and can breathe both, through moist skin and lungs. The animal R lives in soil and breathes only through its skin. The animal S lives on land and breathes through spiracles and tracheae. And animal T lives in water and breathes through its cell membrane.

Some sugar solution is taken in a test-tube and a little of substance X in powder form is added to it. The mouth of test-tube is closed with a cork and allowed to stand for sometime. On opening the cork, a characteristic smell of substance Y is obtained and a gas Z is also observed to be formed. The gas Z extinguishes a burning matchstick.
(a) What could be (i) X, (ii) Y, and (iii) Z?
(b) What is the process of converting sugar into substance Y by the action of X known as?
(c) What type of respiration is exhibited by X in the above process?
An organism X having breathing organs A lives on land. When organism X goes underwater, it cannot survive for a long time unless carrying an oxygen cylinder. On the other hand, the organism Y having breathing organs B always lives in water and if taken out of the water, it dies after a short while. A third organism Z having breathing organs C and D which lives on the banks of ponds, lakes, and rivers can survive on land as well as in water equally well.
(a) What could organism X be? Name the breathing organs A.
(b) What could organism Y be? Name the breathing organs B.
(c) What could organism Z be? Name the breathing organs C and D.

With which human organ system (or human systems) is alveoli associated?
There is a pair of bean-shaped organs P in the human body towards the back, just above the waist. A waste product Q formed by the decomposition of unused proteins in the liver is brought into organ P through blood by an artery R. The numerous tiny filters S present in organ P clean the dirty blood by removing the waste product Q. The clean blood goes into circulation through a vein T. The waste substance Q, other waste salts, and excess water form a yellowish liquid U which goes from organ P into a bag-like structure V through two tubes W. This liquid is then thrown out of the body through a tube X.
