X and Y are two human beings. The organ A in the reproductive system of X releases a mature gamete B once a month which goes into a tube-like structure C through a funnel-like opening. The organ D in the reproductive system of Y makes and releases gametes E which pass through a duct F and are introduced by an organ of Y, into the body of X. B and E fuse together in C to form a new cell G. The cell G divides repeatedly to form a ball of cells H which gets embedded in the lining of organ I of reproductive system of X where it grows and develops into a baby.

(c) Name (i) organ D, and (ii) gamete E.
(d) Write two names of duct F.

(f) Out of X and Y, which one is (i) male, and (ii) female?

Q. The top part A of the flask-shaped reproductive organ X in the flower of a plant secrets a surgery substance into its lower part B which goes towards the bottom part C of the flask-shaped organ. When a tiny grain D coming from the top part E of another reproductive organ Y i the flower falls on part A, it grows a long tube F through the organ X i response to the sugary substance and reaches the bottom part C of flask-shaped organ to carry out fertilisation.

There is a pair of bean-shaped organs Pin 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 I' 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.

Two very small organisms X and Y both by the method of budding. Organism X is industrially very important because it is used in making alcohol from sugar. It is also used in making bread. Organism Y lives in freshwater. If organism Y gets cut into a number of parts accidentally, each cut part can grow to form a complete organism.
(a) What are organisms X and Y ?
(b) What is the name of the process by which X converts sugar into alcohol?
(c) To which class of organisms does X belong ?
(d) Name an important body feature of organism Y.
(e) Which organism is multicellular and which one is unicellular?

In the surgical method of birth control available for males, the structures A in the reproductive system are cut and ligated (tied up) at both ends. This prevents the reproductive cells B from coming out from the organs C where they are made in the male body. Since B cannot come out from the male body, they cannot fuse with cell D in the body of a female and hence pregnancy is prevented.
(a) What are the structures A?
(b) What are the cells B?
(c) Name the organs C.
(d) What is cell D?
(e) What is the name of this surgical procedure for birth control available to males?
