Class 7 Chapter 10 Study Notes

The document discusses the respiratory system in organisms, focusing on the functions of various components such as C-shaped cartilage rings, alveoli, and lenticels. It differentiates between breathing and respiration, explaining their processes and energy implications, as well as the distinctions between aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Key functions of the diaphragm and ribcage in the breathing process are also outlined.

1. What is the function of C-shaped cartilage rings present in trachea?


The 'c' shaped cartilage rings are present in the trachea to prevent it from collapsing and they keep
the trachea open for air to come in and out. In humans there are about 15 – 20 C-shaped
cartilaginous rings.
2. What is function of alveoli present in lungs?
Alveoli are the basic functional unit of lungs which carry out exchange of gases. They are richly
supplied with blood capillaries which takes oxygen from lungs and gives out carbon dioxide for
exhalation.

3. Where are lenticels located? What is its function?
Lenticels are the pores present on stem which are involved in exchange of gases.
4. Write functions of the following:
a) Diaphragm b) Ribcage
a) Diaphragm: During inhalation, diaphragm moves down increasing the area of chest cavity
so that more air can fill inside the lungs. During exhalation it moves up to its former
position, decreasing area of chest cavity and thus pushing the air out.
b) Ribcage:
• During inhalation, ribcage rises up and increase area of chest cavity while during
exhalation ribcage moves down reducing area of chest cavity.
• It protects the internal delicate organs like lungs and heart from any injury.

Breathing Respiration
It is a physical process in which oxygen is taken It is a chemical process in which glucose is
in and carbon dioxide is given out. broken down and carbon dioxide is released.
It occurs outside the cells. It occurs inside the cells.
There is no release of energy. Energy is released.

Aerobic Respiration Anaerobic Respiration


It utilizes oxygen. It does not utilize oxygen.
Glucose is completely broken down. Glucose is partially broken down.
End products are carbon dioxide and water. End products are either alcohol and carbon
dioxide (in yeast) or lactic acid (in muscle cells)
More energy is released (38 ATP molecules). Less energy is released (2 ATP molecules).
