4) The soft food mixed with saliva passes through oesophagus or food pipe by wave like movements called peristaltic movements to the . stomach.
5) The gastric glands in the stomach secrete gastric juice that contains hydrochloric acid, PROTEIN digesting enzyme pepsin and mucus.

6) Bile juice secreted by liver and pancreatic juice secreted by pancreas release into the DUODENUM of SMALL intestine.
7) Emulsification of fats is done by bile juice. Pancreatic juice contains enzyme trypsin for carrying on the process of digestion of proteins and lipase for fats .
8) Complete digestion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins takes place in the smallintestine by intestinal juice.
9) Finger-like projections present in the walls of small intestine are called villi. They absorb the DIGESTED food into the blood.
10) Rest of thefood is sent into the large intestine where most of the water present in it is absorbed from the food.
11) This material is then expelled through the anus which is the last part of the alimentary canal.

Question : What are the major parts in human excretory system ?

Answer»

Solution :Kidneys remove garbage from our body. They ALSO work towards balancing the AMOUNT of vitamins , minerals, fat and protein that are FOUND m the blood. They do this so that our body can easily perform day to day activities.

3 ) Our intestine makes solid waste materials and is excreted through digestive tract.
4) Each day our body eliminates around 1.6 to 1.8 liters of urine which contains liq. uids, minerals and vitamins that are of no use of the body.
5) The bladder of a human body is nearly the same size as the average of human brain.

Question : Biofortification may help in removing hidden hunger .How?

Answer»

Solution :Bio-fortification is the scientific process of helping crop plants, enriched with high levels of desirable NUTRIENTS like vitamins, proteins and minerals.
Micronutrient MALNUTRITION is called hidden hunger, the lack of micronutrients such as vitamin A, zine and iron in the dict.
Bio-fortification is effective in removing hidden hunger and improving the nutritional value of food. SCIENTISTS breed crops whose ediblc parts (seed, tuber and roots) have improved nutritional value.
Bio-fortified foods can contribute to body stores of micronutrients throughout the life cycle. Some example of crop varieties developed as a result of bio-fortification are:
1. Protina, SHAKTI and Rathna are lysine RICH maize hybrids
2. Atlas 66, a proteinrich wheat variety.
3. Iron rich fortified rice variety
4. Vitamin A enriched carrots, pumpkin and spinach
