LIFE PROCESSES CHAPTER - 06 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Class X Chapter 6 – Life Processes Science Question 1:  Why is diffusion insufficient to meet the oxygen requirements of multi-cellular organisms like  humans?  Answer  Multicellular organisms such as humans possess complex body designs. They have specialised cells  and tissues for performing various necessary functions of the body such as intake of food and  oxygen. Unlike unicellular organisms, multicellular cells are not in direct contact with the outside  environment. Therefore, diffusion cannot meet their oxygen requirements.  Question 2:  What criteria do we use to decide whether something is alive?  Answer  Any visible movement such as walking, breathing, or growing is generally used to decide whether  something is alive or not. However, a living organism can also have movements, which are not  visible to the naked eye. Therefore, the presence of life processes is a fundamental criterion that  can be used to decide whether something is alive or not.  Question 3:  What are o...
