Match the following:
Column I | Column II
---------------|-------------
a. Tongue | (i) Mucous
b. Gall bladder | (ii) Villi
c. Stomach | (iii) Taste buds
d. Small intestine | (iv) Bile juice
Answer (1)
To solve the given matching question, we need to understand the functions and characteristics associated with each item in Column I and find their correspondences in Column II.
Tongue to Taste Buds (iii) :
The tongue is a muscular organ in the mouth that is covered with tiny projections called taste buds. Taste buds are responsible for detecting taste sensations like sweet, salty, sour, and bitter.
Thus, 'a. Tongue' matches with '(iii) Taste buds'.
Gall bladder to Bile Juice (iv) :
The gall bladder is an organ that stores bile, which is a digestive juice produced by the liver. Bile juice helps in the digestion and absorption of fats.
Therefore, 'b. Gall bladder' matches with '(iv) Bile juice'.
Stomach to Mucous (i) :
The stomach is an organ of the digestive system that secretes a mucous lining. Mucous protects the stomach lining from the acidic environment needed to digest food.
Thus, 'c. Stomach' matches with '(i) Mucous'.
Small Intestine to Villi (ii) :
The small intestine contains structures called villi. Villi are small, finger-like projections that increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients.
Hence, 'd. Small Intestine' matches with '(ii) Villi'.
In summary, the correct matches are:
a. Tongue -> (iii) Taste buds
b. Gall bladder -> (iv) Bile juice
c. Stomach -> (i) Mucous
d. Small intestine -> (ii) Villi
