6. (a) T (b) F (c) F (d) T (e) T.
7. The volume of air that moves in or goes out in single process of breathing is around
500 mL. This volume is called the tidal volume. During exercise, tidal volume increases
and lowers when resting.
8. The opening of the pharynx to the larynx is guarded by the epiglottis. This opening
closes when we swallow food. It is kept open while breathing.
9. Our body cells require oxygen for oxidation of food to release energy. Oxygen reaches
to cells through Haemoglobin present in RBC.
