(a) The fruit juices available in the market are made clarified by treating them with the enzymes- pectinases and proteases. So, they are clearer as compare to those made at home.
(b) Trichoderma polysporum is used to produce immuno suppressive agent cyclosporine A. Monascus purpureus is used to produce blood-cholesterol lowering agents statins.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follows it. Bile juice is stored in a sac called gall bladder, located near its organ of secretion, liver. The gall bladder releases the bile juice into the small intestine whenever food reaches there. Though bile juice is devoid of any digestive enzymes, it is required for the digestion of fats. The fats cannot be digested easily because they are insoluble in water and are present as large globules. Bile juice breaks down big fat droplets into smaller droplets. These are then easily digested by the enzymes released from the pancreas. (a) Which organ secretes the bile juice ? (b) Why is digestion of fats difficult as compared to that of other nutrients ? (c ) How does bile juice help in digestion of fat ? (d) Where is the digestion of fat completed ? (e ) Does bile juice digest fat completely ?

A and B are the two systems of control and coordination in the human body. The messages in system A are trasmitted in the form of chemical substances C which travel comparatively slowly through the blood stream. The substances C are made in tissues D present in the head and trunk of human body. The messages in system B are transmitted by system B usually lasts for a much shorter time as compared to those transmitted by system A. (a) Name the system A. What does system A consist of? (b) Name the chemical substance C. (c) What is tissue D? Name any five such tissues in the human body. (d) Name the system B. What does system B consist of? (E) Name the fibres E. (f) State whether system A controls the working of system B or system B controls the working of system A.
