The correct Answer is:
To fill in the blanks in the given paragraph, we will analyze the absorption mechanisms for different substances in the digestive system. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the first blank (i)**: - The paragraph mentions that small amounts of monosaccharides like glucose, amino acids, and some electrolytes like chloride ions are absorbed. - These substances are typically absorbed through **simple diffusion** because they can pass through the cell membranes without the need for energy or specific transport proteins. - **Fill in the blank**: (i) **simple diffusion**. 2. **Identify the second blank (ii)**: - The paragraph states that some substances like fructose and some amino acids are absorbed through a different mechanism. - Fructose and certain amino acids are absorbed via **facilitated diffusion**, which involves specific transport proteins but does not require energy. - **Fill in the blank**: (ii) **facilitated diffusion**. 3. **Identify the third blank (iii)**: - The paragraph indicates that various nutrients like amino acids and electrolytes such as Na⁺ are absorbed into the blood. - This process requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient, which is known as **active transport**. - **Fill in the blank**: (iii) **active transport**. ### Final Filled Paragraph: Small amounts of monosaccharides like glucose, amino acids, and some electrolytes like chloride ions are absorbed by **simple diffusion**. However, some of the substances like fructose and some amino acids are absorbed by the mechanism called **facilitated diffusion**. Various nutrients like amino acids and electrolytes like Na⁺ are absorbed into the blood by **active transport**. ---

Fill up the blanks in the following paragraph by selecting the correct option. Human beings have a significant ability to maintain and moderate the respiratory rhythm to suti the demands of the body tissues. This is done by the neural system. A specialised centre present in the medulla region of the brain called overset((i))"_______" is primarily responsible for this regulation. Another centre present in the pons region of the brain called overset((ii))"_______" can moderate the functions of the repiratory rhytm cenre. Neutral signal from this cenre cen reduce the duration of overset((iii))"_______" and thereby alter the respiratory rate. A overset((iv))"_______" is situated adjacent to the rhythm centre which is highly sensitive to CO_(2) and hydrogen ions.
