carbon and energy requirment of the autotrophic organizm is fulfilled by photosynthesis
the carbohydrates are stored in the form of starch
6co2 + 12 h2o ---> c6h12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2o
Steps taken place in the Photosynthesis are Absorpstion of light energy by chlorophyll -- converstion of light energy into chemical energy -- spliting of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen -- reduction of carbon dioxide to carbohydrates
The opening and closing of stomatal pore is in the presence of guard cell
amoba take in food using temporary finger like extentions of the cell surface which fuse over the food particle forming a food vacuole
amoeba reproduce sexually or asexually
which is the enzyme that the saliva contain?
salivary amylase
the digestion in stomach is taken care of by the gastric glands present in wall of the stomach
protein digesting enzymes are call pepsin and mucus
mucus protects inner linning of the stomach by the acid in normal condition
the exit of food from the stomach is regulated by sphincter muscles
the pancreas contain pancreatic juice which contains enzymes like trypsin digesting proteins and lipase for breaking down emulsified facts
the walls of small intestine contain glands which secrete intestinal juice the enzyme present in it finally converts proteins into amino acids, complex carbohydrates into glucose and fats in fatty acid and glycerol
villi increase the surface area for absorption
villi are richly supplied with blood vessels which take the absorbed food to each and every cell of the body. where it is utilised for obtaining energy
in all cases the first step is to break down glucose, a six carbon molecule into a 3 carbon molecule called pyruvate. this process takes place in the cytoplasam
the energy used in respiration is immediately used to synthesis a molecule called atp. which is used to fuel all other activites in the cell
rings of cartilage are present in the throat. These ensure that the air passage does not collapse
the alveoli provides surface where exchange of gases cantakes place
the food coming from the stomach is acidic and need to be made alkaline for the pancreatic enzymes to act Bile juice from the liver accomplishes this in addition to acting on facts
The pancreas secreates pancreatic juice which contains enzyme's like trypsin for digesting proteins and lipase for breaking down emulsified facts
Trypsin converts proteins to amino acid
the exit of the waster material is regulated by anal sphincter
Lipase breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerol
The breaking down of glucose a six carbon molecule to a 3 carbon molecule called pyruvate takes place in the cytoplasam
breaking down of pyruvate in presence of oxygen takes place in mitochondria
exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen in plant's is called diffusion
in human the respiratory pigment is called hemogloin
chlorophyll absorbs light energy from sun
carbon dioxide enters through stomata
photosynthesis is the process where plants make their own food using sunlight, water and minerals
haemoglobin is present in the red blood corpuscles
haemoglobin have very high affinity for oxygen
blood contain a fluid medium called plasma
plasma transports food carbon dioxide and nitrogenouse wastes in dissolved forms
oxygen is carried by rbc
Arteries are the vessels which carry blood away from the heart to various organs of the body
why does arteries have thick and elastic walls?
because the blood emerges from the heart under great pressure they need thick and elastic walls
veins collect blood from diffrent organs and brings it back to the heart
