        Question 15.
        \nWhat is vernalization? Mention any one of its importance.
        \nAnswer:
        \nSome plants require low-temperature treatment for flowering. This treatment is known as vernalization.<\/p>\n

        Vernalization prevents precocious reproductive development late in the growing season and enables the plant to have sufficient time to reach maturity.<\/p>\n

        Significance: Subjecting the biennial plants like sugar best cabbage, carrot, etc to low temperature or cold treatment stimulates subsequent flowering.<\/p>\n

        Question 16.
        \nExplain how the exchange of O2<\/sub> and CO2<\/sub> is achieved between alveoli and deoxygenated blood.
        \nAnswer:
        \nExchange of O2<\/sub> and CO2<\/sub> between alveoli and deoxygenated blood occurs by simple diffusion based on pressure\/concentration gradient.<\/p>\n

        The PO2<\/sub> in alveoli is 104 mm Hg and PO2<\/sub> in deoxygenated blood is 40 mm Hg.<\/p>\n

        Due to the difference in partial pressure, the O2<\/sub> from Alveoli diffuses into deoxygenated blood. The PCO2<\/sub> in deoxygenated blood is 45 mm Hg and in the alveoli is 40 mm Hg. Due to this difference in partial pressure, the CO2<\/sub> from deoxygenated blood diffuses into alveoli.<\/p>\n

        \nExplain the role of the Atrial Natriuretic factor in the regulation of kidney function.
        \nAnswer:
        \nANF is a peptide hormone secreted by the atrial wall. An increase in the blood flow to the atria of the heart can cause the release of ANF. ANF can cause vasodilation of blood vessels and thereby decrease blood pressure. ANF mechanism acts as a cheek on the renin-angiotensin mechanism.<\/p>\n

        Question 18.
        \nWhat is osteoporosis? Mention the common cause that leads to osteoporosis.
        \nAnswer:

          Question 24.
          \nGive a brief account of the absorption of fatty acids and glycerol in the small intestine.
          \nAnswer:
          \nGive a brief account of the absorption of fatty acids and glycerol in the small intestine.<\/p>\n

          Fatty acid and glycerol are insoluble, hence cannot be absorbed into the blood. They are first incorporated into small droplets called micelles. Micelles move to the intestinal mucosa, where they are reformed into very small protein-coated globules called chylomicrons.<\/p>\n

          Chylomicrons are transported into lymph vessels in villi and lymph vessels release these absorbed substances into the bloodstream.<\/p>\n

          Question 25.
          \nExplain the mechanism of coagulation of blood.
          \nAnswer:
          \nBlood has a unique property. As long as circulating inside the body it retains the fluid state however as soon as blood comes out of the body as a result of a cut or an injury, blood is transformed from fluid state to gel state, preventing further loss. This self-regulating mechanism of the blood \u00a1s known as clotting of the blood.<\/p>\n

          The mechanism of blood clotting is explained by various theories out of these \u2018Best and Taylor\u2019s theory is one. According to this theory. four factors are responsible for blood clotting.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Prothrombin: Produced by the liver and present in plasma.<\/li>\n
          2. Thromboplastin: An enzyme released from damaged tissues, present \u00a1n the body tissues.<\/li>\n
          3. Calcium ions: Present in the plasma of the blood.<\/li>\n
          4. Fibrinogen: Produced by the liver and present in plasma.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Chemical events leading to the formation of b; od clot as suggested by \u2018Best and Taylor’s theory can be represented as follows.
            \n\"1st
            \nThe reaction shown above indicates that the inactive Prothrombin is converted into active thrombin by the catalytic activity of the enzyme Thromboplastin in the presence of Ca2. The activated thrombin reacts with soluble fibrinogen, resulting in the formation of insoluble fibrin.<\/p>\n

            The fibrin threads form a mesh-like network in which the blood components get entangled and results in blood clots and thus prevents bleeding.<\/p>\n

            Best and Taylor\u2019s theory doesn\u2019t consider the role of platelets in the blood clotting mechanism.<\/p>\n

            Question 26.
            \nWrite a note on myosin protein.
            \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Myosin (Thick) Filament: length is about 1.6 nm and breadth the 15nm.<\/li>\n
            2. Myosin \u00a1s a polymeric protein, whose monomeric proteins are called meromyosins.<\/li>\n
            3. Each meromyosin has two important parts, a globular head with a short arm and a tail.<\/li>\n
            4. The head with the short arm is called the heavy meromyosin (HMM) and the tail is called light meromyosin (LMM).<\/li>\n
            5. The HMM component projects outwards at a regular distance at an angle from the surface of the polymeric meromyosin; it is known as a cross arm.<\/li>\n
            6. The globular head functions as an ATPase enzyme and has the binding sites for ATP and active sites of actin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              3. Flowers contain a male reproductive organ androecium and a female reproductive organ gynoecium.<\/li>\n
              4. The androecium is composed of stamens which produce pollen grains. The gynoecium is composed of carpels that contain ovules.<\/li>\n
              5. Pollen grain represents the male gametophyte and produces male gametes. The embryo sac in the ovule represents the female gametophyte and bears female gamete eggs and secondary nucleus.<\/li>\n
              6. Fertilization is double fertilization where two male gametes involve in the process, one unit with the egg and the other with the secondary nucleus of the female gametophyte.<\/li>\n
              7. After fertilization fertilized egg develops into an embryo. Ovule develops into a seed that is enclosed in the fruit structure developed from the ovary. Seed on germination gives rise to the sporophyte.<\/li>\n
              8. The life cycle shows distinct heteromorphic alternation of generation between independent predominant diploid sporophytic phase and dependent reduced haploid gametophytic phase.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  Question 32.
                  \nExplain the physical properties of water that govern the transpiration-driven ascent of sap. Explain how these properties help in the ascent of sap or transpiration pull and how a \u201cpull\u201d is achieved.
                  \nAnswer:
                  \nIt is one of the most successful physical theories of the ascent of sap. Dixon and Jolly proposed this theory. According to this theory, the ascent of sap is due to three factors namely,
                  \n(a) Cohesive force of water
                  \n(b) Adhesion of water molecules to the walls of the xylem vessel
                  \n(c) Transpiration pull<\/p>\n

                  A strong intermolecular force of attraction exists between water molecules. Thus water molecules are bound to each other forming a continuous column of water.<\/p>\n

                  There is a force of attraction between water molecules on the inner walls of xylem elements.<\/p>\n

                  Therefore water molecules are attached to the wall of the xylem. It is called adhesion.<\/p>\n

                  Due to the adhesive and cohesive properties of water, a continuous column of water is preserved in the xylem.<\/p>\n

                  Transpiration at the leaf surface forces the mesophyll cells of the leaves to draw water from the neighboring xylem elements. This creates a suction force known as Transpiration pull.<\/p>\n

                  This suction force pulls the water column in the xylem upwards. This ascent of sap is due to the combined effect of adhesive, and cohesive properties of water and transpiration pull.<\/p>\n

                  Merits:<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. The ascent of sap is directly proportional to the rate of transpiration.<\/li>\n
                  2. It is a physical process and does not need energy.<\/li>\n
                  3. Strong cohesive, and adhesive forces are sufficient to prevent the rupture of the water
                    \ncolumns in xylem vessels.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    Demerits:<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. The presence of an air bubble breaks the continuity of the water column.<\/li>\n
                    2. Ascent of sap continues even in the absence of transpiration, as at night times.<\/li>\n
                    3. The strength of the water column is thoughtful against two opposing forces such as gravitation force and transpiration tension.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                        Question 34.
                        \nExplain the events of the C4<\/sub> pathway. Mention any two special features of C4<\/sub> plants.
                        \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

                          \n
                        1. Pathway of CO2<\/sub> fixation in which the first stable compound formed is a 4-carbon compound oxalic acetic acid in the presence of PEP carboxylase is called the C4<\/sub> pathway.<\/li>\n
                        2. It was first observed by Hatch and Slack.
                          \ne.g: Monocots like maize, sugarcane, ragi, and dicots like euphorbia.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                          Mechanism:<\/p>\n

                            \n
                          • In mesophyll cells, CO2<\/sub> is fixed by phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to form the first stable carbon compound called oxalic acetic acid, a four-carbon sugar in the presence of PEP carboxylase.<\/li>\n
                          • Oxalic acetic acid converts into malic acid.<\/li>\n
                          • Malic acid is transferred to bundle sheath cells, where it is converted into pyruvic acid and CO2<\/sub><\/li>\n
                          • The released CO2<\/sub> is used in the Calvin cycle and gets reduced to carbohydrates by the rubisco.<\/li>\n
                          • Pyruvic acid is transported back to mesophyll cells.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                            Question 35.
                            \nWrite the schematic representation of the overall view of the Citric Acid cycle.

                            \n1. Number of \u00c4TPs produced = 2
                            \n2. Number of NADH2 produced = 6 (6 \u00d7 3 = 18ATPs)
                            \n3. Number of FADH2 produced 2 (2 \u00d7 2 = 4 ATPs)
                            \nThe total yield of ATPs = 24
                            \nNote:- Efficiency of Krebs cycle along with its predatory reaction is 30 ATPs.<\/p>\n

                            Question 36.
                            \nDescribe the events of reflex action with a diagrammatic representation of the knee jerk reflex.
                            \nAnswer:
                            \nThe reflex action pathway comprises the following events.<\/p>\n

                            The stimulus is received by a receptor (eg. muscle spindle). An afferent neuron receives signals from this sensory organ and transmits the impulse via a dorsal nerve root into the CNS (at the level of the spinal cord). The efferent neuron then carries the signals from CNS to the effectors.<\/p>\n

                            The stimulus and response thus form a reflex arc.

                            Question 37.
                            \nWhat are hormones? Mention one function each for (i) ACTH (ii) Melatonin (iii) Parathyroid hormone (iv) Thymosin.
                            \nAnswer:
                            \nHormones are non-nutrient chemicals that act as intercellular messengers and are produced in trace amounts.
                            \n1. Adrenocorticotrophic hormone: ACTH stimulates the synthesis and secretion of steroid hormones called glucocorticoids from the adrenal cortex.<\/p>\n

                            2. Melatonin: Melatonin plays a very important role in the regulation of the 24-hour (diurnal) rhythm of our body.
                            \nMelatonin helps in maintaining the normal rhythm of the sleep-wake cycle.<\/p>\n

                            3. Parathyroid hormone: Parathyroid hormone increases the Ca2+<\/sup> levels in the blood. Parathyroid hormone acts on bones and stimulates the process of bone resorption\/ dissolution.demineralization.<\/p>\n

                            Parathyroid hormone also stimulates the reabsorption of Ca2+<\/sup> by the renal tubules and increases Ca2+<\/sup> absorption from the digested food.<\/p>\n

                            4. Thymosin: Thymosin plays a major role in the differentiation of T-lymphocytes which provide cell-mediated immunity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
