TYPES OF ORGANISATION , DIVERSITY IN THE LIVING WORLD, NOMENCLATURE, CLASSIFICATION, TAXONOMIC CATEGORIES
WHAT IS BIOLOGY ?
THE STORY OF LIFE ON EARTH.
WHAT IS LIVING ?
THE CAPACITY OR ABILITY TO PERFORM FUNCTIONAL ACTIVITIES .
LIST SOME OF THE FUNCTIONAL ACTIVITIES ?
CELLULAR ORGANIZATION
GROWTH
METABOLISM
REPRODUCTION
CONSCIOUSNESS
INTERACTIONS
CELLULAR ORGANIZATION
WHAT IS A CELL. WHAT IS IT MADE UP OF ?
A CELL IS A STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL UNIT OF LIFE.
______________________________
IT IS MADE UP OF MASS OF PROTOPLASM AND A NUCLEUS.
WHICH TYPE OF CELL HAS A CELL WALL ?
A PLANT CELL.
WHAT ARE THE 2 TYPES OF CELLS ? ( DISTINCT NUCLEUS ).
PROKARYOTIC ( WITHOUT )
EUKARYOTIC (WITH).
WHAT IS THE ORDER OF LIVING ?
MOLECULES
CELL
TISSUE
ORGAN
ORGAN SYSTEM
ORGANISM
POPULATION
COMMUNITY
ECOSYSTEM
BIOSPHERE
GROWTH
WHAT IS GROWTH ?
THE INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF CELLS DUE TO METABOLIC ACTIVITIES.
WHAT ARE THOSE METABOLIC ACTIVITIES ?
CELL DIVISION
CELL ELONGATION
CELL DIFFERENTIATION
GROWTH IN LIVING ORGANISMS IS _____________
INTERNAL
NEW MOLECULES ARE PRODUCED BY
PROTOPLASM
GROWTH IS _____________ IN PLANTS DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF ________________
INDEFINITE
MERISTEMS
WHAT IS NOT CONSIDERED AS GROWTH ?
INCREASE IN WEIGHT AFTER CONSUMPTION OF FOOD
VIRUS IS NON LIVING IT MULTIPLIES IN ______________
LIVING CELLS
WHICH DEFINING FEATURE IS PRESENT IN ALL LIVING ORGANISMS WITHOUT EXCEPTION ?
METABOLISM
METABOLISM
WHAT IS METABOLISM ? ( CONSTRUCTIVE +…. DESTRUCTIVE -)
METABOLISM= + ANABOLIC - CATABOLIC
WHAT IS ANABOLIC ?
PRODUCTION OF STARCH FROM
CO2 AND H2O IN PRESENCE OF LIGHT
WHAT IS CATABOLIC ?
BREAKDOWN OF FOOD TO RELEASE
ATP ( DURING RESPIRATION )
EX: FOR METABOLIC PROCESS ( MOSTLY INTERNAL EXTERNAL IN SOME FUNGI )
DIGESTION
RESPIRATION
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
REPRODUCTION
WHAT IS REPRODUCTION ?
PRODUCTION OF PROGENCY ( OFFSPRINGS )
LIVING ORGANISMS EXHIBIT WHAT TYPE OF REPRODUCTION ?
SEXUAL
ASEXUAL
VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION
WHAT SPREAD AND MULTIPLY WITH THE HELP OF ASEXUAL SPORES ?
FUNGI
EG. FOR REPRODUCTION BY BUDDING ?
YEAST
SPONGES
HYDRA
EG. FOR REPRODUCTION BY FRAGMENTATION ?
FUNGI
FILAMENTOUS ALGAE
PROTONEMA OF MOSSES
REPRODUCTION IN :
BACTERIA
ALGAE OR AMOEBA
IS EQUAL TO
GROWTH
WHICH LIVING ORGANISMS CANNOT REPRODUCE ?
MULES
STERILE WORKER BEES
IS REPRODUCTION A DEFINING CHARACTER. EXPLAIN ?
NO, BECAUSE SOME LIVING THINGS DO NOT REPRODUCE
NON LIVING OBJECTS ARE BROKEN INTO SMALLER PARTS.
THIS PROCESS IS CALLED ?
WEATHERING
DIFFERENCE B/W SEXUAL AND ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
SUBHEADING WILL BE GIVEN TELL THE DIFFERENCE
FORMATION & FUSION
SEXUAL:
HAS FORMATION & FUSION
ASEXUAL:
NO FORMATION & FUSION
PARENTAL
SEXUAL:
BI-PARENTAL
ASEXUAL:
UNI-PARENTAL
REPRODUCTIVE UNITS
SEXUAL:
GERM CELL
ASEXUAL:
SOMATIC CELLS
OCCURRENCE OF MITOSIS & MEIOSIS
SEXUAL:
MEIOSIS DURING SPOROGENESIS
ASEXUAL:
BOTH OCCUR IN ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
OFFSPRING
SEXUAL:
DIFFERENT
ASEXUAL:
SIMILAR
CONSCIOUSNESS
WHAT IS CONSCIOUSNESS ?
ENVIRONMENTAL STIMULI
RESPONSE CAN BE ?
PHYSICAL
CHEMICAL
BIOLOGICAL
WHICH ORGANISMS ARE AWARE OF THEMSELVES. BEING AWARE ALSO THEMSELVES IS TERMED AS ?
HUMAN BEINGS
___________________________
SELF CONSCIOUSNESS
ORGANISMS ARE SAID TO DEAD WHEN ?
CONSCIOUSNESS IS LOST
INTERACTIONS
WHAT ARE THE 3 TYPES OF INTERACTIONS ?
COMPETITION
PREDATION
SYMBIOSIS
WHAT IS COMPETITION ?
FIGHTING FOR RESOURCES
WHAT IS PREDATION ?
KILLING THE OTHER FOR SURVIVAL
WHAT IS SYMBIOSIS ?
THE MUTUAL BENEFICIAL INTERACTION
EX: LICHENS
DIVERSITY IN TE LIVING WORLD
WHAT IS A SPECIES ?
ANY KIND OF ANIMAL OR PLANT
WHAT IS THE RANGE OF SPECIES ?
1.7 TO 1.8 MILLIONS OF SPECIES
WHAT HELPS US IN REMEMBERING ALL SPECIES ?
TAXONOMY
WHAT IS TAXONOMY ?
IT DEALS WITH IDENTIFICATION, NOMENCLATURE, CLASSIFICATION
IN EARLY DAYS,
TAXONOMY WAS DIVIDED INTO :-
USEFUL
UNUSEFUL
POISONOUS
THE STUDY OF RELATIONSHIPS B/W SPECIES IS CALLED ?
SYSTEMATICS
SO LET US LEARN ABOUT IDENTIFICATION
IDENTIFICATION IS DIVIDED INTO ?
HERBARIUM
BOTANICAL GARDENS
MUSEUM
ZOOLOGICAL PARKS
KEYS
DEFINE HERBARIUM ?
DEPOSITORY OF PLANT SPEICIMENS WHICH ARE DRIED, PRESSED, PRESERVED ON SHEETS.
IN HERBARIUM, THE PLANTS SHOULD BE COLLECTED WHEN AND WHAT ARE THE NESSACERY PARTS ?
IN DIFFERENT REPRODUCTIVE STAGES
___________________________________
LEAVES
FLOWERS
ROOTS
INFLOUROCENSE
FRUITS
IN HERBARIUM, WHAT IS A VASCULUM. WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE ?
IT IS A BOX IN WHICH PLANT SPEICEMENS ARE STORED
___________________________________
THE PREVENT LOSS OF WATER AND DISTORTIONS
WHAT CAN WE USE INSTEAD OF VASCULUM ?
POLYTHENE BAGS
