Q.1. What is a cell?


=VNANoCL=
Ans. Cell is the structural and functional unit of all life forms. It has two main parts : cytoplasm and
nucleus.
Q.2. what is the distinct feature of plant cells?
Ans. Plant cells have årigid cellwall which lies outside the plasma membrane.
Q.3. Why is glycerine used for mounting purpose?
Ans. It prevents the drying up of the cells. Secondly, it is transparent and odouress.
Q.4. What is the shape of onion peel cells ?

the roadside the neighbourhood) would consist of two parts :-
Shoot system above the ground and a root system under the
ground.
Ihe root system is underground, non-qreen and fixes the plant in the soil and absorbs water and mineral
Salts trom it. Itis extensively branched.The shoot system above around has erect part,a stem which is usually
green in colour. Depending upon its nature, the plant may be a herb, (soft and pliable stem) or a shrub(hara
Woody stem branches may arise from near the base) or trees-(havinga thick-woody main stem--trunk). 1he
Stem may be branched or unbranched. It bears qreen expanded parts called leaves at swollen points called
nodes. The part of the stem between two nodes is called internode.There are smalloutgrowths called buds
at the tip of the plant (terminal bud) or in the axilof the leaf (axillary bud). The flowering plants usualy bear
colourful structures called flowers at the tip of the shoot either singly or in groups called inflorescence.
Besides these, the stem may also bear small structures called fruits which contain seeds for reproduction. The
íruits and seeds develop from the female part of the lower after pollination and fertilisation. The stem, branches
and leaves are the vegetative parts whereas flowers fruits and seeds are the reproductive parts.

IExperiment No. A-2.3


AIM OF THE EXPERIMENT :
Tostudy cross-pollinated flower and identify their various parts (Shoe flower/China rose).
A THEORY :
The transference of pollen grains from the anthers to the stiama is called Pollination. It is of two types:
X(a) Self-pollination : Transference of pollen qrains from the anther to the stigma of same bisexual
flower. e.g., pea, balsam, pansy, wheat, rice etc.
(6) Cross-pollination : Transference of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of a flower of
anbther plant of same species. e.g., Petunia, rose, hibiscus, sunflower etc.
Cross-pollination mostiy occurs in unisexual flowers in dioecious plants. But a large number of
examples are available where inspite of bisexuality, plants prefer cross-polination due to maturation of male
sex-organs (stamen) and female sex organs (carpel) at different times. The pollen grains need some abiotic or
bioic agent such as wind, water, insects, birds or animals to bring about pollination. The most common
agents are the wind and insects.
KEQUIREMENTS:

(iv) Flowers have honey or nectar glands at the base of petals.
(u) Pollen grains are heavy, spiny and surrounded by yellow sticky substance called pollenkit.
T'PROCEDURE ÒF POLLINATION :
Observe the enüre flower (after studying its detailed study as in this experiment).
In shoe flower the large,showy scarlet red petals, long scarlet red staminal tube, with distinct knobbed
stigmas attracts the insect. Theinsect sits on exposed stigmas and then moves to the petals. As the insect moves
towards the interior of the flowerin search of nectar, the pollen gets transfered to the body of the visiting insect.
If the insect has already visited a flower, some of the pollen grains sticking to its body get transferred to the
stigmas, thus bringing about cross-pollinàtion. When this insect visits another flower after this, it will cay away
pollen grains of this flower to the new flower toaffect cross-pollination.
Thus, large size insects such as bees,visit theflower in search of nectar and cary out pollination.

The main characteristics of Chordates are :
1. Presence ona notochord, a rod like structure, present in the mid dorsal axis of the body. Except in
few primitive forms in which the notochord persists throughout life, in all others it is replaced by a
backbone or vèrtebral column.
Allvertebrates induding man, have a notochord in embryoníc life.
2. Presence of dorsal hollow nervous system.
3. Presence of tail in
moshchordates.
4. Presence of two pairs of lirgbs.
O. Biood is red due to the presençe of haemoglobin in erythrocytes (RBCs).
6. Reproduction takes place by sexual method.
7. Vertebral column forms the malin ais of their internal skeleton, which may be of bones or cartilages.
