When fireman directs a large amount of water at a high velocity on fire from a hose pipe, they have to hold the hose pipe strongly because of its tendency to go backwards. The backward movement of the hose pipe is due to the backward reaction force of water rushing out through it in the forward direction at a high speed as per the Newton's third law of motion.

Parenchyma cells have thin cellulosic cell walls. Collenchyma cells have thicker cellulosic walls and also may have pectin deposition on corners. Sclerenchyma cells have thick lignified cell walls and are dead at maturity and provide protection to the different parts of the body. Epithelial cells are thin-walled and living.

- Infectious and non-infectious causes:
One of the causes of diseases is the infectious agents, mostly called microbes or micro-organisms. Diseases where microbes are the immediate causes are called infectious diseases. This is because they spread the diseases in the community.
Some diseases are not caused by infectious agents. Their causes vary, but they are not external causes like microbes that can spread in the community. Instead, these are mostly internal, non-infectious causes. Such diseases are called non-infectious diseases. For example, cancer is caused by genetic abnormalities. High blood pressure can be caused by excessive weight and lack of exercise. Different diseases spread by different means and can be treated and prevented at community level.
- Infectious diseases:

Organisms that can cause disease are found in a wide range of such categories. Some of them are viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoans or multicellular organisms, such as worms.

An infectious disease can be spread and is caused by a pathogen. A noninfectious disease cannot be spread and is caused different factors.
Infectious causes: They include the agents like microbes or micro-organisms as the immediate causes which spread the disease from an infected person to a healthy person.
Non-infectious causes: The disease which does not spread by contact between infected and healthy person through air and water, is called non-infectious disease.
Infectious Diseases: The diseases which spread due to infection by micro-organisms are called infectious diseases.
When a disease causing organism enters our body it causes infection, it multiplies and grows in the body called host and micro-organisms multiplies in the host body.
For example: Tuberculosis, tetanus, Common cold, AIDS, etc.
Non-infectious Diseases: The disease which does not spread by contact between infected and healthy person through air and water, is called non-infectious disease.
For example: Cancer, genetic abnormalities, high blood pressure, etc.

Signs and symptoms are abnormalities that can indicate a potential medical condition. Whereas a symptom is subjective, that is, apparent only to the patient (for example back pain or fatigue), a sign is any objective evidence of a disease that can be observed by others (for example a skin rash or lump). A fever is a temporary increase in your body temperature, often due to an illness. Having a fever is a sign that something out of the ordinary is going on in your body. For an adult, a fever may be uncomfortable, but usually isn't a cause for concern unless it reaches 103 F (39.4 C) or higher.

The drawback of Rutherford model is:
It can't explain the stability of an atom. As per the model, the orbital revolution of electrons around the nucleus is not stable as the revolving electrons in orbits will undergo acceleration and emit energy. This will result in loss of energy of electrons and they will ultimately fall into the nucleus.

In unicellular organisms, the cell is capable of performing the different life processes with the help of the different cellular organelles. The division of labour in multicellular organisms refers to the presence of different organ systems that are incharge of taking care of a particular life process. For example, the respiratory system, helps the body in obtaining oxygen from the air and supplying it to the rest of the body.
