Animals in Vertebrata are classified into five classes:
(i) Class Pisces: This class includes fish such as Scoliodon, tuna, rohu, shark, etc. These animals mostly live in water. Hence, they have special adaptive features such as a streamlined body, presence of a tail for movement, gills, etc. to live in water.
(ii) Class Amphibia: It includes frogs, toads, and salamanders. These animals have a dual mode of life. In the larval stage, the respiratory organs are gills, but in the adult stage, respiration occurs through the lungs or skin. They lay eggs in water.
(iii) Class Reptilia: It includes reptiles such as lizards, snakes, turtles, etc. They usually creep or crawl on land. The body of a reptile is covered with dry and cornified skin to prevent water loss. They lay eggs on land.
(iv) Class Aves: It includes all birds such as sparrow, pigeon, crow, etc. Most of them have feathers. Their forelimbs are modified into wings for flight, while hind limbs are modified for walking and clasping. They lay eggs.
(v) Class Mammalia: It includes a variety of animals which have milk producing glands to nourish their young ones. Some lay eggs and some give birth to young ones. Their skin has hair as well as sweat glands to regulate their body temperature.

Distillation refers to the selective boiling and subsequent condensation of a component in a liquid mixture. It is a separation technique that can be used to either increase the concentration of a particular component in the mixture or to obtain (almost) pure components from the mixture. The process of distillation exploits the difference in the boiling points of the components in the liquid mixture by forcing one of them into a gaseous state.
Some important applications of distillation are listed below.
- Distillation plays an important role in many water purification techniques. Many desalination plants incorporate this method in order to obtain drinking water from seawater.
- Distilled water has numerous applications, such as in lead-acid batteries and low-volume humidifiers.
- Many fermented products such as alcoholic beverages are purified with the help of this method.
- Many perfumes and food flavorings are obtained from herbs and plants via distillation.
- Oil stabilization is an important type of distillation that reduces the vapor pressure of the crude oil, enabling safe storage and transportation.

The substances like CO2 and water move in and out of a cell by diffusion
Diffusion is a physical process in which the substance or molecules move from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration. This process occurs in all three states of matter – gases, liquids, or solids and is found fastest in gases when compared to liquids and solids.
Diffusion is one of the important process and essential activity in human organs. Listed below are a few examples of the diffusion process in the living system.
- Movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide gas in the lungs.
- Movement of water, salts, and waste products in the kidneys.
- Movement of calcium from food into cells occurs in the intestines.
- Movement of the molecules during various metabolic or cellular processes.

- Velocity: Velocity is the speed of an object moving in a definite direction.
- The SI unit of velocity is also metre per second.
- Velocity is a vector quantity; it has both magnitude and direction.
- In most cases, objects will be in non-uniform motion. Therefore, we describe the rate of motion of such objects in terms of ‘average’.

Yes, zero displacement is possible if an object has moved through a distance.
Suppose a ball starts moving from point A and it returns back at same point A, then the distance will be equal to 20 meters while displacement will be zero.

Types of Plant Tissues:
Based on the dividing capacity of the tissues, various plant tissues can be classified as growing or meristematic tissue and permanent tissue which have further sub-divisions as explained below:
A. Meristematic Tissue
Meristematic tissues are responsible for growth in plants. Cells in these tissues can divide and form new cells.
Meristematic tissues are of three types:
(i) Apical Meristem: It is present at the growing tip of the stem and roots and increases the length. .
(ii) Lateral Meristem (cambium): It is present beneath the bark. It is responsible for growth in girth of trunk.
(iii) Intercalary Meristem: It is present at internodes or base of the leaves and increases the length between the nodes.
B. Permanent Tissue
- Cells of meristematic tissues change their shape & size to get specialised in performing other functions in plants body. This process is called Differentiation.
- Once the cells of meristematic tissue divide to a certain extent, they become specialized for a particular function.
Permanent tissues are of two types:
Simple tissues and Complex tissues
(i) Simple tissues: This type of tissue is composed of same type of cells.
These are again of four types:
(a) Parenchyma simple tissues: Cells of parenchyma tissues are live. They are oval, elongated and loosely packed with large inter-cellular space, forming basic packing of tissue and are found throughout the plant body.
Functions of parenchyma:
- They provide mechanical support to the plant body.
- They store food and nutrients in vacuoles.
Chlorenchyma: Parenchyma with chlorophyll which performs photosynthesis is called as chlorenchyma.
Aerenchyma: In aquatic plants, cells of parenchyma have large air cavities to give buoyancy to the plant and is called aerenchyma .
(b) Collenchyma simple Tissues: Cells of collenchyma are live. They are oval and elongated and tighily packed with no inter-cellular spaces. They are found below epidermis in leaves and stem.
Functions of collenchymas tissues:
- They provides mechanical support to plant.
- They also provide flexibility to plants so that they can bend without breaking.
(c) Sclerenchyma Simple Tissues: Cells of sclerenchym are dead. They are narrow and elongated. The cell wall in sclerenchyma is composed of lignin which makes it hard. Sclerenchyma are found around vascular bundles, veins of leaves in hard covering of seeds and nuts. For example: Scalerenchyma tissues are found in coconut husk.
Functions of sclerenchyma:
- They help to makes parts of plant hard and stiff.
- Also provides mechanical strength.
(d) Protective tissues: They protect the plant body by forming an outer layer.
There are two types of protective tissues:
1. Epidermis Simple Tissues: Epidermis tissue covers the entire body of plant. They protect plant from injury, germs and water loss.
Cells of epidermal tissue form a continuous layer without intercellular spaces.
Stomata are small openings on epidermal layer of leaf and soft part of stem to facilitate the gaseous exchange and transperation in plants. Each stomata is composed of two guard cells which regulate the opening and closing of stomata.
In desert plants, epidermis and cutin (a water proof waxy substance secreted by epidermis) are thicker to reduce loss of water due to transpiration.
2. Cork Simple Tissues: These types of tissue consist dead cells with no intercellular spaces. They form the outer layer of old tree trunks.
Cork cells have a chemical called suberin in their walls that makes them impervious to gases and water.
Cork tissue protects plants from injuries, germs and water loss.
Cork being light in weight is used for making several products like bottle stoppers and shuttle cork.
(ii) Complex tissues: Group of different type of cells performing common task together are named as complex tissues.
Complex tissues are of two types:
(a) Xylem (b) Phloem
(a) Xylem: This is the tissue that transports water and nutrients from root to upper parts of plant. It is composed of four types of cells i.e., tracheid, vessel, xylem parenchyma and xylem sclerenchyma (fibre).
1.Trachieds are long elongated cells with tapered ending. Trachied cells are dead. Trachied transports water through pits.
2. Vessel is a pipe like structure. Vessels are dead and have lignified thick cell wall. Upper and lower portion of cell wall is absent.
3. Parenchymas are living cells. They store food and nutrients.
4. Sclerenchymas (fibres) are dead cells. They provide mechanical support to plant.
(b) Phloem: Phloem is the tissue that transports food from site of photosynthesis to different parts of plants.
It is composed of four types of cell i.e. sieve cells, companion cells, phloem parenchyma, phloem fibre or blast fibre. Al types of cells are live except phoem fibres.
1. Sieve cells are elongated and have thin cell wall. They have cytoplasm but no nucleus and other organelles. These cells are responsible for transportation of food and nutrients
2. Companion cells have cytoplasm, nucleus and other organelles. They perform the tasks required for sieve cells for living.
3. Phloem parenchyma store food.
4. Phloem fibres have thick cell wall and they provide mechanical support to plant.

Different types of plant tissues include permanent and meristematic tissues.
b>Meristematic tissue:
These tissues have the capability to develop by swift division. They assist in the major growth of the vegetation. Growth in length and growth in diameter of the plant is carried about by these cells. The Meristematic cells are cubical, living cells with a big nucleus. These cells are meticulously crammed with no intercellular spaces. Depending on the section where the meristematic tissues are existing, they are categorized as intercalary, lateral and apical meristems.
- Apical meristem is existent at the growing tips or apical of stems and roots. Apical meristem upsurges the length of the plant.
- Lateral meristem is existent in the radial portion of the stem or root. Lateral meristem upsurges the thickness of the plant.
- Intercalary meristem is found at the internodes or at the base of the leaves. Intercalary meristem upsurges the size of the internode.
Permanent tissues:
These cells have lost their ability to distribute but are specialised to offer elasticity, flexibility and strength to the plant. These tissues can be additionally categorised into:
- Simple Permanent Tissue: They can be classified into sclerenchyma, collenchyma and parenchyma based on their purpose.
- Complex Permanent Tissue: These tissues include phloem and xylem. Xylem is valuable for the transportation of water and solvable constituents. It is made up of xylem parenchyma, fibres, vessels and tracheids. Phloem is valuable in the transportation of food particles. Phloem consists of phloem parenchyma, phloem fibres, companion cells, sieve cells and sieve tubes.
