The portal venous system refers to the vessels involved in the drainage of the capillary beds of the GI tract and spleen into the capillary bed of the liver. Blood flow to the liver is unique in that it receives both oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. In carrying venous blood from the gastrointestinal tract to the liver, the portal vein accomplishes two tasks: it supplies the liver with metabolic substrates and it ensures that substances ingested are first processed by the liver before reaching the systemic circulation.

A zoo (short for zoological garden; also called an animal park or menagerie) is a facility in which animals are housed within enclosures, cared for, displayed to the public, and in some cases bred. The main importance of zoos is their ability to educate visitors and impart a connection to wild animals. ... The connections that people make with wild animals when they visit a zoo help them to care about animals, and overcoming apathy is half the battle towards conservation.

The classification is based on the spore case.
Phycomycetes – These are obligate parasites found in moist and damp places or decaying woods. Example – Rhizopus
Ascomycetes – They are also called as sac fungi. They can be coprophilous, decomposers, parasitic or saprophytic. Example – Aspergillus
Basidiomycetes – Mushrooms are the most commonly found basidiomycetes and mostly live as parasites. Example- Agaricus
Deuteromycetes – They are otherwise called imperfect fungi as they do not follow the regular reproduction cycle as the other fungi. Example – Trichoderma.

The activity of many enzymes can be inhibited by the binding of specific small molecules and ions. This means of inhibiting enzyme activity serves as a major control mechanism in biological systems. The regulation of allosteric enzymes typifies this type of control. In addition, many drugs and toxic agents act by inhibiting enzymes. Inhibition by particular chemicals can be a source of insight into the mechanism of enzyme action: specific inhibitors can often be used to identify residues critical for catalysis. The value of transition-state analogs as potent inhibitors will be discussed shortly.

Living organism are not in equilibrium because system at equilibrium cannot perform work. The living organisms exist in a steady state characterised by concentration of each of the biomolecules. These biomolecules are in a metabolic flux. Any chemical or physical process movessimultaneously to equilibrium. As living organisms work continuously, they cannot afford toreach equilibrium. Hence, the living state is in a non-equilibrium steady-state to be able toperform work. This is achieved by energy input provided lay metabolism.

Through the pores present in the walls of capillaries, some amount of plasma, proteins and blood cells escape into intercellular spaces in the tissues to form the tissue fluid or lymph. From intercellular spaces, it enters into lymphatic capillaries, which join to form lymph vessels, which open into larger veins. Lymph carries digested and absorbed fat from intestine and drains excess fluid from extra cellular space back into blood.

Lactose is a disaccharide. It is a sugar composed of galactose and glucose subunits and has the molecular formula C12H22O11. Lactose is made from galactose and glucose units.
Lactose or milk sugar occurs in the milk of mammals - 4-6% in cow's milk and 5-8% in human milk. It is also a by-product in the manufacture of cheese.

The function of respiratory system is to breathe in oxygen for respiration (producing energy from food), and to breathe out carbon dioxide produced by respiration.
The major organs of respiratory system in human beings are: (i) Nose (ii) Nasal Passage (iii) Trachea (iv) Bronchi (v) Lungs and (vi) diaphragm.
In human beings, air is taken into the body through the nostrils, is filtered by fine hairs that line the passage. When air passes through the nasal passage, the dust particles and other impurities present in it are trapped by nasal hair and mucus so that clean air goes into the lungs. From here, the air passes through the throat and into the lungs. Trachea does not collapse even when there is no air in it because it is supported by rings of soft bones called cartilage.
Within the lungs, the passage divides into smaller and smaller tubes which finally terminate in balloon-like structures which are called alveoli. The alveoli provide a surface where the exchange of gases can take place. The walls of the alveoli contain an extensive network of blood vessels. When we breathe in, the ribs are lifted up and the diaphragm flattens which increases the size of the chest cavity. Because of this, the air is sucked into the lungs and fills the expanded alveoli. The blood brings carbon dioxide from the rest of the body for release into the alveoli, and the oxygen in the alveolar air is taken up by the blood in the alveolar blood vessels to be transported to all the cells in the body. During the breathing cycle, when air is taken in and let out, the lungs always contain a residual volume of air so that there is sufficient time for oxygen to be absorbed and for the carbon dioxide to be released.

Museums are “collection of dead preserved plants and animals for study and reference”.
(a) It helps in gathering the first hand information about the habitat, soil and organisms of the area.
(b) The museum is prepared for preserving plants like algae, fungi, mosses, and ferns, parts of gymnosperms as they cannot be kept in the herbaria.
© Animals are preserved in the museums also. The specimens are fixed in chemical solution. They are preserved for longer duration. The specimens are identified and labelled. They are stored and a catalogue is prepared for future reference. Its objective is to record information and preserve specimens for taxonomic studies.
(d) Animals like snakes, fishes, mollusca, insects and others are preserved in museums. Indian museum was established by Asiatic Society of Bengal in 1784.

(1) Chloroplast are the centres of photosynthesis.
(2) They liberate oxygen which is passed into the atmosphere.
(3) These store fats in the form of plastoglobuli.
(4) These help in maintaining the balance of gases in the atmosphere.
(5) They can change into the chromoplasts to provide colour to many flowers and fruits.

Initially, the stroma was thought to simply provide support for the pigmented thylakoids. However it is now known that the stroma contains starch, chloroplast DNA and ribosomes, as well as all the enzymes required for light-independent reactions of photosynthesis, also known as the Calvin cycle. Most of the enzymes essential in the process of photosynthesis are normally embedded in the stroma and in the thylakoid membranes. The stroma is the fluid-filled space that is surrounding the grana, and is also involved in the synthesis of organic molecules from water and carbon dioxide.

Polysiphonia is a member of the order Ceramiales. The genus Polysiphonia derives its name from the polysiphonous nature of its thallus. The central siphon is surrounded by 4–24 pericentral siphons. Polysiphonia is commonly found as an epiphyte on plants and lithophyte on rocks in brackish estuaries in the intertidal and sublittoral regions. Most species prefer quiet waters whereas some are found in rough or even polluted waters. The filamentous thalli are brownish red to dark purple colored, highly branched and with a feathery appearance. Polysiphonia is a heterotrichous alga having an erect series of branches and a filamentous prostrate section attached to the substratum by means of unicellular rhizoids.

Taxonomy is a science that deals with naming, describing and classification of all living organisms including plants. Classification is based on behavioral, genetic and biochemical variations. Characterization, identification, and classification are the processes of taxonomy.Organisms are classified into similar categories namely kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species.

Plantae is the plant kingdom which includes all plants on the earth. They are multicellular eukaryotes. Typically, they consist of a rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane called the cell wall. Plants also have a green coloured pigment called chlorophyll that is quite important for photosynthesis.

Coronary circulation is the circulation of blood in the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle (myocardium). Coronary arteries supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscle, and cardiac veins drain away the blood once it has been deoxygenated. From the tissue capillaries, the deoxygenated blood returns through a system of veins to the right atrium of the heart. The coronary arteries are the only vessels that branch from the ascending aorta. The brachiocephalic, left common carotid, and left subclavian arteries branch from the aortic arch.
