(i) Intracellular digestion, occurs inside the living cells with the help of lysosomal enzymes. Food particle is taken in through endocytosis. It forms a phagosome, which fuses with a lysosome. The digested material pass into the cytoplasm. The undigested matter is thrown out by exocytosis. It occurs in Amoeba, Paramecium, etc.
(ii) Extracellular digestion In case of coelenterates digestion occurs in gastrovascular cavity. This cavity has gland cells which secrete digestive enzymes over the food. The partially digested fragmented food particles are ingested by nutritive cells. It occurs in Hydra, Aurelia, etc.

1. The new plants produced by artificial vegetative propagation will be exactly like the parent plants. Any desirable feature of the parent plant will be replicated in the new plants. 2. The fruit trees grown form seed may take many years before they start to bear fruit. But the fruit trees grown form cuttings or by grafting start to bear fruits much earlier. 3. The plants grown by vegetative propagation usually need less attention in their early year than the plants grown from seeds. 4. Many plants can be grown from just one parent plants by artificial propagation. 5 we can also get seedless plant by artificial propagation.

The citric acid cycle, shown in —also known as the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle) or the Krebs cycle—is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetate—derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins—into carbon dioxide. The cycle provides precursors including certain amino acids as well as the reducing agent NADH that is used in numerous biochemical reactions. Its central importance to many biochemical pathways suggests that it was one of the earliest established components of cellular metabolism; it may have originated abiogenically.

It is the pulling force responsible for lifting the water column. As water is lost in form of water vapour to atmosphere from the mesophyll cells by transpiration, a negative hydrostatic pressure is created in the mesophyll cells which in turn draw water from veins of the leaves.
The negative tension is then gradually transmitted downwards via xylem tissues of the leaf, stem and finally to the roots. As a result there is a continuous upward movement of water column in the plant. 1 atm. pressure can raise water to a height of more than 32ft. So a tension of 13 atm is needed to raise water to a height of 416 feet, scientist have measured this tension to be more than 75 atm. in case of trees, more than 400 feet in height.
Thus the transpiration pull acts as pull from above on the-whole of water column of the plant which pushes the water column of xylem vessels of roots lowers leaves i.e. in an upward direction. This is how ascent of sap is affected in plants.
The whole process can be compared to a person (transpiration pull) pulling a bucket full of water with a steel rope (unbroken and continuous water column)

Micronutrients are needed in very small Amounts by the plants, but if their concentration decreases, then it causes deficiency symptoms and if it increases it causes toxicity. The nutrient is considered to be toxic which reduces the dry weight of tissue by about 10 percent.Nutrients that plants require in larger amounts are called macronutrients. About half of the essential elements are considered macronutrients: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur.

Osmosis is the process in which solvent molecules moves through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration until the amount of fluid is equalised on both sides of the semipermeable membrane.  

The fluid that passes through the semipermeable membrane is known as the solvent, while the dissolved substance in the fluid is known as the solute.  The mixture of solvent and solute makes up a solution.

 

Ayushi Ayushi 7 years ago

Osmosis is a vital process in biological systems, as biological membranes are semipermeable. In general, these membranes are impermeable to large and polar molecules, such as ions, proteins, and polysaccharides, while being permeable to non-polar or hydrophobic molecules like lipids as well as to small molecules like oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and nitric oxide. Permeability depends on solubility, charge, or chemistry, as well as solute size. Water molecules travel through the plasma membrane, tonoplast membrane (vacuole) or protoplast by diffusing across the phospholipid bilayer via aquaporins (small transmembrane proteins similar to those responsible for facilitated diffusion and ion channels). Osmosis provides the primary means by which water is transported into and out of cells. The turgor pressure of a cell is largely maintained by osmosis across the cell membrane between the cell interior and its relatively hypotonic environment.

-The helical polypeptide molecules may fold in itself and assumes a complex but specific form. -it may be rod shaped or spherical or any other form. These specific geometrical shapes are known as tertiary structure of proteins. -It is 3D structure of proteins. -It is maintained by disulphite bond and H bond,ionic bond,hydrophobic interaction, hydrophilic interaction, vanderwall force Tertiary structure is affected by:- PH, temperature, chemical The tertiary structure is mainly observerd in globular proteins

Yogita Ingle 7 years ago

  • Bonds between neighboring amino acids results in further folded structure
  • Tertiary structure depends upon the primary structure
  • Creates active sites of enzymatic proteins
  • Some of the tertiary structures are spherical forming Globular proteins; while some others are like long fibers forming Fibrous proteins

This is also known as unit membrane model. This model was proposed by Davson Daniell and Robertson. When surface tension measurements made on the membranes, it suggests the presence of proteins. After the existence of proteins the initial lipid bilayer model proposed by Gorter and Grendel was modified. It was suggested that surface tension of cells is much lower than what one would expect if only lipids were involved. It may also be observed that if protein is added to model lipid water system, surface tension is lowered. This suggested indirectly the presence of proteins. On this basis Davson and Danielli proposed that plasma membrane contained a lipid bilayer with protein on both surfaces. Initially they supposed that proteins existed as covalently bonded globular structures bound to the polar ends of lipids. Subsequently they developed the model in which the protein appears to be smeared over the hydrophilic ends of the lipid bilayer. This model makes its popularity for a long time. With the availability of electron microscope later, fine structure of plasma membrane could be studied. Definite plasma membrane of 6 nm to 10 nm (10nm = 100 Å; 1 nm = 10_6mm) thickness was observed on surface of all cells, and plasma membranes of two adjacent cells were found to be separated by a space, 1-15nm wide.

2. Unit Membrane Model (Protein-Lipid Bilayer-Protein):

Kunal Bhardwaj 7 years ago

The following points highlight the top four historical models of Plasma Membrane. The models are: 1. Lipid and Lipid Bilayer Models 2. Unit Membrane Model (Protein-Lipid Bilayer-Protein) 3. Fluid Mosaic Model 4. Dannelli Model. 1. Lipid and Lipid Bilayer Model: This model to explain the structure of plasma membrane was given by Overton, Gorion and Grendel. Previously only indirect information was available to explain the structure of plasma membrane. In 1902, Overton observed that substances soluble in lipid could selectively pass through the membranes. On this basis he stated that plasma membrane is composed of a thin layer of lipid. Subsequently, Gorter and Grendel in 1926 observed that the extracted from erythrocyte membranes was twice the amount expected if a single layer was present throughout the surface area of these cells. On this basis they stated that plasma membrane is made up of double layer of lipid molecules. These models of Gorter and Grendel could not explain the proper structure of plasma membrane but they put the foundation of future models of membrane structure.
