Mechanism of muscle contraction :

  • Mechanism of muscle contraction is explained by sliding filament theory which states that contraction of a muscle fibre takes place by the sliding of the thin filaments over the thick filaments.
  • Muscle contraction is initiated by a signal sent by the central nervous system via a motor neuron.
  • A motor neuron along with the muscle fibres connected to it constitutes a motor unit.
  • The junction between a motor neuron and the sarcolemma of the muscle fibre is called neuromuscular junction or motor-end plate.
  • Neurotransmitter releases here which generates an action potential in sarcolemma.
  • These causes release of Ca++   into sarcoplasm. 
  • These Ca++ binds with troponin, thereby remove masking of active site.
  • Myosin head binds to exposed active site on actin to form a cross bridge, utilizing energy from ATP hydrolysis.
  • This pulls the actin filament towards the centre of ‘A’ band.
  • ‘Z’ lines also pulled inward thereby causing a shortening of sarcomere i.e. contraction.
  • ‘I’ band get reduced, whereas the ‘A’ band retain the length.
  • During relaxation, the cross bridge between the actin and myosin break.
  • Ca++pumped back to sarcoplasmic cisternae.
  • Actin filament slide out of ‘A’ band and length of ‘I’ band increases.  This returns the muscle to its original state.
  • Repeated muscle contraction causes accumulation of lactic acid, produced from anaerobic breakdown of glycogen leads to muscle fatigue.
  • Muscle contains red coloured oxygen storing pigment called myoglobin.
  • Muscle with myoglobin called red muscle fibres, they are also contain large number of mitochondria which can utilize large amount of oxygen stored in them for ATP production also called aerobic muscle.
  • Some muscles possess very less quantity of myoglobin and less mitochondrion hence called white fibres. Amount of sarcoplasmic reticulum is high in these muscles. They depend on anaerobic process for energy.

Aestivation is the mode of arrangement of sepals or petals in a floral bud with respect to the other members of the same whorl.
There are four main types of aestivation. They are as follows:

1. Valvate aestivation: Sepals or petals in a whorl just touch one another. They do not overlap one another.

2. Twisted aestivation: One margin of the appendage overlaps the margin of the next appendage. Such type of aestivation is seen in lady’s finger, china rose and cotton.

3. Imbricate aestivation: Margins of sepals or petals overlap one another but not in any particular direction. It is seen in Gulmohar and Cassia.
4. Vexillary aestivation: It is also known as Papilionaceous type of aestivation.

There are five petals. The largest petal (called standard) overlaps the two lateral petals (called wings) which further overlap the two smallest anterior petals (called keel).

  • Neural tissue exerts the greatest control over the body’s responsiveness to changing conditions.
  • Neurons, the unit of neural system are excitable cells and the neuroglial cell which constitute the rest of the neural system protect and support neurons.
  • When a neuron is suitably stimulated, an electrical disturbance is generated which swiftly travels along its plasma membrane.
  • Arrival of the disturbance at the neuron’s endings, cause stimulation or inhibition of adjacent neurons and other cell.

Cellulose is derived feom O- glucose units, which condensed through beta (1->4) - glycosidic bond. This give cellulose to be a straight polymer therefore, it cannot coil around iodine to produce blue color as starch does.

Outsourcing has emerged as a way of doing business due to global competitive pressures for higher quality products at lower costs, ever demanding customers and emerging technologies. Need for outsourcing can be understood from the benefits which are given below:
Focusing of Attention: Business firms are realizing the importance of focusing on core areas where they have distinct ability and core competence and contracting out the rest of the activities to their outsourcing partners. A business organization needs to decide its core areas and non-core areas. Once they outsource non-core areas, they can focus their attention on selected activities. It will increase efficiency and effectiveness.
Quest for Excellence: Outsourcing enables the firms to attain excellence in two ways: (a) By focusing on activities selected, their excellence in those activities increases. (b) They excel by extending their capabilities through contracting out the remaining activities to them who excel in them.
Cost Reduction: In the age of globalization, cost reduction is of vital importance to survive in the market. Division of labour not only enhances quality but also reduces cost. For example, India is preferred as an outsourcing destination because of cost factors.
Growth through alliance: When some activities are outsourced then these alliance partners invest for the outsourced activities. Business can be expanded by same amount of investible funds as now these funds are to be invested in limited number of activities.
Fillip to Economic Development: Outsourcing stimulates entrepreneurship, employment and exports in the host countries. For example, in India there has been remarkable growth in entrepreneurship, employment and exports that today India is an undisputed leader in software development and IT enable services. But outsourcing is not an unmixed blessing. It has its own limitations. Some of which are discussed below:
Confidentiality: When a business opts for outsourcing, it has to share a lot of vital information and knowledge. This information may be leaked by the outsourcing partner. It may be against the outsourcing firm. It is also possible that the outsourcing partner starts a business of same line after getting such information.
Ethical Concerns: Many a time, outsourcing makes use of child labour and violates labour laws to reduce costs. They also discriminate in wages on the basis of ***.
Sweat Shopping: A firm which goes in for outsourcing actually transfers ‘doing’ skills rather than ‘thinking’ skills. Therefore, they do not create skilled manpower in developing countries but just take maximum benefit of low cost labour by transferring non intellectual tasks.
Resentment in their Home Countries: Outsourcing is being disliked by people in developed countries because the jobs which they could get are being transferred to developing countries through outsourcing. The problem is still more severe if there is problem of unemployment in home country of outsourcing firm.

Redox reactions have many applications in our daily life. The most common example is combustion; where in oxygen gets reduced while carbon gets oxidized like burning of fuels in automobiles etc. Second application is in batteries or electrochemical cells used in invertors and dry cells which use oxidation-reduction reactions to produce an electric current. Oxidation-reduction reactions are responsible for the spoiling of food. Rusting of iron is also an example of redox reaction. The Enzymes in our human body regulate oxidation-reduction reactions occuring inside the body.Photosynthesis and respiration both are oxidation-reduction or redox reactions.
