Batrachospermum :Origin ,strucutre ,Thallus organisation and reproduction

                                              Batrachospermum Occurrence:-   (1) Batrachospermum is fresh water alga.    (2) It is found in clear, cool, and running streams.   (3) Deepwater plants are dark violet or reddish in color. But the shallow-water species are olive green.   (4) The intensity of light changes the color of pigments.   (5) The thallus is attached to the substratum. Vegetative structure  (1) The thallus of an adult plant is soft, thick, filamentous.  (2) It is freely branched and gelatinous.   (3) The central axis is made up of a single row of large cells. Whorls of branches of limited growth        are developed on this axis.  (4) These branches are filamentous and dichotomously arranged.  (5) The main axis is corticated. It consists of a row of elongated cylindrical cells.   (6) It is differentiated into nodes and internodes.   (7) There are two types of branches that arise from the nodes:       Branches of limited growth        Branches of unlimited growth Batra

Kingdom Monera | Bacteria | Archaebacteria | Cyanobacteria | Mycoplasma Class 11th

Kingdom Monera Characteristics:- Eubacteria A)    Bacteria are the soil members found everywhere, Hundreds of the bacteria found in a handful of the soil. B)    They are also live in extreme conditions like hot springs, deserts, snow, and deep oceans. Where very few other life forms can survive. C)   Mainly bacteria are Autotrophic, chemoautotrophic, and heterotrophic. D)   According. To their shape, these are of 4-types. Coccus:- Spherical shaped bacteria e.g.Stephlococcus. Bacillus:- Rod-shaped bacteria,e.g.:- Bacillus thygrogenesis. Vibrio:- comma-shaped bacteria e.g. Vibrio cholera. Spiral:- Spiral shaped bacteria e.g. Spirilla. Note:- 6 th kingdom classification was given by Robert Woose . He classifies Kingdom monera into two groups Archebacteria and Eubacteria Archebacteria:- Live in halophiles,thermoacidophilous and as a methanogens due to the different composition of cell wall. e.g. Thermoacidophilous-Taq polymerase.which activate at 96c ,Meth

Human Reproductin Class 12th Notes-Male Reproductive Part

                               Human Reproduction The Male Reproductive Part:-                                                 It includes a pair of the testis, glands, and external genitalia. 1. The testis is present outside the abdominal cavity within a pouch-like structure called Scrotum. 2. The scrotum helps in maintaining its temperature - 2C lower than normal body temperature, because it is necessary for spermatogenesis. 3. Each testis has 250 compartments called testicular lobules. 4. Each testicular lobules contain 2-3 seminiferous tubules 5. Seminiferous tubules contain Male germ cells(Spermatogonia) and steroli cells, Male germ cells meiotically divide and form sperms. 6. Leydig's cells provide nourishment to the sperms and secrets of the Androgens hormone. 7. Male sex accessory includes Rete testis, vasa efferentia, epididymis, and vasa deferentia. Sperm release Pathway    The male accessory glands include paired  seminal vesicles , prostat

CBSE Class 12 || Chemistry in Everyday Life || Full Chapter

                               Chemistry in everyday life Medicines or Drugs :-      The chemical substances helping of human body or an animal either from tratment of disease or to reduce suffering from pains,are called Medicines or Drugs . Chemotherpy :-          The branch of science which deals with the study of tratment of disease using medicines ,is known as chemotherpy :- e.g. Cancer tratment. Classification of Medicines :-  Antiseptics :-        The medicines which are used to bring down the body temperature during high fever .e.g. Paracetamol,Novalgin,Quninoe,Aspirin,etc.   Aspirin  NOte :-    Paracetamol is prefered over aspirin as an antipyretics beacause aspirine gets hydrolysed in the stomach to salicyclic acid,which causes "Ulcer" in stomach from where bleeding may take place.                       Paracetamol                                                      Antimalarials :-        The medicines which are used to br

Ovule,Megasporogenesis and Female Gametophyte

                Ovule,Megasprogenesis and Female Gametophyte Ovule :-   Ovule is the Megasprangium of angiosprem in which the female gametophyte or embryo  sac develops. Types of Ovule in Angiosperms :-        Orthotropus :-                                It is the basic type of ovule found in angiosperms ,in which micropyle,chalaza and funicle lie in same axis .e.g. Polygonum .       Anatropus :                     In this type ,the nucelleus remains straight .So micropyle,chalaza from a straight line .                    The ovule completely bends along the funicle and gets fused with it to look onverted.e.g.:-Solanacea.            Amphitropus  :-                          In this type ,the body of ovule is bent only halfway so that it comes to lie at right angle to the funicle .                             The fusion of integument and funicle is very little,and so hilum,chalaza and   micropyle lie apart. E.g- Ranaulculacea. Campy
