Question : Which are the sensory organs for smell and taste ? Give brief information.

Answer»

SOLUTION :The sensory organs DETECT all types of CHANGES in the environment and send appropriate signals to the CNS, where all the inputs are processed and analysed. Signals are then sent to different parts/ centres of the brain. This is how you can sense changes in the environment.
We can smell through nose and detect the taste through tongue.
Nose, is having, mucous, covered sensory Receptor which receives stimuli of smell, It is called smell receptor.
They are made up of olfactory epithelium. It has three types of cells.
(a) Bipolar olfactory nerve cells
(b) Columnar epithelial cells
(c) Mucous gland.
Olfactory receptor are linked with olfactory bulb which is extension of limbic system.
Olfactory bulb is situated at the anterior lobe of cerebral hemisphere, BENEATH ethmoid bone.
Nose and Tongue both recognise soluble chemicals. In gustation (task) and smell, chemical sensations are functionally similar and interrelated.
Tongue, identifies tastes by Taste BUD which possess Taste Receptor.
Each food or drink.s taste is connected with various inputs in brain which gives sensation of complex tastes.

Question : Whichare intermediate processes occurringin Glycolysis andKrebs cycle ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :PYRUVATE which is formed by theglycolytic catabolismof carbohydrates in the cytosol.
Afterit enters mitochondrialmatrixundergoes oxidative decarboxylation by a complexset of reactions catalysed by pyruvicdehydrogenase.
Pyruvicdehydrogenase functions with other Coenzyme. Like `NAD^(+)` and Coenzyme (CoA).
Pyruvic acid `+ CoA + NAD^(+) (Mg^(+2))/("Pyruvate dehdrogenase ") "Acetyl " CoA + CO_(2) + NADH + H^(+)`
Duringthis process, two NUCLEI of NADH are produced from the metabolism of two molecules of pyruvic acid (produced from one GLUCOSE molecule during glycolysis).
The acetyl CoA then enters a cyclicpathway, tricarboxylic acid CYCLE, more commonly called as Krebs. cycle afterthe scientistHans Krebs who first elucidated it.
