Solution : Shrinkage of the protoplast of a cell from its cell wall under the influence of a hypertonic solution is CALLED plasmolysis. Hypertonic solution causes exomosis or wihtdrawal of water from cytoplasm and then the central vacuole of cell. The SIZE of cytoplasm as well as central vacuole and hence protoplast becomes reduced. The pressure on the wall is simultaneously reduced and the elastic wall contracts causing a reduction in cell size .This is first stage of plasmolysis called limiting plasmolysis.At limiting plasmolysis the pressure potential `(Psi_(RHO))` is zero and the osmotic concentration of cell interior is just equivalent to that of EXTERNAL solution (isotonic). The cell is called flaccid.
The extra hypertonic external solution continues ot withdraw water from the central vacuole by exosmosis Initially the protoplast withdraws itself from the corners, This stage is known as incipient plasmolysis ,Due to continued exosmosis protoplast shrinks further and wihtdraws from the cell wall except one or a few points. It is known as evident plasmolysis.

Question : Read the given passage and answer the questions that follows: Rhodinus, a blood-sucking bug, shows five instars before it metamorphoses into an adult. It ahs a very long head with the brain located at tip and an organ called Corpora Cardiaca (C C) behind it. The hormone that ensures the continuum of the juvenile stages is calleda juvenile hormone. Behind the head is a pro - thoracic gland, which gets triggered by the Pro - Thoracico - Tropic Hormone (PTTH) to release ecdysone required for molting into an adult. The following observations were made when the juveniles of this insect were subjected to various conditions : 1. Starved juveniles (any instar) when decapitated rarr remained juveniles and did not molt into adults. 2. Well-fed juveniles (any instar) when decapitated rarr molted into adults. 3. Starved juveniles (any instar) when partially decapitated to remove the brain cells rarr remained juveniles and did not molt into adults. 4. Well - fed juveniles (any instar) when partially deitated to remove the brain cells rarr did not molt into adults. If an unfed, completely decapitated, fth (final) instar juvenile is connected to a well-fed, decapitated fourth instar juvenile by a glass tube so that fluids can be exchanged, what whill be the expected result ?

Answer»

Question : Read the following statements and find out the incorrect statement(s). a. The binding of CO_(2) with haemoglobin is related to the partial pressure of CO_(2). pO_(2) is a major factor which could affect this binding. b. When pCO_(2) is low and pO_(2) is high as in the alveoli, more binding of CO_(2) occurs, whereas when the pCO_(2) is high and pO_(2) is low as in the tissues, dissolution of CO_(2) from carbamino-haemoglobin takes place. c. At the tissue site, where partial pressure of CO_(2) is high due to catabolism, CO_(2) diffuses into blood (RBCs and plasma) and forms HCO_(3)^(-) and 11 . At the alveolar site wher pCO_(2)is low, the reaction proceeds in the opposite direction leading to the formation of CO_(2)" and "H_(2)O . d.
