Question : Osmotic pressure and osmatic potential

Answer»

SOLUTION :The hydrostatic pressure which balances and prevents the OSMOTIC inflow of water into concentrated solution is called osmotic pressure. Osmotic POTENTIAL is the potential of a solution to cause water movement into it across a partially permeable membrane as a result of DISSOLVED SOLUTES

Question :Osmosis and Imbibition

Answer»

Solution :Osmosis is a physiological PROCESS that occurs due to osmotic pressure gradient. A semipermeable MEMBRANE involvement is essential for the process. In it. water diffuses only in liquid FORM and no heat is generated in the process. Whereas imbibition is a physical process that occurs due to various phenomena-diffusion, capillary force and surface tension Presence of semipermeable membrane is not essential for the process. In it, water is absorbed/imbibed in liquid as WELL as in vapour form and heat is generated in the process.

Answer»

METHANOGENS
Halophiles
heliophytes 
thermoacidophiles 

Solution :Halophiles are organisms that live in areas of high concentration of salts. The name halophilesis originated from the greek word that means .salt loving..
Whereas heliophytes are the plants that GROW best in sunlight and can not survive in salty conditions.
Methanogens are the bacteria that produces methane as a METABOLIC by products in anaerobic conditions.
Thermoacidophiles are archaebacteria striving under strong ACIDIC environments and high temperatures, but can not tolerate high salt concentrations AROUND them.

Question : Viruses are living or non - living?

Answer»

Solution :Viruses are microscopic organisms that have characteristics of both living and non-living.
A virus consists of a strand of DNA or RNA covered by a protein coat.
This presence of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) SUGGESTS that viruses are alive.
In addition, they can also a RESPOND to their environment (inside the HOST cell) in a limited manner.
However, some other characters, such as their inability to reproduce without using the host cell machinery and their ACELLULAR nature INDICATE that viruses are non-living.
Therefore, classifying viruses has remained as mystery for modern systematics.

Question : Organic substances such as sugars are translocated in the phloem. It can be demonstrated by

Answer»

ringing the stem
root pressure
grafting
defoliation.

Solution :In girdling or ringing experiments (Malpighi,1675)`, a ring fo bark is CUT from the stem. It also removes phloem. Nutrients collect above the ring where the bark also swells up and may give rise to adventitious roots. Growth is also VIGOROUS above the ring The TISSUES below the ring not only show stoppage of growth but also begin to shrivel Roots can be starved and killed if the ring is not healed after some time. Killing of roots shall kill the whole PLANT clearly showing that bark or phloem is involved in the movement of organic solutes towards root.

Question : Order : Describe/Explain Order.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Order and other higher taxonomic categories are identified based on the AGGREGATES of CHARACTERS.
Order being a higher category, is the assemblage of families which exhibit a few similar characters.
The similar characters are less in number as compared to different genera included in a family.
Plant families like Convolvulaceae, Solanaceae are included in the order Polymoniales mainly based on the floral characters.
The animal order, CARNIVORA, includes families like FELIDAE and Canidae.

Question : Opuntia has phylloclade.

Answer»

Solution :Opuntia is a xerophytic PLANT. Due to dry atmosphere, less water is available from soil. So to prevent waste of water, leaves are shed or became small or get CONVERTED into stipulelspine. Thus in ABSENCE of leaves to perform photosynthesis, Stem becomes broad, flat green and fused with chlorophyll that acts as a leaf. Thus the modification of stem to leaf like STRUCUTRE is called PHYLLOCLADE.
