Question : In our heart, all the four chambers are completely partitioned. It results in non-mixing of oxygenated blood with deoxygenated blood. Explain the double circulation related to it.

Answer»

Solution :CIRCULATION of the blood was first DESCRIBED by William Harvey in 1628. There are two types of blood circulation in vertebrates, single circulation and double circulation.
The blood circulates TWICE through the heart first on the right side then on the left side to complete one cardiac cycle.
The complete double blood circulation is more prominent in MAMMALS because of the complete partition of all the chambers (Auricles and ventricles) in the heart.
In systemic circulation, the Oxygenated blood entering the aorta from the left ventricle is carried by a network of arteries, arterioles and capillaries to the tissues. The deoxygenated blood from the tissue.
This increases the diffusion distance and REDUCES the efficiemcy of the gas exchange.
In contrast high pressure is required to force blood through the long systemic circuits.
Hence the arteries close to the heart have increased pressure than the arteries away from the heart. • Completely separated circuits (pulmonary and systemic) allow these two different demands to be met with.

Question : In our heart, al the four chambers are completely partitioned. It resultes in non - mixing of oxygenated blood with deoxygenated blood. Explain the double circulation related to it.

Answer»

Solution :1. Circulation of the blood was first descibed by William Harvey ( 1628). There are two types of blood circulation in vertebrates, single circulation and double circulation.
2. The blood circulates twice through the heart first on the right side them on the LEFT side to complete ONE cardiac cycle. The complete double blood circulation is more prominent in mammals because of the complete partition of all the chambers (Auricles and verntricles ) in the heart.
3. In systemic circulation, the oxygenated blood entering the aorta from the left ventricle is carried by a network of ARTERIES, arterioles and capillaries to the tissues.
4. The deoxygenated blood from the tissue in vertebrates, single circulation and double circulation The blood circulates twice through the heart first on the right then on the left side to complete o cardiac cycle.

5. The complete double blood circulation is more prominent in mammals because of the complete partition of all the chambers (Auriles and VENTRICLES in the heart.
6. In systemic circulation, the oxygenated blood entering the aorta from the left ventricle is carried by a network of arteries, arterioles and capillaries to the tissues.
7. The deoxygenated blood from the tissue capillary walls and can acumulate in the tissues.
8. This increases the diffusion distance and reduces the efficiency of the gas exchange.
9. In CONTRAST high pressure is equired to force blood through the long systemic circuits. Hence the arteries close to the heart have increased pressure than the arteries away from the heart.
10. Completely separated circuits (pulmonary and systemic) allow these two different demands to be met with.

16610.

Question : In Opuntia the stem is modified into a flattened green structure to perform the function of leaves (i.e., photosynthesis). Cite some other examples of modifications of plant parts for the purpose of photosynthesis.

Answer»

Solution :Opuntia is a xerophytic plant , in which leaves are modified into spines and reduce the RATE of transpiration and they can.t perform photosynthesis. So the photosynthesis is done by stem in opuntia. Which is a thick, FLESHY and flat structtire. It possesses chlorophyll and stores FOOD. Such structure is called phylloclade.
Sometimes stems get modified into INTERNODES leaf like structure and performs photosynthesis e.g. Asparagus. They are in the level of scaly leaves. While true leaves are modified into either scaly leaves or spines.
Similarly in some plants, there are assimilatory ROOTS. Eg . Trapa and Tinospora.
These roots develop outside the soil and bears chloroplasts and performs function of photosynthesis.

Question : In north eastern states, the jhum culture is a major threat to biodiversity - substantiate

Answer»

SOLUTION :In shifting cultivation, plots of natural tree vegetation are burnt away and the cleared patches are farmed for 2-3 seasons, after which their fertility reduces to a point where crop production is no longer PROFITABLE. The farmer then abandonsthis PATCH and cuts down a new patch of forest trees elsewhere for crop production. This system is practiced in north-eastern regions of India. When vast areas are cleared and burnt, it RESULTS in loss of forest cover, pollution and discharge of `CO_(2)` which in turn attributes to loss of habitat and climate change which has and impact on the faunal DIVERSITY of that regions.
