Question : Draw a diagrammatic sketch of biogas plant and label its various components given below gas holder, sludge chamber, digester, dung + water chamber.

Answer»

SOLUTION :The raw material for biogas production is excreta (dung) of cattle. The biogas PLANT has a concrete tank (10-15 FEET deep) in which bio-wastes and slurry of dung is collected.

The tank has a floating cover which RISES on production of gas in the tank. Methanobacterium in the dung act on the bio-wastes to produce biogas. The gas produced is supplied to nearby houses by an outlet. Through another outlet, the spent slurry is removed to be used as fertiliser. Biogas is used as fuel for COOKING and lighting.

Question : Draw a diagram ma tic sectional view of human ovary showin stages of oogenesis along with corpus luteum Where is morula formed in humans? Explain the process of its development from zygote

Answer»

Solution : Sectional view of human ovary : See Q. 24 , Delhi Board, Set-II,2008.
MORULA is formed in the upper portion of oviduct, i.e., isthmus. The haploid nucleus of the sperms and that of the ovum fuse together to form a diploid zygote. Zygote divides rapidly as it moves through the isthmus of the oviduct by mitotic division CALLED CLEAVAGE and as a result 2, 4, 8, 16 daughter cells are produced which are termed as blastomeres. The embryo with 8-16 blastomeres is called a morula.

Question : Double fertilization is reported in plants of both, castor and groundnut. However, the mature seeds of groundnut are non-albuminous and castor are albuminous. Explain the post-fertilization events that are responsible for it.
