Answer»

Reproductionis an important characteristic feature of living organisms. It is anessential life processwhich not only helps in survival but also helps in continuity of that race and group immortality, as byreproduction. ...Reproductionalso helps in increasing the population of the species.

5303.

Why is reproduction essential f2. Which is a better mode of reproduction: sexual or asexualor organisms?? Why?hu nsrual reproduction referred to as clor

Answer»

Sexual reproduction is considered to be a better mode of reproduction because it creates a hybrid that has more vigor than the parents. It also leads to variations that enable organisms to adapt to the changing or prevailing environment. Variations are introduced during meiosis in sexual reproduction, which is an important tool for evolution. It adds survival value to particular species.

What is Vegetative propogation / Reproduction?

Answer»

Vegetative reproduction is any form of asexual reproduction occurring in plants in which a new plant grows from a fragment of the parent plant or a specialized reproductive structure. Many plants naturally reproduce this way, but it can also be induced artificially.

5309.

2. What are the artificial methods of vegetative reproduction in plants? Give examples.

Answer»

Artificial propagation of plants include these four main processes:

Grafting:This process involves joining the shoot system of a plant (known as scion) to the root system of another plant (known as the stock). The two are joined where the sizes (diameter) of the scion and stock are very close. They are both cut diagonally and placed facing each other. They are then taped and left to heal with time.

Cutting:Plants such as roses and sugarcane can be cut at the points of nodes and internodes. These points are then placed in moist soils. After some time, adventitious roots develop at the points and new plants begin to grow.Thee are many types of cutting techniques, grouped into three categories: Stem, leaf and root cutting. Stem cuttings include hardwood, semi-hardwood, and softwood cutting. Leaf-cutting include leaf blade cutting, leaf vein cutting, leaf bud cutting and leaf edge cutting. The third category is root cutting.

Layering:In some plants like raspberries, the stem can be bent and buried in the soils around the plant. After some time, adventitious roots develop off the stem. This part of the stem is known as the layer. The stem can then develop into a new plant.

Tissue Culture:In this modern technique, tissue scrapped from the parent plant is placed in a special growing medium and under certain conditions. The tissue is nourished from the nutrients in the medium until new plants are produced. Orchids, Chrysanthemum and Asparagus are examples of plants cultivated with tissue culture.

Answer»

There are several consequences of deforestation:

Changes in Soil:

loss of nutrients in the soil that are derived from breakdown of tree leaves

increased soil erosion by wind and rain

increased flooding due to a lack of water absorption by trees

decreased ability to support other plants due to nutrient loss

Loss of Biodiversity:

Animals and plants that are unable to grow outside of a forest environment face extinction.

Climate Change:

increased greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide) present in the air when trees are not available to absorb them

increased carbon in the air from the burning of trees

decreased cooling of land from water evaporation in forests

Describe impact of water pollution.

Answer»

The effects of water pollution are varied and depend on what chemicals are dumped and in which locations.

Many water bodies near urban areas (cities and towns) are highly polluted. This is the result of both garbage dumped by individuals and dangerous chemicals legally or illegally dumped by manufacturing industries, health centers, schools and market places.

✓Death of aquatic (water) animalsThe main problem caused by water pollution is that it kills organisms that depend on these water bodies. Dead fish, crabs, birds and sea gulls, dolphins, and many other animals often wind up on beaches, killed by pollutants in theirhabitat(living environment).

✓Disruption of food-chainsPollution disrupts the naturalfood chainas well. Pollutants such as lead and cadmium are eaten by tiny animals. Later, these animals are consumed by fish and shellfish, and the food chain continues to be disrupted at all higher levels.

✓DiseasesEventually, humans are affected by this process as well. People can get diseases such as hepatitis by eating seafood that has been poisoned. In many poor nations, there is always outbreak of cholera and diseases as a result of poor drinking water treatment from contaminated waters.

✓Destruction of ecosystemsEcosystems(the interaction of living things in a place, depending on each other for life) can be severely changed or destroyed by water pollution. Many areas are now being affected by careless human pollution, and this pollution is coming back to hurt humans in many ways.

5335.

Q.27) Describe causes of water pollution.

Answer»

The five reasons for water pollution in India are as follow(i)Industries Industries discharge various chemicals and hazardous waste into water sources such as lakes, ponds and canals without treating them.(ii)Agriculture Modem agricultural practices use chemicals in form of fertilisers, pesticides and herbicides which flow into rivers or seep into groundwater.(iii) Households Man uses water for drinking, preparation of food, bathing for cleaning the house, etc. Most of the used water is drained out through municipal drains and poured into a river or’lake.(iv)Offshore drilling and oil spills Exploring for oil and gas under the seabed, involves some risks to the marine environment. The consequences of oil spills is of great environment concern.(v)Nuclear wastes Nuclear power plants, nuclear weapon testing, laboratories where isotopes are used are sources of nuclear waste which can pollute the entire water sources of a region.

what is ozone layer depletion?

Answer»

Ozone layer depletion, is simply the wearing out (reduction) of the amount of ozone in the stratosphere. Unlike pollution, which has many types and causes, Ozone depletion has been pinned down to one major human activity.

Ozone depletion describes two related events observed since the late 1970s: a steady lowering of about four percent in the total amount of ozone in Earth's atmosphere, and a much larger springtime decrease in stratospheric ozone around Earth's polar regions. The latter phenomenon is referred to as the ozone hole

5348.

21.Describe how ozone layer is formed

Answer»

Stratosphericozoneisformednaturally by chemical reactions involving solar ultraviolet radiation (sunlight) and oxygen molecules, which make up 21% of the atmosphere. In the first step, solar ultraviolet radiation breaks apart one oxygen molecule (O2) to produce two oxygen atoms (2 O)

what is ozone layer depletion? about 40 words

Answer»

Ozone depletion refers to the decline of ozone gas in the Earth's atmosphere.This decline of ozone gas means large amounts of ultraviolet B radiation reaches the Earth's surface.Ozone gas is a highly reactive gas that sits high up in the Earth's atmosphere. It shields the Earth's surface from dangerous ultraviolet B radiation that comes from the sun. Many attribute the depletion of ozone gas to high amounts of pollution that break down gas molecules. Ultraviolet B radiation has been linked to skin cancer in humans and has many other negative effects to different organisms, making the depletion of the ozone layer a pressing environmental and public health issue.
