Question

Differentiate between neural control and hormonal control.

✓

Answer

Differences between neural control and hormonal control :

S. No.	Symptoms	Neural Control	Hormonal Control
1.	Speed of action	Always act immediately.	They can be immediately active or become active over a long period of time.
2.	Transmission of signals	As electrochemical neural impulses.	As chemical messengers.
3.	Path of transmission	Via nerve fibers.	Through the blood.
4.	Direction of information	Towards a specific direction (effective body part of CNS).	They are released into the general bloodstream where they are received by specific receptors.
5.	Adaptability	For immediate actions, such as reflexes.	For long-term changes, such as maintaining pregnancy.
6.	Persistence of time	Quick impact for a short period.	Long-term effects

The flower is the reproductive unit in the angiosperms. It is meant for sexual reproduction. A typical flower has four different kinds of whorls arranged successively on the swollen end of the stalk or pedicel, called thalamus or receptacle. These are calyx, corolla, androecium and gynoecium. Calyx and corolla are accessory organs, while androecium and gynoecium are reproductive organs. In symmetry, the flower may be actinomorphic (radial symmetry) or zygomorphic (bilateral symmetry). Based on the position of calyx, corolla and androecium in respect of the ovary on the thalamus, the flowers are described as hypogynous, perigynous and epigynous. A flower may be trimerous, tetramerous or pentamerous when the floral appendages are in multiple of 3, 4 or 5, respectively.

John was reading a chapter on different parts of a green plant. His mother asked him about the functions of roots. He replied that roots are meant for anchorage and absorbing water and minerals from soil. Then mother showed him carrot, radish and turnip and asked him about the additional functions that the roots perform. John was surprised to find that roots in some plants change their shape and structure and become modified to perform additional functions like support, storage of food and respiration.

(a) Storage (b) Support (c) Respiration (d) Transpiration.

(5). Pneumatophores are found in
(a) Rhizophora (b) Asparagus (c) Sugarcane (d) Maize.

Linnaeus gave two kingdom classification/which consists of kingdom Plantae and kingdom Animalia. This classification was based on the mode of nutrition/ reproduction/ presence or absence of cell wall. However, this system had many drawbacks like there was no distinction between eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Then, came the three-kingdom classification in which single-celled bacteria and protozoans were kept in the kingdom Protista.This system also failed to classify all living organisms into appropriate categories. Finally a five Kingdom classification was proposed by dividing all the organisms into five kingdom and it will be accepted as modern system of classification.

i. We know that Haeckel proposed the term Protista for unicellular organisms. Observe the given flowchart and mention what are advantages does the five-kingdom classification have over the two-kingdom classification?
ii. All eukaryotic unicellular organisms belong to which kingdom? Also, mention its two characteristics.
iii. What is heterotropic? Is Euglena heterotropic?
OR
iii. Who proposed the five-kingdom classification? And which criteria were used to classify organism in the 5- kingdom system?

Briefly describe any four valves found in the human heart. Make labelled diagram of a cross section of a human heart.

Each flower normally has four floral whorls, viz., calyx, corolla, androecium and gynoecium. The calyx is the outermost whorl of the flower and the members are called sepals. Corolla is composed of petals. Petals are usually brightly coloured to attract insects for pollination. The mode of arrangement of sepals or petals in floral bud with respect to the other members of the same whorl is known as aestivation. The main types of aestivation are valvate, twisted, imbricate. The shape and colour of corolla vary greatly in plants. Corolla may be tubular, bell- shaped, funnel-shaped or wheel-shaped and vexillary.

i. Observe the given figure mentioned A, B, C and D. Also mention its function. Identify D and mention its example. (1)
ii. Ganosepalous, Ganopetalous, Polysepalous, Polypetalous, Imbricate. (1)
iii. What is Valvate and twisted aestivation? (2)

Could the number of eggs or young ones produced by an oviparous and viviparous mother be equal? Why?

The androecium is composed of stamens. Each stamen that represents the male reproductive organ consists of a stalk or a filament and an anther. Each anther is usually bilobed and each lobe has two chambers, the pollen-sacs. Stamens of flowers may be united with other members such as petals or among themselves. The stamens may be epipetalous or epiphyllous. A flower is a modified shoot wherein the shoot apical meristem changes to floral meristem. Internodes do not elongate and the axis gets condensed. The apex produces different kinds of floral appendages laterally at successive nodes instead of leaves. The arrangement of flowers on the floral axis is termed an inflorescence.

i. Observe the figure and mention what is androecium composed of. (1)
ii. The pollen grains are produced in pollen-sacs. What is a sterile stamen is called? (1)
iii. Is salvia and mustard show variation in the length of filaments within a flower? (2)

OR

Mention statement justifies that the given figure is racemose inflorescence. (2)

Sarcodines are unicellular/jelly-like protozoa found in fresh or sea water and in moist soil. Their body lacks a periplast. Therefore, they may be naked or covered by a calcareous shell. They usually lack flagella and have temporary protoplasmic outgrowths called pseudopodia. These pseudopodia or false feet help in movement and capturing prey. They include free-living forms such as Amoeba or parasitic forms such as Entamoeba. Zoo flagellates ciliates and I sporozoans are other groups of protozoan protists. They are all unicellular and heterotrophic. They may be holozoic, saprobic or parasitic.

i. Write two lines about flagellated protozoans and also mention some flagellated protozoans. (1)
ii. Observe the given protozoan classification and mention what is the basis of protozoan classification. (1)

Cell membrane, also called plasma membrane, thin membrane that surrounds every living cell, delimiting the cell from the environment around it. Enclosed by this cell membrane are the cell’s constituents, large, water-soluble, highly charged molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and substances involved in cellular metabolism. Cell membranes are composed primarily of fatty-acid based lipids and proteins. Membrane lipids are principally of two types, phospholipids and sterols (generally cholesterol). Both types share the defining characteristic of lipids—they dissolve readily in organic solvents—but in addition they both have a region that is attracted to and soluble in water.

(1).Plasma membrane is made up of
(a) A protein, a lipid and a cellulose layer
(b) Bimolecular lipid layer surrounded by protein layers
(c) A protein layer between two lipid layers
(d) A lipid layer between two protein layers

(2) Fluid mosaic model of cell was put forward by –
(a) Danielli and Dawson
(b) Singer and Nicolson
(c) Garner and Allard
(d) Watson and Crick

(3) Which of the following statements best describes the chemical composition of
plasma-membrane?
(a) Plasma membrane is composed of two layers—one layer of phospholipids and one layer
of proteins.
(b) Plasma membrane is composed of equal numbers of phospholipids, proteins, and
carbohydrates.
(c) Plasma membrane is bilayers of proteins with associated lipids and carbohydrates.
(d) Plasma membrane is bilayers of phospholipids with associated proteins and
carbohydrates.

(4) Most abundant lipid in the cell membrane is
(a) phospholipids (b) cerebrosides (c) glycolipids (d) None of these
