Under Unit-IV Plant Physiology
Chapter-11: Transport in Plants
This chapter covers the transport mechanisms in plants, including the movement of water, gases, and nutrients. It describes various modes of transportation such as cell to cell transport, diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport. The chapter also explains the relationship between plants and water, including imbibition, water potential, osmosis, and plasmolysis.
Moreover, it discusses the long-distance transport of water, including the process of absorption, apoplast, symplast, transpiration pull, root pressure, and guttation. Additionally, it explains transpiration, opening, and closing of stomata. Finally, the chapter discusses the uptake and translocation of mineral nutrients, including transport of food, phloem transport, and the mass flow hypothesis.
Chapter-12: Mineral Nutrition
Essential minerals, macro-and micronutrients, and their role; deficiency symptoms; mineral toxicity; elementary idea of hydroponics as a method to study mineral nutrition; nitrogen metabolism, the nitrogen cycle, biological nitrogen fixation.
Chapter-15: Plant Growth and Development
Seed germination; phases of plant growth and plant growth rate; conditions of growth; differentiation, dedifferentiation, and redifferentiation; the sequence of developmental processes in a plant cell; seed dormancy; vernalization; photoperiodism.
Under Unit-V Human Physiology
Chapter-16: Digestive System
Structure and functions of the alimentary canal and digestive glands; the role of digestive enzymes and gastrointestinal hormones; peristalsis; digestion, absorption, and assimilation of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats; calorific values of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats; egestion; common nutritional and digestive disorders – PEM, indigestion, constipation, vomiting, jaundice, and diarrhea.
Chapter-20: Body Movements
Types of movement – ciliary, flagellar, and muscular; skeletal system and its functions; joints; common disorders of muscular and skeletal systems – myasthenia gravis, tetany, muscular dystrophy, arthritis, osteoporosis, and gout.
Chapter-21: Neural Control and Coordination
Reflex action; sensory perception; sense organs; elementary structure and functions of the eye and ear.
