Bot Pract2026

The document provides practical notes on botany, detailing the characteristics of dicot and monocot stems and roots, along with descriptions of various plant materials, including algae and cones. It also covers concepts related to cell division, experiments on photosynthesis, and plant pigments, as well as ecological interactions like mutualism, parasitism, and commensalism. Additionally, it includes specific information about the Solanaceae family and a labeled diagram of an anther cross-section.

MATERIAL ‘B’ (1 mark)


Microscopic
1. Oscillatoria: Filamentous blue green algae
2. Spirogyra : It is a filamentous, fresh water, green algae with ribbon shaped chloroplast.
3. Rhizopus : Spores are produced in sporangia.
Macroscopic
4. Sargassum : It is a marine brown algae with air bladder and receptacle
5. Pinus Female cone: It is the female reproductive structure of Pinus plant that produce
ovules and megaspores.
6. Pinus Male cone: Male cone is smaller than female cone. It consist of microsporophylls.

MATERIAL ‘D’ (1 mark)


1) Metaphase: chromosomes are arranged at the equator of the cell

2) Anaphase: Chromatids moved to opposite poles.


MATERIAL ‘E’ (1 ½ marks)
1. Hydrilla Experiment
Aim:- To demonstrate evolution of oxygen during photosynthesis.

Aim: To separate photosynthetic pigments by
unidirectional paper chromatography
MATERIAL ‘F’ (1 ½ marks)
Solanaceae
