LIFE PROCESSES
 Those events/ mechanisms which are required to maintain the
life of livings are termed as life processes. e.g. Nutrition,
respiration, circulation, excretion & reproduction.

LIVING BEINGS
 'Living' is something that is alive, something that can grow, move,
reproduce, respire and carry out various cellular activities.

OR

 Those organisms which are alive/ have life are termed as livings/
Living beings. e.g. Bacteria, Fungi, Plants and Animals.

FEATURES OF LIVING BEINGS

1. GROWTH ( The permanent increase/ change in no./ shape/ size of


cell)
2. REPRODUCTION ( The process of giving birth to young ones )
3. METABOLISM ( Sum of all biochemical reaction of body ) i.e.
CATABOLISM+ AMABOLISM

NUTRITION IN PLANTS
 Plants are autotrophic in nature and make own food itself.
 The mechanism of formation of food from inorganic raw materials
such as CO2 & H2O in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll is
known as photosynthesis.
 6CO2 + 12H2O C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2
SUNLIGHT

CHLOROPHYLL
 The mechanism of photosynthesis is completed into following 03
steps:-
1. Absorption of Sunlight by chlorophyll.
2. Conversion of light energy into chemical energy and splitting of
H2O into H2 and O2.
3. Reduction of CO2 to carbohydrates.

TRANSPIRATION

The mechanism of loss of water in the form of water vapour through


stomata is known as transpiration.
STOMATA / STOMATAL APPARATUS
 In epidermis of leaves and herbaceous stem minute pores are lies for
exchange of gases and water are termed as stomata.

 Each stomata is made up of 02 kidney shaped cells which contains


chloroplast and nucleus called Guard cells.

BIOLOGY BY:- RAM SIR (CONTACT US – 9536143965, email.


guruedotonicclasses2015@[Link]
MECHANISM OF OPENING & CLOSING OF
STOMATA &

STRUCTURE
 Guard cells are covered OF STOMATA
with 2- 3 layered structure of cells termed as
Epidermal cells.

 In the centre of guard cells, a pore present called Stomatal pore which
is responsible for exchange of gases and transpiration.

 The opening and closing of stomata is regulated by guard cells, when the
water enters into the guard cell, they become turgid/ swell up result
stomata become opens and when water moves out the cells become
flaccid result stomata become closed.

 Stomata remains open in day time and become closed in night. Except.
CAM ( Crusslacian Acid Metabolism ) plants.

 K+ play an important role in opening & closing of stomata.

FUNCTION OF KIDNEYS/
NEPHRONS/ URINE FORMATION

 There are 03 major functions of nephrons :-

1. ULTRAFILTRATION/GLOMERULAR FILTRATION/FILTRATION

2. SELECTIVE REABSORPTION

3. TUBULAR SECRETION

1. ULTRAFILTRATION

 The BP is very high in the glomerular capillaries So, useful and toxic
substances are transferred to the Bowman's capsule through a semi-
permeable membrane is called filtration and the substance or material
is called glomerular filtrate.

 It occurs in glomerulus.

2. SELECTIVE REABSORPTION

BIOLOGY BY:- RAM SIR (CONTACT US – 9536143965, email.


guruedotonicclasses2015@[Link]
 The glomerular filtrate is enters firstly into the lumen of Bowman's
capsule and then transferred to the PCT.
 Useful substances are transferred to the blood by passive and active
transport is called selective reabsorption.
 It occurs in tubular part of nephron.

3. TUBULAR SECRETION

 The process of removal of toxic substances from the DCT into collecting
ducts is called tubular secretion and now it is said to be urine.

ARTIFICIAL KIDNEY/
HEMODIALYSIS

 The process removing of toxic substances/ nitrogenous waste products


from the blood through a dialyzer is called hemodialysis.

 The artificial kidney/ dialyzer contains number of long tubes covered by


a selectively permeable membrane suspended in a solution which has
the same concentration/ osmotic pressure as that of blood.

 Blood drained from our convenient artery is pumped into a dialysing


unit after adding an anticoagulant like heparin.

 When impure blood is passed into the machine the waste product are
filtered out into the outer solution ( dialyzing fluid ) as nitrogenous
waste are absent in dialyzing fluid, these substances freely moves out
thereby clearing the blood.

 The cleared blood is pumped back to the body through a vein after
adding anti- heaprin to it.
