8.Case Study

(Read the passage given below and answer the following questions)

Case I Phenols contain a hydroxy (-OH) group directly attached to the aromatic ring. A hydroxy group attached to an aromatic ring is usually referred to as a phenolic group. Due to the presence of -OH group, phenols show many reactions similar to those of alcohols. However, the direct attachment of -OH group to the aromatic ring makes its behaviour very much different from that in alcohols. This is why phenols behave differently from alcohols in many respect. The chemical reactions of phenols can be categorised as follows:

(A) Reactions involving-OH group.

 (B) Reactions involving the aromatic benzene ring.

1. In preparation of phenol using oleum and sodium hydroxide, write the starting material to complete the reaction.

(a) benzene (b) toluene (c) Anisole (d) cresol

2. What is the final product when Phenol reacts with Br2/CS2 at low temperature?

(a) o-bromophenol and o-bromophenol

(b) meta bromophenol and bromoethane

(c) p-bromophenol and p-bromoanisole

(d) o-bromophenol and bromophenylmethane

3. Which compound renders violet colour to the reaction of phenol with FeCl3?

(a) Penta-phenoxy ferrate (III)

(b) Hexa-phenoxy ferrate (III)

(c) Hepta-phenoxy-ferrate (III) (d) Penta-phenoxy ferrate (II)

4. Why p-cresol is insoluble in water and dilute HCl?

(a) Because p-cresol is strong base

(b) Because p-cresol is weak acid

(c) Because p-cresol is strong acid 

(d) Because p-cresol is weak base

Or

What product will be obtained, when phenol first reacts with conc. H2SO4, and then with conc. HNO3?

(a) o-nitrophenol (b) p-nitrophenol

(c) m-nitrophenol (d) o-cresol

Case II Ethers are quite stable compounds. These do not easily react with dilute mineral acids, alkalis, oxidants, reductants and active metals under ordinary conditions.

Some important chemical properties of ethers are 

I. Reactions of alkyl group

When an ether is treated with chlorine in dark, chlorination preferentially occurs at a-carbon and as a result 1, 1'- dichlorodiethyl ether is formed

II. Reactions of the ethereal oxygen

On account of the presence of two lone pairs of electrons on oxygen, ethers behave as Lewis bases and undergo reactions involving the formation of coordinate bonds through the oxygen atoms of ethers.

III. Reactions involving the cleavage of C-O bond

When ethers are heated with halogen acids, phosphorus pentachloride, sulphuric acid, etc. then C-O bond in ethers breaks to give the product.

(Read the above passage and answer the following questions).

1. What happens when diethyl ether is exposed to air and light for a long time?

2. How ether can be freed from peroxides?

3. In absence of kerosene oil can we store sodium in diethyl ether or ethyl alcohol or anhydrous hexanol?

" Metals and Non- metals"

Metals:-
  • Elements which have the ability to donate electrons.
  •  Example:- Lithium, Sodium, Potassium,Iron, Aluminium, Magnesium
Physical properties:- 
  • Have shining surface . This property is called metallic lustre.
  • Generally hard . Hardness vary from metal. Exception :- lithium, sodium and potassium are so soft that can be cut with a knife.
  • All metals are solid at room temperature. Exception:- Mercury (Hg) - liquid at room temperature.
  • Malleability:- Metals can be beaten into thin sheets . This property is called malleability.
  • Ductility:- Metals can be beaten into thin wires . This property is called ductility.
  • Good conductors of heat . Exception:- lead  (Pb)
  • Have high melting points . Exception:- Gallium and Caesium have very low mp.
  • Sonorous:- Produce a sound on striking a hard surface.
  • Note:- Silver and copper are best conductors of heat.
PVC - Polyvinyl chloride.
  • It is used to coat current carrying wires.
Non - metals:- 
  • Elements which  don't have  the ability to donate electrons (or gain electron)
  •  Example: carbon , nitrogen , oxygen , fluorine , sulphur , Iodine hydrogen etc.
Physical properties:- 
  • Non metals are non lustrous . Exception :- Iodine
  • Non metals are brittle .
  • Exception :- Diamond ( Allotrope of carbon and hardest known substance)
  • Non metals are either solids or gases at room temperature. Exception :- Bromine (liquid at room temperature)
  • Non malleable
  • Non ductile
  • Bad conductor of heat and electricity. Exception:- Graphite (Allotrope of carbon)
  • Low melting and boiling point. Exception:- Diamond.
  • Non sonorous.
Chemical properties of metals:- 
  • When metal burn in air:- 
  • Almost all metals combine with oxygen to form metal oxides. Exception:- silver and gold.
Metal + Oxygen --> metal oxide
Cu + O2 -- > 2CuO (black )

4Al + 3O2 -- > 2Al2O3

  • Metal oxides are either basic oxides or amphoteric oxides.
  • Basic oxide:- Which react with acids only . Example:- CuO
  • Amphoteric oxides:- Which react with base as well as acid to produce salt and water.
  • Example:- Al2O3 , ZnO
Example:- 
Cu + O2 --> CuO
CuO + HCl --> CuCl2 + H2O
Al2O3 + 6HCl --> 2AlCl3 + H2O
Al2O3 + 2NaOH --> 2 NaAlO2 + H2O

  • Most metal oxides are insoluble in water.
  • Some dissolve in water to form alkali.
  • Example:- Na2O and K2O dissolve in water to produce alkali.
Na2O (s) + H2O (l) --> 2NaOH (aq)
K2O (s) + H2O (l) --> 2KOH (aq)
  • All metals do not react with oxygen at same rate 
  • Different metals show different reactivities towards oxygen.
  • Metals such as K and Na react so vigorously that they catch fire if kept in open. Hence to protect them and to prevent accidental fires, they are kept immersed in kerosine oil.
  • At ordinary temperature, the surface of metals such as magnesium, aluminium, zinc and lead etc. Are covered with a thin layer of oxide. The protective oxide layer prevents the metal from further oxidation.
  • Cu does not burn but hot metal is coated with a black coloured layer of copper (II) Oxide.
  • Silver and gold don't react with oxygen even at high temperature.
Anodising :- process of forming a thick oxide layer of aluminium.

What happens when metals react with water:-
Metal + water -- > Metal oxide + hydrogen 
2K + 2H2O (cold) --> 2KOH + H2 + heat energy
2Na + 2H2O (cold) --> 2NaOH + H2 + heat energy.

Ca + 2H2O (hot) --> Ca(OH)2 + H2
Mg + 2H2O (hot) --> Mg(OH)2 +H2

Al/ Fe/ Zn + H2O (steam)--> Al2O3 /                                        Fe2O3/ZnO + H2

All metals don't react with water example:- Pb , Cu , Ag and Au

What happens when metals react with Acids?
Metal + dilute acid --> salt + hydrogen
Example:- 
Mg/Al/Zn/Fe + HCl (aq) --> MgCl2/AlCl3/ZnCl2/FeCl2 + H2(g)
Copper does not  react with Dil HCl
Note:- 
  • H2 (g) is not evolved when metal reacts with nitric acid.
  • Reason:- Because HNO3 is a strong oxidising agent .
  • It oxidised H2 to H2O and itself get reduced to any of nitrogen oxides (N2O and NO2)
  • But Mg and Mn react with very dilute HNO3 to evolve H2 gas.
Aqua regia :-
  • A freshly prepared mixture of conc. HCl and conc. HNO3 in ratio of 3:1
  • Can dissolve gold even t neither of the acids can do so alone.
  • Properties:- Highly corrosive
  • Fuming liquid
How do metals react with solutions of other metal salts?
Metal react with solutions of other metal salt by displacing them
Only more reactive metal (A) can displace less reactive metal (B) from its salt solution.
Metal A + salts Solution of B --> salt solution of A + metal B
A + BC --> AC + B

Reactivity series :-
  • A series is a list of metals  arranged in order of their decreasing activities.

How do metals and Non-metals react?
The reactivity of elements is due to a tendency to attain a completely filled Valence shell.
They react either by gaining electrons (non- metals) or losing electrons (metals)
For example:-
 Na(11) 
Electronic configuration:- 2,8,1
Na --> Na+  +. e- 
          2,8 (cation formation)

Also :- 
Cl    +   e   -->.   Cl-
(2,8,7)               (2,8,8) anion 
                            Formation
  • In NaCl , sodium give one electron to Chlorine so that both of them attain noble gas configuration for stability.
  • So the compound formed by transfer of electron from a metal to a non metal are known as ionic compound / electrovalent compound
  • In NaCl , Na+ and Cl- are held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction.
Properties of ionic compounds/ electrostatic compound
:-
(i) Physical properties:-
  • Solid
  • Hard:- Due to electrostatic forces of attraction between cation and anion
  • Brittle - break into pieces when pressure is applied.
(ii) Melting and boiling points:-
  • High melting and boiling point.
  • Reason:- Large amount of energy is required to break strong interionic attraction
(iii) Solubility :-
  • Soluble in water
  • Insoluble in other solvents such as kerosine, petrol etc.
(iv) Conduction of electricity:- 
  • Ionic compounds conduct electricity in aqueous state or in molten state.
  • This is because in aqueous and molten state ions move freely and conducting electricity.
  • In solid states ions donor move freely . So don't conduct electricity.
Occurrence of metals:-
  • Earth crust is the major source of metals.
  • Sea water contain Soluble salts such as NaCl , MgCl2
  • Minerals:- The element or compound which occur naturally in earth crust.
Ores:- 
  • Minerals which contain at high % of particular metal and metal can be profitably extracted from it  
  • Such minerals are called ores.

Gangue:-
  •  Ore mined from earth are usually contaminated with large amount of impurities such as sand , soil etc.
  • Such impurity is called gangue.
Extraction of metals:- 
  • Metal at the bottom of reactivity series are of least reactivity.
  • They are found in free state.
  • Ex:- Gold (Au) , silver (Ag) , Platenum(Pt) and copper (Cu)
  • Copper and silver are also found in combined state as their sulphide and oxide ores.
  • Metals at the top of  activity series (K, Na, Ca, Mg and Al) are so reactive that are never found in nature as free elements
  • Metals in middle of activity series (Zn,Fe,Pb etc) are moderately reactive.
  • They are found in earth crust mainly as oxides , sulphides or carbonates)
Classification of metals:- 
On the basis of reactivity:- Three types
  • Metals of high reactivity
  • Metals of medium reactivity
  • Metals of low reactivity


Extracting metals low in the activity series:- 
  • Metals low in the reactivity series are very interactive.
  • Oxides of these metals can be reduced to metal on heating.
  • Example :- 2HgS + 3O2 + heat--> 2HgO + 2SO2(g)
  • 2HgO + heat -- > 2Hg (l) + O2(g)
  • (Mercuric oxide reduced to metal on further heating)
  • Example :- 
  • 2Cu2S + 3O2 + heat --> 2Cu2O (s) + 2SO2(g)
  • 2Cu2O + Cu2S + heat --> 6 Cu (s) + SO2(g)
Extracting metals in middle of activity series (Fe, Zn ,Pb)
Roasting :- When sulphide ores are converted into oxides by heating strongly in the presence of excess air . This process is known as roasting.
Calcination:- When carbonate ores converted into oxides by heating strongly in limited air . This process is called calcination .
  • Metals in middle of activity series are moderately reactive.
  • Usually present as sulphide or carbonate in nature .
  • It is easier to obtain metal from its oxide as compare to its sulphides and carbonates.
  • So before reduction, metal sulphides and carbonates must be converted into metal oxides.
  • Metal sulphide converted into metal oxide by roasting.
  • Metal carbonate converted into metal oxides by calcination.
  • For example:- By roasting :-
  • 2ZnS(s) + 3O2 (g) + heat --> 2ZnO (s) + 2SO2(g)

Calcination:- 
ZnCO3 (s) + heat --> ZnO (s) + CO2(g)

Metal oxides are then reduced to metal by using suitable reducing agents such as carbon.
  • ZnO (s) + C(s) --> Zn(s) + CO(g)
Beside using carbon to reduce metal oxides to metals, displacement reaction can also be used.

The highly reactive metal (Na,Ca,Al etc) are used as reducing agents because they can used as reducing agents because they can displace metal of lower reactivity from their compounds.

Example:- 3MnO2 (s) + 4Al --> 3Mn + 2Al2O3 + heat.

Displacement reactions are highly exothermic.

The amount of heat evolved is so large that the metal are produced in molten state.

Practical application :- 
Reaction of iron oxide (Fe2O3) with aluminium is used to join railway tracks or cracked machine parts.
This reaction is known as thermit reaction.
Fe2O3 (s) + 2Al (s) --> 2Fe (l) + Al2O3 (s) + heat
Extracting metals towards the top of activity series:-
  • The metals high up in reactivity series very reactive.
  • These metals are obtained by electrolytic reduction.
  • In this , metals are deposited at cathode (negatively charged electrode) 
  • Non metal are deposited at anode (positively charged electrode)
  • To understand let us consider the example of NaCl
  • At cathode :- Na+ + e- --> Na
  • At anode :- 2Cl- --> Cl2 + 2e-
  • Example 2:-
  • At cathode :- 2Al3+ + 6e- --> 2Al
  • At anode :- 6O2- --> 3O2 + 6e-
Refining of metals:- 
  • Metals produced by various reduction processes are not very pure.
  • They contain impurities which must be removed to obtain pure metals.
  • The most widely used method for refining impure metals us electrolytic refining.
Electrolytic refining:-
  • Many metals such as copper , zinc , tin , silver , nickel, gold etc. Are also refined electrically.
  • In this process , the impure metal is made the anode and thin strip of pure metal is made the cathode.
  • A Solution of metal salt is used as an electrolyte.
  • On passing the current through the electrolyte, pure metal from anode dissolves into electrolyte.
  • An equivalent amount of pure metal from electrolyte is deposited on cathode.
  • Soluble impurity go into Solution.
  • Insoluble impurity settle down at the bottom of anode. (anode mud)
Corrosion:- 
Example :- silver articles become black after some times when exposed to air.
Reason:- silver + sulphur in air --> black coat of silver sulphide.

Copper reacts with moist CO2 in air and slowly losses it's shiny brown surface and gain a green coat .
Reason:- copper + carbon dioxide --> copper carbonate

Iron react with moist air for a long time acquire a coat of a brown flaky substance called rust.
Reason:- Fe + moist air --> ferric oxide (rust)
Prevention of corrosion:- by painting, oiling , greasing , galvanising, chrome plating , anodising or making alloys.

Galvanisation:- 
  • Method of protecting steel and iron from rusting. 
  • This is done by coating then with a thin layer of zinc.
  • Reason:- 
  • Zinc is more reactive than iron and loses electrons more easily. 
  • The outer layer of any  galvanised material react with atmospheric oxygen to form ZnO (zinc oxide) which is stronger than zinc.
  • Thus even if the outer layer of zinc undergoes corrosion, the material is getting coated with a strong substance ZnO .
  • Thus it is better able to resist corrosion.
Alloy formation (Alloying):-
  • Good method to improve the property of metal.
  • Can get desired properties by this method.
  • Example:- Iron (widely used metal) never used in pure form.
  • Because it is very soft and stretches easily when hot.
  • On mixing carbon (0.05%) , it become hard and strong.

Stainless steel:-
  •  When iron is mixed with nickel and chromium , we get stainless steel.
  • It is hard and does not rust.
  • Properties of any metal can be changed if it is mixed with some other substances.
Alloy:-
  •  mixture of two or more metals or a metal and a non metal.
  • Prepared by first melting the primary metal and then dissolving the other elements into it in definite proportions.
  • It is then cooled to room temperature.
Note:-
  •  If one of the metal us mercury, then the alloy is known as amalgam.
Properties of alloys:- 
  • Electrical conductivity and melting point of alloy is less than that of pure metal.
  • Example:- brass and bronze are not good conductors of electricity where as copper is used for making electric circuits.
  • Solder has a low mp and is used for welding electrical wires together.
Alloys:-
Brass :- copper + zinc
Bronze :- copper + tin
Solder :- lead + tin

Fact about gold :- 
  • Pure gold(24 carats) is very soft .
  • Not suitable for making jewellery.
  • For making it hard, it is Alloying with silver or copper.
  • In India, 22 carat gold is used for making jewellery.
  • It means 22 parts of pure gold is alloyed with 2 parts t either copper or silver.
Thankyou :-)

  • It can synthesis their own protein as they have their own DNA and ribosomes. That's why it is called semi-autonomous bodies/ strange organelle.
 Structure of mitochondria:-
Outer membrane:- 
  • Smooth and porous
  • Continuous limiting boundary of mitochondria
Inner membrane:- 
  • Deeply folded 
  • Folds provide greater surface area to generate ATP
Cristae:- 
  • Inner membrane is compartmentalized into various cristae.
Matrix :-
  •  Ground substance/space enclosed by inner membrane.
Plastids:-
  • Organelle present in plant cells only
  • It bear specific colour imparting pigments.
  • Two types:- two types
  1.  Chromoplasts(coloured plastids) and
  2.  Leucoplast( white or colourless plastids)
Chromoplasts which contains chlorophyll pigments is called chloroplast . It provides green colour to cells. 
Chloroplast also contains yellow or orange pigments.

Leucoplast stores starch , oils and proteins.

Plastids are also double layered organelle.
Ground substance is called stroma.
It contains own DNA and ribosome so called semi-autonomous / strange organelle.

Vacuoles:-
  • Vacuoles are storage sacs for solid or liquid contents.
  • It is small sized in animal cells 
  • plant cells have very large vacuoles.
  • In plant it occupy 50-90% of the cell volume.
  • Membrane of vacuole is called tonoplast.
  • It provides turgidity and rigidity to the cell.
  • It store amino acids, sugars, various organic acids and some proteins.
  • In unicellular organism like Amoeba , specialised vacuoles also play important roles in expelling excess water and some wastes from the cell.
Cell division:- 
The process by which new cells are made is called cell division.
Types:- two types.
  1. Meiosis and
  2. Mitosis
Meiosis/ Reductional division:-
  • It occurs in Germinal cells to form gametes i.e. sperm in male and ovum in female.
  • It is called Reductional division because number of chromosome in daughter cells get reduced to half on division.
Mitosis/Equational division:-
  • It occurs in somatic cells.
  • It is called Equational division because on division number of chromosome remain same in daughter cells.

Answer: Osmosis is the process of movement of water molecule from a region of higher water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of lower water concentration.

Question 9. Carry out the following osmosis experiment:
Take four peeled potato halves and scoop each one out to make potato cups, one of these potato cups should be made from a boiled potato. Put each potato cup in a trough containing water.
Now,
(a) Keep cup A empty
(b) Put one teaspoon sugar in cup B
(c) Put one teaspoon salt in cup C ‘
(d) Put one teaspoon sugar in the boiled potato cup D
Keep these for two hours. Then observe the four potato cups and answer the following:
(i) Explain why water gathers in the hollowed portion of B and C.
(ii) Why is potato A necessary for this experiment?
(iii) Explain why water does not gather in the hollowed out portions of A and D.
Answer:


(i) Water gathers in B and C because in both the situations there is difference in the concentration of water in the trough and water in the cup of Potato. Hence, osmosis takes place as the potato cells act as a semi-permeable membrane.
(ii) Potato A is necessary for this experiment for comparison, it acts as a control.
(iii) Water does not gather in the hollowed out portions of A and D. As cup of A does not have change in the concentration for water to flow. For osmosis to occur one of the concentration should be higher than the other.
In cup D, the cells are dead and hence the semi-permeable membrane does not exists for the flow of water and no osmosis takes place.

Life processes chap 6 class 10

 

What are life processes?

The processes which together perform their maintainence job are called life processes.

Important life processes are:-

  • Nutritional processes
  • Respiration
  • Transpotation
  • Excretions

Need of nutrition:- To get energy for growth, development, synthesising protein and other substances in the body.

Source:- Food rich in carbohydrates , fat, vitamins etc. (Balanced diet)

Mode of nutrition:- On the Basis of type of raw material:-two types

  •  Autotrophic nutrition
  • Heterotrophic nutrition 

Autotrophs:- Organisms make their own food itself from inorganic substances .(CO2 and H2O)

Example:- Green plants , cyanobacteria.

Autotrophic nutrition:- 

Mode of nutrition which is adopted by autotrophs.

Autotrophs makes their food by the process of photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis:- process by which autotrophs takes up substances (carbon dioxide and water) from outside and convert them into stored form of energy (starch).

Process takes place in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.

Stored carbohydrate are utilized slowly by plants whenever needed.

Reaction involved in photosynthesis:-

CO2 + H2O ( sunlight , chorophyll)-- > C6H12O6 + O2 + energy

Event occurs during the process of photosynthesis:- 

1. Absorption of light energy by chlorophyll

2. Conversion of light energy into chemical energy and splitting of water into H2 and O2

3. Reduction of CO2 to carbohydrate.

Note:- 

  • In cross section ,green Dots are cell organelles called chloroplast.
  • Chloroplasts contain CHLOROPHYLL.

Do all these events need to take place one after other? Justify with example.

No.

In desert plants , CO2 is taken up by plants at night and prepare an intermediate.

During day , energy absorbed by chlorophyll is acted upon intermediate to produce carbohydrate

How do plants exchange gases?

  • By stomata (at leaf)
  • By lenticels(at stem)
  • By roots surface

Stomata:- 

Location:- Tiny pores on the surface of leaf

Function:- 

  • gaseous exchange
  • Transpiration (loss of water from the aerial part of plant)
  • Photosynthesis .

Stomatal apparatus:-

  • pore
  • Guard cells ( contains chlorophyll)
  • Subsidiary cells 

Function of guard cells:

  • Opening and closing of pores 
  • Guard cell swell when water flow into them 
  • Due to this , stomatal pore open 
  • When guard cell shrink , pore closes.

How plants take up material for meet their energy requirements?

  • From air :- it takes CO2 ,
  • Sunlight is trapped by chlorophyll.
  • From soil it takes water and. Other nutrients like nitrates, nitrites, iron, magnesium, phosphorus etc. for healthy growth.

2. Heterotrophs:- 

  • Organisms which depend upon plants directly or indirectly for their nutrition are called heterotrophs.
  • It take complex substances and broken down into simpler ones with the help of  biocatalysis called enzymes.

Holozoic nutrition :

  • Organism takes up solid food and break it inside the body 
  • Example:- Amoeba, Cow, lion and man

On the basis of material intakes , it is of 3 types :

  • Herbivores ;- eat herbs . Example :- cow, deer 
  • Carnivores :- eat flesh. Example :- lion , tiger.
  • Omnivores :- eat herbs and meat . Example :- man

Saprophytic nutrition:

  • Organism which take food from dead and decay material.
  • These break down the food material outside the body and then absorb it .
  • Example :- fungi like yeast , mushroom and bread moulds

Parasitic nutrition :- 

  • Organism which live either in or on the host body and harm it .
  • Types :- Two types 
  • Ectoparasite:-  Live on the body of host. 
  • Example :- lice and ticks 
  • Endoparasite :- live inside the body of host .
  • Example :- leeches and tapeworm.

How do organisms obtain their nutrition ?

  • Different organisms obtain 
  • their nutrition in different ways:-
  • Example:- In Amoeba (unicellular Organism) , food is taken in by the entire surface .

Process involved :-


Pseudopodia--> capture food --> take in (food vacuole) --> digestion of food in food vacuole--> undigested food moves to the surface of cell and thrown out.

In Paramecium (unicellular Organism) :-

Food is taken in with the help of cilia present all over the body.

Ingestion occur at specific spot called gullet.

Nutrition in Multicellular organisms:- 

Steps involved :-

  • Ingestion (intake of food).
  • Digestion (break down of food)
  • Absorption ( movement of digested food into blood)
  • Assimilation (utilisation of material
  • Egestion (removal of waste)

Digestive system in human:-

Consist of digestive gland and alimentary canal

Parts involved in alimentary canal 

  • Mouth 
  • Oral cavity/ buccal cavity
  • Oesophagus / food pipe
  • Stomach (J shaped)


  • Small intestine
  • Large intestine
  • Rectum 
  • Anus

Digestive glands:-

  • Salivary gland
  • Gastric gland 
  • Liver  and pancreas
  • Intestinal gland













Function of oesophagus:- pushes the food into stomach by peristaltic movement.

Stomach:- contains gastric glands that secrete HCl , mucus and pepsin

HCl:- provide acidic medium for action of pepsin . Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme.

Kill harmful bacteria that enters the food.

Mucus:- protect inner lining of stomach for corrosive action of HCl

Pepsin:- digest protein

Further details are mentioned in table 

Absorption at small intestine:- 

  • Inner lining of small intestine has small finger like projections called villi .
  • Villi provide greater surface area for absorption.
  • It is richly supplied with blood vessels.
  • Blood vessels take away the absorbed food to each and every cell of the body.
  • In each cell this energy is utilised for obtaining energy, building up new tissues and repair the old tissues.
Absorption of water at large intestine:-
  • Unabsorbed food is sent to large intestine.
  • More villi absorb water material.
  • Rest removed from body via anus.
  • Exit of waste material is regulated by anil sphincter.

Breathing Vs Respiration

Enzyme :- these are biocatalyst which increases the rate of reaction (metabolic reaction) but itself remain same.


Breakdown of glucose by various pathways:-

First step :- breakdown of glucose into pyruvate.
Takes place in cytoplasm

 Anaerobic respiration :- 

  • Occur in absence of oxygen
  • Pyruvate gets converted into ethanol , carbon dioxide and energy
  • Example :- yeast
  • Takes place in cytoplasm.

Aerobic respiration :-

  • Presence of oxygen.
  • Pyruvate gets converted into CO2 ,H2O and energy
  • Example :- Homosapiens (the man)
  • Takes place in mitochondria.

Lack of O2 :- 

  • Pyruvate gets converted into lactic acid and energy.
  • Lactic acid produces cramps.
  • Occur in muscle cells during vigorous exercise.
  • Takes place in cytoplasm.

The energy released during cellular respiration is immediately used to synthesise a molecule of ATP.

ATP used as fuel in all the life activities.

Energy released by 1 mole of ATP is 30.5 KJ

Aerobic respiration in Plants :-

  • Plant exchange gases through stomata and the large intercellular spaces ensures that all cells are in contact with air.
  • Carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged by diffusion  

Direction of diffusion depends on :-

  • Environmental conditions and 
  • Requirements  of the plant.

At night :- 

  • No photosynthesis occur.
  • So carbon dioxide elimination is the major exchange.

During day:- 

  • CO2 used for photosynthesis 
  • So no Carbon dioxide release.
  • Oxygen release is the major events.

Aerobic respiration in aquatic organisms :- 

  • Use dissolved oxygen in water
  • Amount of dissolved oxygen is low as compared to amount of oxygen in air. So breathing rate in aquatic organisms is high.
  • Fishes take in water through their mouths and passes it to gills where the dissolved oxygen is taken up by blood.

Aerobic respiration in terrestrial Organisms :-

  • Use oxygen in atmosphere 
  • Oxygen is absorbed by different organs in different animals.
  • All these organs have a structure that increases the surface area which is in contact with oxygen rich atmosphere.
  • Since exchange of Carbon dioxide and oxygen has to take place across the surface and the surface is very fine and delicate so it has to be protected.
  • In order to protect these surface, these organs are placed within body.
  • Also there have to be passages that will take air to this area.

Human respiratory system:- 

Nostril :- Air is taken into the body through the nostril.

Nasal chamber :- 

  • Consist of fine hair and mucus 
  • Hair filter the air passing through nostril.
  • Mucus stick unwanted substances coming along with air.

Trachea:-

  •  contain rings of cartilage
  • Ensures air passage does not collapse

Bronchi:-

  •  Trachea divide into two and enter into lungs 
  • Now trachea , after entering into lungs is called bronchi

Bronchioles :- bronchi further divided into bronchioles 

Alveoli :- 

  • bronchioles finally terminate in balloon like structure which are called alveoli 
  • Alveoli provide a surface where exchange of gases can take place.
  • Wall of alveoli contain an extensive network of blood vessels which carry oxygen to different body cells and carbon dioxide to outside by alveoli surface.





Exchange of gases between alveoli blood and tissue :- 
  • Since in humans body size is large , the diffusion pressure alone cannot take care of O2 delivery to all parts of body .
  • So respiratory pigment (haemoglobin) is present in RBCs  whic combine with oxygen and take up it to tissues which are deficient in oxygen.
  • CO2 is more Soluble in water and hence is mostly transported in the dissolved form in our blood.
  • Residual volume:-  quantity of air that remains in the lungs after deepest forceful expiration.
Transportation in Human Beings:- 
  • Human beings like other multicellular organisms need regular supply of food and oxygen etc. 
  • This function is performed by circulatory system or transport system.
Circulatory system in human beings consists of:-

  • A pumping organ - Heart
  • Blood vessels - Arteries , veins and capillaries
  • A circulatory medium - blood and lymph

Our pump - the heart

  • Muscular organ which is as big as our fist.
  • Four chambered to prevent oxygen rich blood from mixing with blood containing CO2 .
  • Atrium are thick walled 
  • Left side of heart carry oxygenated blood bring by pulmonary vein from lungs.
  • This oxygenated blood is then pumped to rest of body by dorsal aorta
  • Right side of heart carry deoxygenated blood bring by Vena Cava from different body parts.
Process step by step :- 

Step 1:- Oxygen rich blood from lungs comes to thin walled left atrium. 

This atrium relaxed when it is collecting this blood.

Step 2:- Left Atrium contract so that blood is transferred to left ventricle.

Left ventricle relax this time.

Step 3:- Left ventricle contract and blood is pumped out to the body

Step 4:- De oxygenated blood comes from body to right atrium, as it expands.

Step 5:- The right atrium contracts and the right ventricle dilates.

This transfer blood to right ventricle.

After this blood pumps to lungs for oxygenation.

Valves ensures that blood does not flow backward when atria or ventricles contract.


Double circulation:- Blood travels twice through the heart in one complete cycle of the body.

Pulmonary circulation :- Blood moves from heart to lungs and back to the heart.

Systemic circulation :- Blood moves from heart to rest of the body and back to the heart.

Fishes have two chambered heart.

Amphibians and reptiles have three chambered heart.

The tubes - blood vessels 

Arteries , veins and capallaries


Capillaries:- On reaching an organ or tissue, Arteries divides into smaller and smaller vessels to bring the blood in contact with all the individual cells.

The smallest vessels have one celled thick wall and called capillaries

Exchange of material between blood and surrounding cells takes place across this thin wall.

The capallaries then join together to form veins.

A circulating medium :- 

  • Blood and lymph

Blood:- 

  • A fluid connective tissue 
  • Two components :-
  • Solid components - blood  corpuscles and
  • Liquid component - plasma


Plasma :-  A yellow colour fluid contain 90% water and 10% organic substances like proteins (Albumin, Globulin , inorganic mineral ions)

Functions of Plasma:- Transport food , carbon dioxide and nitrogenous wastes in dissolved form .

Functions of platelets :- 

Platelets plugs the leaks (if occur) in the blood vessels by helping to clot the blood at these points of injury.

Lymph / Tissue fluid :- Through the pores present in the walls of capallaries some amount of plasma , proteins and blood escape into intercellular spaces in the tissue to form lymph

Properties of lymph:-

Similar to plasma of blood but colourless and contains less protein

How lymph circulate:-

  • Lymph drain into lymphatic capallaries.
  • Lymphatic capallaries join to form large vessels
  • Lymph vessels open into larger veins.

Functions of lymph:- 

  • Lymph carries digested and absorbed fat from intestine
  • It drains excess fluid from extra cellular space back into blood.

Blood pressure:- 

  •  Force that blood exerts against wall of a vessel is called blood pressure.
  • BP is greater in arteries 
  • BP is less in veins

Systolic pressure:- Pressure f blood inside the artery during ventricular systole (contraction) is called systolic pressure.

Normal systolic pressure is about 120 mm of Hg

Diastolic pressure :- pressure of blood inside the artery during ventricular diastole (relaxation) is called diastolic pressure.

Normal diastolic pressure is 80 mm of Hg.

Sphygmo-mamo-meter :- Instrument that measured BP.

Hypertension / high BP:-  caused by constriction of arterioles.

Results in increased resistance to blood flow 

Can lead to rupture of artery

Transportation in plants:- 

  • If the distance between the soil contacting organs and chlorophyll containing organs are small, then energy and raw material can easily diffuse to all parts of plant body.
  • But if these distances become large , diffusion process will not be sufficient to provide raw material in leaves and energy in roots 
  • So a proper system of transportation is essential

Transport of water by xylem and phloem :- 

  • Vessels and tracheids of roots , stem and leaves are interconnected.
  • This forms a continuous system of water conducting channels reaching all parts of plants.
  • At roots , cells in contact with soil actively take up ions.
  • This create concentration difference between root and soil.
  • So to eliminate  this difference water moves into root from the soil.
  • In this way  there is steady movement of water into root xylem , creating a column of water that is steadily pushed upward.
  • Along with this evaporation of water molecules from stomata also create a suction which pulls water from xylem cells of root.
  • This evaporation is called transpiration.

Transpiration :-  loss of water in the form of vapour from aerial parts of plants.

Role of Transpiration:- Help in absoption and upward movement of water and minerals.

Help in temperature regulation.

Transport of food and other substances by phloem :- 

  • The transport of soluble product of photosynthesis is called translocation.
  • Phloem transport this Soluble product .
  • Phloem also transport amino acids and other substances ( derived by root , stem etc)
  •  Translocation of food and other substances takes place by sieve tubes and companion cells .
  • It occur in both upward and downward direction.
  • Occur by active transport so energy use.

Mechanism :- 

  • Material like sucrose is transferred into phloem tissue by using energy from ATP 
  • This increases osmotic pressure of tissue causing water to move into it.
  • This pressure move material in the phloem to tissues which have less pressure.
  • This allow phloem to move material according to plants need.

Excretion:- 

  • The biological process of removal of harmful metabolic nitrogenous wastes from the body .
  • Unicellular Organism remove waste by simple diffusion.
  • Multicellular organisms have specialized organs to do this job .

Excretion in human beings:- 


  • Consists of :-
  • One pair of kidney
  • One pair of ureter
  • A urinary bladder
  • A urethra

How is urine produced?

Purpose:-

  • To filter out waste products from blood .
  • Waste products are nitrogenous wastes like urea (human beings) or uric acid (birds) or Ammonia( aquatic life)
  • Basic filtration unit is nephron
  • Nephron is structural and functional unit of kidney.

Mechanism :- 

Step 1 :- Glomerular filtration :-

  •  The first step in urine formation is filteration of blood, which is carried out by glomerulus and is called glomerular filtration.
  • Glomerulus reside in Bowmans' capsules.

Step 2:- Tubular reabsorption :- 

  • Useful substances from filterate like Na+ ,K+ , C6H12O6 etc are reabsorbed by capillaries surrounding nephron into blood.

Step 3:- secretion :- 

  • Urea , extra water and salts are secreted into tubules which open into collecting duct and then into ureter.
  • Ureter take the urine from kidney to urinary bladder and then it come out through urethra.

Hemodialysis / Artificial kidney:- 

  • A device used to remove nitrogenous wastes products from blood through dialysis.
  • Meant for kidney failure patient.

Excretion in plants :- 

  • O2 released during photosynthesis 
  • H2O by Transpiration 
  • Waste may be stored in leaves, bark etc which fall off from tree.
  • Waste products stored as gums , resin in old roots .
  • Plants excrete some waste into soil around them.
