Plant Survival Strategies and Nutrition Processes

Glucose molecules are the food for plants, with excess food being stored in the plant's body.
Plants can survive without water for a few days due to stored glucose in the form of starch.
Terrestrial plants follow a sequence of absorption, conversion, and reduction for survival.
Zero phytic plants, like cacti and acacia, require minimal water and open stomata only at night to conserve water.
Guard cells regulate stomata openings for gas exchange in plants.
Stomata openings are controlled by the swelling and shrinking of guard cells.
Transpiration, the process of water evaporation through stomata, helps plants regulate excess water.
Leaves have a structure with midrib, lamina, veins, and conduction tissues like xylem and phloem.
Heterotrophic mode of nutrition includes parasitic, saprophytic, and holozoic methods.
Amoeba demonstrates holozoic nutrition through ingestion, digestion, and absorption of food.

"Nutrition and Digestion in Amoeba and Humans"

Pseudo Podia are fake feet present in Amoeba, aiding in movement towards food absorption.
Food is absorbed through the bio membrane after being dissolved by digestive enzymes in Amoeba.
Digestive enzymes in Amoeba break down food in the cytoplasm, leading to absorption of digested food.
Energy is derived from absorbed food in Amoeba's cytoplasm.
Amoeba expels undigested food through its membrane.
Paramecium follows a similar process to Amoeba but with differences in movement and food entry.
Human nutrition involves a complex digestive system with the alimentary canal and accessory glands.
Peristalsis aids in moving food through the alimentary canal via rhythmic contractions.
Mastication in the mouth involves teeth, tongue, and saliva to break down food.
Human dental formula consists of 32 teeth, including incisors, canines, premolars, and molars in specific numbers.

52:24

Digestive System: Teeth to Absorption in Intestines

Canines are bitten by biting or Bitis teeth are premolar or What is the function of molar which is called da? Grinding comes to grind food.
The dental formula consists of layers: enamel, dentine, cement, and pulp, with enamel being the hardest substance covering teeth.
Cavities are formed due to bacteria mixing with food, producing acid that damages enamel and dentine, leading to tooth decay.
Plaque, a layer formed by bacteria and food particles, can lead to acid formation, causing decay in enamel and dentine.
Saliva helps neutralize acid to prevent tooth decay, emphasizing the importance of brushing teeth twice daily.
Food bolus moves from the mouth to the stomach through the esophagus, with digestion starting in the stomach.
The stomach, with its parts like cardia, fundus, body, and antrum, secretes pepsin, hydrochloric acid, and mucus for digestion.
The small intestine, the longest part of the alimentary canal, aids in maximum digestion, with bile from the liver and enzymes from the pancreas crucial for fat and protein breakdown.
The pancreas secretes enzymes like trypsin and lipase for protein and fat digestion in the small intestine.
Microvilli in the small intestine increase surface area for quick absorption of digested food, while those in the large intestine aid in absorption as well.

Digestive System Functions and Processes Explained

Water from digested fruit should be already digested to extract minerals and vitamins in the large intestine.
The digestive system includes ascending and descending colon, and the rectum signals when food is ready to be expelled.
Saliva from digested food helps solidify it, and food stored in the rectum triggers the body to expel waste.
Ejaculation exits the body through the anus, with two types of muscles in the anus for food removal.
Glycogen from digested food is stored in the liver for energy, especially during fasting periods.
Shivdas's book is recommended for 2025 board exams, particularly for SST subjects.
Respiration is the process where energy is derived from food in the presence of oxygen, with aerobic and anaerobic respiration types.
Glucose from nutrition is converted into pyruvate, which is further processed based on oxygen availability in mitochondria.
Fermentation in yeast produces ethanol and CO2 in the absence of oxygen, useful in bread-making.
Breathing and cellular respiration are the two steps of respiration, with oxygen intake and CO2 release through the lungs. ATP stores energy in the body, releasing it when needed for various bodily functions.

"Respiration: Energy Production and Oxygen Transport"

Respiration is a catabolic process where glucose is broken down to produce energy.
Metabolic processes in the body are either catabolic (breaking down) or anabolic (building up).
Plants show aerobic respiration during the day, utilizing sunlight for photosynthesis.
During photosynthesis, plants require CO2, which is produced during aerobic respiration.
Oxygen and glucose are products of photosynthesis, releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.
Aquatic animals like fish breathe through gills to extract oxygen from water.
The concentration of oxygen in water is lower than in the atmosphere, leading to increased respiration rates in aquatic animals.
Humans and plants respire through diffusion, but humans have higher energy requirements.
The respiratory system in humans includes the nose, trachea, bronchioles, and lungs enclosed in the rib cage.
Oxygen is carried in the blood by hemoglobin in red blood cells, with a higher affinity for oxygen than carbon dioxide.
