Study Notes
Tissues
- Tissues are groups of similar cells adapted for specific functions.
- Plant tissues have simpler organization and many are dead, growth is contained.
- Animal tissues are complex, more living tissues, and growth is not limited.
Plant Parts
- Shoot system: Includes stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits.
-
Root system: Includes roots.
- Taproots: Found in dicots, primary root grows and becomes stout, secondary roots grow from the primary.
- Fibrous roots: Found in monocots, roots from lower nodes.
- Adventitious roots: Develop from shoots.
-
Flower: For reproduction, parts include stamen, filament, anther, stigma, style, ovary, ovule, petal, and sepal.
- Complete flower: Contains both stamen and pistil
- Incomplete flower: Lacks either stamen or pistil.
- Naked flower: Without petals or sepals.
Animal Tissues
- Epithelial: For protection, absorption, secretion, and sensory.
- Connective: For support, binding, transport, and immunity.
- Muscular: For movement.
- Nervous: For nerve impulse conduction and body coordination.
Muscle Tissues
- Skeletal: Striated, tubular, multi-nucleated, voluntary, attached to skeleton.
- Smooth: Non-striated, spindle-shaped, uni-nucleated, involuntary, internal organs.
- Cardiac: Striated, branched, uni-nucleated, involuntary, heart.
Connective Tissues
- Connective tissue proper (Loose, dense regular, dense irregular, adipose, reticular)
- Cartilage (hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage)
- Bone
- Blood
Plant Tissues
- Meristematic: Actively dividing cells, at root and shoot tips.
-
Permanent: Do not divide further
Simple Permanent Tissue and its types:
- Parenchyma, Collenchyma, Sclerenchyma Complex Permanent Tissue and its types:
- Xylem, Phloem
Stems
- Woody: Persistent woody stems, strong, covered with bark, tall, perennial plants.
- Herbaceous: No persistent woody stem, flexible, green, short, annual or perennial.
Fruits
- Fleshy: With pulp (e.g., apple, papaya, lemon).
- Dry: Without pulp (e.g., groundnut, peas).
Plant Hormones
- Auxin: Growth coordination, plant development.
- Cytokinin: Cell division in roots and shoots.
- Gibberellin: Growth, development (stem elongation, germination, etc.).
- Ethylene: Fruit ripening.
- Abscisic acid: Stress hormone (stomata closure, shoot growth inhibition).
Plant Response to Stimuli
- Phototropism: Response to light.
- Gravitropism: Response to gravity.
- Geotropism: Response to gravity.
- Hydrotropism: Response to water.
- Thigmotropism: Response to touch.
- Chemotropism: Response to chemicals.
Cell Division
-
Mitosis: Produces two identical diploid daughter cells (somatic cells: growth, repair).
-
Meiosis: Produces four non-identical haploid daughter cells (gametes: reproduction).
-
Stages of Mitosis: Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
-
Stages of Meiosis: Interphase, Prophase I (Synapsis, Crossing-over), Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I, Cytokinesis, Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II, Cytokinesis.
Mitosis & Meiosis
- Phases of mitosis (PMAT) & cytokinesis.
- Phases of meiosis.
- Comparison between Mitosis and Meiosis
- Importance to the animal body.
Genetics
- Gene: Functional unit of DNA.
- Genosome: Total genes in an organism.
- Allele: Variant form of a gene.
- Homozygous: Identical alleles.
- Heterozygous: Non-identical alleles.
- Genotype: Genetic makeup.
- Phenotype: Observable traits.
- Monohybrid: Single trait.
- Dihybrid: Two traits.
- Polyhybrid: Multiple traits.
- Law of Segregation: During gamete formation, alleles separate.
- Law of Independent Assortment: Alleles of different genes separate independently.
- Multiple Alleles: Multiple possible alleles for a gene (e.g., ABO blood typing).
- Codominance: Both alleles are expressed (e.g., AB blood type).
- Incomplete dominance: Offspring blend parental traits (e.g., red x white = pink).
- Epistasis: One gene modifies another's expression.
- Sex-linked recessive disorders: traits associated with sex chromosomes (red-green color blindness, hemophilia).
- Patterns for transmission of Sex-linked Traits.
Respiration
- Equation: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP
- Types: Aerobic (with oxygen), Anaerobic (without oxygen).
- Stages: Glycolysis, Pyruvate oxidation, Citric acid cycle, Oxidative phosphorylation.
Photosynthesis
- Equation: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Light Energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
- Stages: Light reactions (thylakoid membrane) and Carbon-fixing reactions (stroma).
Fermentation
- Types: Alcoholic, lactic acid, acetic acid, ethanol, malolactic, butyric acid.
Punnett Square
