    Study Notes

    Class Angiospermae (Characteristics)

    • Most complex group of green plants, characterized by advanced structures.
    • Vascular plants that produce complete, well-developed flowers.
    • Seeds are enclosed within fruits, providing protection and aiding in dispersal.
    • Specialized reproductive mechanisms including pollination and fertilization.
    • Divided into two subclasses: Monocotyledonaceae (monocots) and Dicotyledonaceae (dicots).

    Sub-Class Monocotyledonaceae (Characteristics)

    • Seeds contain only one cotyledon.
    • Leaves feature parallel venation, aiding in efficient water transport.
    • Lack secondary growth, resulting in non-woody structures.
    • Fibrous root systems provide stability and nutrient absorption.
    • Floral parts are typically in groups of three or multiples thereof.
    • Vascular bundles are scattered within the stem structure.
    • Common examples include cereals, oil palm, and grasses.

    Sub-Class Dicotyledonaceae (Characteristics)

    • Seeds have two cotyledons, providing dual nutrient sources during germination.
    • Leaves exhibit reticulate (net-like) venation patterns.
    • Undergo secondary growth/thickening, resulting in woody structures.
    • Possess a tap root system for deep soil penetration and support.
    • Floral parts occur in groups of four or five.
    • Vascular bundles arranged in a ring form within the stem.
    • Common examples include mangoes, oranges, cowpeas, and balsam plants.

    Phylum Annelida (Characteristics)

    • Metamerically segmented worms featuring distinct internal and external segments.
    • Characterized by long, cylindrical bodies.
    • Possesses a true body cavity known as a coelom.
    • Habitat includes both aquatic and terrestrial environments.
    • Complete alimentary canal with two openings for food processing.
    • Exhibits sexual reproduction and hermaphroditic traits in some species.
    • Comprised of three distinct tissue layers (triploblastic).
    • Common members include earthworms, leeches, and tubeworms.

    Phylum Mollusca (Characteristics)

    • Soft-bodied invertebrates that lack segmentation.
    • Possess tentacles on their heads for sensory functions.
    • Feature a muscular foot adapted for crawling or burrowing.
    • Bodies are covered by a soft tissue called mantle.
    • Some species have a calcareous shell for protection.
    • Include both aquatic and terrestrial species.
    • Sensitivity is enhanced through eyes and tentacles.
    • Common members include mussels, snails, octopus, oysters, and slugs.

    Phylum Arthropoda (Characteristics)

    • Largest phylum within the kingdom Animalia; characterized by jointed limbs.
    • Includes four main classes:
      • Crustacea (e.g., lobsters, crabs, prawns)
      • Insecta (e.g., grasshoppers, butterflies, houseflies)
      • Arachnida (e.g., spiders, scorpions)
      • Myriapoda (e.g., centipedes, millipedes).

    Differences Between Plant Cells and Animal Cells

    • Plant cells possess a rigid cellulose cell wall; animal cells lack this structure.
    • Large central vacuole is present in plant cells, while animal cells contain smaller vacuoles.
    • Chloroplasts for photosynthesis are found in plant cells; absent in animal cells.
    • Cytoplasm of plant cells contains starch granules; animal cells contain glycogen granules.
    • Plant cells are typically larger and have a regular shape; animal cells are smaller and irregular.
    • Lysosomes are present in animal cells but absent in plant cells.
    • Plant cells do not have centrioles; animal cells do have centrioles.
    • Plant cell cytoplasm is generally less dense compared to that of animal cells.

    Levels of Organization of Life

    • Cells: Fundamental unit of structure and function, specialized for specific roles (e.g., blood, phloem).
    • Tissues: Group of similar cells working together (e.g., blood, muscle).
    • Organs: Composed of tissues functioning together (e.g., heart, leaves).
    • Organ Systems: Associations of organs fulfilling collective functions (e.g., digestive, nervous).
    • Organisms: Complete living entities; may be unicellular (bacteria) or multicellular (humans).

    Structure Analysis

    • Examines relationships between component parts and larger systems.
    • Examples include neuron structure leading to the nervous system and osteoblasts forming the skeletal system.

    Specialized Cells

    • Developed specific characteristics for unique functions controlled by genes.
    • Types of specialized cells include:
      • Ciliated cells: Aid in moving mucus.
      • Root hair cells: Absorb water and minerals.
      • Xylem vessels: Conduct water and support.
      • Palisade mesophyll cells: Conduct photosynthesis.
      • Nerve cells: Transmit impulses.
      • Red blood cells: Transport oxygen.
      • Sperm and egg cells: Involved in reproduction.

    Size of Specimen

    • Organelles in cells are measured in micrometres due to their small size.
    • Enzymes, as biological catalysts, are essential for metabolic reactions.

    Characteristics of Enzymes

    • Enzymes are proteins with specific actions influenced by temperature and pH.
    • Their functions can be retarded by co-enzymes and are reversible.
    • Enzymes are effective in small quantities and can be reused in reactions.

    Enzyme Specificity

    • Enzymes work on specific substrates due to complementary shapes at active sites, explained by the lock and key hypothesis.
    • Formation of enzyme-substrate complexes leads to product formation.

    Effects of Temperature on Enzymes

    • The optimum temperature facilitates maximum reaction rates; increasing temperature initially boosts activity.
    • Excessive heat causes denaturation, altering the active site shape and impeding functionality.

    Enzymes and pH

    • Enzyme activity is sensitive to surrounding pH levels, impacting overall function and efficiency.
