    Study Notes

    Vision Defects

    • Another name for myopia is nearsightedness.
    • In hypermetropia, the vision is affected as the light rays from a closeby object are focused at a point behind the retina.
    • Myopia is corrected using a concave lens.
    • The exact cause of myopia is not known, but it is thought to be related to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
    • Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a defect that can be corrected by using a concave lens.
    • In myopia, the far point is closer than normal.
    • Hypermetropia arises when the light rays from a closeby object are focused at a point behind the retina.
    • Presbyopia arises due to the gradual weakening of the ciliary muscles and diminishing flexibility of the eye lens.
    • In some individuals, bifocal lenses are required for correcting both myopia and hypermetropia.
    • Hypermetropia is a defect that arises when the focal length of the eye lens is too long or the eyeball has become too small.
    • In hypermetropia, the focal length of the eye lens is too long or the eyeball has become too small.
    • A convex lens is used to provide additional focusing power required for forming the image on the retina in individuals with hypermetropia.
    • Hypermetropia can be corrected by using a convex lens of appropriate power.
    • In individuals requiring correction for both myopia and hypermetropia, bifocal lenses facilitate distant vision.
    • Presbyopia arises when the near point of a person gradually recedes away due to the weakening of the power of accommodation with ageing.
    • Hypermetropia arises because the eyeball has become too small or the focal length of the eye lens is too long.
    • Bifocal lenses can be used to correct both myopia and hypermetropia in some individuals.

    Photosynthesis

    • Autotrophs fulfill their carbon and energy requirements through the process of photosynthesis.
    • Heterotrophs directly or indirectly depend on autotrophs for their survival.
    • Autotrophs are organisms that use simple food material obtained from inorganic sources like carbon dioxide and water.
    • Enzymes are the bio-catalysts used by organisms to break down complex substances into simpler ones for energy and growth.
    • Photosynthesis involves the conversion of substances from the outside into stored forms of energy in autotrophs.
    • The primary purpose of storing carbohydrates in the form of starch in plants is to provide energy for growth and development.
    • The initial step of photosynthesis involves the absorption of light energy by pigments such as chlorophyll.
    • Chlorophyll, essential for photosynthesis, resides in chloroplasts in plant cells.
    • Chlorophyll plays a crucial role in the process of photosynthesis by absorbing light energy.
    • In C4 plants, the steps of photosynthesis do not occur immediately after each other.
