NCERT solution

(1)

Identify the correct sequence of taxonomical categories?
(a) Species - Order - Phylum - Kingdom
(b) Genus - Species - Order - Kingdom
(c) Species - Genus - Order- Phylum



SOLUTION
(a) and (c) represent correct sequences of taxonomic categories as the correct hierarchical arrangement of taxonomic categories in ascending order is
Species → Genus → Family → Order → Class → Phylum → Kingdom
In sequence (b), species should have been followed by genus. Therefore, it does not represent the correct sequence.

DEFINITION

Hierarchical of classification groups
  • Carolus von Linnaeus created a hierarchical classification system using seven taxonomic categories.
  • Kingdom - Top most taxonomic category.
  • Phylum - Term used for animals while its synonym division is used for plants.
  • Class - One or more than one order makes a class.
  • Order - One or more than one similar families constitute order.
  • Family - Collection of similar genera.
  • Genus - Group of similar species.
  • Species - Group of population which is similar in form, shape and reproductive features so that fertile sibling can be produced.

Respiration in plants concept 14

01   DEFINITION Cellular respiration Cellular respiration is the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between blood and cells or within the cell. It is the biochemical pathway to release energy. 02   DEFINITION Respiration and burning Respiration is also called as a process to burn nuteirnts in the presence of oxygen to produce energy. But still different from burning. The difference are as follows: Respiration Burning/combustion 1. It occurs in series of chemical steps i.e., stepped process. It occurs in a single step. 2. It is carried out by enzymes. It is carried out by heat. 3. It is a biochemical process. It is a physiochemical process. 4. Energy is liberated as ATP and heat. Energy is liberated as heat and light. 5. No light energy is produced. Light energy is produced. 6. It takes place inside a cell. It does not takes place inside a cell. 7. It occurs at body temperature. It occurs at high temperature. 03  ...

Contact 8 Call-basic unit of life

01 DEFINITION Cell- Basic unit of life The cell is the basic unit of life (smallest unit of a living being). It is the structural unit of life because several cells make the structure of an entire organism (e.g. animal body is made of different cells; brain-brain/nerve cells, muscle- muscle cells) It is also the functional unit of life because several cells are responsible for proper functioning of an organism as a whole. 02 DEFINITION Contributors to the study of cell The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life. Anton Von Leeuwenhoek first saw and described a live cell.  Robert Hooke first coined the term Cell after observing the compartments in the thin-sliced cork. Matthias Schleiden, a German botanist reported that all plants are composed of different kinds of cells which form the tissues of the plant. Theodore Schwann (1839), a British Zoologist proposed that; Cells have a thin layer (plasma membrane), Cell wall is un...

Chapter-1 The living world class 11 concepts

Biology-  The living world  01   DEFINITION Introduction to systematics The kind of cells that living organisms are made up of is a more basic characteristics for classifying organisms, than on the basis of their habitat. 02   DEFINITION Systematics Systematics is the branch of biology that deals with the diversity of organisms and their comparative and evolutionary relationships based on comparative anatomy, comparative biochemistry, comparative physiology and comparative ecology. 03   DEFINITION Advantages of classification Classification makes the study of such a large number of living organism easy. It presents before us the vast variety of life at a glance. It helps us in understanding the relationships among the organisms. It helps to give us an idea of evolution. It serves as a basis for several allied branches of biology. 04   DEFINITION Hierarchical of class...
