Multicellularity Plant Life

i. Concept of species – Various taxons and categories, Hierarchial levers of classification, Binomial nomenclature, principles of classification.

ii Conquest of land –Life history- Life of Fern( Nephrolepis), Cycas and angiosperms (Hibiscus, Jowar, Bajra) - Anatomy, development of seed habit, flower and fruit (Development of Reproductive structures not expected)

iii Physiology Transpiration: Transpiration and exchange of gases, stomatal Mechanism.

Photosynthesis: Ultra-structure and functions of chloroplast, photochemical and biosynthetic phases, diversity in photosynthetic pathways, significance.

Respiration: Ultra-structure and function of mitochondrion, glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electron transport system, fermentation, significance.

Growth : Plant hormones and growth regulation, action of plant hormones in relation to seed dormancy and germination , apical dominance.

Reproduction: Asexual and sexual Brief account of mode of sexual reproduction in multicellular lower plants-antheridium and archegonium. Sexual reproduction in angiosperms Pollination, structure of male and female gametophytes, fertilization, formation of endosperm embryo, seed and fruit.

Biology ( Zoology )

Section (B) – General Biology And Zoology Evolution of Life

Evolution: Definition, Darwin’s theory of natural selection (Common origin, recombination as a source of variability, Role of selection on variation, adaptation, reproductive isolation and speciation.)

ii) Human evolution: Paleontological evidences, Brief idea of the Dryopithecus , Australopithecus, Homo-erectus, Homo - meanderthalensis, Cro - magnon, Homo-sapiens.

Continuity of Life:

v. Pollution –Air, Water –effect and control

vi. Human population –Growth, problems and control

Multicellularity

Structure and functions of animal life with reference to mammals:

i. Circulation –Closed vascular system, Heart –structure and pumping action, Arterial blood pressures.

ii Excretion and Osmo-regulation: Aminotelism, uriotelism, uricotelism, Excretion of water and urea, with special refernce to man, role of Kidney, in regulation of plasma, osmoregularity on the basis of structure of nephron: role of skin and lungs, in excretion.
