|---|---|---|
| 1. | It is a watery fluid that is present in the area between the lens and the cornea. | It is a semisolid transparent. jelly like substance that covers the .interior portion of the eye. |
| 2. | It is responsible for the nourishment of both Cornea and the lens | It helps is maintaining the shape of the eye and causes refraction of light before it reaches the retina. |

(iii) Cell consists of cytoplasm enclosed within them a membrane,
which contains many biomolecules, such as protein and Nucleic acids.

(ii) It is the process by which an organism regulates the H2O balance in its body and maintains the homeostasis of the body.
(iii) It includes controlling excess H2O loss or gain and maintaining the fluid balance and the osmotic concentration.
(iv) It ensures that the fluids in the body do not get too diluted or concentrated.
(v) There are two types of osmoregulation.
Osmoconformers:
There organisms try to maintain the osmolarity of their body matching with their surroundings.
Eg : Most of the invertebrates, marine organisms
Osmoregulators:
There organisms maintain their internal osmolality which can be extremely different from that of the surroundings environment, through physiological processes.
18.
(i) The lungs are organs in the chest cavity that allow our body to take in O2 from the air.
(ii) They also help to remove CO2 from the body.
(iii) The left lung is slightly smaller than the right lung.
(iv) Within the lungs each bronctiole leads to a bunch of air sacs called alveoli.
(v) The lungs are two spongy elastic bags on each side of the thoracic cavity.
(vi) The thoracic cavity is bound dorsally by the vertebral column and ventrally by the sternum, laterally by the ribs and on the lower side by the dome shaped diaphragm.
(vii) Alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs that take up the O2 we breathe and keep our body going. : In alveoli the exchange of O2 and CO2

19.
Sclera:
It is a tough and thick white sheath that protects the inner parts of the eye. It is the white of the eye.
Conjunctiva:
It is a thin transparent membrane that is spread across the sclera. It keeps the eyes moist and clear by secreting small amounts of mucus and tears.

It is the transparent layer of membrane that is spread over the pupil and the iris. The main role of the cornea is to refract the light that enters the eyes.
Iris:
It is a pigmented layer of tissues that make up the coloured portion of the eye. Its primary function in to control the sing of the pupil. depending on the amount of light enterning it.
Pupil:
It is the small opening located at the middle of the iris. It allows light to come in.
