1.1 THE STUDY OF BIOLOGY
Biology is the study of living things. A large variety
riety of living
ving things exists on the

land, in the water and in the air. Living things (organisms)

humans and other organisms. Thus, biology dealss with the study of all organism
organisms that live
or have ever lived on the earth.

1.1.1 The Importance of Biology in Everyday eryday Life


Biology is very fundamental and important rtantt science dealing w with bacteria, protista,
fungi, plants and animals including humans. Their
g hhum ructures and ffunctions are associated
ir structures
with one another in their respective environments. To
tive env
environ o a great extent, we owe our daily high

standard of living to biological cal advances in two areas: food

Movement ent
All living things show some kinds of movement. This is more obvious in animals
since they have organs of movement or locomotion. Movements in plants mainly take place
inside the cells although some results from a stimulus such as light.

Irritability
Living things respond to stimulus. The stimulus can be any changes in the
environment (light, sound, touch, temperature, etc.) which brings about a reaction in an
organism due to a sensitivity to the stimulus.

early in the history of life. Subsequently, many new kinds of organisms have evolved. Each
of these kingdoms has its own set of characteristics.

1.3.1 Kingdoms of Living Things


Organisms are divided into six kingdoms. There are two kingdoms within

cells.

only in the living host cells.

The cells of bacteria and archaea are prokaryotic (Figure 2.1) while those of protists,
fungi, plants and animals are eukaryotic (Figure 2.2 and 2.3). Prokaryotic cells evolved before
eukaryotic cells and they lack a true nucleus. A membrane bounds the nuclear materials of
a true nucleus. Eukaryotic cell possesses a true nucleus. Prokaryotic cell possesses nuclear
materials but lacks a nuclear membrane. Prokaryotic cells are 0.1 - 5.0 Pm in diameter while
eukaryotic cells are typically 10 - 100 Pm in diameter.

Atoms are organized into molecules, molecules into organelles and organelles into
cells. Cells are divided into several compartments called organelles, each with a characteristic
structure, biochemical composition and function. The cell must possess enough information
to specify which molecules are to be associated in a specific compartment. It is ensured
to route the appropriate groups of molecules to their compartments. According rding to th
the cell
theory, all living things are composed of one or more cells as unicellular multicellular

3.1.2 Support Systems in Terrestrial Plants


The plant has various methods and systems for support to maintain its shape and
for its protection. The types of support are physiological and structural. The physiological
support is a temporary support because it depends on the presence of water in the plant cells.
There is no support if the water in the plant cells is lost.

of the cell by osmosis. An internal pressure is

built up inside the cell vacuole, called turgor
pressure. The pressure pushes the plasma
membrane against the cell wall, causing the
cell to swell. The cell becomes turgid to get
the support (Figure 3.6).

3.1.4 Support System in Humans


The human skeleton has about 206 bones which can be categorized as part of either
the axial or appendicular skeleton. The bones of the skeleton provide sites for muscle
attachment, making movement possible particularly with jointed appendages.
The human endoskeletal system has many functions that contribute to homhomeostasis.
The rigid endoskeleton supports the body. (1) The skeleton protects vital internal organs

such as the brain, spinal cord, heart and lungs. (2) The bones of the skeleton vid ssites

(3) The skeleton serves as an important storage reservoir for ions ns such as calciu

Cartilage
If the two bones were in contact with one another, they would rub together every
time they moved and eventually, the ends of the bones would wear down. But the ends

3.2 MOVEMENT IN PLANTS


The plants are fixed at a place with their roots in the ground. Although they cannot
move from one place to another by their bodies but they can move with their parts. These
movements are caused due to response of plants to external stimuli such as light, water,
gravity, chemicals, etc. Plants show two types of movements.
1. Growth-dependent movements called the tropic movements (towards ards or away
aw
from a stimulus) and
2. Non-growth dependent movements called the nastic movements ments (nott depe

3.3 MOVEMENT AND LOCOMOTION IN ANIMALS AND HUMANS


The ability to move in animals is made possible by the combination of a semi rigid
skeletal system with joints that act as hinges and a muscular system attached that can pull
on this skeleton. Muscular action produces a change in body shape, which places a force on

Fertilizatio takes place inside the ovary inside which is the female gamete. One or

The bbody of the ovule is termed as the nucellus and one or two layers of integuments
cover it.. A pore, left uncovered, at the tip of the ovule, is the micropyle. Embedded in the
nucellus is a large oval-shaped embryo sac, containing eight nuclei. Three of these are
situated at the micropylar end. The biggest is called the egg cell or the female gamete. The
other two are the synergids. At the opposite end are three nuclei, known as the antipodal
cells. At the centre of the embryo sac are two polar nuclei (Figure 5.12).

5.1.2 Reproduction in Animals


Two types of reproduction, asexual and sexual, are found among the animals.
Asexual means ‘without sex’ and this method of reproduction does not involve gametes (sex
cells). In sexual reproduction, gametes from male and female combine to form an embryo
which then grows into a young organism.

Sexual reproduction in humans


In humans, like in other mammals, an ovum from a female (a woman) is fertilized
by a sperm from a male (a man), after sexual intercourse. This produces an embryo in the
woman’s uterus. After 270 days of conception which is about nine months, an embryo
grows into a foetus and then a baby is born.

within 36 hours, it dies and the uterus lining breaks down slowly. The dead egg together with

Mitosis
Mitosis is a process that creates a nearly exact copy of the parental cells. The mitotic
cell division involves mitosis and cytokinesis. Mitosis is the division of the nucleus and
results into two identical daughter nuclei. Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm into
two cells. After mitosis and cytokinesis, two diploid daughter cells which aree ggenetically
identical to the diploid parent cells (Figure 5.24).

Importance of meiosis
Meiotic cell division produces four haploid sex cells from existing diploid cell and
therefore it creates genetic variation. Meiosis is nature’s way of keeping the chromosome
number constant from generation to generation.
