Nutrient cycle in environment

  BIO-GEO CHEMICAL CYCLE OR NUTRIENT CYCLE       Bio  -    Living organism       Geo  -    Rock, Soil, Air, Water Chemical   -  Material or Nutrients        Cycle   -   Path All the types of material required by ecosystem in addition of energy, are available continuously to system through recycling. Thus there is a constant exchange of materials between the living organism and their abiotic environment through the recyling of materials. This phenomenon is called Bio-geo chemical cycle. Note: Environment factors,e.g soil , moisture, ph, temperature etc, regulate the release of nutrients into the atmosphere. Biochemical cycle The following types of cycle are found in an ecosystem. (i) Gaseous Cycle - C, H, N. O cycles. Reservoir is in the atmosphere (air) or in Hydrosphere(water). Sedimentary cycle - P. S, Ca cycles reservoirs are in earth's crust (lithosphere). Note : ...

Composition White blood cells(WBC)

  WBC WBC (White Blood Corpuscles) are also called as leucocytes because they are colourless. TLC- Total leucocyte count Number of WBC /mm 6000 - 8000/mm (2000-3000) DLC :- Differential leucocyte count: number/ (%) of different type of leucocyte in per cubic mm. of blood. Acidophils    -    2-3% of TLC Basophils     -    0.5% -1% TLC Neutrophils   -    60 -65% TLC Monocytes    -    6-8% TLC Lymphocytes  -    20-25% TLC Leucocytosis :- Increase in TLC. This condition occur in bacterial & viral infection. Leucocytopenia :- Decrease in TLC. Normally TLC increases in bacterial & viral infection but in typhoid &  AIDS, TLC decreases. Leukemia :- Abnormal increase in TLC (more than 1 Lakh) it is called as blood cancer. On the basis of nucleus & nature of cytoplasm, Leucocyte are of two type 1. Granulocytes   a) In their cytoplasm granules are present which can be...

ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF MAN

Ramapithecus - Australopithecines - homo habilis - Homo erectus- Neanderthal man - Homo sapiens Modern primates are the end products of evolutionary process that began some 65 mya from shrew like insectivores. The firstly recognisabe anthropoid in the primate fossil record were discovered in the Fayum depression of Egypt. About 15 mya ,primate called Dryopithecus and Ramapithecus existing. About 3 - 5 mya, man like primates existed in Eastern Africa. They were probably 4 feet long and walked up right. About 2 mya Australopithecines  lived in East Africa grasslands. They hunted with stones and ate fruits. The first human like being was the hominoid the Homo Habilis.  Their brain capacities were between 650-800cc. About 1-5 mya fossils of next stage human the Homo erectus were discovered from java in 1891. Their brain capacities were 900cc and probably ate meat. About 100000-40000 years back Neandarthal man with brain capacities of 1400cc lived east and central Asia.  Abo...

Pollen grain and their characteristics.

  Facebook  STRUCTURE OF MICROSPORE OR POLLEN GRAIN : pollen grain is the first cell of a male gametophyte. Pollen grain is termed as immature male gametophyte. Usually, they are in round shape. Pollen grain surrounded by two distinct layers. The outer layer (wall) is thick, rigid and ornamented, called exine . This layer is formed by cutin and sporopollenin , Sporopollenin is highly resistent material.  It is nonbiodegradable. Due to the presence of sporopollenin, fossils of pollen grain are always found in good condition. The presence of fossils of STRUCTUREOF POLLENGRAINS pollengrains can forecast the presence of natural resources like petroleum, coals etc. in the earth. The internal layer is thin, soft and elastic in nature. It is called intine . It is made up of pectin and Cellulose or pecto-cellulose . Usually, at few places on outer surface exine is absent or present in the form of thin layer. These thin places are called germ pore. The intine comes out through t...
