SESSION 2 MICROORGANISMS AS FOES 2.1 Mind Map 2.2 Terminology i. Pathogens – are tiny living organisms, such as a bacterium or virus, that make people sick. ii. Communicable diseases – are those which spread from one person to another or from an animal to a person via airborne viruses or bacteria, through blood or other bodily fluid. iii. Anthrax – is an acute disease caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis which causes skin, lung, and bowel disease in animals, especially ruminants. iv. Encephalitis – is an inflammation of the brain majorly caused by viral infection. It can cause flu–like symptoms, such as fever or severe headache. SESSION 2. MICROORGANISMS AS FOES 49

v. Tuberculosis – is an infectious bacterial disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which most commonly affects the lungs. 2.3 Key Concepts i. Microorganisms which cause diseases are called as pathogens. Pathogens enter into our body through air we breathe, water we drink and food we eat. ii. Diseases which spread from infected people to healthy ones are known as commu- nicable diseases. Common cold, conjunctivitis, typhoid, smallpox, chickenpox, swine flu, tuberculosis are some of the communicable diseases. iii. Some insects and animals carry disease–causing microorganisms. They are called as vectors. Anopheles mosquito carries plasmodium and thus it is vector. iv. House[U+FB02]ies also carry disease–causing microorganisms and spread the dis- eases like typhoid, cholera etc. v. Some microbes release toxins in improperly preserved food, which causes food poi- soning. 2.4 Information Skills and Projects Q1. Visit the veterinary hospital and prepare a list of cattle diseases by asking questions to the doctor. [Refer to TB page 49 Q7] A. Hint: Students can collect information on the following cattle diseases. Bovine ephemeral fever, Bovine tuberculosis,Brucellosis and Bovine virus diarroea. 2.5 Appreciation and Aesthetic Sense, Values Q1. Raheem tells to his neighbours “Stagnation of sewage in our surroundings is harmful to our health”. Do you support this? Why? [Refer to TB page 49 Q12] A. We support Raheem’s statement as stagnation of sewage in our surroundings may harm us in different ways: SESSION 2. MICROORGANISMS AS FOES 50

i. Stagnation of sewage may cause several diseases as sewage is the breeding ground for various disease–causing pathogens. ii. Vectors such as houseflies sit on garbage, sewage and excreta of infected persons and the disease–causing pathogens stick to their feet. When they come in contact with healthy individuals, these pathogens are transferred to them getting them ill. iii. If these flies come in contact with our food, they transfer the disease–causing germs into the food and renders it unfit for consumption. iv. Consumption of this infected food may lead to food poisoning and several other diseases. 2.6 Application to Daily Life, Concern to Bio Diversity Q1. What are the precautions taken to eradicate malaria? [Refer to TB page 49 Q15] A. The microorganism Plasmodium causes malaria. The female Anopheles mosquito which carries Plasmodium, serves as a vector. By controlling mosquitoes we can pre- vent malaria for which following precautions should be taken: i. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. So waste pots, waste flower pots, tires, bowls etc. which may contain stagnant water must be cleared. ii. Preventing mosquito bite is another precaution to prevent oneself from malaria. iii. People must use mosquito nets while sleeping. Use of mosquito coils, mats, liquids etc. at homes is also an effective method to kill mosquitoes. iv. The exposed body parts must be protected with mosquito repellent creams or lotions (like odomos) for preventing mosquito bite. SESSION 2. MICROORGANISMS AS FOES 51

SESSION 3 FOOD PRESERVATION AND OTHER USES 3.1 Mind Map 3.2 Terminology i. Pasteurization – is the process of heating food, especially a beverage such as milk or beer, to a specific temperature for a specific period of time in order to kill microorgan- isms that could cause disease, spoilage, or undesired fermentation. ii. Storage – refers to proper storing of food to maintain food quality by retaining flavor, color, texture and nutrients, while reducing the chance of contracting a food–borne illness. iii. Symbiosis – is the interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association, typically to the advantage of both. iv. Leguminous plants – are plants relating to the pea family (Leguminosae) which pro- duce seeds in pods, distinctive flowers, and typically possess root nodules containing symbiotic bacteria able to fix nitrogen. v. Nitrogen fixation – is a process in which atmospheric nitrogen is converted into am- monium or nitrogen dioxide, forms that are more readily available to the plants. 3.3 Key Concepts i. Water or moisture present in food items helps the microorganisms to grow. ii. Since microorganisms require warmth, food and moisture to grow, removing any one of these would prevent or stop the growth of microorganisms. This principle is used for preservation of food stuffs. iii. Pasteurisation is a method of preservation which involve heating up the milk up to 70 degrees for 15 to 30 sec and then suddenly chilled and stored. SESSION 3. FOOD PRESERVATION AND OTHER USES 52

iv. Lazaro Spallanzani is the first person to prove experimentally that microorganisms could be killed by boiling (1768). v. Dry fruits and vegetables are stored in sealed and air tight packets, which prevents the entry of microbes from outside, thus preserving the food materials for a longer time. vi. Symbiosis is a relationship between rhizobium and many of leguminous plants where rhizobium fixes atmospheric nitrogen and plant give shelter to rhizobium. 3.4 Information Skills and Projects Q1. Visit a nearby milk chilling centre. Observe the process and make a report on them. [Refer to TB page 49 Q10] A. In milk chilling centre, the processing for milk preservation is done in the following events: i. The milk collected from various places comes to the milk chilling center in alu- minium tins. They must reach within 4 or 5 hours from the collection centers. ii. All the milk cans are emptied into a boiling vessel. iii. They are boiled at a temperature of 70°C for 15 to 30 seconds. Due to this heating process all types of microorganisms are destroyed. The milk is germ free. iv. After boiling the milk for a specified time, they are suddenly changed into another vessel where milk is chilled and stored. v. From this small chilling centre, they are transported to a main chilling centre, where they are packed in 1/2 liter or 1 liter packets. These packets are then distributed in various places to people. 3.5 Appreciation and Aesthetic Sense, Values Q1. What is pasteurisation? What is the use of it? [Refer to TB page 49 Q8] A. i. Pasteurisation is a method of preserving milk. ii. Louis Pasteur discovered the process of pasteurisation. iii. During pasteurisation, milk is first heated to about 70 degrees celsius for 15 to 30 seconds and then suddenly chilled. iv. Sudden chilling of milk is done to prevent the growth of microbes.

4. REPRODUCTION IN ANIMALS SESSION 1 INTRODUCTION AND ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION 1.1 Mind Map SESSION 1. INTRODUCTION AND ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION 64

1.2 Terminology i. Reproduction – is the biological process by which new individual organisms (offsprings) are produced from their parents. ii. Asexual reproduction – is the type of reproduction where fusion of gametes does not take place. Budding, fission etc are common methods. iii. Budding – is the type of asexual reproduction in which a new individual or branch develops from an outgrowth on the body of a plant or certain lower animals. iv. Binary fission - is a type of asexual reproduction in which an animal reproduces by dividing into two individuals. 1.3 Key Concepts i. Oviparous animals are the animals that reproduce by laying eggs. Oviparous animals are hen, frog, lizard, butterfly etc. ii. Viviparous animals are animals that reproduce by giving birth to live young. Viviparous animals are human beings, cows, dogs etc. iii. Reproduction is one of the basic life processes which is essential for the continuation of the species. iv. The type of reproduction where a single parent is involved and fusion of gametes does not take place is called asexual reproduction. v. Budding as seen in hydra is a type of asexual reproduction where new individuals develop from the buds. vi. The type of asexual reproduction in which an animal reproduces by dividing into two individuals is called Binary Fission. Amoeba reproduce asexually through binary fis- sion. SESSION 1.

INTRODUCTION AND ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION 66

Q2. Can animals produce offsprings even without formation of zygote, how? Explain with suitable examples. [Refer to TB page 68 Q4] A. i. In some animals, formation of gametes does not take place. Still they produce offsprings like themselves. ii. In the absence of gamete formation, there is no fusion of gametes. Such process of reproduction is called asexual reproduction. iii. Eg: Hydra and Amoeba. Q3. How can you identify the animal is viviparous or oviparous? [Refer to TB page 68 Q5] A. Viviparous animals giving birth to young ones have external ears and epidermal hair on their skin. On the other hand, oviparous animals that lay eggs do not have epidermal hair or external ears. Q4. Differentiate between: [Refer to TB page 67 Q1] (a) sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction (b) gametes and zygote (c) external fertilization and internal fertilization (d) viviparous and oviparous animals A. (a) Sexual Reproduction Asexual Reproduction i. Both parents are involved. i. Single parent is involved. ii. Male and female gametes ii. There is no fusion of fuse to form a zygote. Eg., gametes. Eg., Budding in Reproduction in frog, Hydra, Binary fission in humans etc. Amoeba etc. SESSION 1. INTRODUCTION AND ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION 67

The product of which carry incomplete fertilization, i.e., the fertilised egg information about the is called zygote. offspring. (c) External Fertilization Internal Fertilization When fertilization of When fertilization of gametes takes place outside gametes takes place inside the female body, it is called the female body, it is called external fertilization. internal fertilization. Eg. In fishes and frogs. Eg. In humans. (d) Viviparous animals Oviparous animals Animals such as human Animals such as hen, beings, cows and dogs which frog, lizard and butterfly give birth to young ones are which lay eggs are called called viviparous animals. oviparous animals. 1.5 Asking Questions and Making Hypothesis Q1. What would happen if all the organisms would stop the process of reproduction? [Refer to TB page 69 Q11] A. All organisms multiply their number by the process of reproduction. If there will be no reproduction, then there will be no propagation of organisms and at some time in future, all the organisms will become extinct from this world. SESSION 1. INTRODUCTION AND ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION 68

SESSION 2 SEXUAL REPRODUCTION 2.1 Mind Map 2.2 Terminology i. Gamete – is a mature haploid male or female germ cell which is able to unite with another of the opposite sex in sexual reproduction to form a zygote. ii. Uterus – is a hollow, pear–shaped organ located in a woman’s lower abdomen where development of the baby takes place. iii. Pregnancy – is the state of carrying a developing embryo or foetus within the female body. iv. Offspring – are the individual organism(s) resulting from sexual or asexual reproduc- tion. v. Bisexual animals – also called as hermaphrodites, these animals carry both male and female reproductive organs in their body. vi. Epidermal hair – are the hair that grow from epidermis, i.e., skin in animals. SESSION 2. SEXUAL REPRODUCTION 69

2.3 Key Concepts i. In Sexual reproduction the fusion of the male reproductive cell and female reproduc- tive cell takes place, i.e., the ovum of the female and the sperm of the male fuses to form the zygote. ii. The male reproductive organs includes a pair of testis, two sperm ducts and penis. iii. The testes are egg shaped, produce the male gametes or sperms. iv. The female reproductive organs contains a pair of ovaries, oviducts and uterus. v. The ovary produces female gametes called ova. vi. The type of fertilization which takes place inside the female body is called internal fertilization. It occurs in different organism like insects, snake, lizards etc. vii. The zygote divides repeatedly to develop into an embryo, which develops further in the uterus. viii. The period from formation of zygote to fully developed foetus is called pregnancy period. ix. IVF –In Vitro Fertilization 2.4 Conceptual Understanding Q1. Who am l? [Refer to TB page 68 Q6] i. I am formed by the fusion of male and female gametes. ii. I am a gamete that has a tail and travel to fuse with female gamete. iii. I am a fully developed embryo inside a mother’s body. A. i. Zygote is formed by the fusion of male and female gametes. ii. Sperm is the male gamete that has a tail and travel to fuse with female gamete. iii. Foetus is the fully developed embryo inside mother’s body. SESSION 2. SEXUAL REPRODUCTION 70

Q2. State the reason why in most of the terrestrial animals, fertilization takes place internally. [Refer to TB page 68 Q7] A. i. Internal fertilization is required for terrestrial animals because the chance that sperm and egg would come into contact with each other by any other way is very slim. ii. Internal fertilization allows the sperm to be deposited in a close proximity to the egg, thus increasing the chance of its fertilization. iii. If terrestrial animals released their eggs and sperms in the external environment, sperm can never reach the egg in the absence of water as medium to float. iv. Also the eggs and sperms may wither or get destroyed by sunlight and other ex- ternal factors. Q3. Observe the following pictures and write the functions of them. [Refer to TB page 68 Q8] A. i. This is the figure of a testes present in the male reproductive system. It produces male gametes called sperms. ii. This is the picture of an ovary and oviduct or fallopian tube. Ovary produces ovum, the female gamete and this ovum is released into the fallopian tube. iii. This is the picture of a human sperm cell. It is the male gamete which fuses with the ovum to form the zygote. iv. This is the figure of fertilization. One of the sperm penetrates through the outer covering of the ovum and fuses with it to form the zygote. SESSION 2. SEXUAL REPRODUCTION 71

2.5 Communication Through Drawing and Model Making Q1. Sketch the diagrams of male and female reproductory systems. [Refer to TB page 69 Q14] A. SESSION 2. SEXUAL REPRODUCTION 72

SESSION 3 FERTILISATION OUTSIDE THE BODY 3.1 Mind Map SESSION 3. FERTILISATION OUTSIDE THE BODY 73

3.2 Terminology i. External fertilization – refers to the union of male and female gametes taking place outside the bodies from which they originated, such as in frogs and most fishes. ii. Tadpole– is the larval stage in the life cycle of a frog which resembles a fish and possesses fins and gills for respiration. iii. Copulation – is the breeding of male and female of any species. iv. Metamorphosis – is the transformation of the larva into adult through drastic changes. v. Cloning – is the process of producing similar populations of genetically identical in- dividuals that occurs in nature when organisms such as bacteria, insects or plants reproduce asexually. 3.3 Key Concepts i. The process of fertilization that occurs outside an organism’s body is called external fertilization. This type of fertilization is common in fish, starfish etc. ii. The transformation of the larva into adult through drastic changes is called metamor- phosis. iii. If an animals possesses both male and female reproductive organs, it is a bisexual or hermaphrodite animal. iv. The first cloned animal is a sheep named Dolly. It was performed by Ian Wilmut in 1996. 3.4 Conceptual Understanding Q1. Why do fish and frog lay more number of eggs whereas cow and human beings usually give birth to only one at a time? [Refer to TB page 68 Q3] A. i. Though animals like frog and fish lay hundreds of eggs and release millions of sperms, all the eggs do not get fertilised and develop into new individuals. This is because the eggs and sperms get exposed to water movement, wind and rainfall. ii. Also, there are other animals in the pond which may feed on eggs. Thus, produc- tion of a large number of eggs and sperms is necessary to ensure fertilisation of at least a few of them. SESSION 3. FERTILISATION OUTSIDE THE BODY 74

iii. On the other hand, in cows and human beings, internal fertilisation takes place, where the sperm is released in very close proximity to the egg. Hence the chances of fertilisation are very high. Hence, they only need to produce one offspring at a time. Q2. (a) By taking help of the given words, label the following life cycle: eggs, adult, pupa, larva. [Refer to TB page 68 Q9] (b) Explain the process of metamorphosis in housefly by taking help from the above diagram. A. (a) (b) The transformation of the larva into an adult through drastic changes is called meta- morphosis. In the above figure of metamorphosis of housefly, the adult first lays eggs. The eggs hatch into larvae. The larvae grow slowly to form the pupa. The pupa finally changes into the adult housefly that we commonly see. SESSION 3. FERTILISATION OUTSIDE THE BODY 75

Q3. Match The Following: [Refer to TB page 68 Q10] A. 3.5 Experimentation and Field Investigation Q1. Kavitha found a tadpole in a pond. She collected it carefully and put it in an aquarium, supposing it to be a fish. After some days, what did she find and why? [Refer to TB page 69 Q12] A. i. Kavitha thought that tadpole is a fish because the tadpole resembles a fish. It possesses gills for breathing and a tail bearing fins on it. ii. After a few days, the tadpole undergoes metamorphosis to become a small frog without gills and tail, but having two pairs of limbs. iii. After metamorphosis, transformation of shape of the body occurs and over a period of time they resemble their parents. SESSION 3. FERTILISATION OUTSIDE THE BODY 76

3.6 Information Skills and Projects Q1. Collect information from your library or from other sources like the internet and dis- cuss the life cycle of honey bee in the symposium at your school. [Refer to TB page 69 Q13] A. Life cycle of Honey Bee i. The queen bee lays the eggs, after a few weeks the egg turns into larva. ii. When the larva is about five days old the worker bees cover the opening with wax. iii. Larva develops inside a cocoon into a pupa that metamorphoses into adult bee after two to three weeks.

Most tadpoles are herbivorous and during metamorphosis the mouth and internal or- gans are rearranged to prepare for an adult carnivorous lifestyle. 3.8 Application to Daily Life, Concern to Bio Diversity Q1. How would you appreciate Ritwik’s work when he kept back the pigeon squab in the ventilator? If you were in Ritwik’s place what would you do? [Refer to TB page 69 Q16] A. We appreciate Ritwik for keeping the pigeon squab in the ventilator. By doing this, he had saved the lives of two new pigeons which had hatched from the eggs. If I were in his place, I would also have liked to save lives and would have done the same as Ritwik. SESSION 3. FERTILISATION OUTSIDE THE BODY 79

In girls breasts begin to develop, whereas in boys, moustaches and beard begin to grow. Hair starts growing on the chest of boys. In both boys and girls hair grows in armpits and at the genital region. These changes are called secondary sexual characters. (b) Adam’s apple: The Adam’s apple is actually a partial growth of voice box or larynx. The larynx is made up of 9 cartilages. The Adam’s apple is formed due to elongation of the thyroid cartilage. The laryngeal prominence is usually more prominent in adult men than in adolescent boys. Adam’s apple is responsible for change of voice in boys to hoarse during adolescence. Q3. List out the changes in the body that take place at the age of adolescence. [Refer to TB page 83 Q3] A. The period between the ages of 13 –19 years is called adolescence.
