NARAYANKAR NOTES

The egg's membrane is like a battery. Before a sperm enters, the egg membrane has a voltage difference across it: Membrane Potential = V inside − V outside ≈ −70 mV This means: The inside of the egg is more negative than the outside. There are more positive ions outside the cell and relatively more negative charge inside. This condition is called the resting membrane potential . What Happens When the First Sperm Fuses? The sperm's contact opens ion channels in the egg membrane. Large numbers of sodium ions (Na⁺) rush into the egg because: Sodium concentration is higher outside the cell. Sodium ions carry a positive charge. They naturally move into the cell through the opened channels. Why Does the Voltage Change? Imagine: Inside charge = −70 units Outside charge = 0 units When many positively charged sodium ions enter: The inside becomes less negative. Then it becomes neutral. Then it becomes positive. The membrane potential chang...

1. Complete the following diagram.   Ans)  a) Palaeontological b) Embryological Q.2. Read the following statements and justify the same in your own words with the help of suitable examples. a. Human evolution began approximately 7 crore years ago. Answer: The Earth's ice age began approximately 7 crore years ago. During this period, dinosaurs became extinct. Mammals started evolving and diversifying rapidly. Due to climatic changes, forest cover reduced significantly. The ancestors of monkey-like animals were Lemur-like animals that developed during this time. Around 4 crore years ago, these monkey-like animals gradually lost their tails. Their body size and brain capacity increased, leading to the evolution of ape-like mammals. These monkey-like ancestors shared evolutionary links with apes and human-like creatures. Human evolution was marked by an increase in brain size, the abili...

1. The Cell Wall (The Outer Layer) The cell wall is a rigid, protective layer found outside the plasma membrane in plants, fungi, and some protists. Composition: Algae: Contains cellulose, galactans, mannans, and calcium carbonate. Land Plants: Primarily hemicelluloses, pectin, lipids, and proteins. Strength: Cellulose microfibrils provide the primary structural rigidity. Special Depositions: Depending on the plant's needs, the wall may contain: Silica: Provides grit and strength (e.g., grass stems). Cutin & Wax: Prevents water loss (epidermal cells). Suberin: Acts as a waterproof seal (root endodermal cells). Lignin: Provides wood-like structural support. Function: It determines cell shape and acts as a shield against mechanical injury and infection.
