Group Five presented on the respiratory systems of birds, frogs, and lizards. They discussed:
- The key parts of each system including air sacs in birds, cutaneous and pulmonary respiration in frogs, and lungs in lizards.
- The mechanisms of inhalation and exhalation differ between the species, with birds using air sacs and unidirectional airflow, frogs relying on buccal pumping and skin respiration, and lizards breathing solely through lungs.
- Comparisons were made between the respiratory tracts and organs of each vertebrate, highlighting adaptations for their environments and modes of gas exchange.

All birds are in the Animalia Kingdom, Phylum of Chordata (with a backbone), and Class Aves (birds). At the Order level, the birds begin to diverge. For instance, the pelicans are in the Pelecaniformes Order while the nuthatches are in the Passeriformes Order.
Why do animals need to breathe?
Breathing is important to organisms because cells require energy (oxygen) to move, reproduce and function. Breath also expels carbon dioxide, which is a by-product of cellular processes within the bodies of animals.
Respiration is the process of releasing energy from food and this takes place inside the cells of the body.
The process of respiration involves taking in oxygen (of air) into cells, using it for releasing energy by burning food, and then eliminating the waste products (carbon dioxide and water) from the body.
Respiration is essential for life because it provides energy for carrying out all the life processes which are necessary to keep the organisms alive.
The energy produced during respiration is stored in the form of ATP (Adenosine Tri- Phosphate) molecules in the cells of the body and used by the organism as when required.
KEY POINTS
Life started in an anaerobic environment in the so called ‘primodial broth’ (a mixture of organic molecules.
Subsequently, oxygen strangely enough became an crucial factor for aerobic metabolism especially in the higher life forms.
The rise of an oxygenic environment was an important event in the diversification of life.
It evoked a dramatic shift from inefficient to sophisticated oxygen dependent oxidizing ecosystems.
Anaerobic fermentation, the metabolic process that prevailed for the first about 2 billion years of the evolution of life, was a very inefficient way of extracting energy from organic molecules. Ex: A molecule of glucose, e.g., produces only two molecules of ATP (≈ 15 kCal) compared with 36 ATP molecules (≈ 263 kCal) in oxygenic respiration.
Aerobic metabolism must have developed at a critical point when the partial pressure of oxygen rose from an initial level to one adequately high to drive it passively across the cell membrane.
Respiration is a complex and highly integrated biomechanical, physiological, and behavioral processes.
The transfer of O2 occurs through a flow of tissue barriers and compartments by diffusion down a partial pressure gradient, which drops to about zero at the mitochondrial level.
Acquisition of molecular oxygen (O2) from the external fluid media (water and air) and the discharge of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the same milieu is the primary role of respiration.
The respiratory system is a biological system consisting of specific organs and structures.
DENTITION IN MAMMALS
The study of arrangement structure and number of types of teeth collectively is called as dentition. Teeth are present in the foetal as well as in adults of mammals, based on the presence of teeth Mammals are two types.
Edentata : In some animals teeth are absent hence called as edentate. e.g., Echidna or spiny ant-eater (Tachyglossus) the teeth are absent in all stages of life.
Dentata : Teeth are present in all mammals though a secon¬dary toothless condition is found in some mammals. Modern turtles and birds lack teeth. The adult platypus (Ornithorhynchus) bears epidermal teeth but no true teeth are present. In platypus embryonic teeth are replaced by horny epidermal teeth in adult.
Classification According to the Shape and Size of the Teeth:
Homodont:
Homodont or Isodont type of teeth is a condition where the teeth are all alike in their shape and size in the toothed whales e.g., Pinnipedians. Fishes, amphibians, reptiles and in the extinct toothed birds.
Heterodont
Heterodont condition is the usual feature in mammals, i.e. the teeth are distinguished according to their shape, size and function. The function is also different at different parts of the tooth row.
According to the Mode of Attachment of Teeth:
Thecodont : The teeth are lodged in bony sockets or alveoli of the jaw bone and capillaries and nerves enter the pulp cavity through the open tips of the hollow roots e.g., mammals, crocodiles and in some fishes.
Acrodont: The teeth are fused to the surface of the underlying jawbone. They have no roots and are attached to the edge of the jawbone by fibrous membrane e.g., fishes, amphibians and some reptiles.
Pleurodont:
The teeth are attached to the inner-side of the jawbone. The tooth touches the bone only with the outer surface of its root. In acrodont and pleurodont types of dentition, there are no roots, and nerves and blood vessels do not enter the pulp cavity at the base, e.g., Necturus (Amphibia) and some reptiles.

ANAMOLOUS SECONDARY GROWTH IN DICOT ROOTS.pptxRASHMI M G
Abnormal or anomalous secondary growth in plants. It defines secondary growth as an increase in plant girth due to vascular cambium or cork cambium. Anomalous secondary growth does not follow the normal pattern of a single vascular cambium producing xylem internally and phloem externally.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

Seminar of U.V. Spectroscopy by SAMIR PANDASAMIR PANDA
Spectroscopy is a branch of science dealing the study of interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter.
Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy refers to absorption spectroscopy or reflect spectroscopy in the UV-VIS spectral region.
Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy is an analytical method that can measure the amount of light received by the analyte.
hematic appreciation test is a psychological assessment tool used to measure an individual's appreciation and understanding of specific themes or topics. This test helps to evaluate an individual's ability to connect different ideas and concepts within a given theme, as well as their overall comprehension and interpretation skills. The results of the test can provide valuable insights into an individual's cognitive abilities, creativity, and critical thinking skills
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

4. Introduction of Respiratory system
The respiratory system is the organ system animals use to bring in
oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide.
The process that brings oxygen
into our bodies called
inspiration or inhalation.
The process that sends carbon
dioxide out called expiration or
exhalation.
The human respiratory system has
many different parts that work
together to help you breathe.

6. Overview of Respiratory system of Birds/Pigeons,
Frogs and Lizards.
Respiration of Birds
AirSacs: When birds inhales,
the air first travels to the
posterior air sacs.
Next, it travels to the lungs
through a series of breathing
tubes,
Stale air travels to the anterior
air sacs, which is then
exhaled.
Respiration of Frog
Cutaneous Respiration: In
addition to inhaling and
exhaling air through their
lungs, many amphibians rely
on cutaneous respiration,
where gas exchange occurs
through the skin.
In order for cutaneous
respiration to be efficient,
the skin must remain moist.
Respiration of
Lizard
Lizard respire by
using their lungs
11. Birds(Pigeon)
• In birds the type of respiration is
pulmonary
• The respiratory system includes :
tract, organs and air sacs.
• A true muscular diaphragm is absent
• The repiratory tract includes: Nares,
nasal sacs, glottis, larynx, trachea and
syrinx
• The organs are the lungs and air sacs.
13. Pigeon’s Respiratory tract
Larynx opens into the trachea and
is supported by a series of closely
set rings
The Trachea divides into two
bronchi- each of which divides
into smaller branches, ultimately
ending on fine air-capillaries
which lies intermingled with the
capillaries of pulmonary vessels
14. Pigeon’s respiratory organs
• Lungs are solid spongy organs;
attached dorsally to the ribs.
• There are nine air sacs
• A single pair of cervical sacs at the
base of the neck on each side
• A single median interclavicular air
sac connected to both lungs
• Two pairs of thoracic air sacs and
a pair of abdominal air sac.
15. ANATOMY OF THE NINE AIR SACS
• Posterior Thoracic: A pair of
small, posterior thoracic air sacs
is found in the posterior part of
the thoracic cavity just in front of
abdominal sacs.
• Abdominal: From the distal end of each lung arises a large
abdominal air sac. Each abdominal air sac lies along the
dorsal wall of the abdomen, ventral to the kidneys,
amongst the coils of the small intestine.
• Interclavicular:It is a median,
unpaired, somewhat triangular
air sac connected to the
secondary bronchi of both lungs.
16. ANATOMY CONT.
Cervical: A pair of small
cervical air sacs arises
anteriorly, one from each lung.
They lie at the base of the
neck, dorsal to the
interclavicular and alongside
the vertebral column.
Anterior Thoracic:From the
side of each lung arises an
anterior thoracic air sac which
lies at ventral side of lung in
the anterior portion of the
thorax, in close contact with
the ribs and the pericardium
17. Respiratory system [Frog]
• Respiration is the process of gaseous
exchange.
There are 3 types of respiration in adult
frog
I. Cutaneous respiration [skin]
II. Buccal respiration [Mouth & Throat]
III. Pulmonary respiration [Lungs]
IV. Branchial respiration [gills]
18. Respiratory system [Frog] contd.
Inhalation and exhalation of gases have 3 stages
I. External respiration [breathing]
II. Internal respiration [usage of gases]
III. Transport of gases [To and From cells]
19. Respiratory system [Frog] contd.
Cutaneous respiration occurs in aquatic habitat
• The skin of frogs is thin & richly supply with blood capillaries
20. Respiratory system [Frog] contd.
Buccal Respiration occurs on terrestrial habitat
• The mucus lining is supply with blood capillaries
• Occurs by lowering and Raising the buccal floor
• The mouth and glottis remain closed
22. Respiratory system [Frog] contd.
Pulmonary Respiration
• In frog lungs are poorly developed
• Respiratory tract [ External nostrils, nasal chambers, internal nostril,
buccal, pharynx, glottis, larynx, bronchi
• Lungs are hydrostatic organ [Floating]
23. Respiratory system [Frog] contd.
The Larynx is a small sac whose wall by
cartilages
• 2 arytenoid and 1 cricoid cartilage
• The arytenoid are pair of semilunar
valves
• Upper edge form lateral margin of the
glottis
• Formed the Vocal cord
• Sound is produced by the expulsion of
air from lungs
24. Respiratory system [Frog] contd.
• The lungs are pair and found on the
anterior part
• They are ovoid
• Thin walls and elastic sac with internal
folds
• Division of internal folds is called septa
• The lungs is cover with peritoneum
25. Respiratory system [Frog] contd.
Pulmonary Respiration mechanism
The force pump of gaseous exchange
comes from the buccal cavity floor
These force are brought together by 2 set
of muscles
• Sternohyal muscles
O: Coracoid and clavicle or sternum
I: Hyoid apparatus in the mouth floor
• Petrohyal muscles
I: Squamous bone and hyoid apparatus
26. Respiratory system [Frog] contd.
The respiratory mechanism involves 2 phases
• Inspiration [Intake of oxygen to the lungs]
• Expiration [ Output of Carbon dioxide from lungs]
27. Respiratory system [Frog] contd.
Inspiration
• It begins with depression of the floor of the buccal cavity caused by lowering of
hyoid by sternohyoid muscle.
• Followed by opening of external nares and breathing in air. As the air reaches the
buccal cavity through internal nares, the floor of mouth is raised by upward
movement of premaxilla causing the closure of nares and simultaneous opening of
glottis.
• This forces the air into the larynx through glottis. From the larynx, the air reaches
the lungs where transfer of gases takes place.
• The inspiration takes place for quite some time before expiration begins to
maintain air in the lungs in between respirations.
28. Respiratory system [Frog] contd.
Expiration
• It begins with contraction of smooth muscles of lungs expelling air.
• It is followed by opening of glottis followed by its immediate closure.
• The air that reaches the buccal cavity is pushed out through the nares
by upward movement of the floor of the mouth.
• Most of the air that reaches the buccal cavity during expiration is
forced back to lungs in the next inspiration.
• When the frog swims in water, it keeps its snout above the water to
perform pulmonary respiration
29. Respiratory system [Frog] contd.
Tadpole has 2 gills
• External & Internal gills [
absorb and filter]
30. Respiratory system of Lizard
• Unlike frogs, Lizards have no auxiliary means of
respiration
• They breath through their lungs
31. Respiratory system of Lizard
• Respiratory structures
Trachea- divides into two
bronchii which open into the
lungs without bronchioles.
Lungs- an elastic, elongated
sac
• Have chambers called alveoli
where gaseous exchange
occurs
32. Respiratory structures of Lizard cont.
Nares
• External and internal nares
• Leads into nasal passages or chambers.
Glottis is located behind the tongue and it opens
posteriorly into a short chamber, the larynx.
Larynx – opens into a narrow, elongated
cylindrical tube the trachea.
33. Respiration mechanism in lizards
• Pleural & peritoneal cavities communicate
• Inspiration is caused by the intercostal muscles
• Oxygen enters the bloods of the capillaries and CO2 of the blood
enters the alveoli.
• Expiration is done by lowering the ribs
