The document discusses various topics related to soil including its importance, composition, layers, types, properties, and erosion. Soil is formed by the weathering of rocks and allows plant growth by providing nutrients and water. It has distinct layers with the topsoil being the richest in nutrients. The type of soil depends on the size of its particles, ranging from sandy to clayey to loamy soils that are best for agriculture. Soil properties like texture, moisture, and pH determine what crops can grow in different regions. Soil erosion due to deforestation or lack of vegetation reduces the quality of topsoil.
Cell is the fundamental unit of life. It is the structural and functional unit that forms the basic unit of all living organisms. There are two main types of cells - prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells like bacteria are simpler with no organelles while eukaryotic cells like plant and animal cells are more complex with membrane-bound organelles. The cell consists of a plasma membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus. Within the cytoplasm are various organelles that perform specific functions to keep the cell alive.
this topic objectives are: differentiate self- pollination and cross pollination,draw self-pollination in plants and appreciate the importance of insects in pollination.
This document discusses different types of forces:
1) Contact forces include muscular force, friction, and gravity. Muscular force is exerted by muscles, friction opposes motion between surfaces in contact, and gravity causes things to fall toward Earth.
2) Non-contact forces include magnetic force, electrostatic force, and pressure. Magnetic force pulls materials together without contact, electrostatic force is the attraction or repulsion between charged bodies, and pressure is the force applied per unit area.
3) Pressure increases with decreasing surface area or increasing depth in liquids, as the same force applied over a smaller area produces higher pressure. Liquids exert pressure on the bottom of their container that depends on the height of the liquid
Soil is a complex mixture that forms on the Earth's surface and supports plant life. It is composed of minerals, water, air, and organic matter from decaying plants and animals. There are different types of soil including sand, clay, silt, and loam that vary in composition and formation. Soil is vital for agriculture as plants receive nutrients through their roots, and is also used in construction, pottery, medicine, beauty products, and other applications. Proper care and prevention of pollution and erosion is needed to protect this important natural resource.
The document defines and describes the key organelles and structures found within plant cells, including the cell wall, cell membrane, chloroplasts, golgi bodies, mitochondria, nuclear membrane, nucleus, ribosomes, rough endoplasmic reticulum, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, and vacuoles. The cell wall provides structure and support, while the cell membrane regulates what passes in and out. Chloroplasts use sunlight for photosynthesis, and mitochondria generate energy. The golgi body packages proteins and carbohydrates, and the nucleus contains DNA and controls cell functions. Ribosomes produce proteins, and the endoplasmic reticulum transports materials through the cell.
The plant cell contains several organelles that carry out essential functions. It has a cell wall made of cellulose that provides structure and support. Inside the plasma membrane are organelles including the nucleus that contains DNA, mitochondria and chloroplasts that have their own DNA, the endoplasmic reticulum that transports materials, and vacuoles for storage. Ribosomes produce proteins, and the Golgi apparatus packages cell products. Together these organelles allow the plant cell to grow, carry out photosynthesis and respiration, and transport materials.
Plastids are double-membrane organelles found in plant and algae cells that are responsible for important biochemical functions. There are three main types of plastids: chloroplasts, which facilitate photosynthesis; chromoplasts, which produce and store pigments; and leucoplasts, which synthesize compounds like proteins and starches. Chloroplasts have an additional internal membrane system called thylakoids that form stacks and contain chlorophyll. Chromoplasts and leucoplasts come in various subtypes depending on their contents and shape. All plastids contain a double membrane, stroma, DNA, ribosomes and other components that allow them to perform vital roles in plant cells.

It describes the tissues that make up plants, including dermal tissue, ground tissue, and vascular tissue. It explains that plants grow through cell division at meristems and differentiate cells. Primary growth increases length while secondary growth increases thickness. Meristems are dividing cells that allow for growth at tips and girth.
plant cell wall components and Composition salman sayem
The document summarizes the components and composition of plant cell walls. It discusses that plant cell walls are composed of three layers: the middle lamella, primary cell wall, and secondary cell wall. The middle lamella is a pectin layer that cements adjoining cells together. The primary cell wall is a thin, flexible layer composed of pectin, hemicellulose, and glycoprotein. The secondary cell wall is extremely rigid and provides strength, composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin.
The cell wall that surrounded bacteria and many types of eukaryotic cell (fungi, algae an higher plant) determine cell shapes and prevent cell from and bursting as a osmotic pressure.
The cell wall of bacteria and eukaryotes are structurally very different because Bacteria cell wall consist polysaccharides cross linked by short peptide.

Robert Hooke first discovered cells in 1665 while observing a thin slice of cork under his microscope. He observed that the cork's structure resembled a honeycomb with many small compartments, which he named "cells". A cell is the basic unit of structure and function in living things. Cells can be either unicellular, consisting of a single cell, or multicellular, consisting of many cells. All cells contain organelles that allow basic life functions to occur and specialized cells perform unique functions in multicellular organisms.
Robert Hooke first observed cells in 1665 using a primitive microscope. The cell theory proposed by Schleiden and Schwann states that all living things are made of cells, cells are the basic unit of structure and function, and new cells are produced from existing cells. Organisms can be either unicellular, consisting of a single cell, or multicellular, consisting of many cells. The basic features of cells include a plasma membrane that regulates what enters and exits the cell, cytoplasm within the membrane, and a nucleus containing DNA.
The document discusses the key components and structures of plant and animal cells. It begins by explaining how Robert Hooke first observed cells in cork in 1665 under a microscope. It then describes the basic components of cells, including the cell membrane, cytoplasm, organelles like the nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, and vacuoles. The functions of these various organelles are outlined. The document concludes with an overview comparing the main differences between typical plant and animal cells.
1) Tissues are groups of cells that work together to perform specific functions. In plants, tissues provide structure, conduct water and nutrients, and carry out photosynthesis. In animals, tissues include muscle to allow movement, epithelial to protect and line organs, and connective to join tissues together.
2) Plant tissues are divided into meristematic tissues for growth and permanent tissues for structure. Animal tissues include four main types - epithelial, muscle, connective, and nervous. Epithelial tissues line and cover organs, while muscles allow movement. Connective tissues join tissues together and include bone, blood and cartilage. Nervous tissue carries messages through neurons and nerves.
3) Both plants and animals have tissues specialized
Vascular tissue in plants transports water and nutrients throughout the plant. It consists of two main components: xylem and phloem. Xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to other parts of the plant. It consists mainly of dead cells. Phloem transports organic nutrients made during photosynthesis, such as sugars, throughout the plant. Unlike xylem, phloem consists of living cells.
1) Tissues are groups of cells that work together to perform specific functions. In plants and animals, tissues are organized into organs and organ systems.
2) Plant tissues are divided into meristematic tissues, which facilitate growth, and permanent tissues, which carry out other functions. Permanent tissues include simple tissues like parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma, and complex tissues like xylem and phloem that transport water and nutrients.

The document discusses different aspects of light, including how light travels, refraction, reflection, how we see colors, and shadows. Light travels in straight lines and we see objects when light bounces off them and enters our eyes. Refraction is when light changes direction when moving between materials of different density, like a pencil in water. Reflection is when light bounces off shiny smooth surfaces, allowing us to see reflections. We see colors based on which wavelengths of light are absorbed versus reflected by an object. Shadows are formed when an opaque object blocks the path of light.
Soil is the layer of loose material on Earth's land surface and is made up of particles of rock, air, water, and humus. Soil is organized into layers with topsoil at the surface containing the most humus and nutrients for plant growth, subsoil below it containing some humus and rock particles, and bedrock forming the bottom layer underneath. Soil types vary depending on the amounts of sand, silt, and clay particles in them, with loam being an ideal mixture supporting plant growth.
Force is a push or pull that can cause objects to move, change speed or direction, or deform shape. There are different types of forces including pressure, which is the force applied over an area. Liquids and gases exert pressure depending on factors like height, and atmospheric pressure varies with altitude and temperature. Atmospheric pressure is important and has applications like pressurized aircraft cabins.
This document provides instructions for a soil analysis lab. Students will analyze various physical properties of soil, including texture, moisture content, pH, and water holding capacity. The lab covers the components and structure of soil profiles. Students will use a soil texture triangle to classify soil samples based on percentages of sand, silt and clay. They will also measure moisture content by weighing soil samples before and after drying, test pH using indicator paper or solutions, and determine water holding capacity by measuring water retained in a soil sample. The goal is for students to understand key physical properties and their importance for soil function.
The document discusses key concepts related to soil including:
1) Soil is made up of broken down rock material that has been altered by various processes from the parent rock and provides an environment for plant growth.
2) The soil environment can be studied based on physical, chemical, and biological factors like texture, structure, nutrients, and living organisms.
3) Key properties that influence the soil environment include texture, structure, pH, cation exchange capacity, and water/air content which impact plant growth.

1) The document discusses soil, including its composition of distinct layers called horizons. The uppermost horizon is the topsoil, which is dark and rich in humus and minerals.
2) Soil profile is examined, with the topsoil providing shelter for organisms and plant roots. The next layer has less humus but more minerals. The lowest layer is bedrock.
3) Soil types are classified based on particle size, with sandy soil having large particles, clayey soil having fine particles, and loam being the best mixture for plant growth.
Soil is a complex system consisting of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and living organisms. It supports nearly all life on Earth. Soil structure refers to the arrangement of soil particles into aggregates or peds. There are four main types of soil structure: plate-like, prismatic, blocky, and spheroidal. Structure is classified based on ped size and distinctness. Factors such as climate, organic matter, tillage, roots, organisms, and wetting/drying influence soil structure formation. The four main soil types are sandy soil, clay soil, silt soil, and loamy soil, which is an ideal mixture of the other soil components.
This document discusses soil and its properties. It defines important terms related to soil like humus, weathering, and parent rock. It describes the layers of soil profile known as horizons A, B, and C. Horizon A is the topsoil with humus and nutrients. Horizon B is below with more minerals and compact texture. Horizon C has partly weathered rocks. The last layer is bedrock which cannot be dug. It discusses processes like percolation, moisture content, and absorption of water in different soils. Factors causing soil erosion like rainfall, agriculture, grazing, and winds are also mentioned.
The coast is where land meets the oceans and seas. The seashore lies along the coast and can contain pebbles. Sheltered parts of the coasts are used as ports for ships and fishing boats, but beaches and seawater are sometimes polluted by oil, sewage, and chemicals from towns, cities, and industries. Oceans cover 70% of the Earth's surface and the coast is the narrow overlap between land and sea.
Soil is composed of distinct layers called horizons. The topsoil or A-horizon is at the top and is dark, soft, and rich in nutrients. Below is the B-horizon, which is harder and contains fewer nutrients. The lowest layer, the C-horizon, consists of small rock fragments. Soil forms through weathering of rocks by water, wind, and climate, and it supports plant growth by providing structure, water, and nutrients. The type of soil depends on the proportions of sand, silt, and clay particles.
Soil porosity refers to the fraction of the total soil volume that is pore space. It depends on particle size and shape and determines how much water and air the soil can retain. Porosity can be measured using saturated soil cores and the Archimedes method. Permeability refers to how easily fluids like water can pass through soil; it is affected by porosity as well as soil compaction and texture. Soil aeration involves the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the soil and atmosphere through processes like diffusion and mass flow. It is important for root respiration and is influenced by soil properties and drainage.
Transportation in animals and plants ch 11IshaniBhagat6C
The document discusses the circulatory system in humans and other animals. It describes that plants and animals need transport systems to deliver nutrients, oxygen, and water throughout their bodies. It then provides details on the human circulatory system, including its main components of blood, blood vessels, and the heart. It explains how blood is transported around the body in a continuous cycle, ensuring tissues and organs receive oxygen and nutrients and waste is removed. Transportation systems in plants are also summarized.
Wastewater, or sewage, is dirty water from homes and businesses that contains organic waste, pathogens, and other pollutants. It is produced from sinks, showers, toilets, laundries, and other drains. Wastewater must be treated through a multi-stage process before it is safely released back into the environment. This involves removing solids, organic matter, nutrients, and bacteria or other disease-causing pathogens. Proper wastewater treatment is important for public health and environmental protection.
The document discusses various topics related to light, including:
1. Light is a form of energy that our eyes can detect and enables us to see our surroundings. Light travels in a straight line.
2. When light hits an object, it is either absorbed or reflected. Reflection changes the path of light. Mirrors reflect light, forming real or virtual images depending on the type of mirror.
3. Images formed by plane, convex, and concave mirrors and lenses have different properties depending on whether they are converging or diverging objects. Other topics covered include rainbows, reflection of light, and uses of mirrors and lenses.
This document discusses the topic of "pratyaya" or suffixes/affixes in the context of Hindi grammar for 7th grade students following the CBSE curriculum. It explains how suffixes are added to words to change their meaning, tense or other attributes in the Hindi language.
The document discusses reproduction in plants. It describes that plants reproduce both asexually through vegetative propagation methods like stem and root cuttings, and sexually with the involvement of flowers. In sexual reproduction, pollen is transferred from the male stamen to the female pistil either through self-pollination or cross-pollination, leading to fertilization and the formation of seeds and fruits. The seeds and fruits help in the dispersal of offspring to new areas.
The document discusses respiration in organisms. It explains that respiration is the process by which organisms break down food to release energy. It occurs in cells through cellular respiration which takes place in the mitochondria. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more energy, while anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen but produces less energy. Respiration allows organisms to perform functions by providing energy to cells.
The document summarizes the 8 stages of the waste water treatment process:
1) Bar screening removes large objects from water
2) Screening prevents smaller solids from passing through
3) Primary clarification allows heavier solids to settle and lighter materials to float
4) Aeration brings water and air in close contact to remove harmful gases
5) Secondary clarification removes microscopic solids and bacteria
6) Chlorination kills pathogenic microorganisms through disinfection
7) Water analysis and testing provides information about water quality over time
8) Effluent disposal reintroduces clean water into the environment after testing.
Improper sanitation practices can lead to diseases by allowing bacteria and viruses to spread. Citizens should work with local governments to address issues like open drains by insisting they be covered, and spread awareness about conserving water. A scientist was able to singlehandedly clean a polluted wetland using new water treatment technology after seeing its deteriorated state. Certain items like food, oils, and chemicals should be disposed of in dustbins rather than drains to prevent clogs and allow for proper degradation. Open defecation and untreated human waste contaminate water sources and soil, spreading disease.

Importance of Soil
Soil allows the growth of plants. It supplies water and
nutrients that are required in the growth of plants.
The soil is the main part of agriculture. Different types
of soils support different kinds of crops. Without
agriculture, food, shelter and clothing are not
possible.
Many microorganisms live in the soil.
Underground water is used for various purposes.

What pollutes the soil?
❖ Dumping non-biodegradable substances such as plastic bags and
polythene causes soil pollution.
❖ Waste products from industries which contain chemicals can affect the
soil adversely.
❖ Excess use of fertilizers and pesticides pollute the soil and decrease
its fertility.
Therefore, before dumping anything waste into the soil it must be treated
properly. Pesticides and fertilizers should be used in minimum quantity.
Lastly, materials like plastic should be banned as we pollute the soil and
affect the living organisms as well

Soil Profile
The soil consists of distinct layers which are also called Horizons of the Soil.
The Soil Profile is a vertical section of the soil which depicts all the layers of the
soil. The layers of the soil can be seen if we dig deep through it like while creating
a well or while laying the foundation of a building.
Humus – The decaying matter in the soil is called Humus.
Weathering - Soil is formed when rocks break down. This process is also called
Weathering. The weathering of rocks takes place because of rains, flowing water,
winds, temperature and climatic conditions of a place.
Parent Rock - The nature of the soil that is its texture and availability of minerals
depends upon the rock from which it is formed. This rock is often called as the
Parent Rock.

Layers of the Soil
1. Horizon A
This layer is also called the topsoil. It is visible to us. It contains large
amounts of humus and minerals which makes it dark in colour.
The soil is rich in nutrients because of the presence of humus.
The topsoil has a soft texture and can retain water easily. That is why plants
roots grow in the topsoil region.
The topsoil is a home to many living organisms as well like insects, worms,
beetles, rodents and moles.

3. Horizon C or Third Layer
The third layer of the soil consists of small rocks with cracks in them.
These rocks are partly weathered.
4. Bedrock
The last layer of the soil is called the Bedrock.
It contains large pieces of rocks that are not weathered or exposed to any
winds or water.
Bedrock cannot be dug with the help of a spade. It is very hard in texture.

How is Soil Formed?
We know that soil is formed from weathering of the parent rock and the
texture of the soil depends upon the parent rocks only. This process takes
time, maybe a hundred years, and then the fine soil is formed.
In the first stage of soil formation, the soil is generally non-porous in
nature. Then it slowly turns into soil having air and water in the pores.
We can define soil as a mixture of rock particles and humus. Based on the
size of the particles and the textures of the soil it can be divided into
various types

Sandy Soil
Sandy soil has big particles that have large spaces between them.
The spaces between these particles are filled with air. Hence,
sandy soils are called well-aerated soils.
Because of large spaces, water can easily penetrate through the
particles of sand. Sandy soils, however, cannot hold water.
Hence, sandy soils are light aerated and dry in nature.
Sandy soils lack much nutrients hence do not support the diverse growth of
plants.

Clayey Soil
It consists of fine particles which have less space between them.
Since there is not much space between the particles clayey soils are not well-
aerated like sandy soils.
The tiny gaps between the particles although allow absorption of water in the
clayey soils easily
They are able to hold water hence are suitable for the growth of different kinds of
plants.

Loamy Soils
Loamy soil contains a similar amount of large and small particles in
them.
They are combination of sandy, clayey and silty soil.
They also contain humus.
They can hold water in appropriate amounts and therefore support the
growth of plants.
They are also called Agricultural Soils because of their fertility and
appropriate texture.
They contain good amounts of calcium and have a high pH level.

Silt Soil
The silt soil particles are smaller than that of sandy soils but larger than clayey
soils
Silt soil can hold water to some extent because of its fine quality.
They are generally found near the water bodies like river banks and lakes.
They are rich in nutrients, highly fertile and hence are suitable for agriculture.
They are often mixed with other soils to improve the fertility of the soil

Properties of Soils
Percolation can be defined as the property of the soil by
which
it allows the flow of water through it. The rate at which water
percolates or moves through soils may vary in different kind
of soils.
Some soils absorb water while others allow it to flow
through them. The
rate of percolation can be calculated by:

2. Moisture
Moisture is the amount of water that is present in the soil. Even a
dry soil has some amount of moisture in the air. However, the clayey
soil has the highest content of moisture.
Why air above farmland appears shimmering during the daytime?
We know that soil contains water. Due to sunlight, the water from the
soil begins to evaporate and turns into water vapour. This water vapour
when reflects the sunlight appears as if it is shining and hence the
air above the soil makes the land look shimmery.

3. Absorption
Every soil has a water absorption capacity which depends upon how porous the
soil is. Clayey and loamy soils are most porous hence can retain water in large
quantities. That is why crops can grow over these soils. Sandy soils, on the other
hand, do not absorb water and hence do not support much vegetation.
4. Texture
The texture is the size of particles of the soil. Different kinds of soils have a
different texture

5. Colour
Different soils have different colours as well.
This is because of
the minerals and nutrients present in the
soil. For instance, some soils are black in
colour because of the presence of humus
and minerals while
some soils are red in colour because they
have iron in large quantities in them.

6. pH of Soil
Soils can have different pH depending upon their acidic, basic or
neutral nature. Based upon the pH different types of crops grow in
the soil.
7. Air Content
Since soil is made up of particles of different sizes these particles
can be loosely bound or tightly bound. The air often occupies the
space in between these particles. This allows life to sustain in the
soil such as microorganisms

Different kinds of soils are found in different regions because of the following factors
that decide the soil structure of that place:
temperature
humidity
rainfall
sunlight
winds
The type of crops that will grow in the soil depends upon these factors as well as the
properties of a soil.

What is soil erosion?
When the top layer of soil gets removed it is called soil erosion.
The soil erosion mainly occurs when the soil is left loose without vegetation or
when deforestation occurs.
In such a situation, strong winds and flowing water or rainwater takes away the
topsoil and therefore decrease its quality.
Also, this kills the organisms living inside the soil.
The roots of the plants and trees keep the soil together and allow
several microorganisms to grow and survive there. Therefore, it is
always advised to plant more trees and avoid deforestation.
