CELL
⮚Cells are the basic building
blocks of all living things.
⮚The human body is composed of
trillions of cells.
⮚They provide structure for the
body, take in nutrients from
food, convert those nutrients
into energy, and carry out
specialized functions.
⮚Cells also contain the body’s
hereditary material and can
make copies of themselves.
⮚ derived from Latin
word
cellula/cellulae
which means "small

TYPES OF REPRODUCTION:
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
• Is a type of reproduction
that produces identical
offspring from a single
parent plant.
• Does not involve the fusion
of of sex cells.
• Offspring known as the
clones are genetically
identical to parent.
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
• Involves fusion of two sex
cells to form a zygote.
• Usually requires 2
parents.
• Offspring show variations
are not the exact copy of
the parents.

SEXUAL reproduction in
FLOWERING PLANTS
46
Sexual Reproduction
• Sexual reproduction requires genetic material (DNA) from two
parents. The parent plants have male and female sex cells, called
gametes. The genetic material from the male and female
gametes combines to produce offspring. We call this process
fertilization. The product of sexual reproduction are seeds.
• Seeds produced through fertilization contain genetic material
from both parents. As a result, the offspring are not genetically
identical to either of the parent plants. This genetic diversity can
help them survive if the environment changes.
47
• Flowering plants reproduce
sexually through a process called
pollination. Flowers contain male
sex organs called stamens and
female sex organs called pistils.
The anther is the part of the
stamen that contains pollen.
Pollen contains the male
gametes. Pollen must be moved
to a part of the pistil called the
stigma for reproduction to take
place.
48
ASEXUAL reproduction in ANIMALS
BUDDING
FISSION
FRAGMENTATION 49
1. budding
• a form of asexual reproduction in
which a new individual develops from
some generative anatomical point of
the parent organism.
• In some species buds may be
produced from almost any point of the
body, but in many cases budding is
restricted to specialized areas.
• Budding is an asexual mode of
producing new organisms. In this
process, a new organism is developed
from a small part of the parent’s body.
A bud which is formed detaches to50
2. fission
• binary fission is a type of asexual
reproduction where a parent cell
divides, resulting in two identical
cells, each having the potential to
grow to the size of the original cell.
The word asexual describes a
reproduction that occurs without
involving sex cells (gametes).
Instead, the somatic cells undergo
an asexual process that will produce
a clone of the parent. 51
3. fragmentation
• fragmentation refers to the state
or the process of breaking into
smaller parts, called fragments.
• Fragmentation reproduction is a
method of asexual reproduction
in which a piece of the body, or
fragment, of the parent breaks
off and develops
52
SEXUAL reproduction in ANIMALS
Sexual reproduction occurs in a variety of ways in animals.
In some species, such as fish, the male releases sperm
over the eggs after the female has laid them. In other
species, such as birds and most mammals—including
human beings—the male releases sperm into the female
reproductive tract.
 Sexual reproduction in animals occurs in three fundamental steps:
-gametogenesis
- Spawning or mating 53
GAMETOGENESIS
• Gametogenesis is the process by which diploid precursor cells undergo meiotic
division to become haploid gametes (sex cells)
 In males, this process is called spermatogenesis and produce spermatozoa (sperm)
 In females, this process is called oogenesis and produce ova (eggs)
• The process of gametogenesis occurs in the gonads and involves the following steps:
 Multiple mitotic divisions and cell growth of precursor germ cells
 Two meiotic divisions (meiosis I and II) to produce haploid daughter cells
 Differentiation of the haploid daughter cells to produce functional gametes
54
SPAWNING AND MATING
SPAWNING- to deposit eggs or sperm directly
into the water, as fishes.
MATING- is the pairing of either opposite-sex
or hermaphroditic organisms for the
purposes of sexual reproduction.
 A mating system describes how males and females pair
when choosing a mate.
 COMMON TYPES OF MATING: MONOGAMY AND POLYGAMY
55
FERTILIZATION
• The fusion of a male gamete with a female gamete
to form a zygote during the sexual reproduction i.e.
the fusion of a sperm with an ovum or egg to form
zygote is called fertilization. The zygote is also known
as ‘fertilized egg’ or ‘fertilized ovum’. This zygote
grows and develops to form a new baby. The stage of
development between the zygote or fertilized egg
and the newly formed baby is called embryo.
56
• Internal and external fertilization:
• The fertilization which occurs inside the female
body is called internal fertilization i.e. it takes
place in mammals including human beings,
birds and reptiles.
• The fertilization which occurs outside the female
body is called external fertilization i.e. it takes
place in amphibians like frogs, toads and fishes.
FERTILIZATION
57
• There are ways by which offspring are
produced by internal fertilization:
1.Oviparity(OVIPAROUS)– The fertilized eggs
are laid outside, where they receive
nourishment from the yolk.
2.Viviparity(VIVIPAROUS)– The offspring are
born directly instead of hatching from the
eggs. They receive nutrition from the mother.
This can be seen in mammals.
FERTILIZATION
58
Oviparous Viviparous
Meaning
Egg-laying animals Animals that give birth to the young ones
Fertilization
Either internal or external Fertilization is internal
Nutrients to the developing embryo
Provided by the egg yolk Provided by the mother through the placenta
Development of zygote
There is very little or no development of the embryo inside
the mother.
The embryo develops entirely inside the mother.
Survival chances
There are fewer chances of survival since the eggs are laid
outside the body
The young one is protected inside the mother and so the
chances of survival are more.
Examples
Insects, hens, fish, amphibians, etc. Humans, dogs, cats, horses, etc. 59

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. The human body is composed of trillions of cells. They provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into energy, and carry out specialized functions. ... Cells have many parts, each with a different function.
  • #6 Antonie Philips van Leeuwenhoek FRS was a Dutch businessman and scientist in the Golden Age of Dutch science and technology. A largely self-taught man in science, he is commonly known as "the Father of Microbiology", and one of the first microscopists and microbiologists. English scientist Robert Hooke published Micrographia in 1665. In it, he illustrated the smallest complete parts of an organism, which he called cells. theory that all organisms are made of cells, which are the basic structural units of life.
  • #7 The combined work of Schleiden, Schwann, & Virchow make up what is now known as the modern cell theory (cell doctrine)
  • #10 In spite of their extremely small size, cells are complex living structure. Cells of the human body have many characteristics in common. However, most cells are also specialized to perform specific functions. The human body is made up of many populations of these specialized cells. The coordinated functions of these populations are critical for complex organisms, such as humans, to survive.
  • #11 The cell is the smallest part to which an organism can be reduced that still retains the characteristics of life.
  • #12 Cells produce and secretes various molecules that provide protection and support of the body. Example: bone cells produce a mineralized material, making bone a hard tissue that protects vital organs and supports the weight of the body.
  • #13 Movements of the body occur because of molecules located within specific cells such as muscle cells.
  • #14 Cells produce and receive chemical and electrical signals that allow them to communicate with one another. Example: nerve cells communicate with one another and with muscle cells, causing muscle cells to contract.
  • #15 The chemical reactions that occur within cells are referred to collectively as cell metabolism. Energy released during metabolism is used for cell activities, such as the synthesis of new molecules, muscle contraction, heat production, which helps maintain body temperature.
  • #16 Each cell contains a copy of the genetic information of the individual. Specia;ized cells, sperm cells and oocytes, transmit the genetic information to the next generation.
  • #24 nucleoli /-laɪ/) is the largest structure in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.[1] It is best known as the site of ribosome biogenesis. Nucleoli also participate in the formation of signal recognition particles and play a role in the cell's response to stress.[2] Nucleoli are made of proteins, DNA and RNA and form around specific chromosomal regions called nucleolar organizing regions.
  • #25 The ribosome is a complex molecule made of ribosomal RNA molecules and proteins that form a factory for protein synthesis in cells. ... The ribosome is responsible for translating encoded messages from messenger RNA molecules to synthesize proteins from amino acids.
  • #26 The endoplasmic reticulum is, in essence, the transportation system of the eukaryotic cell, and has many other important functions such as protein folding. It is a type of organelle made up of two subunits – rough endoplasmic reticulum, and smooth endoplasmic reticulum
  • #27 The Golgi apparatus, or Golgi complex, functions as a factory in which proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations: lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion. In addition, as noted earlier, glycolipids and sphingomyelin are synthesized within the Golgi
  • #30 The cytoskeleton is a structure that helps cells maintain their shape and internal organization, and it also provides mechanical support that enables cells to carry out essential functions like division and movement.
  • #32 photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.
  • #34 You could use sunlight to power a calculator or watch, but you cannot use sunlight directly to provide your cells with energy.
  • #35 photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.
  • #36 The primary difference between organic vs. inorganic compounds is that organic compounds always contain carbon while most inorganic compounds do not contain carbon.
