membrane using ‘potato osmoscope’.
Requirements
1. A large sized, uniformly textured potato tuber 2. 10% sugar solution 3. Stain to colour water 4. Beaker 5. Water 6. Scalpel 7. Pin
Procedure
1. Take a large sized potato tuber and peel off its skin with the
help of scalpel. 2. Make it flat at the base by cutting a portion at one end. 3. Now, scoop off the centre of the potato from the other end to
make a cavity in the tuber upto the base. 4. Pour some coloured sugar solution till half of the hollow cavity
is filled up. 5. Mark the initial level of water by inserting a common pin in the
wall of the potato as shown in the figure. 6. Put the potato in a beaker containing water. 7. e level of water in the beaker should be less than the level
of sugar solution in the potato tuber. 8. Let the apparatus stand undisturbed for some time.
Observation e level of the sugar solution in the potato tuber rises a er sometime.

sulphate at the bottom of the beaker and observe.
Observation
1. e crystal starts dissolving immediately and colour the water slowly. 2. A er the whole of the crystal is dissolved, the water gets
uniformly coloured.
Inference and Conclusion
1. e above experiment demonstrates that when there is no
intervening partition, most molecules mix (diffuse) into each
other till they thoroughly make homogenous mixture. 2. Here it shows the diffusion of solid into the liquid medium. 3. In living processes, this phenomenon of diffusion
holds great importance for the movement of solutes. 4. It is a passive process without involvement of metabolic energy.

7 STUDY OF TRANSPIRATION BY COBALT CHLORIDE
Objective To compare the rate of Transpiration from the two surfaces of
dorsiventral leaf of a plant by cobalt chloride method.
Requirements
1. A potted plant with dorsiventral leaves 2. Filter paper 3. Cobalt chloride solution (5%) 4. Glass slides 5. read.
Procedure
1. Dip a filter paper in slightly acidic 5% cobalt chloride solution. 2. Dry it thoroughly. 3. Now, take a plant and select a healthy dorsiventral leaf. 4. Clean both dorsal and ventral surfaces with dry cotton. 5. Carefully place the dry cobalt chloride strips on both upper
and lower surfaces of the leaf and immediately cover them
with dry clean glass slides. 6. Press them together and tie the slides with thread or rubber band. 7. Leave the set up as such for some time and observe.
Observation It is observed a er sometime that the dry blue coloured cobalt chloride
strip which was put on the lower side turns pink faster as compared
with one on the upper surface which takes a longer time to do so.
Inference and Conclusion
1. e observation infers that the loss of water from the lower surface
is comparatively much higher than from the upper surface. 2. It is due to the presence of higher number of stomata per unit
area on the lower surface than those on the upper surface.
11
3. More water vapours are released from the lower surface which hydrates the dry cobalt chloride strip and it turns from
blue to pink (CoCl2 2 H2O or CoCl2 4 H2O). 4. On the upper surface only cuticular transpiration takes place.
Precautions
1. e cobalt chloride paper should be securely placed under
the glass slides so that it is not in direct contact with air. 2. e experimental setups should not be placed in too windy or
humid surroundings which will hinder the rate of transpiration.

GANONG'S POTOMETER EXPERIMENT
Procedure
1. Fill the Ganong’s potometer completely with coloured water. 2. Choose a healthy leafy twig of a plant and cut it under water. 3. Fix the twig in the wide vertical tube through a hole in the cork. 4. Dip the other end of horizontal tube in a small beaker containing water.
5. e whole apparatus is to be made air tight by applying
vaseline or melted wax. 6. To start the experiment, bring the bent tube end above water
level in the beaker and introduce a single air bubble in the
tube with the help of the finger. 7. Place back the tube in the beaker. 8. Keep the whole set up in bright sunlight and observe.
13
Observation
1. In a short while, the introduced air bubble starts moving
towards the cut end of the twig. 2. Repeat this procedure two to three times and take out the
average rate of transpiration.
Calculations
e readings can be put in a tabulated form and the rate of
transpiration can be calculated.
S.N Distance Travelled Time Taken Rate of Transpiration

1. 13 cm 5 sec. 13/5
2. 14 cm 5 sec. 14/5
3. 16 cm 5 sec. 16/5 e rate of transpiration will be about 14.33 cm in 5 sec.
Inference and Conclusion
1. As the plant twig is in direct sunlight, it starts transpiring
water through the stomata. 2. is results in creation of a suction force and water is sucked in
the cut end. 3. e water moves thereby in the horizontal tube taking the
bubble along with it. 4. is gives us the readings in the Ganong’s potometer.
Precautions
1. e twig should always be cut obliquely under water. is increases the
surface area of the cut surface and also no air bubble enters the twig. e apparatus should be absolutely air tight.

9 STUDY OF NECESSITY OF LIGHT FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Objective To demonstrate that light is necessary for photosynthesis.
Requirements
1. A potted plant 2. Petri dish 3. Test tube 4. Alcohol (70%) 5. Iodine solution (KI) 6. Black papers 7. Spirit lamp.
Procedure Destarching
1. Take a healthy potted plant and place it in dark for about 72
hours so that the leaves become free from starch. 2. Choose a broad, healthy leaf on the plant and cover a portion of it on
both sides with black paper as shown in the figure with cello tape.
3. Keep the potted plant with the covered leaf in sunlight for a few hours. 4. Detach the covered leaf from the plant and test it for the
presence of starch.
Starch Test
1. e leaf to be tested is transferred into boiling water to kill all the cells. 2. Now boil the leaf in alcohol in a water bath till it becomes
dull-white due to the removal of chlorophyll. 3. Transfer it back to water, wash it thoroughly and add iodine solution.
Observation
e portion of leaf which was covered does not change colour,
whereas the portion which was uncovered turns blue-black.
15
Inference and Conclusion
e portion of the leaf which was not covered received all the factors
necessary for photosynthesis. erefore, that part could only
photosynthesis whereas, the one which was covered could not
manufacture food. e presence of starch gave the positive test with
iodine, i.e., turned to blue-black colour. Photosynthesis is the process of manufacture of food by the green parts of the plant (especially the leaves) in the presence of sunlight
and chlorophyll with the help of CO2 and water.

MOLL'S HALF LEAF EXPERIMENT
Inference and Conclusion
1. e portion of the leaf which was outside the bottle turned blue-black,
whereas the portion inside the bottle did not show colour change.
2. is demonstrates that CO2 is necessary for photosynthesis as enclosed portion of the leaf got all the factors necessary for
photosynthesis except CO2 and, thus, did not produce starch, resulting in negative test with iodine solution.
17
3. e portion outside got all the factors necessary for photosynthesis
including CO2, therefore, produced starch and turned blue-black.
4. is proves that CO2 is necessary factor for photosynthesis.
Precautions
1. e apparatus should be made air tight so that outside CO2
may not enter the bottle. 2. e leaves must be destarched properly before starting
with the experiment.

Structure Ear is the organ for hearing and equilibrium. e ears in human
beings are present on the two lateral sides of the head. Each ear is
divided into three parts—the external, middle and the inner ear.
External Ear
1. is is the outer part of the ear consisting of trumpet-shaped
ear lobe, pinna which is carlilagenous and skin covered. 2. It is meant to collect the sound waves and direct them to the
middle ear through a canal called the auditory meatus. 3. e canal is lined with cerumenous glands which secrete a waxy
material called cerumen which entangles the foreign bodies.
4. Fine hair are also present throughout the inner lining of the
auditory canal which also trap the unwanted material to enter
into the middle ear. 5. A thin obliquely placed membrane called the tympanic
drum or membrane lies between the external and middle
ear. Sound waves striking against it cause it to vibrate.

Middle Ear
1. It is represented by a ‘tympanic cavity’ which lodges three
tiny bones called the ear ossicles. 2. e ear ossicles are the malleus (hammer shaped), incus (anvil
shaped) and stapes (stirrup shaped). 3. e malleus is placed close to ear drum while stapes lies
against small membrane covered oval window—fenestra
ovalis opening into the inner ear. 4. Another opening, the round window connects the middle ear
and the inner ear. 5. A tube called Eustachian tube connects the middle ear to the pharynx of
the mouth to equalise the air pressure on both sides of the ear drum.
Internal Ear Membranous Labyrinth
1. It consists of a membranous labyrinth enclosed within
a bony labyrinth. 2. Membranous labyrinth consists of three semi circular canals,
vestibule and cochlea. 3. Semicircular canals are a set of three fluid filled canals
arranged at right angles to each other in three different
planes, so that one is horizontal and two are vertical. 4. One end of each canal enlarges into a swelling called the
ampulla containing sensory cells to maintain body balance. 5. Nerve fibres from them join the auditory nerve.
Vestibule
1. Vestibule consists of utriculus and succulus. 2. It joins the semi circular canals to the cochlea. 3. is is concerned with static balance.
Cochlea
1. e cochlea arises from the lower side of the sacculus. 2. It is spiral shaped tube with two and a half turns. 3. Its inner cavity is divided into three parallel tubes,
separated by membranes.
31
4. e outer and inner canals are filled with perilymph,
whereas the middle one is filled with endolymph. 5. e middle canal has the sound sensitive system called the ‘organ of
Corti’ containing receptor cells which transform sound vibrations into
nerve impulses which are sent to the brain via the auditory nerve.
19 STRUCTURE OF HUMAN EYE
Objective To study the structure of human eye.
Requirements Model or a chart showing the structure of the human eye.
Procedure and Observation Study the given chart or model carefully. Observe, draw, label
and write comments upon the structure.
Structure Human beings are provided with two eyes which are situated in
the deep bony cavities called the orbits in front of the skull. Each
eye consists of the eye ball and accessory structures like the 1. eyelids 2. eyebrows 3. eyelashes 4. lacrymal glands etc.
Eyelids Upper and lower eyelids are protective movable parts which protect
the eye from excessive light, foreign particles and their blinking
spreads lubricating secretion over the eyeball.
Eyebrows A row of hair is present above the eyes to protect sweat, etc., from
falling into the eye.
32
Eyelashes
ey are a row of short thick hair on the margin of the upper and lower
eyelids. ey protect the eye from foreign particles from falling into the eye.
Lacrymal Glands Each eye has a set of lachrymal glands at the upper, outer end of
the eye. ey produce a secretion-the lacrymal fluid which is spread
evenly on the eye ball, thus, lubricating it. Excessive lacrymal
fluid—the tears wash away dust particles. ey also have antiseptic
property as they contain enzyme—lysozyme.

HUMAN EYE INTERNAL STRUCTURE
Structure of Eye Ball
1. Eye ball (a) Eye ball is embedded in a bony socket and is
suspended to the bones by six muscles. (b) Only the front, one sixth portion of the eye ball is exposed. (c) It is covered by three layers
i. Conjunctiva ii. Sclera and iii. Choroid
(d) Conjunctiva
33
i. A thin membrane which covers the entire part of the eye. ii. It is continuous with the inner lining of the eyelids. iii. It is transparent, thin epithelial layer over the cornea.
(e) Sclera i. It is the outermost fibrous layer. ii. It is thick, white, non elastic covering of the eye ball
leaving the anterior most portion, the iris where
Sclera bulges as non-vascular, transparent, fiberous,
coat, covering the coloured part of the eye. iii. is is called the cornea.
(f) Choroid i. e middle layer of the eyeball is so , vascular and
thin which nurishes the eye, called the choroid.
ii. is layer completely encloses the eye ball leaving a
circular opening in front called the pupil. iii. Colour of the eye refers to the colour of the pupil. iv. e contraction and relaxation of circular and radial muscles
of the iris constrict or widen the diameter of the pupil
regulating the amount of the light entering into the eye.
v. Ciliary Body is the part of choroid arising from the
point just behind the junction of sclera and cornea. It
consists of ciliary processes and ciliary muscles. 2. Retina
(a) It is the innermost thin layer which is sensitive in nature
having senory cells—the rods and cones. (b) It receives the images of the objects focused by the lens. (c) e retina thins off and terminates behind the ciliary muscles. (d) Rods are sensitive to dim light are meant for night or dark vision. (e) ey contain a pigment called Rhodopsin. (f) Cones are sensitive to bright light and colour vision. (g) ey contain pigment Iodopsin.
3. Lens (a) It is transparent, biconvex, crystalline structure situated
behind the pupil. (b) e suspensory ligaments of the ciliary body hold this in position. (c) e contraction and relaxation of ciliary muscles change the
shape of the lens of viewing objects at different distances.
(d) e presence of lens divides the cavity of the eyeball into two
34
chambers: i. Aqueous Chamber: Situated between cornea and
lens, filled with aqueous humour which supplies
oxygen and nutrients in addition to removal of wastes.
Keeps the lens moist and gives protection to the eye. ii. Vitreous Chamber: Lies behind the lens and is
filled with jelly—like vitreous humour. It maintains
the shape and protects the retina. 4. Yellow Spot: is is a small area on the retina which has
maximum number of cone cells. is is also called as Macula or
Fovea centralis. is is the region of best vision. 5. Blind Spot: It is the region on retina which is devoid of sensory
cells, therefore, no image is formed here. is is the point, where
the nerve fibres from all the sensitive cells of retina converge and
together leave the eyeball as optic nerve to reach the brain.
