test for functions summary

Summary - All living organisms are composed of one or more cells. A cell is the structural and functional unit of life. The metabolic reactions in a living organism - can occur only in a delicately balanced environment. Through their unique chemical composition, cells provide a ..

Summary - Angiosperms represent the most advanced group of plants. The angiosperm plant body consists of an underground root system and an aerial shoot system. The shoot system contains vegetative parts and reproductive parts. The root serves two primary functions anchoring and ..

Summary - Cell is the structural and functional unit of the organism. Water is the principal constituent of plants and is essential for the maintenance of life, growth and development. Plants absorb water from the soil through their roots, transport it to other parts of the plan..

Summary - The molecular mechanism by which a gene shows to potential in the phenotype of an organism, is called gene expression. Every gene contains the blue print required for the function of a given polypeptide, in the form of a specific sequence of nucleotides. The transfer o..

Summary - The grouping of elements with similar properties together and the separation of elements with dissimilar properties is known as classification of elements. The table, which classifies elements on the basis of their properties, is called the periodic table. The earliest classific..

Summary - Growth is one of the most fundamental characteristics of living organisms. It is accompanied by differentiation. The growth cycle of an annual monocarpic angiosperm begins with the zygote which undergoes a period of dormancy. Later, the dormant embryo develops into a seedling wh..

Summary - All living and non-living systems are composed of molecules which follow a specific set of physical laws. The molecules found in the living systems are called biomolecules. They are represented by the molecules of about 25 elements of the 109 elements known to exist. Carbon, Hyd..

Summary - With increasing complexity, the organisms have had to develop means of control and coordination between the different parts of the body. Coordination is necessary for acting as one unit and to maintain the homeostasis or steady state within the body. Control and coordination in ..

Summary - An angiosperm plant body is composed of two basic types of tissues namely meristematic and permanent tissues. Meristematic tissue is formed by undifferentiated, embryonic cells called meristematic cells. Meristematic cells are compactly arranged. They have thin cell wall abundan..

Summary - The cells of all living organisms consist of protoplasm, which is bound by a cell membrane. Prokaryotic cells and cells of algae, fungi and higher plants contain a cell wall outside the cell membrane. Some protozoans cells show the presence of a cell coat outside the cell membra..
