Biology Notes Form 1 – Biology Form 1 Notes – Form 1 Biology Notes

Introduction to Biology

Biology is a branch of science that deals with the study of living things. There are diverse forms of life
on earth ranging from the invisible microscopic living things to the gigantic life forms. It aims at
explaining the living world in terms of scientific principles.

It is important to note, however, that living
things interact with the non living things in the environment as Well. Biology, therefore also entails the
study of non living things as well.

The role of human beings in shaping the environment is also
investigated in biology.

In summary, biology deals with the study of origins, types, nature,
growth, development, interactions and maintenance of all life forms on earth.

Branches of Biology

Biology is such a broad field of knowledge. It is divided into two broad branches

1. Zoology– This is a branch of biology that deals with the study of animal life.

2. Botany– This is a branch of biology that deals with the study of plant life.

Within the two branches, there exist even smaller branches because the branches (botany and
Zoology) are very wide and complex.

The smaller branches of biology include:

a) Ecology– This is the study of the interrelationships between organisms and their
environment. Ecology aims at establishing how organisms are related to each other
and their environment.

Ecology is further subdivided into smaller branches. These
can be forest ecology, marine ecology, rangeland ecology etc.

b) Genetics– This sub-branch of biology deals with the study of inheritance and variation.
It deals with the study of how variations (differences) occur between parents and their
offspring. It is also concerned with how various characteristics are passed on from
parents to offspring.

c) Entomology– This is the study of insects.

d) Parasitology– This is the study of parasites.

e) Physiology– This deals with the study of the functions of various structures of an
organism. It deals with the processes that take place in the body of organisms.

f) Anatomy– The study of the internal structure of organisms

g) Microbiology– This is the study of microorganisms

h) Bacteriology– The study of bacteria

i) Ornithology– This is the study of birds

j) Itchthology-This is the study of fishes

This list is in-exhaustive as there are very many other branches of biology.

Importance of biology

  • The study of biology is very important. The knowledge acquired from this study can
    benefit an individual in myriad ways. The study of biology is important in that:
  • The knowledge acquired from the study of biology can be very helpful in solving
    environmental problems such as food shortage, poor health services, pollution and
    environmental degradation.
  • The study of biology can grant one an entry into various careers such as medicine,
    veterinary medicine, animal husbandry, horticulture and dentistry.
  • The study of biology leads to development of scientific skills which are very useful in
    life. These include skills of observing, identifying, recording, classifying, measuring,
    analyzing and evaluating. These skills can enable one learn how to make right choices
    and lead an improved life.
  • Through the study of biology man learns the causes of human, plant and human diseases
    and how best these diseases can be prevented and cured.
  • Biological knowledge acquired in the study of biology is very useful in enhancing
    international cooperation. Some biology related international conventions include:

    > Joint development of HIV/AIDS vaccine by Kenyan and British scientists.

    > The coordinated fight against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome involving scientist
    all over the world.

    > The fight to save the ozone layer from depletion through various international
    agreements such as the Kyoto protocol.

    > Management of resources through international treaties such as the CITES
    (Convention against International Trade on Endangered Species).

    Characteristics Of Living Things

    Living things share a lot of characteristics in common. These characteristics are discussed below.

    a) Nutrition

    Nutrition is the process by which living things obtain and assimilate (utilize) nutrients.
    Living things require nutrients for various purposes; growth, repair of worn out tissues and for
    provision of energy. Plants manufacture their own food using light energy, carbon (IV) oxide,
    water and mineral salts through the process of photosynthesis. Conversely, animals feed on
    already manufactured foods from plants and other animals.

    b) Respiration

    Respiration is the process by which food substances are chemically broken down to release
    energy.
    During respiration, oxygen is used while energy, carbon (IV) oxide and water are
    released. Respiration occurs in all living cells.

    The energy produced in living things is very
    useful as it enables the living things carry out some of their physiological processes.

    The energy
    is also required for growth and development, movement and repair of worn out tissues.

    c) Gaseous Exchange

    Gaseous exchange refers to the process by which living things exchange oxygen and carbon
    (IV) oxide across the respiratory surfaces.
    Animals always take in air rich in oxygen and give
    out air rich in carbon (IV) oxide.

    Carbon (IV) oxide is a waste product of chemical reactions in
    the body. Animals require oxygen for respiration. Gaseous exchange, therefore, enables animals
    obtain oxygen for respiration and get rid of carbon (IV) oxide, a waste product.

    Plants, however, require carbon (IV) oxide for photosynthesis during the day. They give away
    oxygen as a by-product. The plants equally require oxygen for respiration and give away carbon
    (IV) oxide.

    d) Excretion

    This is the process by which living things separate and eliminate the waste or harmful
    materials resulting from chemical reactions Within the cells.
    These harmful waste products of
    metabolism maybe toxic to the body if they are left to accumulate in the cells of the living things

    e) Growth and Development

    Growth refers to an irreversible increase in size and mass while development refers to the
    irreversible change in complexity of the structure of living things.
    Growth and development
    of living things is essential as it enables the living things to attain maximum size that can enable
    them to perform their functions and roles.

    f) Reproduction

    This is the process by which living things give rise to new individuals of the same kind. All
    living things reproduce. Reproduction is essential as it leads to perpetuation of species and it
    avoids extinction of certain animals and plants.

    g) Irritability

    This is the ability of living things to perceive (detect) changes in their environment and
    respond to them appropriately. Living things respond to changes in temperature, humidity,
    light, presence or absence of certain chemicals.

    Response of organisms to these changes is
    crucial as it enables them to escape from harmful stimuli. Ability to detect changes in the
    environment also enables organisms to obtain resources in their environment.

    h) Movement

    Movement refers to change is position (displacement) of a part or parts of an organism.
    Movement in plants includes folding of leaves, closing of flowers and growing of shoots towards
    light. The change of position of an entire organism from one position to another is locomotion.

    Study questions

    a) Motor vehicles move, use energy and produce carbon dioxide and water. Similar
    characteristics occur in living organisms yet motor vehicles are not classified as living.
    List the other characteristics of living things that do NOT occur in motor vehicles.

    b) Give the name to the study of:

  • The cell
  • Micro—organisms
  • The study of differences between parents and their offspring
  • The study of relationships between organisms and their environment.

    Collection of Specimen

    We have defined biology as the study of living things. For effective study, a biologist
    may have to collect some living things or some parts of living things for observation and
    analysis. The living things or parts of living things that are used for biological study are called
    specimens.

    Biological studies always take place in laboratories. A laboratory is a building or a
    room that is designed and equipped for scientific studies.

    Collections of living things especially animals may not be very easy. Some of the animals
    are not easy to catch while some are quite dangerous. Knowledge on proper specimen collection and handling of is very important. We will discuss some of the apparatus used in specimen
    collection.

    a) Sweep net– This is used for catching flying insects.

    b) Fish net– This is used for trapping small fish and other small Water animals.

    c) Pooter– This is used for sucking small animals from rock surfaces or barks of trees.

    d) Bait trap– This is used for attracting and trapping small animals including rats.

    e) Pit fall trap– This is used for catching crawling animals.

    f) Pair of forceps– This is an apparatus used for picking up small crawling animals e.g.
    stinging insects.

    g) Specimen bottles– These are bottles used for keeping collected specimen. They are of
    different sizes depending on the size of the specimen being studied.

    h) Magnifying lens– This is used to enlarge small objects. A hand lens is a common
    magnifying lens used in the laboratory. The magnifying power of the hand lenses is
    always indicated on the lens e. g. X10, X5, X8. The magnifying power of a lens shows
    how many times the image will be enlarged compared to the object.

    How to use a magnifying lens

    To use a magnifying lens, place the object to be enlarged on the bench. Hold the magnifying lens
    on one hand and while closing one eye, move the lens towards the object until the image comes
    into clear focus.

    If a magnifying lens is used to make a drawing of a specimen, the magnification of the drawing
    will have no relation with the size of the drawing.

    The magnification of the drawing can be calculated using the formula shown below.

    Drawing magnification: Length of drawing divided by Length of the actual object

    The sign of “times” must come before the magnification value e. g. X10, X5, X15 etc.

    Precautions During Collection and Observation of Specimen

    While collecting specimen for observation, a biologist should play close attention to the
    following:

  • Collect only the number of specimen you need; do not collect more than you need.
  • Do not harm the specimen during the capture/collection exercise.
  • Do not destroy the natural habitat of the specimens.
  • Handle dangerous/injurious specimens with care. Such injurious specimens can be
    stinging plants or insects. Forceps and hand gloves should be used in such cases.

    Comparison Between Plants and Animals

    Plants

  • most posses chlorophyll which gives them their green color. Chlorophyll is very useful in the process of photosynthesis
  • their cells have cellulose cell walls
  • they respond slowly to changes in their environment
  • plants are immobile
  • they lack specialized excretory organs

    Animals

  • they lack chlorophyll content hence feed on already manufactured food materials
  • their cells lack cellulose cell walls
  • they respond quickly to changes in their environment
  • most animals move around in search of food, shelter and mates
  • have complex excretory organs

    Chapter Two: Classification 1

    Introduction

  • Biology has been defined as the study of living things (living organisms). Even though all
    living things share similar characteristics discussed in the introductory chapter, the living
    things exhibit a lot of differences.

    In particular, animals and plants are all living things
    yet they differ in many aspects. Amongst animals and plants also there exist a lot of
    differences.

    There are millions of different plant and animal types exhibiting a range of
    differences. This created a need for a classification system of living things to make study
    of the living organisms easier.

  • Classification refers to the grouping of living organisms according to their structure.
  • In classification, organisms that share a lot of similarities are placed under one group
    referred to as a taxon (plural: taxa).
  • Other than the similarities, grouping of the organisms also takes into account the
    evolutionary relationships (phylogeny) of the organisms. It is believed that all organisms
    once had a common ancestor (theory of evolution). During classification, organisms that
    are believed to have evolved along the same line of evolution are placed in one taxon.
  • The scientific study of classification is known as taxonomy. A biologist studying
    taxonomy is a taxonomist.
  • In classifying organisms taxonomists to a great extent rely on the use of external
    observable features of organisms.

    External features of plants used in classification

  • The rhizoids as in moss plant
  • Fronds in ferns
  • The type of root; tap root, adventitious, fibrous, prop, buttress roots.
  • Stem presence and type.
  • Presence or absence of flowers
  • Type of leaves; simple or compound; leaf venation- parallel or net work veined.
  • Presence and types of fruits and cones.

    External features of animals used in classification

  • Tentacles in hydra
  • Body covering- feathers, scales, hair or fur
  • Shells in snails
  • Wings in birds
  • Proglotids in tapeworms
  • Mammary glands in mammals
  • Locomotory structures
  • Body pigmentation

    Importance of Classification

  • Classification systems improve our ability to explain relationships among things.
  • Classification helps in identifying living organisms into their correct groups for reference
  • Classification helps in avoiding chaos and confusion when dealing with animals as it
    arranges the information on organisms in an orderly manner.
  • Classification brings together living organisms with similar characteristics together but
    separate those with different features.
  • Taxonomic systems provide relatively stable, unique, and unequivocal names for
    organisms
  • It makes the study of such a wide variety of organisms easy.
  • It projects before us a good picture of all life forms at a glance.
  • It helps us understand the interrelationship among different groups of organisms.
  • It serves as a base for the development of other biological sciences such as biogeography
    etc.
  • Various fields of applied biology such as agriculture, public health and environmental
    biology depend on classification of pests, disease vectors, pathogens and components of
    an ecosystem.

    Historical background of Classification

  • In the past, scientists used to classify organisms based on personal conveniences. They
    heavily relied on very few observable features. There was no standard classification
    system as each and every scientist would classify organisms in a way that would suit his
    intentions.
  • In particular, living organisms were simply classified as plants or animals. The plants
    were also classified as herbs, trees, shrubs. Animals were also grouped into herbivores,
    carnivores and omnivores.
  • Some biologists would also classify plants as:

    a) Edible or non edible

    b) Flowering or non-flowering

  • The modern classification systems take into account the evolutionary relationships
    between living organisms. It has overcome the many weaknesses of the artificial
    (traditional) classification systems.
  • From the original parents, arose new groups of organisms that went under structural
    changes that enabled them to live in different habitats. The structural changes account for
    the great diversity of living organisms observed today.
  • Carolus Linnaeus, a Sweddish biologist is largely credited for his significant
    contribution to the development of the modern classification system.

    Taxonomic Units of Classification

  • Taxonomic units of classification refer to the groups or taxa into which organisms are
    placed as a matter of convenience.
  • Grouping of organisms in these groups is based on easily observable characteristics that
    are common in that group.
  • Living organisms which share a lot of characteristics are placed in the same group.
  • Each taxonomic unit reflects the position of an organism in relation to the others in the
    classification scheme.
  • In a classification scheme, a hierarchy of groups is recognized and it proceeds from the
    first largest and highest group, the kingdom to the smallest and lowest unit, the species.
  • There are seven taxonomic units of classification.

    1. Kingdom

    2. Phylum (animals)/division (plants)

    3. Class

    4. Order

    5. Family

    6. Genus

    7. Species

    All living organisms are classified into five major kingdoms:

    a) Kingdom Monera– This is composed of microscopic unicellular organisms
    mainly bacteria e.g amoeba.

    b) Kingdom Protoctista– This kingdom is comprised of members who are
    microscopic. Though, some are large enough to be seen with the naked eyes.

    Members of this kingdom include algae and protozoa.

    c) Kingdom Fungi– Members of this kingdom comprises the mushrooms, toadstools,
    moulds and yeast.

    d) Kingdom Plantae– This kingdom comprises the moss plant, ferns, maize plants,
    hibiscus, meru oak tree etc.

    e) Kingdom Animalia — Members of this kingdom include the tapeworms, hydra,
    fishes, human beings, lizards, earthworms etc.

    In hierarchy of classification, a kingdom is further divided into several phyla (plural of
    phylum) or divisions (in plants). Within the phyla or divisions, organisms are further sorted out
    into groups known as classes based on their similarities and mode of life.

    Each class is further
    subdivided into small groups called orders based on structural similarities. Orders subdivide into
    families which subdivide into genera (plural for genus).

    Genera are then subdivided into smaller
    units of classification called the species.

    Species is the smallest unit of classification whose members share many similarities and
    can freely interbreed to give rise to fertile or viable offspring.

    Members of a particular species can, however, exhibit various differences e. g. differences in skin
    colour or body forms. Within the species, organisms can further be classified based on the
    differences in colour or forms.

    In humans, this gives the races, in animals the term used is breed
    while in plants, variety is preferred. In bacteria, the term strain is used to describe the variant
    forms.

    Members of different but very closely related species can breed but the resulting
    offspring will be sterile (infertile). In particular, a mule is a sterile offspring between a horse and
    a donkey.

    Moving from kingdom to species, it is important to note that the number of organisms
    in each taxon decreases. The similarities, however, increase as one moves from kingdom to
    species.

    Scientific Naming of Living Organisms

  • Scientific naming involves assigning an organism two names in Latin language. The
    naming system was developed by Carolus Linnaeus in the 18th century.
  • Organisms always have common names and scientific names. Common names are local
    names by which the organisms are known in the vernacular languages. In particular, a cat
    is an English name, mbura is a luo name, paka is a Swahili name etc. these names differ
    across cultures and cannot be used by scientists to communicate across the world. This
    makes sharing scientific knowledge on organisms very difficult. There was need for a
    common language and this led to development of scientific language in latin.
  • Latin was the preferred language since it was the first language of civilization that was
    widely spoken at that time. Similarly, latin language is a dead language hence not
    subjected to a lot of changes. The scientific names are, therefore, static.
  • Scientific names are the valid names by which organisms are known all over the world.
  • In scientific naming, an organism is assigned a specific name that is unique. The specific
    name adopts two names. This implies that the specific scientific name of an organism has
    two names. This double naming system is known as binomial nomenclature.
  • In binomial nomenclature, an organism is assigned its genus name and species name.
  • Assigning of scientific names to living organisms is governed by a definite set of rules
    which are internationally recognized and referred to as binomial nomenclature which
    literally means the rule of double naming system.

    Rules of Binomial Nomenclature

    Binomial nomenclature requires that:

    a) The first part of the scientific name is that of the genus name which should begin with a
    capital letter. The second name is that of species. The species name should be written in
    small letters e. g.

    a) Maize- Zea mays

    b) Lion- Panthera leo

    c) Leopard- Panthera pardus

    d) Domestic dog- Canisfamiliaris

    e) Human being- Homo sapiens

    b) When printed in books and other printed works, the scientific names should be printed in
    italics. However, in handwritten manuscripts and typed works, the genus and species
    names should be lined separately.

    Printed work- Homo sapiens

    c) The specific name is frequently written with the name of the scientist who first
    adequately described and named the organism e. g. Balanus balanoides Linneaus.

    d) Scientists must give a latinised name for a newly described animal or plant species where
    a Latin name is missing e,g.

    Aloe kilzfiensis– A type of aloe found in kilifi

    Meladogyne kikuyuensis– A nematode found in kikuyu.

    Origin of scientific names

    Scientific names assigned to organisms can be:

  • Descriptive
  • Geographical
  • Commemorative

    Chapter Three: The Cell

    Introduction

  • The bodies of living organisms are made up of small microscopic units called cells. The
    cells make up the structures of the living organisms and are responsible for carrying out
    various biological processes in the bodies of the living organisms.
  • Some organisms are made up of a single cell only e.g. amoeba and other bacteria in the
    kingdom monera. These organisms are known as unicellular organisms.
  • Other organisms are composed of many cells and are said to be multicellular. Most plants
    and animals are multicellular.
  • A cell is the basic functional unit of an organism.
  • Being very small, the cell cannot be seen with a naked eye. A powerful magnifying
    instrument is required. The microscope is used to view the cells.
  • Development of the light microscope
  • In 1650, Zacharias Jansen invented the compound microscope which combines two
    lenses for greater magnification.
  • In 1665, Robert Hooke used an improved compound microscope to observe cells.
  • Between 1650 and 1700, Anthony Van Leewenhoeck developed a better microscope with
    lenses which provided a greater magnification. He used the microscope to view nuclei
    and unicellular organisms including bacteria.
  • The development of the electron microscope in 1930s significantly improved microbial
    studies. Through this microscope, it was possible to study very finer details of structures.

    The Light Microscope

  • This is the most commonly used microscope in schools and institutions that do not focus
    on very fine details of the internal structures of cells.
  • The light microscope uses a beam of light to illuminate the specimen being studied.
  • A microscope is a delicate and expensive instrument that should be handled with care. It
    is imperative to understand the parts and functions of various parts of a microscope.
  • In a light microscope, the eye piece and the objective lenses both contribute to the
    magnification of the specimen.
  • The total magnification of the specimen viewed under a light microscope will be given
    by:
  • Magnification: Eyepiece lens magnification X Objective lens magnification
  • In particular, if the eyepiece lens magnification is X10 and objective lens magnification
    power is X8, then the total magnification of the specimen would be:

    Magnification=Eyepiece magnification X Objective lens magnification

    = 10 X 8

    =X80.

    Figure 1. The light microscope

    Handling and Care of the Microscope

    Part of the microscope: Limb

    function: supports the body tube and stage

    Base:

    function: provides firm and steady support to the microscope

    Body tube:

    function: holds the eyepiece and the revolving nose piece

    Coarse adjustment knob:

    function: raises or lowers the body tube through longer distances to bring the image into sharper focus

    Fine adjustment knob:

    function: raises or lowers the body tube through smaller distances to bring the image into sharper focus. it is mostly used with the high power objective lens

    Diaphragm:

    function: an aperture that regulates the amount of light passing through the condenser to illuminate the specimen

    Eye-piece:

    function: contains a lens which contributes to the magnification of the specimen under review

    Objective lens:

    function: bring image into focus and magnifies it.

    Mirror:

    function: reflects light through the condenser to the object on the stage

    Revolving nose piece:

    function: holds the objective lenses in place and enables the change from one objective lens to the other

    Condenser:

    function: concentrates light on the object on stage

    Stage:

    function: flat platform where specimen on the slide is placed.it has two clips to hold the slide into position

    The following rules should be observed when handling the microscope:

    > Always use both hands when carrying the microscope. One hand should hold the base to
    provide support while the other hand holds the limb.

    > Never place the microscope too close to the edge of the working bench or table.

    > Do not touch the mirror or the lenses with your fingers.

    > Dirty lenses should be cleaned using a special soft lens tissue paper or tissue paper
    moistened with ethanol. The other parts of the microscope may be cleaned using a
    microscope.

    > Do not wet any part of the microscope.

    > Make sure the low power objective lens clicks into position in line with the eye piece
    before and after use.

    > After use, always clean and store the microscope in a safe place, free from moisture and
    dust.

    How to use the Microscope

  • Place the microscope on the bench with the stage facing away from you.
  • Turn the low power objective lens until it clicks into position.
  • Ensure that the diaphragm is fully open.
  • Look through the eye-piece with one eye; meanwhile adjust the mirror under the stage to
    ensure that maximum light can pass through. The circular area seen is referred to as the
    field of view.
  • Again look through the eyepiece while adjusting the mirror under the stage to ensure that
    sufficient light is passing through the specimen.
  • Use the coarse adjustment knob to bring the low power objective lens to the lowest point.
  • Viewing through the eye-piece, turn the coarse adjustment knob gently until the specimen
    comes into focus.
  • Use the fine adjustment knob to bring the image into sharp focus. Make a drawing of
    what you observe.
  • For higher magnifications, turn the medium power objective lens into position and adjust
    the focus using the coarse adjustment knob. For sharper images, use the fine adjustment
    knob.
  • If finer details are required, turn the high power objective lens into position; now use only
    the fine adjustment knob to bring the details into sharper focus.

    Cell Structures as seen under the Light Microscope

  • The structures within the cell are referred to as organelles. Some of the cell organelles
    that can be observed under the light microscope include the cell wall, cell membrane,
    cytoplasm, nucleus, vacuole and chloroplasts.
  • These cell organelles perform specific functions within the cell.

    Figure 2 Plant and animal cells as seen under the light microscope

    The cell as seen under the Electron Microscope

  • The electron microscope is more powerful than the light microscope. It uses a beam of
    electrons to illuminate the specimen instead of light as in the case of light microscope.
  • Electron microscope can magnify an object up to 500,000 times.
  • It also has a very high resolving power. Resolving power is the ability to distinguish
    between separate things which are close to each other.
  • The high resolving power makes the electron microscope a very important research tool
    in microbiology.
  • Through the electron microscope, very fine details of the cell can be observed.

    Figure 4. The plant cell

    Structure and Functions of the Cell Organelles

    Cell membrane

  • The cell membrane, also known as plasma membrane or plasmalemma consists of three layers when viewed under the electron microscope.
    The three layers are composed of one layer of phospholipid sandwiched between two protein layers.
  • It is flexible and has pores. The cell membrane is important in that:
  • It encloses the cell contents.
  • It allows for selective movement of materials in and out of the cells. The pores allows materials particularly of small molecular size to move in and out of the cells

    Cytoplasm

  • Cytoplasm consists of a fluid medium in which chemical reactions take place. It contains
    dissolved substances.
  • organelles and other inclusions such as starch, glycogen, fat droplets and many other dissolved substances.
  • Cytoplasm is not static; it undergoes a movement known as cytoplasmic streaming.
  • It provides a suitable medium for cellular reactions to take place.

    c) Mitochondrion

  • Mitochondrion is a sausage shaped organelle that provides sites for respiratory
    reactions that yield energy for the cell. Mitochondria is thus, referred to as the
    powerhouse of the cell.
  • It is bound by two membranes. The inner membrane is greatly folded into cristae to
    increase surface area for respiration.
  • The arrangement and number of mitochondria in a cell depends on the cell energy
    requirements. Cells that require large amounts of energy contain high amount of
    mitochondria.
  • Such cells include muscle cell, sperm cell, apical meristem cells, and kidney cell.

    > Mitochondria are self replicative that is they can divide to form new ones.

    Figure 5. The Mitochondrion (Animal)

    Figure 6, (generalize(lmage23 mitochondrion Structure)

    d) Endoplasmic Reticulum

  • Endoplasmic reticulum appears as a series of interconnected channels, running
    throughout the cytoplasm.
  • Their membranes are continuous with the outer membrane of the nuclear membrane.
  • Some endoplasmic reticula have granules called ribosomes on their surfaces and are
    referred to as rough or granular endoplasmic reticula. Endoplasmic reticula that are
    not associated with ribosomes are called smooth endoplasmic reticula.
  • The rough endoplasmic reticulum transports proteins while the smooth endoplasmic reticulum transports lipids.
  • Generally, endoplasmic reticula also act as storage areas for synthesized molecules such
    as enzymes. They also contribute to mechanical support.

    e) Ribosomes

  • These are spherical in shape. While some are bound to the endoplasmic reticula, some
    ribosomes are scattered within the cytoplasm (free ribosomes). Their largest dimension is
    25 nanometres.
  • They are synthesised in the nucleolus.
  • They form sites for protein synthesis.

    f) Lysosomes

  • These are spherical sac-like organelles bound by a single membrane. They contain lytic
    enzvmes which break down large molecules. destroy Worn out oraanelles or even the
    entire cells.
  • Lysosomes also play crucial role in digestion in unicellular organisms.
  • The lysosomes are also vital in breakdown of bacteria and other harmful microbes
    that might have been ingested in food.
    This explains their high relative abundance in
    injured or infected cells.
  • The membrane of the lysosomes are intact. This is important because if the enzymes leak
    out, they may destroy the whole cell.

    g)Golgi bodies/Golgi apparatus

  • These are stacks of membrane bound tube like sacs. They are found close to the cell
    membrane.
  • Golgi bodies perform the following functions:

    1) They package and transport glycoproteins.

    2) They are involved in secretion of synthesized proteins and carbohydrates.

    3) They manufacture lysosomes.

    Note: Golgi bodies are abundant in cells that are active in secretion. For instance pancreatic cells
    which secrete enzymes and the nerve cells which secrete neurotransmitter substances.

    h)Centrioles

  • These are rod shaped structures located just outside the nuclear membrane.
  • They take part in cell division and also in the formation of cilia and flagella in lower
    organisms.
  • Plant cells lack centrioles.

    i) Chloroplasts

  • Chloroplasts are egg-shaped structures surrounded by two membranes and contain a gel-
    like stroma through which runs a system of membranes that are stacked together to form
    grana.
  • The granum contains chlorophyll which traps light energy that is used during
    photosynthesis.
  • It is in the chloroplasts that photosynthesis takes place.

    j) Vacuoles

  • These are sacs that are filled with fluid called cell sap. Vacuoles vary in size.
  • Animal cells contain small vacuoles which may be numerous in the cells while plant cells
    contain one large centrally placed vacuole.
  • Sap vacuoles store sugars and salts thereby contributing to the osmotic properties of
    the cell.
    This influences how materials move in and out of the cell.
  • In some unicellular organisms, food vacuole stores and digests food substances while
    the contractile vacuole excretes unwanted materials from the cell.

    k) Cell wall

  • This is the rigid outer cover of plant cells and some lower organisms.
  • In plants it is composed of cellulose fibres.
  • Cell wall is important in that:

    1. It gives plant cells their definite shape

    2. It provides mechanical support and protection against mechanical injury.

    3. The cell wall allows gases, water and other substances to pass through it.

    i) Nucleus

  • Nucleus is a double membrane bound structure made up of a viscous fluid known as
    nucleoplasm in which nucleolus and chromatin materials are suspended. The nuclear
    membrane has minute pores, nuclear pores which allow materials to move in and out of
    the nucleus.
  • Nucleus controls all the activities of the cell.
  • Nucleolus is responsible for manufacture of ribosomes while chromatin contains
    hereditary materials.
  • Nucleus generally takes a sperical or oval shape.

    Comparison between Plant Cells and Animal Cells

    While there exist many similarities between plant and animal cells, there are a number of
    differences.

    Plant cells

  • usually large
  • regular in shape
  • has a cell wall
  • usually has a large central vacuole
  • cytoplasm and nucleus are usually located towards the periphery of the cell
  • some have chloroplast
  • usually more store oil, starch and proteins
  • has no centriole

    Animal cells

  • smaller in size
  • irregular in shape
  • has no cell wall
  • usually has no vacuole but when present,they are often temporary and small structures within the cytoplasm
  • cytoplasm occupies most space in the cell with the nucleus usually centrally placed
  • has no chloroplast
  • stores glycogen and fats
  • has centrioles

    Estimation of Cell Size

    The light microscope can be used to estimate the size of a cell. Most cells have diameters
    smaller than a millimeter. Due to this, cell sizes are always measures in smaller units.

    These are micrometres and nanometers. These units of measurements are related as
    shown below.

    1 millimeter (mm) = 1000 micrometres (pm).

    1 micrometer (pm) = 1000 nanometres (nm).

    Procedure in cell size estimation

  • One requires a microscope, transparent ruler marked in millimeters and a prepared slide
    of cells.
  • With the low power objective lens in place, keep a transparent ruler on the stage of the
    microscope.
  • Focus so that the millimeters marks on the ruler are seen as thick dark lines.
  • Estimate the diameter of the field of view by counting the one millimeter spaces between
    the first mark and the last one across the field of view. Count only the spaces between
    two thick dark lines.
  • Convert the diameter of the field of view from millimeters to micrometres.
  • Remove the ruler and place the prepared slide of cells.
  • Count the number of cells along the diameter of the field of view.
  • Calculate the diameter of one cell using the formula:

    cell diameter = diameter of the field of view in micrometers divided by number of cells.

    Cell Specialization. Tissues. Organs and Organ Systems

    Cell Specialization/Cell Differentiation

  • This refers to the process by which a cell becomes structurally modified to perform
    specific functions
  • While cells have a basic outline, they become differentiated to perform specific functions
  • In particular, the root hair cell has extended surface for absorption while the sperm cell
    has a tail-like extension for swimming towards the ovum.

    Tissues

  • A tissue is a group of cells of a particular type that are grouped together to perform the
    same function.

    a) Tissue types in animals

    1. Epithelial tissue– This is a thin continuous layer of cells for lining and protection of
    internal and external surfaces.

    2. Skeletal muscle– This is a bundle or sheets of elongated cells with fibres that can
    contract. Its contraction and relaxation brings about movement.

    4. Blood tissue– This is a fluid containing red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

    The main functions of blood tissue are transportation of nutrients and gases as well as
    protection of the body against infections.

    5. Connective tissue– This tissue consists of strong fibres that connects other tissues and
    organs thereby holding them in position.

    b)Tissue types in plants

    1. Epidermal tissue– This is a single thin layer of cells covering the outer surfaces. It
    protects inner tissues of plants from mechanical damage and infection.

    2. Palisade tissue– This is a group of cells rich in chloroplasts containing chlorophyll. It has
    a site for the absorption of light energy and manufacture of food by photosynthesis.

    3. Parenchyma tissue– This tissue consists of special thin walled irregularly shaped cells.
    They form packaging and storage cells.

    4.Conducting tissue/Vascular bundle– This tissue consists of xylem and phloem. Xylem
    conducts water and dissolved mineral salts in a plant while phloem conducts food
    substances in solution.

    Organs

  • An organ is a group of specialized tissues that are grouped together to perform a common
    function.
  • Organs in animals include:

    a) Heart– composed of connective, muscle, epithelial and blood tissues.

    b) Kidney– Composed of connective, epithelial and muscle tissues

    c) Brain– Composed of epithelial, connective tissues

    d) Lungs– Composed of epithelial, connective tissues.

  • Organs in plants include:

    a) Roots– composed of epidermal, conducting and parenchyma tissues.

    b) Flowers– This is composed of epidermal, conducting tissues.

    c) Stem– Composed of conducting, parenchyma, and epidermal tissues and palisade
    tissues in some cases

    d) Leaves– Composed of palisade, conducting and epidermal tissues.

    Organ system

    This is a group of organs Whose functions are coordinated and synchronized to perform
    the same function.

    Organ systems are more pronounced in animals than in plants

    Organ systems in animals include

    a) Digestive system composed of organs such as oesophagus, stomach, intestines and
    their associated glands.

    b) Circulatory system composed of the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries).
    c) Excretory this is composed of kidney, liver, and blood vessels.

    d) Respiratory system composed of trachea, bronchus, and lungs.

    e) Reproductive system composed of the reproductive organs and associated glands.

    f) Nervous systems composed of the brain, spinal cord, eye, ear organs.

    Chapter Four: Cell Physiology

    Introduction

  • Physiology refers to the branch of biology that deals with the study of functions and
    activities of life or of living matter such as organs, tissues or cells. It aims at
    understanding the mechanism of living.
  • In simpler terms, physiology refers to the processes and functions that take place inside
    the body cells of organisms.
  • Cell physiology refers to the study of functions of the cell structures. The cell structures
    perform various functions of life. In particular:

    a) Chloroplasts play a vital role in carbohydrate synthesis.

    b) Mitochondrion produces energy required to carry out life processes.

    c) Ribosomes manufacture of proteins.

  • These physiological processes require various raw materials for them to take place.
  • For photosynthesis to occur, carbon (IV) oxide, mineral salts and water have to be taken
    into the chloroplasts.
  • For respiration (energy production) to take place, food substrate such as glucose and
    oxygen have to be taken into the mitochondrion. Energy, carbon (IV) oxide, water and
    alcohol (in plants) are some of the end products of respiration.
  • Some of the end products of the physiological processes such as carbon (IV) oxide can be
    harmful when allowed to accumulate in the cells. They, thus, have to be eliminated from
    the cells.
  • This implies that there is a constant flow of materials in and out of the cells and the cell
    organelles where these physiological processes are taking place. There is a constant
    movement of materials across the cell membrane in the cells.
  • This chapter discusses the properties of the cell membrane and the processes through
    which materials move in and out of the cells.

    Structure of the membrane

  • A membrane is a surface structure that encloses the cell and cell organelles.
  • The membranes include the cell membrane, tonoplasts, nuclei membrane, mitochondrial
    membrane and chloroplast membrane.
  • The membranes have a common basic structure which regulates the movement of
    materials in and out of the cells.
  • The cell membrane is made up of a phospholipid layer sandwiched by two protein layer
    (it is a lipoprotein layer) the overall thickness of the cell membrane is about 7.5 nm thick.
  • The membrane is perforated by small pores that allow the passage of substances in and
    out of the cells.

    Properties of the cell membrane

    a) The cell membrane is semi permeable– The pores that occur on the cell membrane
    allows the passage of the small size molecules but does not allow the passage of the large
    sized molecules.

    Such a membrane is said to be selectively permeable or semi-permeable.
    In particular, when a cell is surrounded by a dilute sugar solution, the small sized water
    molecules will enter the cell but the larger sugar molecules will not pass through the cell
    membrane.

    In contrast, the cell wall is permeable as it allows both sugar and water
    molecules to pass through it; it has larger pores. This property of selectively permeability
    enables the cell membrane to select what enters and leaves the cell.

    b)The cell membrane is sensitive to changes in temperature and pH– Cell membranes
    are made up of protein. Proteins are adversely affected by extreme changes in
    temperature and pH.

    Changes in temperature and pH will alter the structure of the cell
    membrane thereby hindering the normal functioning of the cell membrane. High
    temperature denatures (destroys) the proteins thereby impairing the functions of the cell
    membrane.

    c)The cell membrane possesses electric charges– The cell membrane has both positive
    and negative charges. These charges affect the manner in which substances move in and
    out of the ells. The charges also enable the cell to detect changes in the environment.

    Physiological Processes of the Cell membrane

  • In this section, we discuss the various physiological processes through which materials
    move in and out of the cells across the cell membrane.
  • Materials move in and out of the cells through three main physiological processes:

    a) Diffusion

    b) Osmosis

    c) Active transport

    Diffusion

  • From kinetic theory, matter is made up of particles that are in continuous random motion.
  • In solids, the particles are at fixed positions and can only vibrate at these fixed positions.
  • In liquids and gases, the particles are loosely held and are free to move from one region
    to another randomly. This movement of gas or liquid particles is observed to be from
    regions of high concentration to a region of low concentration. The process by which
    particles move from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration
    is known as diffusion.
  • In particular, the scent of a flower or perfume experienced by an individual is as a result
    of the flower scent particles or perfume particles move from a region of high
    concentration.
  • Diffusion occurs until the regions have an even concentration of the liquid or gas
    particles.
  • The difference in concentration of particles between the region of high concentration and
    region of low concentration is known as the diffusion gradient/concentration gradient.

    Demonstration of the process of diffusion using_potassium manganate (VII)

    Requirements: potassium manganate (VII) crystals, glass tubing, 100 cm3 beaker and water.

    Procedure

    a) Hold the glass tubing vertically in a beaker so that one end of the tubing rests on the
    bottom of the beaker.

    b) Cautiously and quickly drop a crystal of potassium manganate (VII) through the upper
    opening of the glass tubing.

    c) Close the upper hand of the glass tubing with the thumb.

    d) Half fill the beaker with water.

    e) Carefully withdraw vertically the glass tubing so that the crystal is left undisturbed at the
    bottom of the beaker.

    f) Record your observations for the first 15 minutes.

    g) Explain your observations.

    Expected observations

  • After some time, the purple colour of the potassium manganate (VII) spread throughout
    the water and eventually all the water turned purple.

    Explanation

  • The crystals of potassium manganate (VII) are highly concentrated with the potassium
    manganate (VII) particles. The potassium manganate (VII) particles break away from the
    crystals, dissolve in water and then diffuse through the water until they are evenly
    distributed.

    The Role of Diffusion in Living Organisms

    a) In Plants

    Diffusion plays an important role in plants in that:

  • It helps in absorption of mineral salts from the soil to the plant. Most salts dissolve in soil
    water. For those salts whose concentration in soil water is higher that their concentration
    in the cell sap of root hair cells, they move into the root hair cells through diffusion.
    Plants require mineral salts for numerous life processes.
  • Diffusion plays a role in gaseous exchange in plants. The respiratory gases (oxygen and
    carbon (IV) oxide) diffuse across the stomata and lenticels of plants.
  • Diffusion also contributes to the transportation of manufactured food materials from the
    leaves to other parts of the plant.

    b) In Animals

    In animals diffusion plays the following important roles

  • It helps in the absorption of digested food materials in the alimentary canal. End products
    of digestion such as amino acids and glucose diffuse across the wall of the ileum into the
    blood for transport to other parts of the animal body.
  • Diffusion also plays a significant role in gaseous exchange in animals. In animals,
    gaseous exchange occurs at certain structures known as respiratory surfaces.

    These
    include the skin, gills, lungs, tracheal system and the cell membrane (in unicellular
    organisms). Gaseous exchange at these surfaces occurs through the process of diffusion.

  • Diffusion is important in excretion of nitrogenous wastes especially in unicellular
    animals.

    Factors affecting the rate of Diffusion

    a) Diffusion gradient

  • A greater diffusion gradient between two points increases the rate of diffusion. Increasing
    the concentration of diffusing molecules also increases diffusion gradient with
    corresponding regions hence increases the rate of diffusion.

    b) Surface area to volume ratio

  • Rate of diffusion directly depends on the surface area to volume ratio. The greater the
    surface area to volume ratio, the greater the rate of diffusion will be. Conversely, low
    surface area to volume ratio results in a low diffusion rate.
  • This implies that diffusion rate is greater in small organisms than the large organisms.
    This is because the small organisms have a large surface area to volume ratio. As a result,
    most of their body parts are closer to the external surrounding leading to faster diffusion.
  • Small organisms can, therefore, depend on diffusion alone as a means of transporting
    foods, respiratory gases and waste products.
  • To large organisms, diffusion alone is inadequate as a means of transport of foods and
    excretion. They have an additional transport system.
  • Organisms always lose heat to the surrounding through diffusion. This implies that small
    animals lose a lot of heat to the surrounding compared to the large animals.

    c) Thickness of membranes and tissues

  • The thicker the membrane or tissue, the lower the rate of diffusion. This is because the
    distance covered by the diffusing molecules is greater through the thicker membranes.
  • The rate of diffusion is higher in thinner membranes.

    d) Size of molecules

  • Small and light molecules diffuse much faster than the heavy and large sized particles.

    e)Temperature

  • An increase in temperature increases the energy content of the diffusing particles; thereby
    causing them to move faster, this implies that the rate of diffusion increases with increase
    in temperature.

    Osmosis

  • Osmosis is a process by which solvent molecules move from a region of high
    concentration (dilute solution) to a region of low concentration (concentrated solution)
    through a semi permeable membrane.
  • Osmosis can be described as a special type of diffusion since it involves movement of
    solvent (Water) particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low
    concentration.

    Demonstration of Osmosis Using a Visking Tubing

    Requirements

    5OOcm3 beaker, visking tubing, a piece of thread, glass rod, concentrated sugar solution, 500 cm3
    distilled Water.

    Procedure

    1. Into the beaker, put 350 cm3 of the distilled water.

    2. Dip the visking tubing in water to moisten it. Open the visking tubing and tie one end
    with the thread provided.

    3. Half fill the visking tubing with the sugar solution provided and then tie the open end of
    the tubing. Ensure no sugar solution spills out of the tubing.

    4. Immerse the visking tubing into the distilled water in the beaker and suspend it using the
    glass rod provided.

    5. Leave the set up for about 30 minutes.

    6. Record your observations.

    7.Explain the observations made.

    Observations

  • The visking tubing became swollen indicating that its cell contents increased. The
    amount of water in the beaker decreased. This implies that water moved from the beaker
    into the visking tubing.

    Explanation

  • The visking tubing contains both sugar and water molecules. The beaker contains a
    higher concentration of water molecules than the visking tubing. The water molecules
    diffused from the beaker (where they are highly concentrated) into the visking tubing
    (where they are lowly concentrated).

    Even though there is a higher concentration of sugar
    molecules in the visking tubing, they were not able to diffuse out of the visking tubing
    due to their large molecular sizes. The visking tubing is semi permeable.

  • Other than visking tubing, dialysis tubing or cellophane are also other semi permeable
    membranes that can be used in this experiment.

    Osmosis explained

  • When two separate solutions are separated by a semi permeable membrane, there will be
    movement of water molecules from their region of high concentration (dilute solution) to
    a region of low concentration (the highly concentrated solution) across the semi
    permeable membrane. The semi permeable membrane does not allow movement of solute
    particles across it.
  • The movement of the water molecules continues until the separate solutions have the
    same concentrations.
  • Solutions with the same concentrations are referred to as isotonic solutions. The solutions
    are said to be isotonic to each other.
  • A lowly concentrated solution (dilute solution) is referred to as a hypotonic solution. A
    hypotonic solution has less of the solute molecules but more of the solvent molecules.
  • A highly concentrated solution with more of the solute particles but less of the solvent
    particles is referred to as a hypertonic solution.
  • When isotonic solutions are separated with a semi permeable membrane, there will be no
    net movement of solvent molecules to any of the solutions since they have the same
    concentration of solvent molecules.

    Osmotic pressure

  • When a concentrated solution is separated from distilled water by a semi permeable
    membrane, the concentrated solution will develop a force with which it draws water
    through the semi permeable membrane from the distilled water.
  • Osmotic pressure refers to the force with which a concentrated solution draws water to
    itself.
  • An osmometer is an instrument used to measure the osmotic pressure.

    Osmotic potential

  • This is a measure of the pressure a solution would develop to withdraw water molecules
    from pure water when separated by a semi permeable membrane.

    Water Relations in Animals

  • As discussed earlier, the cell membrane is semi permeable. Let us discuss what would
    happen if an animal cell say red blood cell is placed in solutions of varying
    concentrations

    a) Red blood cell in hypotonic solution e. g. distilled water

  • Distilled water has a higher concentration of water molecules compared to the red blood
    cell cytoplasm.

    When a red blood cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will move
    into the cell through osmosis. The cell will swell and burst. Swelling of red blood cell
    when placed in a hypotonic solution is referred to as haemolysis. The cell is said to be haemolysed.

    b) Red blood cell in hypertonic solution

  • A hypertonic solution has a low concentration of water molecules compared to the red
    blood cell cytoplasm.

    Water will, therefore, be drawn out of the cell into the hypertonic
    solution. The cell will shrink and become small. The cell is said to be crenated.

    The
    process by which animal cells shrink and become smaller when placed in hypertonic
    solutions is referred to as crenation.

    c) Red blood cell in isotonic solution

    When placed in an isotonic solution, the cell remains unchanged. This is because there
    will be no net inflow or outflow of water between the cell and the solution.

    Note:

  • When the cell becomes haemolysed or crenated, its functioning is impaired. This implies
    that the body fluids and blood plasma surrounding the cells must be kept at the same
    concentration as the animal cells.

    This will prevent bursting or shrinking of the cells that
    would otherwise impair their physiology.

  • The body has a mechanism through which these concentrations are maintained at a nearly
    same concentration.

    Water Relations in Plants

  • Water relations in plant cells differ with that in animal cells.
  • A plant cell has both a cellulose cell wall and cell membrane. The centre of the cell
    contains vacuole with sap. The sap is a solution of salts and sugars and is bound by a
    membrane, the tonoplast.
  • The cell membrane and tonoplast are semi permeable while the cellulose cell wall is fully
    permeable.

    a) Plant cell in hvpotonic solution e. g. distilled water

  • If a plant cell is placed in water or hypotonic solution, the cell will draw water from the
    hypotonic solution through osmosis causing the cell to distend.
  • The cellulose cell wall is rigid and does not allow plant cells to burst as in the case of
    animal cells.
  • As the cell gains more water, the vacuole enlarges and exerts an outward an outward
    pressure on the cell wall called turgor pressure.
  • The turgor pressure increases as more water is taken into the vacuole causing the cell to
    stretch until the cell cannot stretch any more. The cell becomes firm and is said to be
    turgid.
  • Turgor pressure is the outward pressure that the cell cytoplasm exerts on the cell wall as
    it gains more water through osmosis.
  • When the cell wall is being stretched towards the outside, it will develop a resistant
    pressure to stretching that is equal and opposite to turgor pressure called wall pressure.

    b) A glam cell in a hygertonic solution

  • When placed in a hypertonic solution, the plant cell will lose water to the solution
    through osmosis. As the water moves out of the cell, the cell starts to shrink, becomes
    less rigid or flabby and is said to be flaccid.
  • It the cell loses more water, its contents reduce in size and the plasma membrane pulls
    away from the cell wall towards the centre. The process through which plant cells lose
    water, shrink and become flaccid is called plasmolysis.
  • Plasmolysis can be reversed when a flaccid cell is placed in distilled water in a process
    called deplasmolysis.

    Wilting

  • Plants always lose water to the atmosphere through transpiration and evaporation.
  • Simultaneously, the plant cells lose water and draw more from the soil.
  • Wilting is a phenomenon that occurs when plant cells lose more water than they draw
    from the soil making the plant cells to lose their turgor pressure and droop.
  • At night, plants always recover from wilting since stomata are closed and water loss
    through evapotranspiration is significantly reduced.
  • Where water supply from the soil is inadequate, the plants may fail to recover from
    wilting and instead undergo permanent wilting.

    Role of Osmosis in Organisms

  • Absorption of water from the soil-The root hair cell of plants absorbs water from the
    soil through osmosis. Osmosis also helps in distribution and movement of water from the
    roots to other parts of the plant.
  • Osmosis plays an important role in support in herbaceous plants and young seedlings.
    When the cells of these plants take in water through osmosis, the cells become firm or
    rigid and thus gain support.
  • Osmosis plays a role in opening and closing of stomata in plants– The guard cells
    surrounding the stomata synthesize glucose through photosynthesis in the presence of
    light.

    As glucose accumulates in the guard cells, the osmotic pressure of the guard cells
    increase making them to draw water from adjacent cells through osmosis. When the
    guard cells become turgid, they bulge outwards leading to opening of the stomata.

    Opening of the stomata is crucial as it allows for gaseous exchange in plants. At night,
    there is no glucose synthesis.

    The glucose available in the guard cells is respired on
    leading to reduction of glucose and consequently reduction in osmotic pressure. The
    guard cells lose turgidity and close the stomata.

  • Osmosis also plays a role in feeding in insectivorous plants– These plants live on
    nitrogen deficient soils and trap insects from whence they obtain the nutrients. These
    plants possess special structures that suddenly change their turgor pressure when
    disturbed.

    The change in turgor pressure enables the special structures to rapidly close
    thereby trapping the insects.

  • Osmosis also plays a role in osmoregulation in animals
  • In kidney tubules of animals, water is withdrawn from the tubules into the body cells
    through osmosis through the tubular walls. This enables animals to maintain the osmotic
    pressure of the body fluids.

    Factors Affecting the Rate of Osmosis

  • Concentration of solutions and concentration gradient. Osmosis is greater when the
    separated solutions have a greater difference in osmotic pressure. In summary, the greater
    the concentration gradient, the greater the rate of osmosis and vice versa.
  • Temperature-An increase in temperature would increase the rate of osmosis as it
    increases the energy content of the molecules.
  • Thickness of the membranes-The thicker the membrane the lower the rate of osmosis
    while the rate of osmosis is greater through thinner membranes.

    Active Transport

  • Active transport refers to the process through which substances are moved across the cell
    membrane and against a concentration gradient.
  • Diffusion and osmosis alone do not account for movement of substances in and out of the
    cells. In particular, there are some mineral salts that occur at low concentrations in the
    soil water than in the cell sap.

    Some of these mineral salts cannot be absorbed by the
    plants through diffusion. A mechanism that would move them into the cells against the
    concentration gradient will be useful.

  • Active transport requires energy. This is unlike diffusion and osmosis that only depend
    on concentration gradient for them to take place.
  • It is postulated that there are protein carrier molecules on the cell membrane that aid in
    the moving these substances across the membrane. These carrier molecules combine with
    the substances being transported across the membrane and then move them from one side
    of the membrane to the other side.
  • Cellular intake of solutes is largely through active transport.

    Role of active transport in living organisms

  • Active transport is important in living things in that:
  • It helps in re-absorption of sugars and some salts by the kidney to the bloodstream.
  • It helps in absorption of some mineral salts from the soil by roots.
  • Absorption of digested food from alimentary canal of animals into the bloodstream.
  • It leads to accumulation of substances into the body to offset osmotic imbalance in arid
    and saline environments
  • It plays a role in excretion of waste products from body cells.

    Factors affecting the rate of Active Transport

  • Most factors that affect active transport are those factors that would affect the energy
    production process in living cells.
  • These include:

    a) Oxygen concentration

    Oxygen is required in respiration process that yields energy for active transport. Under low
    oxygen concentration, the rate of respiration will be low hence there will be production of little
    energy leading to low rate of active transport. Increase in oxygen concentration translates into a
    higher energy production leading to high rate of active transport.

    b) Change in pH

    Change in pH affects the respiratory process which is enzyme controlled. Respiratory enzymes
    require optimum pH for their efficient activity. Extreme pH conditions will increase lower the
    rate of active transport since the enzymes controlling respiration Will be denatured.

    c) Glucose concentration

    Glucose is the chief respiratory substrate. At low glucose concentration, there will b less
    production of energy leading to decreased rate of active transport. Rate of active transport
    increases with increase in glucose concentration due to increase in the rate of energy production.

    d ) Temperature

    Temperature affects the enzyme controlled respiration process. At low temperatures, the
    enzymes are inactive hence the rate of respiration will be low resulting into low rate of active
    transport since there will be less production of energy. An increase in temperature increases the
    rate of respiration since the enzymes become more activated. At temperatures beyond 40 degrees
    celcius, the enzymes become denatured, respiration stops and so does active transport.

    e) Presence of metabolic inhibitors e. g. cyanide.

    These are substances which act as metabolic poisons. They stop the rate of respiration leading to
    production of no energy. Active transport is, thus, stopped.

    Nutrition Plants And Animals

    Introduction

  • Nutrition refers to the process by which living organisms obtain and assimilate (utilize)
    nutrients. It is one of the fundamental characteristics of living things.
    The nutrients obtained are useful to the living organisms in many ways:

    a) The nutrients are required for growth and development of the living organisms.

    b) The nutrients are required for energy provision as they are broken down to release
    energy.

    c) They nutrients are also required for repair of worn out tissues

    d) Nutrients are required for synthesis of very vital macromolecules in the body such as
    hormones and enzymes.

    Modes of nutrition

    There are two main nutrition modes:

    a) Autotrophism mode of nutrition through which living organisms manufacture their own
    food from simple inorganic substances in the environment such as carbon (IV) oxide,
    water and mineral ions. Organisms that make their own food through this mode are
    autotrophs.

    b) Heterotrophism mode of nutrition in which living organisms depend on already
    manufactured food materials from other living organisms. Heterotrophs are the organisms
    that feed on already manufactured food materials.

    Autotrophism

    In this mode of nutrition, organisms manufacture their own food from readily available
    materials in the environment. These organisms use energy to combine carbon (IV) oxide,
    water and mineral salts in complex reactions to manufacture food substances. Depending
    on the source of energy used to manufacture the food, there are two types of
    autotrophism:

    a)Chemosynthesis

    This is the process whereby some organisms utilize energy derived from chemical
    reactions in their bodies to manufacture food from simple substances in the environment.
    This nutrition mode is common in non green plants and some bacteria which lack the sun
    trapping chlorophyll molecule.

    b) Photosynthesis

  • This is the process by which organisms make their own food from simple substances in
    the environment such as carbon (IV) oxide and water using sunlight energy.
  • Such organisms often have chlorophyll which traps the required sunlight energy.
  • This mode of nutrition is common in members of the kingdom Plantae. Some protoctists
    and bacteria are also photosynthetic.

    Importance of Photosynthesis

    1. Photosynthesis helps in regulation of carbon (IV) oxide and oxygen gases in the
    environment.

    2. Photosynthesis enables autotrophs make their own food, thus, meet their nutritional
    requirements.

    3. Photosynthesis converts sunlight energy into a form (chemical energy) that can be
    utilized by other organisms that are unable to manufacture their own food.

  • Photosynthesis largely occurs in the leaf. To understand the process of photosynthesis, it
    is important to understand the leaf structure.

    External leaf structure

  • Externally, the leaf has a petiole through which it attaches to the leaf branch or stem,
    lamina- the broad flat surface, margin- the outline and the leaf apex.
  • The leaf margin can be smooth, dentate, serrated or entire.
  • The size of a leaf depends on its environment. Plants in arid areas have small sized
    leaves with some leaves reduced to needle like shape.

    This helps reduce the rate of water
    loss in such plants. However, the plants in areas of water abundance have broad leaves to
    enable them lose the excess Water.

    a) Cuticle

  • This is the outermost layer of the leaf.
  • It is a thin non-cellular, Waxy, transparent and waterproof layers that coats the upper and
    lower leaf surfaces.

    Functions of the cuticle

    a) Being waterproof, it minimizes water loss from the leaf cells to the environment through
    transpiration and evaporation.

    b) It protects the inner leaf tissues from mechanical damage.

    c) It prevents entry of pathogenic microorganisms into the leaf.

    b) Epidermis

  • This is the outermost one cell thick layer covering upper and lower leaf surfaces. Its cells
    are flattened and lack chloroplasts.

    Functions of the epidermis:

    a) It protects the leaf from mechanical damage.

    b) It also protects the leaf from entry of disease-causing microorganisms.

    c) It secretes the cuticle.

  • There are many small pores on the epidennis known as stomata (singular-stoma) through
    which exchange of materials occur. The opening and closing of the stomata is controlled
    by the guard cells. Each stoma is controlled by two guard cells.
  • The guard cells have chloroplasts and are bean shaped. They have thicker inner cell wall
    and thinner outer cell wall.

    Adaptations of the guard cells

  • They have deferentially thicker walls to enable them bulge as they draw water through
    osmosis from the neighboring cells making them to open the stomata.
  • They contain chloroplasts that manufacture sugars which increase osmotic pressure of the
    guard cells. As they draw water through osmosis, they bulge making the stomata to open.

    c) Palisade mesophyll

  • This is the chief photosynthetic tissue in plants. Its cells are regular in shape.
  • Its cells contain numerous chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
  • Their close packing and location just below the epidermis enables them to trap maximum
    sunlight for photosynthesis.
  • Location of palisade layer on the upper surface explains why upper leaf surfaces are
    greener than the lower surfaces.

    d) Spongy mesophyll layer

  • This layer contains loosely arranged irregular cells. This leaves large airspaces between
    the cells which permits free circulation of gases carbon (IV) oxide and oxygen into the
    photosynthetic cells. Spongy mesophyll cells contain fewer chloroplasts compared to
    palisade cells.

    e) Vascular bundle/tissue

  • This is found in the midrib and leaf veins. Vascular bundle is made of phloem and xylem
    tissues. Xylem tissues conduct Water and some dissolved mineral salts from the roots to
    other plant parts while phloem translocates manufactured food materials from
    photosynthetic areas to other plant parts.

    Chloroplast

  • This is the organelle in which photosynthesis takes place. It is an oval shaped double
    membrane bound organelle.
  • Internally, it is made up of membranes called lamellae suspended in a fluid filled matrix
    called stroma.
  • Lamellae forms stacks at intervals called grana (singular-granum). Chlorophyll molecules
    are contained in the grana.
  • Within the stroma. fat droplets, lipid droplets and starch grains are found.
  • The strona contains enzymes and forms the site Where light independent reactions take
    place.

    Adaptations of the leaf to photosynthesis

  • The leaf has a flat snd broad lamina to increase surface area for trapping sunlight energy
    and for gaseous exchange.
  • The leaf has numerous stomata through which photosynthetic gases diffuse.
  • The leaf is thin to reduce the distance through which carbon (IV) oxide has to diffuse to the photosynthetic cells.
  • The palisade mesophyll cells contain numerous chloroplasts which contain chlorophyll
    molecules which trap sunlight energy for photosynthesis.
  • The photosynthetic mesophyll is located towards the upper surface for maximum
    absorption of sunlight energy.
  • The leaf has an extensive network of veins composed of xylem which conducts water to
    the photosynthetic cells and phloem to translocate manufactured food materials to other
    plant parts.
  • The epidermis and cuticle are transparent to allow light to penetrate to the photosynthetc cells.

    Raw materials for photosynthesis

  • Water
  • Carbon (IV) oxide

    Conditions for photosynthesis

  • Light energy
  • Chlorophyll

    Photosynthesis Process

  • Photosynthesis is a complex process that involves a series of reactions. It can be
    summarized into two main reactions.

    a)Light reaction/Light stage

  • This is the first stage of photosynthesis. It occurs in the presence of light. Without light it
    cannot take place.
  • Light stage occurs in the grana of the chloroplasts.
  • During light stage, two fundamental processes occur:

    i) Photolysis of water

  • This refers to the splitting of water molecules using sunlight energy to give hydrogen ions
    and oxygen gas.
  • This is aided by the fact that the grana contain chlorophyll molecules that trap sunlight
    energy for photolysis.
  • The oxygen gas produced can either be released into the atmosphere or be utilized by the
    plant for respiration.

    Water– Hydrogen atoms + Oxygen gas

    ii) Formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

  • Some of the sun light energy is used to combine Adenosine Diphospate molecule in the
    plant tissues with a phosphate molecule to form Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). ATP is
    an energy rich molecule that stores energy for use in the dark stage when sunlight energy
    could be unavailable.

    ADP + P = ATP

  • The hydrogen ions and ATP formed during light stage are later used in dark stage.

    b) Dark reaction/Dark stage

  • These reactions are light independent. The energy that propels these reactions are derived
    from the ATP formed during light stage.
  • Also known as carbon (IV) oxide fixation, dark stage involves combination of carbon
    (IV) oxide molecule with hydrogen ions to form a simple carbohydrate and a water
    molecule.
  • Dark reactions take place in the stroma.
  • Other food materials are then synthesized from the simple sugars through complex
    synthesis reactions.
  • The simple sugar formed in dark stage is quickly converted to starch which is osmotically
    inactive. When a lot of simple sugars accumulate in the chloroplasts, osmotic pressure of
    the guard cells would increase causing the guard cells to draw a lot of water through
    osmosis. This makes the guard cells to bulge and open the stomata. This can result into
    excessive water loss.
  • To prevent, this, the simple sugars are quickly converted to starch. To test whether
    photosynthesis has taken place in a leaf, therefore, a test for presence of starch and not
    simple sugars is carried out.

    Testing for starch in a leaf

    Requirements

  • Iodine solution
  • Methylated spirit/alcohol
  • Boiling tube
  • Droppers
  • Water
  • White tile
  • Fresh leaf
  • Means of heating
  • Timer

    Procedure

  • Detach a leaf that has been exposed to light for about six hours. This duration ensures
    that the leaf has photosynthesized.
  • Put the leaf in boiling water for 10 minutes. This kills the protoplasm, denatures the
    enzymes and stops any chemical reactions in the leaf.
  • Remove the leaf and put it in a boiling tube containing methylated spirit or alcohol and
    boil in a water bath. Methylated spirit is highly flammable hence should be boiled
    indirectly. Boiling with methylated spirit or alcohol decolourises the leaf (removes the
    chlorophyll). This ensures that the leaf becomes white so that colour changes can be
    observed easily when iodine is added.
  • Remove the leaf and wash off in hot water to remove methylated spirit and to soften the
    leaf.
  • Spread the leaf on a white tile and add drops of iodine solution onto the leaf and observe.

    Observations

  • If there is formation of blue black patches on the leaf then starch is present
  • If the yellow/brown colour of iodine persists on the leaf then starch is absent in the leaf.

    Factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis

    a) Carbon (IV) oxide concentration

  • While the concentration of carbon (IV) oxide in the atmosphere is fairly constant at
    0.03%, an increase in carbon (IV) oxide concentration translates into an increase in the
    rate of photosynthesis up to a certain point when the rate of photosynthesis becomes
    constant.

    At this point, other factors such as light intensity, water and temperature
    become limiting factors.

    b)Light intensity

  • The rate at of photosynthesis increases with an increase in light intensity up to a certain
    level. Beyond the optimum light intensity the rate of photosynthesis becomes constant.
    To this effect, plants photosynthesize faster on bright and sunny days than on dull cloudy
    days.
  • Light quality/wavelength also affects the rate of photosynthesis. Most plants require red
    and blue wavelengths of light for photosynthesis. Light duration also affects
    photosynthesis rate.

    c)Temperature

  • Photosynthesis is an enzyme controlled process. At very low temperatures the rate of
    photosynthesis is slow because the enzymes are inactive. As temperature increases, the
    rate of photosynthesis increases because the enzymes become more active.

    Rate of
    photosynthesis is optimum at (35-40) °C. Beyond 40°C the rate of photosynthesis
    decreases and eventually stops since the enzymes become denatured.

    d) Water

  • Water is a raw material for photosynthesis. At extreme level of water shortage, rate of
    photosynthesis will be severely affected.

    Experiment to investigate the gas produced during photosynthesis

    Requirements

  • Water plant e.g. elodea, spirogyra, Nymphea (water lily), glass funnels, beakers, small
    wooden blocks, test tubes, wooden splints and sodium hydrogen carbonate.

    Procedure

    a) Set up the apparatus as shown in the figure below

    b) Place the set up in the sunlight to allow photosynthesis to take place.

    c) Leave the set up in the sun until sufficient gas has collected in the test tube.

    d) Test the gas collected with a glowing splint.

    e) Record your observations.

    Note:

  • In this experiment, sodium hydrogen carbonate is added to the water to boost the amount
    of carbon (IV) oxide in the water since water has a low concentration of carbon (IV)
    oxide.
  • A water plant is also selected because Water plants are adapted to photosynthesis under
    the low light intensity in water where terrestrial plants cannot easily photosynthesize.
  • This experiment can also be used to investigate the factors affecting the rate of
    photosynthesis:

    1) Carbon (IV) oxide concentration: Carry out the experiment using different
    amounts of dissolved sodium hydrogen carbonate e. g 5 g, 10g, 15g, 20g and
    examine the rate at which the gas collects.

    2) Light intensity: An artificial light source can be used. Illuminate the plant and
    vary the distance between the set up and the light source While recording the time
    it takes for the gas jar to fill or counting the number of bubbles peer unit time.

    3) Temperature: carry out the experiment at varying temperatures and record the
    rate at which the gas collects.

    Experiments on factors necessary for photosynthesis

    Light

    Requirements

  • Methylated spirit, iodine solution, water, white tile, droppers, beaker, source of heat,
    boiling tube, light proof material e.g. aluminium foil, potted plant and clips.
    Procedure
  • Cover two or more leaves of a potted plant with a light proof material.
  • Place the plant in a dark place for 48 hours (keeping the plant in the dark for 48 hours is
    to ensure that all the starch in it is used up. This makes the leaves ideal for investigating
    whether starch would form in the experimental period. This is called destarching).
  • Transfer the potted plant to light for 5 hours.
  • Detach and uncover the leaves and immediately test for starch in one of the covered
    leaves and one that was not covered.

    Carbon (IV) oxide

    Requirements

  • Sodium hydroxide pellets, flask, jelly

    Procedure

  • Destarch the plant for 48 hours
  • Place a few pellets of sodium hydroxide in the flask
  • Bore a hole in the cork of the same size as the petiole of the leaf being used
  • Cut the cork lengthwise.

    Chlorophyll

  • For this experiment, a variegated leaf is required. This is a leaf in which some patches
    lack chlorophyll.
  • These patches could be yellow. They lack chlorophyll hence photosynthesis does not take
    place in them.

    Procedure

  • Detarch or remove variegated leaf that has been exposed to light for at least three hours.
  • Draw a large diagram of the leaf to show the distribution of the chlorophyll
  • Test the leaf for starch and record observations.

    Chemicals Of Life

  • These are chemical compounds that constitute the living organisms.
  • Biochemistry is the branch of biology that deals with the study of the chemicals of life
    and their reactions.
  • Chemicals of life include carbohydrates, proteins and lipids.

    Carbohydrates

  • Are compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio of 1:2: l.
  • They have a general formula (CH2O)n where n represents the number of carbon atoms.
  • Carbohydrates are grouped into three categories:

    Monosaccharides

  • These are the simplest carbohydrates.
  • They include glucose, fructose, galactose.
  • Their general formula is C6H12O6.

    Properties of Monosaccharides

  • They are sweet tasting
  • They readily dissolve in water
  • They are crystallisable
  • They are reducing sugars; monosaccharides reduce blue copper (II) sulphate in
    Benedict’s solution to red brown copper (I) oxide when heated.

    Note:

  • Most fruits are sweet tasting because they contain a lot of monosaccharides.
  • Monosaccharide units can be combined to form complex carbohydrate molecules through
    a process known as condensation. Water molecules are produced in the process.
    Functions
  • They are the chief respiratory substrate. They are broken down to release energy in the
    body.
  • They are condensed to form complex important carbohydrates.

    Disaccharides

  • These are complex sugars formeed by linking two monosaccharide units through
    condensation.
  • They have a general formula CHHZZOH. The bond that holds two monosaccharide units
    is called glycosidic bond.
  • Examples of disaccharides include:
  • Maltose-common in germinating seeds
  • Sucrose-fruits and sugar cane. Sucrose is the form in which carbohydrates are
    transported in plants
  • Lactose- found in milk

    Properties of Disaccharides

  • They are sweet tasting
  • They are crystallizable
  • They are water soluble
  • While they are non reducing sugars, some such as maltose is sugar reducing and is known
    as a complex reducing sugar.
  • They can be broken down into their constituent monosaccharide units through hydrolysis.
    Hydrolysis is the process through which complex molecules are broken down in the
    presence of water molecules.
  • In living systems, hydrolysis is carried out by enzymes. However, in the laboratory,
    hydrolysis can be carried out by boiling the disaccharide in dilute aid such as
    hydrochloric acid.

    Functions

  • They are hydrolyzed into monosaccharides and respired on to yield energy
  • They are the form in which carbohydrates are transported in plants due to their soluble
    and inert nature.

    Polysaccharides

  • These are formed through linking of numerous monosacchride units through
    condensation.
  • Their general formula is (C6H10O5),, where n is a very large number.

    Properties of polysaccharides

  • They are non sweet
  • They do not dissolve in water
  • They are non crystalline
  • They are non-reducing sugars

    Examples of polysaccharides

    a) Starch– Made by linking numerous glucose molecules. It is a form in which
    carbohydrates are stored in plants.

    b) Glycogen– Is a storage carbohydrate in liver and muscles of animals. It is broken down to
    glucose in animals when blood glucose falls.

    c) Cellulose– This is a structural polysaccharide in plants. It is a component of the cell wall

    d) Chitin– A structural carbohydrate found in cell wall of fungi and arthropod exoskeletons

    Functions of polysaccharides

  • They are storage carbohydrates; their insolubility and inertness makes them ideal for
    storing carbohydrates.
  • They are structural carbohydrates e. g. cellulose forms the plant cell walls
  • They can be hydrolyzed into monosacharides and be broken down to release energy

    Lipids

  • These are compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. However, they contain lesser
    oxygen but higher hydrogen compared to carbohydrates.
  • Building units for lipids are fatty acids and glycerol. To synthesize a molecule of lipid,
    three fatty acids and a glycerol molecule are linked through a condensation reaction.
  • There is one type of glycerol but numerous fatty acids
  • There are different types of fatty acids. The property of a lipid therefore depends on the
    type of fatty acids that link up with the glycerol.
  • There are complex lipids such as phospholipids, steroids, waxes and cholesterol. These
    also form through condensation.

    Properties of lipids

  • Fats easily change to oil when heated while oils easily solidify when cooled.
  • They are insoluble in water but readily dissolve in organic solvents such as chloroform to
    form emulsions
  • They are inert hence can be stored in tissues of organisms.

    Functions

  • They are a source of energy when oxidized. They yield more energy compared to
    carbohydrates when oxidized per unit weight. However, they are less preferred as source
    of energy because they require a lot of oxygen to oxidize. In addition, they are insoluble
    hence not easy to transport to respiratory sites.
  • They are a source of metabolic water. When oxidized, they yield a lot of metabolic water.
    This explains why some desert animals such as camels store large quantities of fat in their
    bodies.
  • Lipids offer protection to internal organs as they are deposited around them to act as
    shock absorbers.
  • Lipids provide heat insulation when stored underneath the skin as they are poor
    conductors of heat hence do not conduct heat away from the body. Organisms in cold
    areas tend to be short and plump as they have fatter fat adipose.
  • Lipids form structural compounds for instance phospholipids in cell membrane.
  • Complex lipids such as waxes in leaves help minimize water loss through transpiration.
  • Some lipids mediate communication between cells

    Proteins

  • These are compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. In addition, they also contain
    nitrogen and sometimes phosphorous or sulphur or both.
    Some proteins molecules contain other elements. In particular, haemoglobin contains
    iron.
  • Proteins are made up of amino acids. There are about twenty known amino acids. Amino
    acids are of two kinds:

    a) Essential– These are those amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the body
    systems hence have to be supplied in the diet.

    b) Non essential– These are amino acids that can be synthesized by the body
    mechanisms hence do not need to be supplied in the diet.

  • An amino acid has an amino group, carboxyl group, hydrogen atom and an alkyl, R
    group. Amino acids differ from each other by the alkyl group.
  • Proteins are of two kinds:

    a) First class proteins– Contain all essential amino acids

    b) Second class proteins– Proteins lack one or more essential amino acids

    Protein synthesis

  • Two amino acids combine through a condensation process to form a dipeptide molecule
    Several amino acids link up to form a polypeptide chain. Proteins are made up of long
    chain polypeptides.
  • Properties of a protein depend on the type of amino acids present in its chain and the
    sequence in which the amino acids link up in the polypeptide chain.

    Properties of Proteins

  • They dissolve in Water to form colloidal suspensions in which the particles remain
    suspended in water.
  • They are denatured at temperatures beyond 40°C. Strong acids, bases, detergents and
    organic solvents also denature proteins.
  • They are amphoten’c- possess both basic and basic properties.
  • This property enables them to combine with other non protein substances to form
    conjugated proteins such as:
  • Mucus- Protein plus carbohydrate
  • Haemoglobin- Protein plus iron

    Functions of proteins

    a) They are structural compounds of the body. Cell membrane is protein in nature. Hair,
    nails and hooves are made up of protein keratin.

    b) Proteins are broken down to release energy during starvation when all carbohydrate and
    lipid reserves are depleted.

    c) Functional proteins play vital roles in metabolic regulation. Hormones are chemical
    messengers while enzymes regulate the speed of metabolic reactions.

    d) Proteins such as antibodies provide protection to the body against infections

    e) Some protein molecules are transport molecules. Haemoglobin molecule plays a crucial
    role in transportation of respiratory gases.

    f) Proteins play a vital role in blood clotting e. g. fibrinogen.

    g) Contractile proteins such as actin and myosin bring about movement.

    Enzymes

    What are enzymes?

  • Are organic catalysts that are protein in nature and regulate the rate of metabolic reactions.
  • They speed up or slow down the rate of metabolic reactions but to not get used up in the process.

    Types of enzymes

    a) Extracellular: Are produced within the cells but used outside the cells e. g. digestive
    enzymes.

    b) Intracellular: Are enzymes produced and used within the cells e. g. respiratory enzymes.

    Importance of Enzymes

  • They speed up the rate of chemical reactions that would otherwise be too slow to support
    life.
  • Some enzymes take part in synthesis/building of useful complex substances such as
    DNA.
  • Digestive enzymes breakdown complex food substances into simple foods that can be
    utilized by the cells.
  • Some metabolic enzymes such as catalase play a vital role in detoxification (making
    poisonous substances less harmful.

    Enzyme nomenclature

  • Two systems of naming enzymes have been adopted.

    a).Trivial naming

  • This is where an enzyme is named by the scientist who discovered it.
  • In trivial naming all enzyme names end in prefix —in.

    Examples

  • Pepsin (Theodor Schwann, German physiologist -1836).
  • Ptyalin (Anselme Payen, a French chemist- 1833).
  • Trypsin.

    b). Use of suffix -ase

  • Enzymes are assigned names by adding suffix -ase to the food substrate acted by the enzyme
    or by adding the suffix to the reaction being catalyzed by the enzyme.

    Substrates

  • Amylose (starch) ………… ..amylase.
  • Lipids …………………….. ..lipase.
  • Protein ………………….. .. protease.
  • Carbohydrate ……….. . . . . . . ..carbohydrase.
  • Lactose ……………………. ..lactase

    Processes/Reactions

    Hydrolysis ……………….. ..hydrolase

    Reduction ………………… ..reductase

    Oxidation …………………. ..oxidase

    Mechanism of action of Enzymes

  • Enzymes are not used up during metabolic reactions. They do have “active sites” through
    which the substrate molecules bind to the enzymes. The reaction is then catalyzed and the
    end products released. The enzyme is free to bind with another substrate molecule. The
    enzymes can be used again and again.

    Properties of Enzymes

  • They are protein in nature; hence affected by temperature and pH.
  • They are substrate specific e. g. maltase cannot digest sucrose.
  • They are efficient in small amounts since they are re-used in the reactions.
  • They mostly take part in reversible reactions.
  • They regulate the rate of metabolic activities but are not used up.

    Factors affecting enzyme activity

  • Temperature.
  • pH.
  • Substrate Concentration.
  • Enzyme Concentration.
  • Enzyme co-factors and co-enzymes; Fe, Mg, Zn, Cu ions.
  • Specificity.
  • Enzyme inhibitors.

    a)Temperature

  • At low temperatures, kinetic energy of enzymes and molecules are low. There are few
    collisions leading to low enzyme activity.
  • As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the enzyme and substrate molecules
    increases leading to increased collisions hence increase in enzyme activity.
  • Enzyme activity is optimum at (35 -40)°C.
  • Beyond 40 °C the rate of enzyme activity decreases and eventually stops. This is because
    enzymes get denatured and their active sites get destroyed.

    b)pH

  • Enzymes work best under different pH conditions.
  • Some enzymes work best under alkaline conditions e. g amylase. Some also work better
    under acidic conditions e. g. pepsin. However, most intracellular enzymes work better
    under neutral conditions.
  • Altering the pH conditions would affect enzyme activity.

    c)Enzyme Specificity

  • A particular enzyme will only act on a particular substrate or will only catalyze a
    particular reaction.
  • For instance, sucrase enzymes can only breakdown sucrose.

    d)Substrate Concentration

  • Assuming all other factors are constant, t low substrate concentration, the rate of enzyme
    activity is low.
  • Increase in substrate concentration increases the rate of enzyme activity since more active
    sites of the enzymes will be occupied and there will also be an increase in enzyme-
    substrate collisions leading to increased reaction.
  • The reaction increases up to a point at which it becomes constant. At this point, all active
    sites are utilized. The enzymes become the limiting factor of reaction. Increasing enzyme
    concentration would increase the rate of enzyme activity.

    e) Enzyme Concentration

  • An increase in enzyme concentration increases the rate of enzyme reaction up to a level
    beyond which the rate of reaction becomes constant.
  • At low enzyme concentration, rate of enzyme activity is low because there are fewer sites
    and also fewer enzyme-substrate collisions that would lead to reactions.
  • Increasing enzyme concentration increases rate of enzyme activity since there will be an
    increase in number of active sites and enzyme-substrate collisions.
  • At optimum enzyme concentration, substrate concentration is the limiting factor.
    Increasing substrate concentration increases the rate of reaction.

    f) Enzyme co-factors

  • These are inorganic substances which activate enzymes.
  • Without them, most enzymes would not function properly.
  • Co- factors include mineral ions like iron, magnesium, copper, manganese, zinc as well
    as vitamins.
  • They are used again and again since like enzymes, they do not get used up during the
    reactions.

    g) Co-enzymes

  • These are organic molecules that are required by some enzymes for their efficient
    functioning. Some enzymes will not function without them.
  • Most co-enzymes are derivatives of vitamins.

    Examples

    NAD- Nicotine Adenine Dinucleotide.

    FAD- Flavine Adenine Dinucleotide.

    NADP- Nicotine Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate.

    h) Enzyme inhibitors

  • These are chemical substances which slow down or eventually stops enzyme activity.
  • They are of two types:

    1. Competitive

    2. Non- competitive

    Competitive inhibitors

  • These are chemical substances which are structural analogs of the substrates i.e. they take
    up the shape of the substrates and compete for the active sites of the enzymes.
  • They bind with the enzymes and do not disentangle easily (they stay in the enzyme active
    site for a long time) thereby slowing down the rate of enzyme activity.
  • The reaction can be increased by increasing the substrate concentration.

    Non competitive inhibitors

  • These are inhibitors that do not resemble the substrate molecules but they combine with
    the enzyme at any site other the active site and alter the structure of the active site of the
    enzyme. The normal substrate, therefore, fails to bind to the active site leading to
    decreased rate of reaction.
  • Note that these substances do not compete for the active sites of the enzymes.
  • The enzymes are destroyed permanently hence the effect cannot be reversed.

    Examples of non competitive inhibitors

    Heavy metals (such as lead, mercury, silver), Cyanide, organophosphates such as malathion.

    Heterotrophism

  • This is a mode of nutrition in which organisms take in already manufactured complex
    food substances such as carbohydrates, proteins and lipids.
  • Heterotrophs are organisms that feed on already manufactured food substances.
  • These substances are broken down in the bodies of the Heterotrophs into simple soluble
    food substances that can be absorbed and be utilized by the cells.

    Modes of Heterotrophism

  • There are four main heterotrophic modes on nutrition:
  • Holozoic- Where organisms ingest, digest and assimilate solid complex food
    substances.
  • Saprophytism — Where organisms feed on dead decaying matter causing
    decomposition.
  • Parasitism- a feeding association in which one organism (parasite) feeds on or obtain
    nutrients on another organism, the host.
  • Symbiosis/Mutualism- An association where two organisms live together and
    mutually benefit from each other.

    a) Parasitism

  • There are two main types of parasites:
  • Endo parasites- Live inside the host
  • Ecto-parasites- Found on the external surface of the host.
  • The parasite benefits but the host does not. Some of the parasites cause diseases to the
    hosts and damage their tissues thereby weakening them.

    b) Symbiosis

  • In saprophytism, both organisms benefit:
  • Symbiotic relationships include

    > Rhizobium and leguminous plants: rhizobium fixes nitrogen for the legume while
    the bacteria obtains manufactured food from the legumes.

    > Lichen: association of fungi (absorbing water and nutrients) and algae
    (manufacturing food for the association.

    > Catalase digesting bacteria and ruminants.

    Dentition

  • Large animals depend on complex manufactured food substances.
  • These food substances once ingested must be broken down to simpler forms that can be
    utilized by the cells. The breakdown is both physical and chemical.
  • Most of the large animals have teeth to enhance physical breakdown of the complex food
    substances.
  • Dentition refers to the description of types of teeth, their arrangement and specialization.

    Types of Dentition

  • Homodont dentition: Teeth arrangement and description where an organism has teeth of
    the same size and shape. Fishes and birds have homodont dentition.

  • Heterodont dentition: where an organism has teeth of different sizes and shapes that is
    incisors, canines, premolars and molars. Heterodont dentition is common with mammals
    and reptiles.

    a) Incisors

  • Are flat and chisel shaped with sharp ridged edges for cutting and biting food.
  • They have one root.

    a. Canines

  • Are conical teeth with sharp pointed edges modified for seizing and tearing prey among
    carnivores.
  • They have one root

    b. Premolar and molar

  • They have cusps on their surface to suit their grinding action.
  • Premolars have two roots.
  • Molars have either two or three roots.

    Classes of Holozoic Heterotrophs

  • Holozoic heterotrophs are classified according to the type of food they consume.
  • These are:

    a) Herbivores: heterotrophs that exclusively feed on vegetation.

    b) Carnivores: heterotrophs exclusively feed on flesh.

    c) Omnivores: heterotrophs that feed on both flesh and vegetation.

  • Dentition of heterotrophs is based on the kind of food they consume.

    Dental Formula

  • This is the of the number, type and position of teeth in the jaws of animals
  • Number of teeth recorded represents half the total teeth in the upper and lower jaws.
  • The teeth names are abbreviated as

    a) i-incisors.

    b) c-canines.

    c) pm-premolars.

    d) m-molars.

  • An animal was found to have no incisors and canines on the upper jaw. It had six
    premolars and four molars on the upper jaw. On the lower jaw, it had eight incisors, no
    canines, six premolars and six molars.

    a) Write down its dental formula.

    b) State its mode of feeding.

    c) Give a reason.

    Herbivores

  • Most do not have upper incisors. Instead they have a homy pad against which grass is
    pressed and cut by the lower incisors.
  • They have a long tongue that assists in the cutting and moving food.
  • They have a gap in the lower jaw separating canines from premolars known as diastema
    which allows the tongue to manipulate food.
  • Herbivore teeth have open enamel which allows for continuous growth to replace worn
    out surfaces due to grinding.
  • Their incisors are wedge shaped to cut grass and vegetation together with the horny pad
  • The jaws have movable joints to allow the sideways movement of lower jaw to facilitate
    grinding of grass.

    Carnivores

  • Their incisors are chisel shaped and closely fitting to seize the prey.
  • Their canines are long, conical and curved to hold, kill and tear the prey.
  • Some of their premolars in the lower and upper jaw are modified into specialized
    carnassial teeth which have smooth sides and sharp edges to slice through flesh and crush
    bones
  • Premolars and molars are broad with cusps for crushing bones.
  • Their jaws are attached to powerful muscles that move the jaws up and down
  • Carnivores are adapted to fast running by possessing well developed leg muscles.

    Dental Diseases

    a) Dental Carries

  • Caused by lack of hard food, too much sweet or sugary food, lack of calcium in diet, lack
    of vitamin D, lack of cleaning teeth and general ill-health. The bacteria in the mouth
    break down the sugars to form energy and organic acids. The acids corrode the enamel.

    b) Periodontal Diseases

  • Caused by lack of vitamins A and C, lack of massage of the gums and imperfect cleaning
    of gums.
  • The gums become flabby and soft so they do not support the teeth. Common in adults
    than children.

    Are of two types:

    a) Gingivitis– Characterized by reddening of gums, bleeding and pus in the gums.

    b) Pyorrhea– The teeth become loose due to infection of the fibres holding the teeth in
    the sockets.

    Dental Hygiene

  • Proper teeth care requires:
  • Regular cleaning or brushing teeth after every meal
  • Avoid eating too much sugary foods.
  • Eating hard foods e. g. raw carrots, cassava, yams, sugar cane.
  • Eating diet rich in calcium, phosphate and vitamins A, C and D.
  • Teeth should be used for their correct purpose.
  • Regularly visit the dentist if necessary.

    Digestion

  • The process through which complex food substances is broken down physically and
    chemically into simpler food substances that can be absorbed by body cells.
  • However, small molecules like those of vitamins, mineral salts and water are directly
    absorbed into the bloodstream without undergoing digestion.
  • Digestion occurs in the mouth, stomach, duodenum and ileum.
  • There are glands also associated to the digestive system. These include the pancreas, gall
    bladder, salivary glands.

    Digestion in the mouth

  • At the mouth both physical and chemical digestion takes place.
  • The food is mechanically broken down by the teeth through grinding and chewing. This
    process is called mastication.
  • Mastication reduces the food into small size to increase the surface area for enzymatic
    action.
  • The tongue helps in manipulation of the food as it mixes the food with the saliva secreted
    from the salivary glands. The salivary glands are:

    a) Sublingual salivary gland; beneath the tongue

    b) Sub mandibular gland: under the jaw

    c) Parotid gland: Found in the cheeks in front of the ears.

  • All the glands have ducts through which saliva is directed to the mouth.
  • The tongue also rolls the food into small round masses called boluses. The boluses are
    then pushed to the back of the mouth to initiate the swallowing process. The boluses are
    then moved to the stomach via oesophagus. Movement is facilitated by a wave of
    muscular contractions of longitudinal and circular muscles of the oesophagus known as
    peristalsis.
  • There is a flap of cartilage, epiglottis which closes the wind pipe (trachea) during
    swallowing.

    Digestion in the stomach

  • Upon swallowing, the boluses move down the gullet to the stomach. The boluses enter
    the stomach via the cardiac sphincter (a muscular valve).
  • The stomach has thick circular and longitudinal muscle layers which contract and relax to
    produce movements that mix the contents of the stomach. The mixing process is known
    as churning and results in formation of a fluid called chyme
  • Arrival of food in the stomach stimulates secretion of the hormone gastrin which
    stimulates the gastric glands in the stomach walls to secrete gastric juice which contains:

    a) Pepsinogen-This is activated to pepsin which breaks down proteins to peptides.

    b) Rennin– Digests caseinogens protein in milk to casein (curd).

    e) Hydrochloric acid– This:

  • Activates pepsinogen to pepsin
  • Provides a favorable medium for action of the enzymes rennin and pepsin
  • Kills some bacteria ingested with food.

    d) Mucus– Forms a protective barrier to the stomach wall against corrosion by the
    HC1. Mucus is secreted by goblet cells in the epithelial membrane of the
    alimentary canal.

    Duodenum

  • The chyme then passes down to the Duodenum through pyloric sphincter.
  • Duodenum is the first section of the small intestine. In humans it measures about 25-38 cm. the
    chyme is let down into the duodenum in small quantities.
  • Secretions that contribute to digestion at the duodenum are received from:

    a) Gall bladder in the liver- Secretes bile.

    b) Pancreas- Secrete hormones and digestive enzymes.

  • Arrival of food in the duodenum stimulates secretion of

    i. Secretin hormone from the pancreas: Secretin stimulates secretion of pancreatic
    juice into the duodenum

    ii. Cholecystokinin from the duodenal wall: This stimulates secretion of bile from
    the gall bladder.

  • Pancreatic juice contains:

    a) Pancreatic amylase– This facilitates breakdown of the remaining starch into maltose

    b) Trypsin– Digests proteins into peptides.

    c) Pancreatic juice-Digests lipids into fatty acids and glycerol

    d) Sodium hydrogen carbonate– This:

    Provides alkaline medium for activity of the duodenum enzymes.

  • It also neutralizes the acidic chyme.
  • The bile juice contains bile salts that include sodium glycocholate and sodium
    taurocholate.
    These salts:

    i. Aid in emulsification (breakdown of fat molecules into tiny fat droplets to
    increase surface area for digestion).

    ii. The salts also provide a suitable alkaline medium for action of the duodenal
    enzymes.

    iii. In addition they neutralize the acidic chyme.

    Digestion in the ileum

  • Ileum is the final part of the small intestine.
  • The inner cells contain secretory cells some of which secrete mucus while some secrete
    an alkaline fluid known as succus entericus (intestinal juice). The arrival of chyme in
    ileum stimulates secretion of intestinal juice which contains:

    a) Maltase: speeds up breakdown of maltose to glucose

    b) Sucrase: speeds breakdown of sucrose to glucose and fructose

    c) Peptidase: speeds breakdown of peptides to amino acids

    d) Lipase: speeds breakdown of lipids to fatty acids and glycerol.

    e) Lactase: speeds breakdown of lactose to glucose and galactose.

    f) Polypeptidase: speeds breakdown of plypeptides into amino acids

    Note:

    The mucus secreted by the goblet cells lubricates food along the alimentary canal and
    also protect the canal from being digested by enzymes.

    At the end of digestion in the ileum, the resulting watery emulsion is called chyle; it
    contains soluble end products of digestion ready to be absorbed.

    Absorption

  • This is the process through which the soluble end products of digestion diffuse into the
    cellular lining of the villi.
  • Absorption of micronutrients such as water soluble vitamins, mineral salts and alcohol
    are absorbed at the stomach. Alcohol is equally absorbed here without undergoing
    digestion.
  • Most absorption of end products of digestion occurs in the ileum.
  • Molecules of amino acids and glucose pass through the epithelial lining and capillary
    walls into the blood system by active transport.
  • The capillaries drain into the hepatic portal vein where the absorbed products are
    transported to the liver before they are circulated to other body parts.
  • The fatty acids are absorbed into the lacteals of the villi which drain into the lymphatic
    vessels. The lymphatic vessels later join the blood circulatory system which transports
    them to other body parts.
  • The ileum is adapted to absorption in many ways

    a) It is long to provide a large surface area for absorption

    b) It has a narrow lumen so as to bring the digested food into close contact with the
    walls of the ileum for easier absorption

    c) It is highly coiled to slow down movement of food thus allowing more time for
    digestion and absorption of food.

    d) The inner surfaces have numerous villi and microvilli to increase surface area for
    absorption of end products of digestion.

    e) The epithelial lining is one cell thick to reduce the distance through which
    digested food diffuses.

    f) Has a dense network of blood capillaries into which digested food materials
    diffuse to increase transport and thus maintain a steep concentration gradient.

    g) Have lacteal vessels in the villi for absorption of fatty acids and glycerol.

    Egestion

    > This is the process through which the undigested and indigestible food substances are
    eliminated from the body.

    Caecum and Appendix

  • While these have no roles in man, they play vital roles in the ruminant animals and other
    herbivores.
  • They contain some bacteria which secrete cellulose enzyme. These enzymes
    digest cellulose since most digestive systems cannot secrete cellulose digesting enzyme.
    The bacteria and the herbivores are in a symbiotic relationship.

    Assimilation

  • This is process of incorporation of the end products of digestion into the cell metabolism.
  • It involves utilization of the end products of digestion into various uses.

    a) Glucose

  • Oxidized to release energy
  • Excess glucose is stored under the skin to provide heat insulation
  • Glucose is used to synthesize complex polysaccharide such as cellulose that is an
    important structural compound in plants.

    b) Fatty acids and glycerol

  • Oxidized to release energy
  • Combine to form neutral fats stored under the skin to provide heat insulation
  • Used to build structures

    c) Amino acids

  • Used to synthesize proteins for general body growth
  • Oxidized during starvation to release energy.

    Vitamins

  • These are organic chemical compounds that are essential for a healthy body.
  • Some are synthesized in the body through the action of some microorganisms while some
    are also obtained in fresh fruits and vegetables.
  • Vitamins are destroyed when foods are excessively cooked. They are required in small
    quantities.
  • They play vital roles in metabolic reactions. Some act as co-enzymes while some
    influence the intake of certain substances. In particular, vitamin C influences uptake of
    iron while vitamin D influences absorption of calcium ions in the gut.
  • Lack of vitamins in the body results into abnormities that manifest through various
    deficiency diseases. These deficiency diseases can be corrected by inclusion of the
    deficient vitamins in the diet or taking the vitamin supplements.
  • There are two classes of vitamins owing to their solubility:

    a) Fat soluble vitamins– They dissolve in fats and are often stored in the liver.
    Include Vitamins A, D, E, K.

    b) Water soluble vitamins– Dissolve in water. Include vitamins B1, B2, B5, B12 and
    C.

    Importance of roughage

    a) It rubs against the walls of the alimentary canal stimulating secretion of digestive
    enzymes and mucus to lubricate the epithelial lining.

    b) Roughage enhance peristalsis since as they rub against the walls of the alimentary canal,
    they stimulate contraction and relaxation of the muscles.

    c) Roughage is an absorbent; it extracts water from the alimentary canal making the fecal
    matter bulky and moist hence can be easily propelled by peristaltic movements. This
    prevents constipation.
