Gaseous Exchange

-
Gaseous exchange is the diffusion of gases from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This term is used for the exchange of oxygen (o2) and carbon dioxide (o2) between and organism and its environment. In animal, gaseous exchange takes place during respiration while in plant, gaseous exchange takes place during photosynthesis and respiration.

Process of urine formation

Process of urine formation can be divided in to three sub processes. 1. Pressure Filtration Arterial blood comes to the glomerulus with pressure exerted by the pumping of blood by the heart.  This blood while passing through glomerulus is filtered into Bowman's capsule. Blood is filtered here because walls of the glomerulus are porous,  and the fraction of the blood pressure reaching here provides the filtration pressure.  This filtrate collected in glomerulus is called as glomerular filtrate. Every thing which is smaller than the pores of the glomerulus is filtered out of the blood. Generally blood cells and plasma proteins are not filtered out whereas water and dissolved salts,  sugar,  medicines and nitrogenous wastes are filtered out of the glomerulus into the Bowmann's capsule. From here they enter the next part the renal tubule. As many useful substance such as glucose,  amino acids,  salts etc are still present in Bowmann's filtrate in aqueous...

Components of Ecosystem

An ecosystem consist of two major components namely , abiotic components and biotic components. Both these components are equally important for the proper functioning of the ecosystem. a. Abiotic components of Ecosystem The following are the major abiotic components of an ecosystem 1.Light    2. Water   3. Temperature  4. Atmosphere   5. Fire    6. Soil   7. Inorganic material    8. Gravity 1. light Light influences the growth and distribution of living organisms. Plants utilize sunlight during photosynthesis and prepare food. Light intensity, light quality,  light quantity and light duration affect life of animals and plants in one way or the other. For example the plant growing under insufficient light do not develop chlorophyll and they high intensity of light destroys chlorophyll.      Rainforests are home to rich biodiversity present on  2.water  Water is a vital component of life.

NEED OF POPULATION PLANNING

-

with one of the world's highest population growth rate, Pakistan is facing great challenges to achieve goals of population planning. Atcurrent growth rate of about 2.8/ percent annually pakistan' s population will exceed 280 million by the 2020. Pakistan is a developing country and per capita income is under $1000 per year, and economy is growing slowly. Rapid population growth puts great pressure on agricultural land and hinders prospects from economic and social development.  Now our population is nearly 180 million. It means in coming years if our growth rate remains same we will run out of resources to meet the needs of people.  Even as standing now, our cities struggle to accommodate the growing sea of paople that lives in them, and we lack hospitals, school,  roads and even the supplies of water needed to meet the basic needs of our rural population. We need to accept the fact that population planning has become compelling need, which simply cannot be ignored or sh...
