Photosynthesis for class 10th

●Photosynthesis(Photo=Light):-The biological process In which the plants synthesis their own food with the help of SunLight, Carbon Dioxide and water.It is the characteristic feature of plants.

Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves of plants.where the sunlight is traped by green pigment chloroplast.Carbon Dioxide is taken from Atmosphere through Minute pore On leaves called stomata and water is absorbed by roots from soil and conducted to leaves through xylum to leaves.
Oxygen is released after Respiration through stomata.

Structure and function of Neuron

Neurons (nerve cells) are the functional units of the nervous system. A typical neuron is divided into three parts i.e Cell body or Soma,Some contains all the cell organelles like Nucleus, Mitochondria etc. Dendrites and Axon. Schwann cells of Axon are covered by Myelin Sheath. Dendrites are branched like structures on Soma. Axon terminal is also branched like structure. The signals are received from neuron by dendrites and are send to next neuron bye chemo-electrical impulses through axon. The junction between the two cells is known as Synapses.In neuron signal travels in the form of chemicals but at synapses in changes in to electrical impulses.

Absorption of Nutrients in Small Intestines

The digested food is now in simple form and is ready to use by cells. The inner wall of small intestines is called as Mucosa, it has numerous finger like projections called as Villi (singular- villus), which in-turn has finger like projections called as micro-villi. The purpose of villus is to provide large surface area for nutrient absorption. Villi have large network of blood capillaries, where the nutrients are absorbed in blood by diffusion.Most of the nutrients are absorbed in jejunum. except Iron is absorbed in duodenum vitamin B12 and bile salts are absorbed in the terminal ileum. Through blood digested food reaches to each and every cell of the body.
