BIOLOGY KEY ANSWERS 1. The special adaptations of a fish to live in water are fins for movement, gills for respiration and streamline body. 2. While processed combustion the substances combine with oxygen to liberate carbon di oxide to atmosphere. This shows that combustion helps in recycling carbon. 3. Reservoir pool for phosphorous is Lithosphere (phosphate rocks and fossil bones deposits in Lithosphere) 4.The technique is called Genetic engineering. 5.Gymno sperms produced naked seeds cones the reproductive structures. 6. Cuticle in an aquatic plant prevents the decaying the tissues of leaves and other parts of the plants ii).The cuticle in dessert plant prevents the excessive loss of water. 7. Antheridium is the male sex organ which produces male gamates.Archegoniun is the female sex organ which produces female gametes. 8. Biodegradable substances can be converted into harmless substances by the living organisms. Non-biodegradable substances cannot be degraded by bacterial activity 9. The organ which receives stimuli are receptors .The organ which conducts the stimulus from receptors to the effecters are conductors.Ex=nerves 10. Place the lactometer in a given sample of milk. If it gives a reading 1.026 it is pure milk, otherwise it is adulterated 11.due to the leakage of blood vessel of the retina in diabetic patient is cause the diabetic retinopathy . i).vitrectomy can restore vision. ii).astigmatism caused by an unevenness of the refactive surfaces of the eye. This is corrected by using cylindrical lenses . iii).Glaucoma is due to the hardening of the eye ball. This can cured by eye drops medicines or surgery 12.Structure of HIV.
