While eating peach or pear it is usually seen that some stone like structures get entangled in the teeth, what are these stone like structures called?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

There are sclereids in the fleshy pulp of peach and pear fruit. There are sclerenchyma cells and dead cells. Their main function is to support in soft tissues.

Let us take a glass slide with a drop of water on it. Using an ice cream spoon gently scrape the inside surface of the cheek. Does any material get stuck on the spoon ? With the help of a needle we can transfer this material and spread it evenly on the glass slide kept ready for this. To colour the material we can put a drop of methylene blue solution on it. Now the material is ready for observation under microscope. Do not forget to put a cover-slip on it. Was there a darkly coloured, spherical or oval, dot-like structure near the centre of each cell ? Were there similar structures in onion peel cells?

    Take a freshyl plucked leaf of Rhoeo. Strech and break it by applying pressure. While breaking it. Keep it stretched gently so that some peel or skin projects out from the cut. Remove this peel put it in a petri dish filled with water. Add a few drops of safranim. Wait for a couple of minutes and then transfer in onto a slide. Gently place a cover slip over it. Observe under microscope. Observation : A peel of Rhoeo leaf if mounted on the slide and observed under a microscope, it reveals the structure of a leaf. The cells of epidermis and stomata are seen when observed. Structure of a leaf : Outermost layer of the leaf is made - up of single layered cells called epidermis. Epidermis layer does not have intercellular spaces. The cells are flat, with outer and side walls thicker than the inner wall. Small pores, i.e., stomata are seen in the epidermal layer. Stomata help in transpiration and gaseous exchange. Desert plants have thicker epidermis for protection. In dry habitats, water loss is the critical problem. The entire surface of the plant is therefore covered over by epidermis. Aerial parts of the plant are covered by epidermal cells. They secrete water - resistant, waxy layer for the purpose of protection. Epidermal cells also protect the plant from mechanical injury and parasitic invasion of fungi. Think about which gas may be required for photosynthesis.

    In nature the failure of structural members usually result from large torque because of twisting or bending rather than due to tensile or compressive strains. This process of structural breakdown is called buckling and in cases of tall cylindrical structures like trees, the torque is caused by its own weight bending the structure. Thus, the vertical through the centre of gravity does not fall within the base. The elastic torque caused because of this bending about the central axis of the tree is given by (Ypi r ^(2))/(4R) Y is the Young's modulus, r is the radius 4R of the trunk and R is the radius of curvature of the bent surface along the height of the tree containing the centre of gravity (the neutral surface). Estimate the critical height of a tree for a given radius of the trunk.

    Protein found in a biological system with a unique three-dimensional structure and biological activity is called a native protein. When a protein in its native form, is subjected to a physical change like change in temperature or a chemical change like, change in pH, denaturation of proteins takes. Explain the cause.
