BIOLOGY LESSON NOTE ON CROP PROPAGATION

Image
Topic: Crop Propagation Class: Senior Secondary School 2 (SS2) Subject: Biology Specific Objectives By the end of this lesson, students should be able to: Define crop propagation. Differentiate between sexual and asexual propagation. Identify and explain various methods of crop propagation. Highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Recognize common examples of crops propagated using each method. Lesson Content 1. Meaning of Crop Propagation Crop propagation refers to the process by which plants reproduce or are reproduced to give rise to new plants. This can occur naturally or be carried out artificially by farmers or agricultural scientists. It is a vital practice in agriculture that ensures the continuous production of food and other plant-based resources. 2. Types of Crop Propagation Crop propagation is broadly categorized into two main types: Sexual Propagation (Seed Propagation) Asexual Propagation (Vegetative Propagation) 3. Sexual Propa...

RESPIRATION

 The process of respiration involves the taking in of oxygen, its transport within the body of the organism, its exchange in the cells, and the eventual release of energy in form of ATP, water and carbon(iv)oxide. The energy is utilized by the cells for their daily activities. Respiration can be defined as a biochemical activity of the cell, in which glucose is broken down in a series of reaction controlled by enzymes in order to release energy.

Phases/Stages of Respiration

External Respiration: This simply involves the breathing in of air or oxygen into the respiratory organs such as lungs or gills otherwise called inspiration or inhalation and the breathing out of carbon dioxide and water vapour into the atmosphere otherwise called expiration or exhalation. It is the exchange of gases between the environment and the respiratory organs of living organisms.

Internal Respiration:  This is the oxidation of food substances within the cells, leading to the release of energy, carbon dioxide, and water. This is made possible by the oxygen taken in through the breathing process. Carbon dioxide, water and energy are given out by these cells in return.

This can be represented by the following equation:

C6H12O6 + 6O6 → 6H2O + 6C02 + Energy (ATP)
