Trace the development of microsporocyte in the anther to a mature pollen grain. |
|
Answer» Microsporocyte or microspore mother cells are polygonal and closely packed initially. Pollen grains develop from them in pollen sacs of anthers. As anther enlarges, pollen sac becomes loosely arranged. A few microsporocytes becomes non-functional and are absorbed by developing microspores. Each microsporocyte undergoes meiosis and from four haploid nuclei (microspores or pollen gains). They arrange in a tetrahedral manner. later on each microspore separates and develops into a mature pollen grain. |

Explain the exchange of gases in alveoli? |
|
Answer» Alveoli increase the respiratory surface area in lungs. This large surface area help in the easy exchange of respiratory gases. Alveoli are surrounded by numerous capillaries.

During inspiration, the concentration of oxygen inside the alveoli is higher than that of blood capillaries whereas the concentration of carbon dioxide in blood capillaries is higher than that of alveoli. As a result oxygen from the alveoli diffuses to the capillaries and carbon dioxide from capillaries diffuses to the alveoli |
