Description
Physics is defined as the study of matter and its relation to energy. The subject is
applied in explaining phenomena like eclipse, lightning, rainbow, mirage and
many other wonders of nature. Physics explains the how and why behind the:
• falling of bodies towards the ground.
• daily occurrence of tides in the sea.
• rising up of a liquid through a drinking straw.
• cracking sound produced when removing a nylon cloth from the body, and
many more.
• rapid technological developments in communication,

EXCHANGE OF RESPIRATORY GASES
Active body cells require lots of oxygen for energy production in aerobic respiration as we learnt in Lecture IV. A major by product of aerobic respiration is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid and hence disturbs acid base balance in the body. Accumulation of carbon dioxide is therefore toxic to the cells as it may cause acidosis. Living cells have mechanisms of intake of oxygen and elimination of carbon dioxide. The two gases are known as respiratory gases. In small organisms such as protozoans the body surface provides an adequate surface area for the exchange of respiratory gases by diffusion. In mammals and other higher animals there are specialized systems for exchange of respiratory gases.

EMBRYONIC GROWTH AND METAMORPHOSES IN INSECTS
Trending!
Once an insect hatches from the egg it is usually
able to survive on its own, but it is small, wingless,
and sexually immature. Its primary role in life is to
eat and grow. If it survives, it will periodically
outgrow and replace its exoskeleton (a process known as moulting).
• In many species, there are other physical changes that also occur as the insect gets older (e.g., growth of wings and development of external genitalia)

Subphylum Uniramia
Trending!
Five classes of Uniramia are recognized:
1. Class Diplopoda (millipedes)
2. Class Chilopoda (centipedes)
3. Class Symphyla (sympylids)
4. Class Pauropoda (pauropods)
5. Class Insecta (insects)
Centipedes, millipedes, symphylids and pauropods are collectively called myriapodous arthropods (Myriapods). All have long trunks with many segments and appendages, most of which are walking legs.

Insect Hormones
Trending!
Insect Hormones
• A hormone is a chemical signal sent from cells in one
part of an organism to cells in another part (or parts) of
the same individual. They are often regarded as chemical messengers.
• Typically produced in very small quantities, but cause profound changes in their target cells
• Their effect may be stimulatory or inhibitory
• In some cases, a single hormone may have multiple targets and cause different effects in each target
• Examples of processes controlled by hormones include moulting, metamorphosis, oocyte development (vitellogenesis), colour change and diurnal rhythms of activity
