Mucopolysaccharides

Mucopolysaccharides or mucilages are the slimy substances produced by the plants.when husk of isbgol  is soaked it takes slimy form.when we cut ladyfinger vern. Bhindi  we can feel the slimy and sticky substance on our fingers.this is mucilage or a mucopolysaccharide. Mucilages  are also formed by sea weeds . agar,alginic acid, carrageenin are all mucilages of commercial importance. Mucopolysaccharides occur in cell wall of bacteria,connective tissue of animals and some body fluids.in cell wall they bind the proteins.in connective tissue and interstitial spaces they hold water.when present around ligaments and tendons they provide lubrication.synovial fluid in joints is a mucopolysaccharide.vitreous humour in eye ball contain mucopolysaccharide.hyaluronic acid occur in connective tissue.chondroitin sulphate occur in cartilage where it provides strength and flexibility.

Are bones living or non living

Are bones living or non living:
Bone is made up of organic and inorganic material.the inorganic part constitutes 2/3rd of entire bone substance and it includes mainly the compounds of calcium and phophorus.organic material is mainly collagen fibres./ although bone is made up of compounds of calcium and phosphorus but there are living cells associated with bones which bring about growth of bones and perform other functions eg, bone has concentric rings of bone cells osteocytes.the hollow cavity in the bone has bone marrow which give rise to red and white blood cells.external surface of the bone is covered by a membrane called periosteum.this membrane has outer fibrous and inner cellular layers and it has rich blood supply through fine blood vessels./ in this way bones are living as long as they are inside the living body.bones undergo growth and repair also.but, when bones are outside the body and the cellr associated with them become dead then bone is a non living structure.

Why some old age people complain of stiff joints

Why some old age people complain of stiff joints

Many joints like knee joints,shoulder joints contain a lubricating fluid called synovial fluid.this fluid prevents friction between ends of bones.in old age formation of this fluid decreases.as a result friction between bones at joint site increases and bones can't move smoothly.therefore some people in old age complain of stiff joints

ADVANTAGE OF PROPAGATION OF ROSE BY BUDDING AND CUTTING

Advantage of propagation of rose  by cutting:
 1.It is an easy and quick method
2.it gives flowers similar to parent plant.
advantage of propagation of rose by budding:
1. in this method plant already have well established stem and roots therefore new branches grow faster  and flower soon.
 2.Same plant can be made to produce different coloured roses.Suppose buds  from yellow and white rose plant are grafted on red rose stem.in this case same plant will produce red yellow and white roses on different branches.
