DELETED PORTIONS CLASS XI: PRACTICAL
A: List of Experiments
1. Description of Family Fabaceae; Types of root (Tap and adventitious); types of stem
(herbaceous and woody); leaf(arrangement, shape, venation, simple and compound). 2. Preparation and study of T.S. of dicot and monocot roots and stems (primary)
3. Study of osmosis by potato osmometer.
4. Study of plasmolysis in epidermal peels (e.g. Rhoeo/lily leaves or flashy scale leaves of onion bulb).
5. Comparative study of the rates of transpiration in the upper and lower surface of leaves.
6. Test for the presence of sugar, starch, proteins and fats in suitable plant and animal materials.
7. Test for presence of urea in urine.
8. Test for presence of bile salts in urine.
B. Study/Observation of the following (spotting)
1. Tissues and diversity in shape and size of plant cells (palisade cells, guard cells, parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma, xylem and phloem) throughtemporary and permanent slides.
2. Different modifications in roots, stems and leaves.
3. Different types of inflorescence (cymose and racemose).
4. Human skeleton and different types of joints with the help of virtual images/models only.
