✅PLASMOLYSIS
✅Definition:
      Plasmolysis is the shrinkage of the cell contents (protoplasm) away from the cell wall due to loss of water.
🧠 Trick:
👉 “Plasmolysis = Plasma leaves the wall”
✅TURGID CELL
✅ Definition:
       A turgid cell is a swollen cell due to gain of water.
🧠 Trick:
👉 “Turgid = Tight & Full”
✅FLACCID CELL
✅ Definition:
       A flaccid cell is a limp or soft cell due to slight loss of water.

🧠 Trick:
👉 “Flaccid = Flat & Soft” 

✅ MEDIATED TRANSPORT
✅ DEFINITION
👉 Mediated transport is the movement of substances across the membrane with the help of protein channels or carriers.
👉 Plasma membrane is a selectively permeable membrane made of phospholipids and proteins. Mediated transport is the movement of substances through this membrane with the help of proteins. It includes facilitated diffusion (no energy) and active transport (requires ATP).
🔹 WHY NEEDED?
👉 Some substances:
Are large (glucose)
Are charged (ions)
Cannot pass through lipid layer
So, they need protein help 

✅ PLASMA MEMBRANE (CELL MEMBRANE)
👉 The plasma membrane is the outer boundary of the cell that controls the entry and exit of substances.
STRUCTURE (VERY IMPORTANT)
✅ STRUCTURE (PHOSPHOLIPID BILAYER)
✅ Phospholipids:
Form double layer (bilayer)
Each has:
Hydrophilic head (water-loving) → faces outside
Hydrophobic tail (water-hating) → faces inside
👉 This forms a selective barrier

✅ ANIMAL CELL
Small size
No cell wall
No plastids
Small vacuoles
Has centrioles
✅ PLANT CELL
Larger size
Cell wall present
Plastids present
Large vacuole
No centrioles

“Body grows, puberty starts, organs mature, male and female unite, new life begins”

👉Humans reproduce by internal fertilization

👉 Sexual reproduction requires two individuals (male & female

👉 Reproductive tissues mature after body growth slows down.

👉 “Puberty brings changes in body structure, appearance and reproductive maturity.”

👉 “Puberty changes occur gradually and vary from person to person.”

👉 “Puberty is the stage when reproductive tissues mature after body growth slows down.”

👉 Puberty is the stage when reproductive organs mature

👉 Reproductive organs are needed for transfer of germ-cells.

👉 “Sexual reproduction requires fusion of germ-cells from two individuals and is supported by specialized reproductive organs.”

👉 “Flower makes pollen, pollen reaches stigma, tube forms, fusion happens, seed and fruit develop”

👉 “Pretty Students Study Peacefully”

  👉 “Fission is a type of asexual reproduction in which a single cell divides to form two or many new individuals.” 

• One cell → 2 cells 

👉 “Amoeba, Bacteria = Simple split”

👉 Amoeba:
👉 “Amoeba has NO direction”

→ splits in fixed direction

👉 Mnemonic:
👉 “Multiple = Many at once”

• One cell → many daughter cells

👉 “Plasmodium = Plenty cells”

👉 “Amoeba splits freely, Leishmania splits straight, Plasmodium makes many”

👉 Imagine:

• Amoeba → blob splitting randomly 
• Leishmania → straight cut 
• Plasmodium → explosion into many 

👉 “Plasmodium = Many”

• Fission = splitting 
• Binary → 2 
• Multiple → many 
• Amoeba → any plane
