Its extent was over the entire world including Asia, Africa, and the Pacific. This period witnessed innovations in the methods of destruction and defence, which in turn termed the period as the First World War . The war was fought on the land and in the air, on the sea and under it, with all the resources of the world mobilised for military purposes. Causes of the First World War Militant Nationalism This was the result of Aggressive Nationalism, Economic Competition and International Tension, which emerged in Europe in the second half of the 19th century. Aggressive nationalism basically meant the immense love and interest for one s own country and hatred towards the other countries. Fierce economic competition meant cut-throat commercial ambitions of the European nations, which ended up with an armed conflict amongst all the other nations, further leading to international tension and problems across the world. Race for Armaments The mad race for armaments which began soon after the Franco-Prussian War was one of the reasons, which led to the First World War.There was a great competition amongst Britain, Germany, France and Africa for increasing its armaments, in the name of self-defence and preservation of peace. But in reality, it filled the atmosphere with fear, apprehension and mutual hatredness. Division of Europe into Two Hostile Groups In Europe, there were two kinds of States, first was Single nation States likeFrance, Holland and Germany, which were based on common languages and common traditions that they shared.And the other kind were the Imperial States consisting Austria-Hungarian empire and the Russian empire, who spoke different languages and had different cultural traditions. Thus Europe was divided into two major camps on one side were England, France and Russia known as Triple Entente and on the other side Germany, Austria Hungary, Italy and Turkey known as Triple Alliance was formed. The suspicions ,fears, rivalry and enmity between the two camps was a major step towards World War I. Scramble for new Colonies France,Spain,Portugal and Engalnd had established colonies in various parts of the world. With Germany emerging as a powerful industrial nation, there was a great rivalry among the European nations to set up and control colonies. Sarajevo Crisis (Immediate Cause) One of the major causes of the First World War was the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary at Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia on 28th June, 1914. The assassination was planned and carried out by a secret society of the extremist Serbian nationalists called the Black Hand or the Union of Death. The assassin, Gavrilo Princep was nineteen year old Bosnian, the first student revolutionary to change the course of the history of Europe. Austria put the blame on the Serbian government for this crime and sent an ultimatum. As Serbia refused to comply with some conditions, because Russian instigated her,so Austria declared a war against Serbia on July 28,1914. Home work 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. What was the immediate cause of the First World War? Name the countries that formed the Allied Powers. Explain any three causes of the First World War. What do mean by militant nationalism? When First world war was started? DREAMLAND SCHOOL BIOLOGY - CLASS 10 (2020 2021) ASSIGNMENT CHAPTER ABSORPTION BY ROOTS BRIEF EXPLANATION Absorption is a physiological process of plants which enables uptake of water by roots to be used by the plant for various processes like photosynthesis, transpiration, transportation of various substances, giving mechanical support ( rigidity). Roots for absorbing water should have three basic characteristics1) Surface area of roots should be enormous 2) Root hairs contain cell sap of higher concentration than of surrounding water 3) Root hair have thin walls The water travels upward through the stem by 5 phenomenon 1) Diffusion free movement of molecules of a substance from Region of higher concentration to region of lower Concentration when the two are in contact. 2) Osmosis - movement of water molecules from higher to Lower concentration across a semi permeable membrane 3) Imbibition absorption of water by surface attraction. 4) Passive transport - similar to diffusion. 5) Active transport passage of substance ( salt or ion) from Lower to higher concentration using energy. Endosmosis inward diffusion of water through semi permeable Membrane when surrounding solution is less concentrated ( solute concentration less and water concentration more) Cell tends to swell up. Exosmosis - outward diffusion of water through semi permeable membrane when surrounding solution is more concentrated ( solute concentration more and water concentration less).cells shrink. Osmotic pressure it is the minimum pressure that must be exerted to prevent the passage of pure solvent into the solution when the two are separated by a semi permeable membrane. Tonicity relative concentration of the solution that determine the direction and extent of diffusion is called tonicity. It is of three types 1) Isotonic same concentration on both the sides. 2) Hypotonic - solution outside has a low solute concentration and high water concentration causing water to move inside ( endosmosis). Outside means outside the cell. 3) Hypertonic solution outside the cell has a higher solute concentration and low water concentration causing water to move out of the cell. ( exosmosis). When the cell reaches a state where it cannot accommodate any more water , it is called turgid. Turgor pressure - it is the pressure the cell contents apply on the cell wall. Wall pressure - it is the pressure the cell wall applies on the cell content. When a cell is placed in pure water then it remains in fully distended condition and shows turgidity. When the cell is placed in 5% salt solution the water moves out of the cell as the water concentration inside the cell is higher than the water concentration in the solution by the process of exosmosis. Due to this the cytoplasm and plasma membrane will shrink away from the cell wall resulting in plasmolysis & the condition is known as flaccidity. Again when the cell will be placed back in pure water then water will move into the cell resulting in deplasmolysis. Turgidity is required for the following1) Provides rigidity. 2) Helps push through hard ground. 3) Build up root pressure. 4) Helps in opening and closing of stomata. 5) Helps in turgor movement. Wilting drooping of leaves due to loss of turgidity. Four main forces in ascent of sap( upward movement of sap) 1) Root pressure- pressure developed in root for drawing up water and rise up the stem. 2) Cappilarity narrower the diameter of the xylem the water will move up more height exerting capillarity force. 3) Transpirational pull- tendency of water molecules to be pulled up the xylem to fill up the vaccum created by loss of water due to transpiration. Water moleculeshas a tendency to remained joined ( cohesion attachment of particles of same substance) 4) Adhesion it causes water to stick to the surface of cells thus drawing more water molecules from below when leaf cells lose water. Diffusion ASSIGNMENT 3 1) Define the following:a) Turgidity b) Plasmolysis c) Exosmosis d) Active transport e) Osmotic pressure f) Hypertonic solution 2) Differntiate between a) Isotonic & hypotonic solution ( definition) b) Plasmolysis & deplasmolysis ( direction of movement of water) c) Exosmosis and endosmosis ( definition) 3) Give reason a) We gargle in saline water in case of throat infection. b) A closed can of dried seeds burst open if some water enters it by accident. 4) What is tonicity? 5) Name the following :a) The pressure through which water can rise upto some feet b) The inward movement of solvent molecules through plasma membrane of a cell. c) Condition of cell in which cell contents are shrunken. d) Solutions which have the same osmotic pressure.

India being essentially an agricultural country, we need water for agriculture as well as industry. The main sources of water are as follows Surface water Ground water Lagoons and backwater Surface water Rainfall is the main sources of fresh water in India. From precipitation along India receives 4000 km3 water. Surface water is available on the surface of the earth in the forms of rivers, lakes, ponds and canals. Ground water The part of rainwater that seeps through the cracks and crevices into the ground is called ground water. . It is India an important water source in India. Due to the highly variable nature of climate, ground water has become a popular alternative for irrigation domestic water use. The distribution of ground is very uneven in India. Irrigation: Irrigation refers to the process of providing water through artificial means to an area of land for cultivation of crops. Importance of irrigation in India: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Uncertainly and irregularity of monsoonal rainfall. Uneven distribution of rain across the country. Seasonal type of rainfall. HYV (High Yielding Variety) seeds need more water. Double or multiple cropping. Torrential rainfall. Methods of irrigation: Canal irrigation: Canal irrigation amount is about 40% of the total irrigated area in the country. This type of irrigation is more prevalent in the Northern part of the country where the rivers are perennial and flow through flat terrain. Types of canal Irrigation a)Inundation Canal: Advantages: 1. Easily and cheaply built. 2. Useful in controlling floods. Disadvantages: 1. Uncertainty of water supply. 2. Only can be used during floods. 3. Only low land can be irrigated. b)Perennial Canal: Advantages: 1. These canals serve throughout the year. 2. Cultivation of some crops can be carried round the year. Disadvantages: 1. Due to over flooding the soil become unsuitable for farming. 2. Sometimes due to water-logging the areas turn into swamps. 3. It is expensive to construct. Northern India is more suitable in canal irrigation than the South, reasons The rivers of northern plains are perennials as they are snow fed than southern India. The surface of the northern plains is flat and soft, but in the south the region become rocky. Due to the agricultural production the demand for irrigation is greater than southern India. II) Tank Irrigation: Tank irrigation is useful in the areas which are dependent on rainfall for their water supply. Tanks are used mostly in peninsular India, where the underlying hare rocks do not allow the water to seep through. Favorable Conditions for building tanks in Peninsular India: 1. In peninsular India area is uneven with many natural tanks. 2. The Deccan plateau consists of underlying hard, non-porous rocks. 3. In peninsular India tanks collect water during rainy season. Advantages of tank irrigation: 1. It is prevalent in Deccan plateau region where water is collected for irrigation. 2. It is cheaper than other irrigation. 3. Tank irrigation can be used in dry season. 4. Tank water can be used for domestic purpose. Disadvantages of tank irrigation: 1. Large amount of water is wasted through evaporation. 2. Tanks are non-perennial and may dry up during summer. 3. Tanks often have to be desilted. Areas-South India mostly in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Telengana, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. ASSESMENT QUESTIONS: 1. Write the importance of irrigation. 2. Write two disadvantages inundation canal. 3. Northern India is more suitable in canal irrigation than south India give reason 4. In which states of India tank irrigation is common? 5. Write the advantages of tank irrigation. 6. Tank irrigation is common in peninsular India-give reason.
