                   Electricity Charge Protons and electrons possess some charge. Proton has positive charge. Electron has negative charge. Neutron does not possess any charge. Like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other. Conductors and Insulators Conductors are those materials in which electrons can move freely. All metals are conductors. Insulators do not have any free electrons to move.  For example , wood and plastic. Electric Current The flow of electric charge is known as  Electric Current . It is expressed in terms of rate of flow of charges. The SI unit of electric current is Ampere (A). Direction of electric current is same as direction of positive charges and opposite to the direction of flow of negative charges. Potential Difference Work done per unit charge in taking charge from one point to another is known as  Potential Difference . The unit of potential difference is volt (V). 1V is de...

         Noteswala 2020            Life process All the processes such as respiration, nutrition, circulation, excretion etc. that are necessary for the survival of the living organisms are known as life processes. Modes of Nutrition The two most common type of nutrition are autotrophic nutrition and heterotrophic nutrition. Autotrophic Nutrition It is a type of nutrition in which inorganic materials such as carbon-dioxide, is used up to synthesize organic food by a process known as photosynthesis. For example, green plants use autotrophic mode of nutrition. Organisms which uses autotrophic mode of nutrition are known as autotrophs. Now the question arises how autotrophic nutrition occurs in plants using photosynthesis? For the photosynthesis to occur, carbon-dioxide, water, sunlight and chlorophyll are the required raw materials. Sunlight provides energy, chlorophyll is used to absorb the sunlight, carbon-dioxide is reduced to carb...
