Reproduction in Animals NCERT Science Class 8 Chapter 9 Summary Note


Reproduction in Animals
·         
     Reproduction (Re+Production)
Production of living being of own kind, is called reproduction.
·        
     Importance of reproduction
Reproduction ensures continuation of similar kinds of individuals, generation after generation.
·        
     Modes of reproduction
(a) Asexual  reproduction
(b) Sexual reproduction
·     
         Sexual reproductio
      Mode of reproduction where
              -Two parents are involved.
              -Formation of gametes takes place.
             -Fusion of male and female gamete takes place,
       Is called sexual reproduction.
·        
       Asexual reproduction
 Mode of reproduction where
              -Single parent is involved.
              -Formation of gametes do not takes place.
              -Fusion of male and female gamete do not takes place,
          Is called asexual reproduction.
·       
            Male reproductive organs-
It consists of – a pair of testes
                          Two sperm ducts
                         A penis
·      
            Testes produces millions of sperms.
·     
             Sperm- Male gamete
            -Very small in size.
            -Each sperm is a single cell.
          - Each has a head, a middle piece and a tail.
·      
              Female reproductive organs
             It consists of – a pair of ovaries
                                    -A pair of oviducts/fallopian tubes
                                    - a uterus
·         
          Ovary produces single mature egg every months.
·         
          Egg/ova- Female gamete
                  -Each egg is a single cell.
·     
               Uterus-
    Part where development of baby takes place, is called uterus.
·       
               Fertilisation
   The process of fusion of male and female gamete to form zygote is called fertilization.
    Sperm(male gamete) + Egg(female gamete) --à Zygote
    it takes place in oviduct.
·       
                Zygote is the beginning of new individual.
·        
          Types of fertilization
    (a) External fertilization
    (b) Internal fertilization
·        
           External fertilization
     Fusion of male and female gametes takes place outside female body.
      More number of eggs are produced.
      It takes place in aquatic animals.
     Zygote survival chance – less.
·       
                Internal fertilization
    Fusion of male and female gametes take place inside female body.
    Only one egg per month is produced.
   It takes place in terrestrial animals.
    Zygote survival chance – more.
·         
         Zygote -à Embryo à Foetus à Baby.
·     
               Embryo- Zygote developes into embryo.
·   
               Foetus – Stage of the embryo in which all the body parts can be identified.
·        
        Viviparous-
   The animals which give birth to young ones are called viviparous.
    Example- Human.
·     
               Oviparous
   The animals which lay eggs are called oviparous.
    Example- Hen.
·       
                Metamorphosis
   The transformation of the larva into adult through drastic changes, is called metamorphosis.
    Larva ----à Adult (Metamorphosis)
·         
          Asexual reproduction
    (a)Budding
    (b)Binary fission
·    
                Budding- Development of new individuals from bud or bulge.
·        
         Binary fission – An animal reproduces by dividing into two individuals.
·      
                 Dolly- First cloned mammal.

Friction NCERT Science Class 8 Chapter 12 Summary Note

Friction The force that opposes the relative motion between two surfaces in contact, is called friction.  Factors affecting friction Weight of object  Nature of surfaces in contact More the weight of object, more the friction.  More smooth surface experience less friction.  Importance of friction Friction helps in stopping object Friction helps to write, walk,  Friction helps in all activities Friction produces heat.  Harm cause by Friction Sole of shoes wear out.  Machine parts get wear out.  Friction can be increased by making surfaces rough. ( More rough means more interlocking between surfaces which means more friction )  Friction can be decreased by applying lubricant on surfaces.  Friction can be decresed by changing shape of object.  Rolling friction The force that oppose motion of rolling object, is rolling friction.  Sliding friction The force that oppose moti...

Stars and the Solar System NCERT Science Class 8 Chapter 17 Summary Note

Stars and Solar System Celestial objects The stars, the planets, the moons and many other objects in the sky are called celestial objects.  Full Moon Day  The day on which the whole disc of the moon is visible is known as full moon day.  New Moon Day On the fifteenth day after full moon day, the moon is not visible. This day is known as new moon day.  Crescent Moon  The moon whose only a small portion appears in the sky, is called crescent moon.  Phases of Moon  The various shapes of the bright part of the moon as seen during a month are called phases of moon.  The moon doesn't produce its own light.  We see the moon because, the sunlight falling on it gets reflected towards us.  The moon rotates on its axis.  The moon revolve around the Earth.  The moon has no atmosphere, no water,  Star The sun is also a star.  Sun appears larger than other stars. Because- -Stars are millions of times farther away than the sun....
