114) Water is very important chemical, required as solvent, in many biological processes.
It is needed as raw material in photosynthesis, as a main substance from which plants
evolve oxygen and provide hydrogen for the synthesis of carbohydrates. It helps in
translocation of chemical substances and minerals and in this manner maintains
internal transportation. Osmosis is a special type of transport of water molecules that
occurs through semipermeable membrane. Osmosis is movement of solvent from the
region of higher diffusion pressure to the lower diffusion pressure across a
semipermeable membrane. It is of two types - endosmosis and exosmosis. Endosmosis is
the osmotic entry of water into a cell, organ or system. Exosmosis is the osmotic
withdrawal of water from a cell, organ or system.

116) Our body needs to remove the wastes that build up from cell activities and from
digestion. It these wastes are not removed, then our cells can stop working and we can
get very sick. The organs of our excretory system help to release wastes from our body.
The excretory system consists of a pair of kidney, a pair of ureters, a urinary bladder and
a urethra. Each kidney is made up of nearly one million complex tubular structures
called nephrons. The formation of urine involves various processes that takes place in
the different parts of the nephron. Each nephron consists of a cup-shaped upper end
called Bowman's capsule containing a bunch of capillaries called glomerulus. Bowman's
capsule leads to tubular structure-proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle and distal
convoluted tubule which ultimately joins the collecting tubule.

121) We need energy to perform various activities. This energy is derived from the
catabolism of various components of food, e.g., proteins, carbohydrates, fats, etc. Oxygen
is required for catabolic processes and carbon dioxide is released in the process. So, the
body requires a continuous exchange of gases, oxygen from the atmosphere is taken
inside and carbon dioxide produced is given out. In human beings, respiratory pigment
called haemoglobin present in RBCs has very high affinity for oxygen. In tissues,
exchange of gases occurs between oxygenated blood and tissue cells.
