The process of exudation of sap on the tips or edges of leaves in plant is called guttation. It takes place only under certain conditions like cold and high relative humidity in the atmosphere. It occurs through the specialized structures called hydathodes. They are generally restricted to the apex or the edges of the margins of leaves. Structurally, hydathodes consist of a simple pore in the epidermal layer found at the tip.

HUMEAN HEALT AND DISEASE cancer and a large number of them die from it annually. The mechanisms that underlie development of cancer or oncogenic transformation of cells. its treatment and control have been some of the most intense areas of research in biology and medfcine. In our body, cell growth and differentiation is highly controlled and regulated. In cancer cells, there is breakdown of these regulatory mechanisms. Normal cells show a property called contact inhibition by virtue of which contact with other cells inhibits their uncontrolled growth. Cancer cells appears to have lost this property. As a result of this, cancerous cells just continue to divide giving rise to masses of cells called tumors. Tumors are of two types; benign and malignant. Benign tumors normally remain confined to their original location and do not spread to other parts of the body and cause little damage. The malignant tumors, on the other hand are a mass of proliferating cells called neoplastic or tumor cells. These cells grow very rapidly, invading and damaging the surrounding normal tissues. As these cells actively divide and grow they also starve the sgpmal cells by competing for vital nutrients. Cells sloughed from suliा tumors reach distant sites through blood, and wherever they get lodged in the body, they start a new tumor there. This property called metastasis is the most feared property of malignant tumors. Causes of cancer : Transformation of normal cells into cancerous neoplastic cells may be induced by physical, chemical or biological agents. These agents are called carcinogens. Ionising radiations like X-rays and gamma rays and non-ionizing radiations like UV cause DNA damage leading to neoplastic transformation. The chemical carcinogens present in tobacco smoke have been identified as a major cause of lung cancer. Cancer causing viruses called oncogenic viruses have genes called viral oncogenes. Furthermore, several genes called cellular oncogenes (c-onc) or proto oncogenes have been identified in normal cells which, when activated under certain conditions, could lead to oncogenic transformation of the cells. Cancer detection and diagnosis : Early detection of cancers is essential as it allows the disease to be treated successfully in many cases. Cancer detection is based on biopsy and histopathological studies of the tissue and blood and bone marrow tests for increased cell counts in the case of leukemias. In biopsy, a piece of the suspected tissue cut into thin sections is stained and examined under microscope (histopathological studies) by a pathologist. Techniques like radiography (use of X-rays). CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) are very useful to detect cancers of the internal organs. Computed tomography uses X-rays to generate a three-dimensional image of the internals of an object. MRI uses strong magnetic fields and non-ionising radiations to accurately detect pathological and physiological changes in the living tissue. Antibodies against cancer-specific antigens are also used for detection of certain cancers. Techniques of molecular biology can be

6. Lysosomes: Lysosomes can be considered as dismantling and restructuring units of a cell. These are membrane bound vesicles containing hydrolytic enzymes. The enzymes in lysosomes are used by most eukaryotic cells to digest (hydrolyse) macromolecules. The lysosomal enzymes show optimal activity in acidic . Lysosomes arise from Golgi associated endoplasmic reticulum. The list of lysosomal enzymes includes all types of hydrolases viz, amylases, proteases and lipases. These enzymes are in inactive state and are activated only when a lysosome comes in contact with another particular organelle to form a hybrid structure. After the action of enzymes is over, the lysosome is reformed and re-used. Lysosomes are thus found in various structural forms and carry out various functions for the cell.
