Question

Give a scientific term for each of the following.
(i) A single isolated contraction of muscle fibre.
(ii) Inhibition of the growth of the lateral bud by terminal bud.
(iii) Specialised structure through which guttation occurs.
(iv) Development of embryo from the egg without the process of fertilization.
(v) Process of splitting of water molecules during photosynthesis.
(vi) Passing out of urine.

Answer 1

$\left(i\right)$ The scientific term for a single isolated contraction of muscle fibre is called a single muscle twitch.

$\left(ii\right)$ The scientific term for the inhibition of lateral bud growth by terminal bud is called apical dominance.

$\left(iii\right)$ The scientific term for the specialised structure through which guttation occurs is called hydathode.

$\left(iv\right)$ The scientific term for the development of embryo from the egg without the process of fertilization is called parthenogenesis.

$\left(v\right)$ The scientific term for the process of splitting of water molecules without the process of fertilization is called photolysis of water.

$\left(vi\right)$ The scientific term for the passing out of urine is called micturition.
