Insectivorous plants that mostly grow on swampy soil use insects as a source of
Verify mobile number to view the solution
Insectivorous plants feed on insects as their main source of food, eg, pitcher plant. Consumption of insects is due to majorly for nitrogen. Other nutritional benefits may also be acquired.
Which of the following propagates through leaf-tip?
Adiantum also called walking fern propagates through leaf tips, the tips of the leaves, on coming in contact with the soil, give out adventitious roots which, in turn, produce new leaves and develop into new plants.
In Arthropoda, head and thorax are often fused to form cephalothorax, but in which one of the following classes, is the body divided into head, thorax arid abdomen?
Body of arthropods consists of head, thorax and abdomen, head and thorax may be fused to form cephalothorax in some, class Insecta have body which is divided into head, thorax and abdomen.
Which one of the following is the smallest in size?
The virus particles are only 400nm (0.4 micrometres) in size. The mitochondria are 10 micrometres in size. Bacteria size varies from 0.5 – 5 micrometres in length. Mammalian cells have a wide variety of sizes and are the largest among all.
If birds are moved from 30°C to 10°C, their body temperature
Birds are warm-blooded animals. So they have higher metabolic rates to keep themselves warm and high temperature is maintained. This helps warm blooded animals to keep their body temperatures relatively constant. Thus when a bird is moved from 30 degrees to 10 degrees the temperature of the body remains relatively constant.
Fission yeasts are
Fission yeasts are mainly Schizosaccharomyces octospores. Common method of reproduction is binary fission. Life cycle is haplontic type and ascus have 8 ascospores. Yeast belongs to class fungi which is eukaryotic.
Match the different types of heart given in column A with organism given in the column B. Choose the correct combination. ,
Column A , P. Neurogenic heart , Q. Bronchial heart , R. Pulmonary heart , Column B , (i) Human , (ii) King crab , (iii) Shark
– Neurogenic Heart → King crab [Arthropod]
– Bronchial Heart → Shark [Single circulation]
– Pulmonary Heart → Human
From an early amphibian embryo the cells that would give rise to skin in adults were transplanted into the developing brain region of another embryo. The transplanted cells developed into brain tissue in the recipient embryo. What do you infer from this experiment?
Early embryonic cells have yet not committed and differentiated.
In case of vertebrates the ovum is indeterminative. The fate of blastomere is not predetermined but it is determinate at the time of gastrulation.
The peptidoglycans of bacteria consist of
Peptidoglycan or murin is a complex structure which consists of alternate units of NAM and NAG and these units remain cross-linked with short peptide chains of amino acids. Amino acids like alanine, glutamine and lysine are found in cell wall of gram-positive bacteria but in gram-negative bacteria amino acid diaminopimelic acid is found in place of lysine.
The pH of the avian blood is maintained by
pH of Blood of bird is maintain by HCO3—. Birds are warm blooded. Blood of birds is slightly alkaline in nature as its pH ranges from 7.5-7.6. blood bicarbonate values are between 16 and 32 mmol/L. In addition, pumping blood has a carbon dioxide partial pressure of about 28 mmHg, which is lower than that of placental mammals.
The energy stored in four capacitors, each of capacitance 'C', placed in parallel configuration and connected to a 'V' volt source is
As the capacitance of all the capacitors is equal(C) so, total capacitance in parallel, C' = nC
(n = number of capacitors in parallel)
So, C' = 4C
Total energy stored = 1/2 C' V2
= 1/2 (4CV2)
= 2CV2
When ∆H and T∆S both are negative, then for spontaneous process which of the following conditions is true?
∆G = ∆H - T∆S
For the spontaneous process ∆G<0
According to the question, ∆H and T∆S both are negative. Therefore, to make the process spontaneous ∆H must be of greater magnitude than T∆S.
Which of the following metals is extracted by using electrolytic reduction?
Magnesium is the highly reactive element and is extracted by using electrolytic reduction. This is because magnesium being a reactive electropositive element is a very strong reducing agent due to which it cannot be extracted by using any chemical method.
The number of moles of carbon dioxide which contain 21.5 g of oxygen?
1 mole of CO2 contains 1 mole of O2 i.e. 32 g of oxygen. So, number of moles of CO2 that contains 21.5 g of oxygen is= 21.5/32 = 2/3 mol
