The part of the stem between two nodes is called:
The part of the stem between two nodes is called the internode.
A node is a point on the stem from which leaves or buds arise. Node and internode are two structural parts found in the stem. Nodes bear axillary buds, which can either develop into branches, flowers, or cones while an internode is responsible for the elongation of the stem.
In bryophytes:
In bryophytes, the sporophyte is parasitic (partially or wholly) on the gametophyte as it is organically attached and is nutritionally dependent upon the gametophyte.
In bryophytes, the main plant body is gametophytic which is independent and may be thallose (no differentiation in root, stem and leaves) e.g. Riccia, Marchantia, Anthoceros, etc. or foliose (having leafy axis) e.g. Sphagnum, Funaria, etc. The gametophyte bears the sex organs antheridium and archegonium. Sexual reproduction is of oogamous type. It forms a zygote that gives rise to the sporophytic phase. It is differentiated into foot, seta and capsule. The capsule produces spores after meiosis that again gives rise to the gametophytic phase. The sporophyte is partially or full dependent upon the gametophyte and is of shorter duration.
Which of the following biomolecules can be analysed by ELISA test?
Biomolecules including peptides, hormones and antibodies can be analysed by ELISA test. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), also known as an enzyme immunoassay (EIA), is a biochemical technique used mainly in immunology for detecting and quantifying substances such as peptides, proteins, antibodies and hormones. They are termed as an analyte.
According to IUCN Red List, what is the status of Red Panda (Ailurus fulgens)?
According to IUCN Red list, the status of Red panda (Ailurus fulgens) is endangered species. Endangered species are those species that are facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future. This category is used when the species suffered a population reduction of 80% or more.
Vulnerable species have sufficient population at present but are depleting fast. e.g., Golden langur, leopard cat. Extinct species no longer exist, e.g., Dodo. Critically endangered species are threatened to a greater extent.
During Aerobic Respiration, ATP synthesis occurs in which cell organelle?
During Aerobic Respiration, ATP synthesis occurs in mitochondria.
The breaking of the C-C bonds of complex compounds through oxidation within the cells, leading to the release of a considerable amount of energy is calledrespiration.The compounds that are oxidized during this process are known asrespiratory substrates.Along with theenergycarbon dioxideandmetabolic water is also released as a by-product in respiration.
C6H12O6+6O2→6CO2+6H2O+Energy
Respiration is of two types:
Steps of Aerobic respiration:
During the ETS ATP is synthesizedin the inner mitochondrial membrane by the action of the enzyme ''ATP synthase''
So, it is clear that ATP synthesis occurs in mitochondria.For this reason, only mitochondria are also called thepowerhouse of the cell.
Which of the following does not belong to the phylum Coelenterata?
Sea cucumberdoes not belong to the phylum Coelenterata.
Sea pens, sea feathers and sea fans all are Coelenterates. Sea cucumbers are echinoderms from the class Holothuroidea. They are marine animals with leathery skin and an elongated body containing a single, branched gonad. Sea cucumbers are found on the seafloor worldwide.
Cyclosporin A, used as immunosuppressive agent is obtained from:
Cyclosporin A, used as an immunosuppressive agent is obtained fromTrichoderma polysporum.
Cyclosporin A is one of the mostly used drugs that are easily produced from a biological organism such as fungi. Cyclosporin A is produced by fermentation of aerobic fungi called as Trichoderma polysporum.

The stage of development at which implantation occurs in human female is:
In humans, implantation occurs during the mid-secretory phase, between cycle days (CD) 20 and 24, or 6–10 days after ovulation (Blesa et al. 2014; Donaghay and Lessey 2007; Psychoyos 1973), which is a temporally framed period called the window of implantation (WOI). At this stage of prenatal development, the concept is called a blastocyst.
