Multiple choice evs sun and planets phases of moon moon and it's phases moon

Fill in the blanks:

The period between two consecutive new moon days is _______ and is called a _______.

  1. $31$ days, month
  2. $7$ days, week

D Correct answer
Explanation

The time taken for one revolution of moon is a few hours longer than 29 days. But for ease of calculation, these hours have been divided amongst the months to give us months having 30 and 31 days. It takes one complete revolution of the moon around the Earth to have the next new moon day after the previous one. This period is called a month.

Multiple choice chemistry substances in the surroundings - their states and properties elastic behaviour of solids elastic and plastic substances properties of substances

In a technical sense a substance with a ________ elasticity is one that requires a ______  force to produce a distortion-for example, a steel sphere. 

  1. high, small

  2. high, large

  3. low, large

  4. low , small
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

According to Hooke's law, within elastic limit,

    $E=\dfrac{stress}{strain}$$=\dfrac{deforming\ force}{(area\times strain)}$ 
It means higher the elasticity, larger will be the required deforming force.
Hence, in a technical sense a substance with a high elasticity is one that requires a high force to produce a distortion.

  3. (1)-inspiration, (2)-forced expiration, (3)-higher, (4)-higher

  4. (1)-expiration, (2)-forced expiration, (5)-higher, (6)-lower
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

  (i) Diaphragm contracts to help in (1) inspiration while the contraction of abdominal muscles helps in (2) forced expiration.

(ii) Vital capacity of trained athletes is (3) higher than that of non-athletes while the vital capacity of non-smokers is (4) higher than that of smokers.

(iii) Alveolar PO2 is (5) higher than the venous PO2 while arterial PO2 is (6) lower than the alveolar PO2.

So, the correct answer is '(1)-inspiration, (2)-forced expiration, (3)-higher, (4)-higher'.


Multiple choice evs respiration in living organisms respiration in human beings respiration and associated structures respiration in humans mechanism of respiration in animals human lungs respiratory organs in humans

Complete the following sentence by selecting the correct option.
The breathing rhythm is generated in the (i) and is influenced by variation in levels of (ii)_ in the blood.

  1. (i)medulla (ii)$CO _{2}$
  2. (i)medulla (ii)$O _{2}$
  3. (i)frontal lobe (ii)$CO _{2}$ and $O _{2}$
  4. (i)frontal lobe (ii)$CO _{2}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
The basic rhythm of respiration is generated mainly in the dorsal respiratory group in the medulla. Changes in blood carbon dioxide are believed to stimulate the neurons in the chemosensitive area which affect the rhythm centre. $CO _{2}$ acts by forming carbonic acid which dissociates into H+and $HCO _{3}^{-}$. H+ has a direct effect on this. Oxygen does not have a significant direct effect on rhythm centre.
So the correct answer is 'A'.

Multiple choice bio-chemistry coordination in life processes role of intestine digestion in intestine mechanism of digestion digestive system - organs

Which of the options given below would not correctly fill the blanks in the following sentence?


In order to absorb and use ____ by the body, these must be broken down by hydrolysis into ___.

  • Hence In order to absorb and use Proteins by the body, these must be broken down by hydrolysis into proteins.
  • So, the correct answer is 'amino acids, proteins'.

  1. be a page long

  2. arranged in 5 paragraphs

  3. at least 2 paragraphs long

  4. include sufficient detail
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
