During heat shock to the bacterium , the temperature used for giving thermal shock is:

  1. $82^oC$
  2. $109^oC$

  3. Liquid nitrogen
  4. $42^oC$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Heat Shock is given to bacteria for transformation that alters the membrane fluidity. The increase in temperature creates pores in the bacterial plasma membrane and allow plasmid DNA to enter the bacterial DNA. For the heat shock, the DNA-bacteria mixture is put into a 42C to 37C water bath.

The water temperature should preferably be less than _________degree Celsius for aquatic life.

    1. 10

    2. 15

    3. 20

    4. 25
    Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
    D Correct answer
    Explanation

    Temperature is an important factor to consider when assessing water quality. Water temperature can affect the metabolic rates and biological activity of aquatic organisms. Water temperature should be between 22-25 degree celsius.  But the water temperature should preferably be less than 25 degree celsius because in this temperature aquatic life flourish.

    Explanation

    West European type Regions include Western Europe from Northern Norway to the British Isles, North-West United States, and Southern Chile in South America and Tasmania Island of New Zealand in Australia. Westerly winds influence this region throughout the year. They experience high annual rainfall throughout the year. But maximum rainfall is experienced in winter. Winters are warmer. The summer temperature hardly exceeds 16 $^oC$.

    A Correct answer
    Explanation
    • Based on the given data, January has maximum temperature of $26^0$.
    • Hence, it is the hottest month.
    • July has the minimum temperature of $11^0$. So, it is the coldest month.

    Diurnal range of temperature is ___________________.

    1. difference between maximum and minimum temperature of different days.

    2. difference between maximum and minimum temperature of same days.

    3. Both a and b

    4. None of these
    Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
    B Correct answer
    Explanation

    Diurnal range of temperature is the difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures of the same days. Cloud cover, urban heat, land-use change, aerosols, water vapor, and greenhouse gases are caused due to changes in the diurnal range of temperature. As the distance from the sea increases diurnal range of temperature also increases. In dry tropical climates and on high mountain plateaus where solar radiation is maximum, diurnal range of temperature increases.

    Degree Celsius was invented by Anders Celsius and is the standard unit to measure _____________.

    1. temperature.

    2. volume.

    3. height.

    4. none of these.
    Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
    A Correct answer
    Explanation

    Degree Celsius is the standard unit to measure temperature. It was developed by Swedish astronomer Andres Celsius in 1742. In degree Celsius, zero degrees represents the freezing point of water and 100 degrees represents water’s boiling point at the standard atmosphere. The standard atmosphere is the mean barometric pressure at the mean sea level.

    The maximum and minimum temperature of a day is $48^oC$ and  $32^oC$. Calculate the mean daily temperature.

    1. $39^oC$
    2. $40^oC$
    3. $41^oC$
    4. $42^oC$
    Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
    B Correct answer
    Explanation

    Mean daily temperature is the average temperature in each period of 24 hours. It is measured at 1.5 meters above ground level. Mean daily temperature can be determined by finding out the mean of maximum and minimum temperature of a day.

    Mean daily temperature = $\dfrac{48+32}{2}$
    Mean daily temperature = 40 $^oC$
    So, the mean daily temperature is 40 $^oC$.

    Mean annual range of temperature is ________________.

    1. difference between maximum and minimum daily temperature

    2. difference between maximum and minimum average daily temperature

    3. difference between maximum and minimum mean monthly temperatures recorded in a year

    4. difference between maximum and minimum temperatures in a month
    Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
    C Correct answer
    Explanation

    The mean annual range is an indicator of the variation among the monthly temperature in a year. It is calculated by taking the difference between the highest and lowest mean monthly temperature recorded in a year.

    Mean monthly temperature is __________________.

    1. $\Sigma{\text{(Daily temperature)}}$
    2. $\dfrac{\Sigma{(Daily\ Temperature)}}{30}$
    3. $\Sigma{(\text{Daily temperature})\times {12}}$

    4. none of the above
    Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
    B Correct answer
    Explanation

    Mean monthly temperature is the average temperature of a month. It is recorded from well exposed thermometer. For calculating mean monthly temperature, sum of daily temperature of a month is divided by total number of days in a month.
    Mean monthly temperature= $\dfrac{\sum (daily \; temperature)}{Number \; of \; days \; in \; month}$
