Perspiration cools the body by

  1. Advective heat transfer

  2. Radiative heat transfer

  3. Conductive heat transfet

  4. Latent heat transfer
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Perspiration cools the body because the phase change of water from liquid to vapor requires energy, which is absorbed from the skin as latent heat.

In the mountains, there is lot of moisture and water and still the plants are xerophytes, because

  1. Water turns into snow on mountains

  2. Water runs away due to the presence of slopes and can not be used by plant (physiological dryness)

  3. Rocks of mountains cannot absorb water

  4. None of them is correct
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

(b) Steep slopes cause fast, running of water which result in erosion and do not Permit the accumulation of hymns so the soil cordless denjuded` In sulked soil plants cannot grow properly and vegetation changes into xerophytic plants. In valleys humus accumulates, so they have luxuriant vegetation and slopes contain xerophytic Plants.

To some extent viability of pollen grains depends on prevailing temperature and humidity.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
  • The period for which pollen grains remain viable is highly variable and to some extent depends on the prevailing temperature and humidity. 
  • The pistil is developed and ovules reach maturity before the pollen grains are ripe. Hybrid seed production as soon as tomato hybrid cultivars gained popularity, ordinary conditions of storage pollen viability can hardly be retained.
