Select the correct sequence of the process of paper recycling.

  1. Collection, sorting, pulping, deinking

  2. Collection, pulping, sorting, deinking

  3. Collection, deinking, sorting, pulping

  4. Deinking, sorting, pulping


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Paper, torn clothes and metallic and plastic discards are recyclable wastes. Recycling is processing used materials (waste) into new, useful products. This is done to reduce the use of raw materials that would have been used. Paper recycling is a process wherein, a paper that is used, discarded by the consumer, is collected and transported to paper mills. Here, it is sorted and is mixed with water and chemicals and converted into paper pulp. Deinking is carried out to remove printing ink from the paper fibers from the pulp and transformed into reusable form.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Which of the following human activity can maintain the biological equilibrium?

  1. Poaching endangered animals

  2. Recycling of paper

  3. Deforestation

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Recycling is the process by which the product is recycled and made available to use again. The recycling of paper not only saves valuable space in our landfills, but it also helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and when one recycle, one also have to use fewer resources like water and energy to turn that item into another usable item. If the paper is recycled, fewer trees will be cut down for paper pulp. This will help to maintain the biological equilibrium in the ecosystem.

Thus, the correct answer is option B. 

Carbon chloride is used in

  1. Bleaching of new paper

  2. Bleaching of recycled paper

  3. Bleaching of clothes

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B

The process of conversion of paper material into the slurry substance is called as

  1. Sorting

  2. Shredding

  3. Pulping

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The process of waste paper recycling involves mixing of used paper with water and chemicals to break it down. It is then chopped up and heated, which breaks down the paper further into strands of cellulose, a type of organic plant material. This resulting mixture is called as pulp or slurry. This process is called as pulping. 

Thus, the correct answer is option C.  

Recycling 1 ton of paper saves

  1. 7000 gallons of water

  2. 17 trees

  3. Both A and B

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

During the production of paper from the wood pulp, about 7000 gallons of water is used. If the paper is recycled, then this large amount of water can be saved. Studies have proven that one ton of paper is equivalent to seventeen fully grown trees. The paper is made from wood pulp. The trees are cut down for making paper. By saving and recycling of the paper, we can help to prevent deforestation. 

Thus, the correct answer is option C. 

The common bleaching agent of recycled paper is

  1. Hydrogen peroxide

  2. Sodium hydrosulfite

  3. Chlorine

  4. Both A and B


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Paper recycling is a process wherein, the paper that is used, discarded by the consumer, is collected and transported to paper mills. The papers are mixed with water and chemicals, broken down, converted into paper pulp and transformed into reusable form. The pulp which is obtained is colored and bleaching is performed to remove the color. The chemicals which are used for bleaching are hydrogen peroxide, sodium hydrosulfite or sodium dithionite. These chemicals helps in deinking of the pulp and increasing brightness. 
Thus, the correct answer is option D.

During paper recycling, .......... is used to bleach pulp.

  1. Bleaching powder

  2. Hydrogen peroxide

  3. Water

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Paper recycling is a process wherein, the paper that is used, discarded by the consumer, is collected and transported to paper mills. The papers are mixed with water and chemicals, broken down, converted into paper pulp and transformed into reusable form. The pulp is colored and bleaching is performed to remove the color. The chemicals which are used for bleaching are hydrogen peroxide, sodium hydrosulfite or sodium dithionite. These chemicals help in deinking of the pulp and increasing brightness. 

Thus, the correct answer is option B. 

Upon stimulation of skeletal muscles, calcium is immediately made available for binding to troponin from :

  1. Blood

  2. Lymph

  3. Sacroplasmic reticulum

  4. Bone


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Answer is option C i.e. "Sacroplasmic reticulum"
Neurotransmitter acetylcholine generates an action potential in the sarcolemma causing the release of calcium ions into the sarcoplasm from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
When Ca++ level increases it leads to the binding of calcium with a sub-unit of troponin on actin(thin) filaments and thereby activating the movement.

An iron-containing protein myoglobin is present in the

  1. Spleen

  2. Lungs

  3. Muscles

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Myoglobin is the iron and oxygen-binding protein that is found in the muscle tissue of the vertebrates and in almost all mammals. This contains heme, the pigment responsible for the red color of meat.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

What would be the result of an allele that codes for all actin molecules to be synthesized in linear chains?

  1. Immovable muscles

  2. Smooth muscle tissue

  3. Normal sarcomere structure

  4. Degeneration of muscle tissue

  5. Muscle tendons that cannot attach


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Sarcomere is the structural and functional unit of a myofibril and consists of thick myosin filaments and thin actin filaments. If the allele for actin filament continues to synthesize linear chains of the protein, sarcomere structure would be same as normal. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
