Primary productivity refers to plants that make their own food using sunlight, water and availability of nutrients. Hence, they are not limited by time.

Yes, a square is a rhombus. But a rhombus is not a square unless the interior angles are at right angles.

We know that, a square is a quadrilateral with all sides equal and all the interior angles are 90 deg i.e, at right angles. 

Whereas

a rhombus is also a quadrilateral with all sides equal but the interior angles are not at right angles. Hence, if the interior angles of a rhombus are all at right angles (90 deg), then it is square.

IC's (Integrated Circuits) also called as Chips or Microchips whose invention allowed computers to be smaller and smaller.

Fermentation is the chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat.

The two most common types of fermentation are

(1) alcoholic fermentation (and) 

(2) lactic acid fermentation.

(1) Alcoholic fermentation : the type of fermentation in which ethyl alcohol is the main end product .This is very common in yeast (unicellular fungus) and also seen in some bacteria. Yeast cells release enzymes called zymase complex which bring about the fermentation. The reactions are similar to anaerobic respiration.

(2) Lactic acid fermentation : The type of fermentation in which lactic acid is the end product.

It is carried out by some bacteria (e.g. lactic acid bacteria), and also by animals (muscle glycolysis in animals, under oxygen deficiency, results in the formation of lactic acid this is whay we experience in muscle cramps, or "Charley horse").

1. A fixed budget is established for a specific level of activity whereas flexible budget is prepared for various levels of activity.

2. Fixed budget cannot be changed after the period commences, whereas a flexible budget can be changed after the period commence.

3. Fixed budget is more suitable for fixed expenses whereas flexible budget takes both fixed as well as variable expenses in account.

4. Fixed budget includes only fixed costs, whereas a flexible budget includes fixed costs, variable costs and semi variable costs.

5. Fixed budget is mainly used in planning stage whereas flexible budget is used in controlling stage.
