General Knowledge Questions

Breeding and management of bees is called Apiculture.

A beekeeper or apiarist keeps bees in order to collect their honey and other products that the hive produces (including beeswax, propolis, flower pollen, bee pollen, and royal jelly), to pollinate crops, or to produce bees for sale to other beekeepers.

A location where bees are kept is called an 'apiary' or 'bee yard.'

We know that, there are four types of tissue in human body. They are 

1.Muscular
2.Connective
3.Epithelial
4.Nervous

Among these Connective Tissue are most abundant in our body. 

CONNECTIVE TISSUE

Connective tissue is found in between other tissues everywhere in the body, including the nervous system. It develops from the mesoderm.

Functions:

1) Wraps around and cushions and protects organs
2) Stores nutrients
3) Internal support for organs
4) As tendon and ligaments protects joints and attached muscles to bone and each other
5) Runs through organ capsules and in deep layers of skin giving strength

The 3 Elements of Connective Tissue are

1) Ground substance – gel around cells and fibers
2) Fibers – provide strength, elasticity and support
3) Cells

Graphite is a covalent-network type of crystalline solid.

There are two main categories of solids.

1. Crystalline solids and

2. Amorphous solids.

Crystalline solids are those in which the atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid exist in a regular, well-defined arrangement.

There are four types of crystalline solids :

Ionic solids :— Made up of positive and negative ions and held together by electrostatic attractions. They’re characterized by very high melting points and brittleness and are poor conductors in the solid state. An example of an ionic solid is table salt, NaCl.

Molecular solids :— Made up of atoms or molecules held together by London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, or hydrogen bonds. Characterized by low melting points and flexibility and are poor conductors. An example of a molecular solid is sucrose.

Covalent-network (also called atomic) solids :— Made up of atoms connected by covalent bonds; the intermolecular forces are covalent bonds as well. Characterized as being very hard with very high melting points and being poor conductors. Examples of this type of solid are diamond and graphite, and the fullerenes. As you can see below, graphite has only 2-D hexagonal structure and therefore is not hard like diamond. The sheets of graphite are held together by only weak London forces!

Metallic solids :— Made up of metal atoms that are held together by metallic bonds. Characterized by high melting points, can range from soft and malleable to very hard, and are good conductors of electricity.

RADAR stands for Radio Detection and Ranging.

Radar is a detecting system that uses radio waves to determine the range, angle, or velocity of objects. It operates in the ultra-high-frequency of the radio-frequency (RF) spectrum.

Uses ::

To detect

aircraft,

ships,

spacecraft,

guided missiles,

motor vehicles,

weather formations, and

terrain.

Potassium reacts violently with water liberating hydrogen. The reaction is so violent that the liberated hydrogen catches fire.
