Q:

Is a mushroom an autotroph?

A) TRUE B) FALSE
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) FALSE

Explanation:

Mushrooms are heterotrophs. They are not plants or autotrophs.


 


Every living thing that exists need energy in order to live. This energy ultimately comes from the sun, and only plants, or autotrophs, can directly use this energy to make food. Those organisms that cannot harness the sun's energy are known as heterotrophs.


 


Mushrooms belong to kingdom Fungi and are heterotrophs because they decompose and consume nutrients from the soil. They are not green so they cannot photosynthesize



For this reason, mushrooms and all other fungi are heterotrophs.

Q:

The day before yesterday, I was 25 years old, and next year I will turn 28. How is it possible?

Answer

On carefully inspecting this question, one can understand that there are two days which are important and these are:


A. My Birthday.


B. The day when I am making this statement.


If you think for a while, you will understand that such statements can be made only around the year’s end. So, if my birthday is on 31 December, then I will be making this statement on 1 January.


I will further explain using the following example:


1. Consider that today is 01 January 2017.


2. Then, the day before yesterday was 30 December 2016 and according to the question I was 25 then.


3. Yesterday was 31 December 2016, which happens to be my birthday too (Woohoo!), and my age increases by one to become 26.


4. I will turn 27 on my birthday this year (31 December 2017).


5. I will turn 28 on my birthday next year (31 December 2018).


Now, if you read the question again, it will make more sense:


 


The day before yesterday(30 December 2016), I was 25 years old and next year(31 December 2018) I will be 28.

A) 1080 B) 1090

127x216=1270 

 

x=2160
