A) Crocodile and Ostrich B) Hagfish and Dogfish
C) Tortoise and Ostrich D) Peacock and Camel
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Peacock and Camel

Explanation:

Warm-blooded creatures, like mammals and birds, try to keep the inside of their bodies at a constant temperature.

A) Tracheid B) Pericycle
C) Intercalary meristem D) Lateral meristem
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Lateral meristem

Explanation:

In vascular plants, the lateral meristem is one of two meristems in which growth occurs in order to increase stem girth. A meristem is the region of plant tissue found on the tips of roots and shoots. It is where cell division occurs to produce new growth.

Q:

Which one of the following cell organelles mainly functions as storehouse of digestive enzymes?

A) Desmosome B) Ribosome
C) Lysosome D) Vacuoles
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Lysosome

Explanation:

Lysosome is found in nearly all types of eukaryotic cells (cells with a clearly defined nucleus) and is responsible for the digestion of macromolecules, old cell parts, and microorganisms. Each lysosome is surrounded by a membrane that maintains an acidic environment within the interior via a proton pump. Lysosomes contain a wide variety of hydrolytic enzymes (acid hydrolases) that break down macromolecules such as nucleic acids, proteins, and polysaccharides. So, they are known as storehouse of digestive enzymes.

Q:

An electron and a proton starting from rest get accelerated through potential difference of 100kV. The final speeds of the electron and the proton are Ve and Vp respectively. Which of the following relations is correct?

A) Ve > Vp B) Ve < Vp
C) Ve = Vp D) Cannot be determined
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Ve > Vp

Explanation:

Both when accelerated through a potential difference of 100KV, they will have the same energy. The mass of the electron is less than the mass of a proton, hence it will move faster(momentum).
