1. In stratosphere, temperature increases with altitude.

2. In mesosphere, temperature decreases with altitude.

3. The lowest temperature of the atmosphere is recorded in the upper part of mesosphere.

4. Tropopause is an isothermal zone.

Select the correct answer using the code given below.

A) 1 and 2 only B) 1, 2 and 3 only
C) 3 and 4 only D) 1, 2, 3 and 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1, 2, 3 and 4

Explanation:

In troposphere and mesosphere, temperature declines with increasing altitude. In stratosphere and thermosphere, temperature increases with increasing altitude.The coldest temperatures in Earth’s atmosphere occur at the top of mesosphere, the Mesopause, especially in the summer near the pole.Transitional layers of atmosphere include tropopause, stratopause, and mesopause. These layers are relatively thin and are located between major layers of atmosphere. These have contrasting thermal properties. Hence, in these layers there is no change in temperature with change in altitude.

Q:

Biological catalysts are protein molecules which

1. speed up a chemical reaction

2. remain unchanged after reaction

3. function optimally at 37 deg C.

4. do not have an enzymatic activity

Select the correct answer using the code given below.

A) 1 only B) 1, 2 and 3
C) 2 and 3 only D) 1, 3 and 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1, 2 and 3

Explanation:

Enzymes are biological catalysts. Enzymes are the catalysts involved in biological chemical reactions.

A fundamental task of proteins is to act as enzymes—catalysts that increase the rate of virtually all the chemical reactions within cells.

A catalyst remains chemically unchanged itself at the end of a reaction.

Each enzyme has a temperature that it works optimally in, which in humans is around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, 37 degrees Celsius –the normal body temperature for humans.

Select the correct answer using the code given below.

A) 1 only B) 2 and 3 only
C) 1, 2 and 4 D) 2, 3 and 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2 and 3 only
