Alternating Current (AC) is the current in which flow of current is altered periodically whereas in DC current i.e, direct current the flow of current is only in one direction.

Some of the sources of AC current are :

1. Hydro-electric generators

2. Thermal power generators

3. Nuclear  power generators...

True, the carbon in the ocean originates from the atmosphere. The oceanic surface water absorbs the carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere and dissolves in it.

During daylight hours, plants capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it to make carbohydrates which is stored as starch in the plant. Animals feed on the plants and extract the carbohydrates through their digestive system. The carbohydrates, namely glucose, are used by the animals for production of ATP through cellular respiration.

Cellar respiration in the animals produces carbon dioxide as a waste product. The carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, from where it is again captured by plants and the cycle is repeated.

Hence, option B) Plant ----> Animal ----> Atmosphere is the path possible in carbon cycle.

In chemistry, the term transition metal has three possible meanings: The IUPAC definition defines a transition metal as "an element whose atom has a partially filled d sub-shell, or which can give rise to cations with an incomplete d sub-shell".

Any of the set of metallic elements occupying a central block (Groups IVB–VIII, IB, and IIB, or 4–12) in the periodic table, e.g. iron, manganese, chromium, and copper. Chemically they show variable valency and a strong tendency to form coordination compounds, and many of their compounds are coloured.

Here in the given options, only iron (Fe) is a transition metal since Strontium is an alkaline earth, arsenic is a metalloid, hydrogen is (normally) a diatomic gas.

An Umbrella.

Yes, when it is open it can't be fit under a chimney but when it is closed it can be fit down a chimney.

Preemptive scheduling: The preemptive scheduling is prioritized. The highest priority process should always be the process that is currently utilized.

Non-Preemptive scheduling: When a process enters the state of running, the state of that process is not deleted from the scheduler until it finishes its service time.
