Dry ice or Cardice is the solid form of Carbon dioxide.

1. It has an advantage of lower temperature than the water ice and doesn't leave any residue.

2. The reason why it is called as Dry ice is because unlike the normal ice, it won't melt into liquid form. It directly evaporates into the air as gas. That is Solid to gas form passing through liquid state is a phenomenon called as Sublimation.

3. The primary use of dry ice is as cooling agent.

The shortest gestation period known is 12 to 13 days, shared by three marsupials: the American or Virginian opossum (Didelphis marsupialis); the rare water opossum, or yapok (Chironectes minimus) of central and northern South America; and the eastern native cat (Dasyurus viverrinus) of Australia.

Gestation is the period of time between fertilization and birth in oviparous animals.

The elephant has the longest gestation period of about 23 months of any land animal.

A neuron or nerve cell is a cell that carries electrical impulses. Neurons are the basic units of the nervous system and its most important part is the brain. Every neuron is made of a cell body (also called a soma), dendrites and an axon. Dendrites and axons are nerve fibres.

The gap between two communicating neurons is termed Synaptic cleft.

A tertiary consumer is an animal that obtains its nutrition by eating primary consumers and secondary consumers.

Usually tertiary consumers are carnivorous predators, although they may also be omnivores, which are animals that feed on both meat and plant material.

Tertiary consumers often occupy the top trophic level, and so are predated by no other animals; in this case they are called "apex predators". However, when they die their bodies will be consumed by scavengers and decomposers.

Air Pressure can be defined as the pressure of air in the earth's atmosphere. It reaches a maximum of about 100,000 Pa near sea level and decreases as altitude increases.

The barometer is an instrument which is used for measuring Air pressure.

Physics instruments and their uses:

Barkometer  - - - Tanning liquors used in tanning leather

Bolometer  - - - Electromagnetic radiation

Spectrometer - - -  Properties of light.
