Q:

A) Goa B) Delhi
C) Hyderabad D) Nagpur
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Nagpur

Explanation:

With India's pledge to go all electric by 2030, Nagpur will be the first city in the country to adopt electric cabs as the country moves a step closer to its goal.

The pilot project will see around 200 e-cabs in Nagpur with the local body to provide for the charging stations across the city.

Currently, Mahindra and Honda are few of the car-manufacturers who have electric and hybrid vehicles in their line-up. We do hope that the situation changes, as hybrid and electric vehicles will help in the growing pollution in India. Countries such as France, Netherland and Belgium have already started to adopt electric and hybrid vehicles.

A) A B) B
C) C D) E
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) B

Explanation:

The receptor molecules, which receive signals from outside the cell, passing the signal to the inside.

 

In order for a nerve cell, or any cell, to perceive its environment, it needs a sensory apparatus. And for an individual cell, most of that sensation is derived at the cell surface. So, it expresses on its cell surface proteins that span across the membrane.

In the outside world, these proteins can act to receive signals, catching molecules on the outside and then as the molecule passes to the inside of the cell, they can send signals like alarm signals that can tell the cell that a particular molecule is outside.

 

Hence, here B is the receptor cell.
