General Science Questions

A grouping of stars that resembles a picture i.e, forms an imaginary outline or pattern typically representing an animal, mythological person or creature, a god, or an inanimate object is called a constellation. The night sky is divided into 88 sections called constellations.

Plants developing in dry conditions are called as xerophytes.

Pulse crops are one of the most sustainable crops a farmer can grow. Pulses are a type of leguminous crop that are harvested solely for the dry seed. Dried beans, lentils and peas are the most commonly known pulses.

Pulses are good source of proteins we all need for living.

A protein that acts as a hormone is INSULIN.

Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets; it is considered to be the main anabolic hormone of the body.  Insulin helps keeps your blood sugar level from getting too high or too low.  

The repeating units that are used to form the helical DNA structure are called nucleotides.

Electronic Flash differs from the consumable bulb flash in important aspects. Instead of creating light by burning up in an atmosphere containing oxygen, a consumable material (each bulb being used therefore only once), it produces a brilliant incandescent by discharging a current for a brief instant through a rarified gas, usually xenon. The gas glows every time the discharge is made through it but it is not consumed, so that many thousands of flashes are obtainable from a single tube, which helps to offset the much higher cost of the initial apparatus.

Cobalt therapy or cobalt-60 therapy is the medical use of gamma rays from the radioisotope cobalt-60 to treat conditions such as cancer.

Cobalt 60 is a synthetic radioactive isotope of cobalt with a half-life of 5.2714 years. It is produced artificially in nuclear reactors.

Chloroplasts are organelles in plant and bacteria cells that contain the chlorophyll is responsible for photosynthesis.
