General Science Questions

Photosynthesis is the process that takes place in leaves that converts light energy into chemical energy or sugars. It occurs in the presence of chlorophyll that is present in leaves as a green pigment, carbondi oxide and water with the help of sun light. So the energy for photosynthesis come from sun light.

The plants which flower only once in their lifetime are called Monocarpic Plants.

Now a days, printers we are using are called as laser printers. The speed of a laser printer is measured in PPM i.e, Pages Per Minute. 

Laser printing is an electrostatic digital printing process. It produces high-quality text and graphics by repeatedly passing a laser beam back and forth over a negatively charged cylinder called a "drum" to define a differentially charged image.

Compared to inkjet printers which use ink for printing laser printers are more expensive as they use toner which lasts for long.

Micronutrients are ne tothe nutrients which our body requires for functioning and to maintain immune to micro organisms. They include 

1) Vitamins 

2) Minerals

• Vitamins: A,B1,B2,B3,B5,B6,B8,B9,B12,C,D,E,K.

• Major minerals: calcium, magnesium, chlorine, phosphorus, potassium and sodium.

• Oligo-elements (trace minerals): iron, copper, zinc, iodine, manganese, chromium, cobalt, selenium.

In communication satellite, multiple repeaters are known as Transponders.

Silicon Carbide is a semiconductor which has silicon and carbon. It is also called as carborundam.

Silicon carbide is used for cutting very hard substances.

Demography is the scientific study of Birth and death, The well being and the Growth of population. In brief, it is the study of human populations based on their size, composition and distribution across space – and the process through which populations change.

Proteins are made from chain of aminoacids.
