Q:

The fact that the planets move around the Sun, not in circles but in ellipses, was first demonstrated by

A) Galileo B) Martin Luther
C) Johannes Kepler D) Copernicus
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Johannes Kepler

Explanation:

Kepler’s  laws  of  planetary  motion state  that  (a)  All  planets  move  in elliptical orbits with the Sun at one of  the  focal  points  (b)  The  radius vector  drawn  from  the  sun  to  a planet  sweeps  out  equal  areas  in equal  time  intervals.  This  follows from  the  fact  that  the  force  of gravitation on the planet is central and  hence  angular  momentum  is conserved.  (c)  The  square  of  the orbital   period   of   a   planet   is proportional  to  the  cube  of  the semi  major  axis  of  the  elliptical orbit of the plane.

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives and click the button corresponding to it.

The antigen-antibody immunological reaction is used to be regarded as typical of immunological responses. Antibodies are proteins synthesized by specialized cells called plasma cells, which are formed by lymphocytes (cells from the lymph system) when an antigen, a substance foreign to an organism's body, comes in contact with lymphocytes. Two important manifestations of antigen-antibody immunity are lysis, the rapid physical rupture of antigenic cells and the liberation of their contents into the surrounding medium, and phagocytosis, a process in which antigenic particles are engulfed by and very often digested by macrophages and polymorphs. The process of lysis is executed by a complex and unstable blood constituent known as complement, which will not work unless it is activated by a specific antibody; the process of phagocytosis is greatly facilitated when the particles to be engulfed are coated by a specific antibody directed against them.

One of the two important manifestations of antigen-antibody immunity is lysis while the other is

A) lymphocytes B) plasma
C) antigenic cells D) phagocytosis
