Q:

What organelle allows some protists to detect light?

Answer

An organelle called Eyespot allows some protists to detect light. It allows the cells to sense light direction and intensity and respond to it by swimming either towards the light (positive phototaxis) or away from the light (negative phototaxis).


 


Eyespot is a photoreceptive organelle found in the flagellate or (motile) cells of green algae and other unicellular photosynthetic organisms such as euglenids.


 


Eyespot-mediated light perception helps the cells in finding an environment with optimal light conditions for photosynthesis. Eyespots are the simplest and most common "eyes" found in nature, composed of photoreceptors and areas of bright orange-red pigment granules.

Q:

Slip rings are usually made of

A) Aluminium B) Copper
C) Phosphor Bronze D) Carbon
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Phosphor Bronze

Explanation:

A Slip ring is a ring in a dynamo or electric motor which is attached to and rotates with the shaft, passing an electric current to a circuit via a fixed brush pressing against it.

 

Slip rings are usually made of Phosphor Bronze.

 

Slip ring motors usually have a 'phase-wound' rotor. This type of rotor has a 3-phase, double-layer, distributed winding consisting of coils used in alternators. The rotor core is made up of steel laminations which have slots to accommodate formed 3-single phase windings.

Q:

The Kinetic energy of gas molecules

A) is unaffected by temperature variations B) decreases with increase of temperature
C) increases with decrease of temperature D) increases with increase of temperature
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) increases with increase of temperature

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy K.E = 12mV2  or 

K.E V2, Where 'm' is the mass and 'v' is the velocity of molecules.

 

Velocity is proportional to temperature. Hence, KE is proportional to temperature and would increase with temperature.
