Q:

Two metallic wires made from copper have same length but the radius of wire 1 is half of that of wire 2. The resistance of wire 1 is R. If both the wires are joined together in series, the total resistance becomes

 

A) 2R B) R/2
C) 5R/4 D) 3R/4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5R/4

Explanation:

So, resistance of Wire 2 is R/4 as radius is half of wire 1, so area would be 4 times of wire 1.

Now for resistance in series. R= R1 + R2.

Therefore, Final R= R + R/4 = 5R/4

Q:

In economics, if a good is inelastic,

A) its supply or demand is not sensitive to price changes. B) consumers have lost an interest in purchasing it.
C) producers have lost an interest in manufacturing it. D) its supply or demand is too sensitive to price changes.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) its supply or demand is not sensitive to price changes.

Explanation:

If the percent change in quantity demanded is less than the percent change in price, economists label the demand for the good as inelastic.

A good that is inelastic does not have very stretchy demand. In economic terms, the quantity demanded does not change a lot when the price changes.

 

So, if the price of a good increases by 10 percent and the quantity demanded decreases by only 5 percent or less than 10, that good is said to have inelastic demand.

 

Hence, in this case, consumers are not considered very sensitive, or responsive, to a change in the price of that good.

Q:

Gluconeogenesis is a term that describes the synthesis of

Answer

Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway that leads to the synthesis of glucose from pyruvate and other non-carbohydrate precursors, even in non-photosynthetic organisms.


 


It occurs in all microorganisms, fungi, plants and animals, and the reactions are essentially the same, leading to the synthesis of one glucose molecule from two pyruvate molecules. Therefore, it is in essence glycolysis in reverse, which instead goes from glucose to pyruvate, and shares seven enzymes with it.
