Q:

Where does glycolysis take place in Eukaryotic cells?

A) Mitochondrial Outer membrane B) Cytoplasm
C) Mitochondrial inner membrane D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Cytoplasm

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration. This process breaks down glucose into two pyruvic acids, and produces 2 ATP and 2 NADH. 

In eukaryotic cells, glycolysis and fermentation reactions occur in the cytoplasm.

Q:

Acceptable noise level for human ear

A) > 85 db B) = 85 db
C) < 85 db D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) < 85 db

Explanation:

Sound intensity or level is measured by a unit called a decibel. An 85 decibel noise level is not a safe standard for the public.

 

Hence, Acceptable noise level for human ear is less than 85 db.

Q:

Is yeast a fungus or bacteria?

Answer

Yeast belongs to members of the Kingdom Fungi.


 


Yeast are single-celled microorganisms that are classified, along with molds and mushrooms in Fungi family. 


 


Yeasts are evolutionally diverse and are therefore classified into two separate phyla, Ascomycota or sac fungi and Basidiomycota or higher fungi, that together form the subkingdom Dikarya.

Q:

A starts a business, after 6 months B also join him with Rs.4500 and after 2 months of B’s joining C also join them with Rs.4500. If A gets approx. Rs 4900 out of total annual profit of Rs. 10,000 then find the approximate value of initial investment of A.

A) Rs.4800 B) Rs.4200
C) Rs.3600 D) Rs.4400
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs.3600

Explanation:

Let initial investment of A = x
Ratio of profit A : B : C = 12 × x : 6×4500 :4×4500
A :B:C = x : 2250: 1500
Now ATQx/(x+2250+1500) = 4900/10000
solving this we get,x ≈ Rs 3600

Q:

Which best describes somatic mutations?

A) transmitted to progeny B) not transmitted to progeny
C) Can't be identified D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) transmitted to progeny

Explanation:

The best example for somatic mutation would be cancer, familial cancer (which transmits through gametes to the next generation) are not so common while sporadic cancer is seen the most where body cells of a particular area goes through mutations for a number of years and becomes cancerous, but it is not transmitted to next generation.

Q:

Which of the following reactions are redox reactions?

A) Ba(s)+Cl2(g)--->BaCl2(s) B) Mg(s)+Br2(l)--->MgBr2(s)
C) Al(s)+3Ag^+(aq)--->Al^3+(aq)+3Ag(s) D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) All of the above

Explanation:

A redox reaction is a type of reaction which involves transfer of electrons among two species. This reaction is also called oxidation-reduction reaction.

In oxidation process, there is an increase in oxidation state of an atom, ion or molecule by losing the electrons.

In reduction process, there is a decrease in oxidation state of an atom, ion or molecule by accepting the electrons.

1)

In this reaction, Ba undergoes oxidation and Cl undergoes reduction.
This reaction is redox reaction.
In this reaction, oxidation number of Ba increases from 0 to +2 . So, Ba undergoes oxidation. The oxidation number of Cl decreases from 0 to -1. So, Cl undergoes reduction.

 

2) 

 

image

From this above reaction, it is clear that Aluminum undergoes oxidation and silver undergoes reduction.
Due to this, this reaction is redox reaction.

In this reaction, oxidation number of Aluminum increases from 0 to +1. So, aluminum undergoes oxidation. The oxidation number of silver decreases from +1 to 0. So, silver undergoes reduction.

 

3)


image

In this reaction, Mg undergoes oxidation and Br undergoes reduction.
This reaction is redox reaction.
The reactions 1, 3 and 4 are redox reactions.
In this reaction, oxidation number of Mg increases from 0 to +2 . So, Mg undergoes oxidation. The oxidation number of Br decreases from 0 to -1 . So, Br undergoes reduction.

 

Hence all the above reactions are redox reactions.
