Explanation

Heterotrophs are those organisms that cannot prepare their food from nature 

Hence depend on other organisms that produce food (autotrophs).

Non-green plants cannot make their food due to the absence of chlorophyll in their leaves

Explanation

The spleen is often referred to as the "graveyard of RBCs"

Because it is responsible for filtering and breaking down old, damaged, and worn-out red blood cells (RBCs).

Explanation

Antoine Henri Becquerel was an engineer, physicist, Nobel laureate,

First person to discover evidence of radioactivity.

 He belonged to France.

Explanation

• The time period of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field:
• Formula:T=2πm/ qB
• • Here, m = mass, q = charge, and B = magnetic field strength.
• Notice the velocity v does not appear in this formula — the period depends only on mass, charge, and field strength.

Explanation

• Carbon monoxide (CO) binds strongly with hemoglobin in the blood.
• It forms carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), reducing the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity.
• CO binds to hemoglobin about 200–250 times more strongly than oxygen.
• This can lead to oxygen deficiency (hypoxia) in body tissues.
• Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and poisonous gas.

Explanation

• Urine is produced in the kidneys by filtering the blood.
• The kidneys remove excess water, salts, and waste products from the blood.
• Urine is formed in tiny filtering units called nephrons.
• After formation, urine passes through the ureters to the urinary bladder.
• The kidneys help maintain the body's fluid and electrolyte balance.

• William Harvey discovered the circulation of blood.
• He was the first physician to completely describe systemic blood circulation.
• Famous book: De Motu Cordis (On the Motion of the Heart and Blood) (1628)
• He is known as the Father of Circulation of Blood.

Explanation

• Tritium (³H) is the radioactive isotope of hydrogen.
• It undergoes beta (β) decay and changes into Helium-3.

Additional information:

• Hydrogen Isotopes: 3 (Protium, Deuterium, Tritium)
• Protium (¹H): 1 proton, 0 neutrons (Stable)
• Deuterium (²H): 1 proton, 1 neutron (Stable)
• Tritium (³H): 1 proton, 2 neutrons (Radioactive)
• Half-life of Tritium: Approximately 12.3 years

Explanation

The Induced Fit Model was proposed by Daniel Koshland in 1958.

• The enzyme active site is flexible, not rigid.
• Substrate binding induces a shape change in the enzyme.
• The perfect fit is achieved after binding, not before.

Explanation

Area of wall = Height × Length
= 8 × 24
= 192 ft²

Given: 10 gallons cover 75 ft²

Required paint

$$frac{192 times 10}{75} = 25.6$$
