The amount of moisture that leather adsorbs or loses is determined by temperature, relative humidity, degree of porosity, and the size of the pores. Moisture has great practical significance because its amount affects the durability of leather, and in articles such as shoes, gloves, and other garments, the comfort of the wearer. High moisture content accelerates deterioration and promotes mildew action. On the other hand, a minimum amount of moisture is required to keep leather properly lubricated and thus prevent cracking. The study indicates that adsorption of moisture by leather is a multi-molecular process and is accompanied by low enthalpies of adsorption. Further 75-percent relative humidity the adsorption is a function of surface area alone. Untanned hide and chrome-tanned leathers have the largest surface areas. The leathers tanned with the vegetable tanning materials have smaller surface areas since they are composed of less hide substance and the capillaries are reduced to smaller diameters, in some cases probably completely filled by tanning materials. This process of tanning occurs due to mutual coagulation of positively charged hide with negatively charged tanning material. The result of the study indicated that untanned hide and chrome-tanned leather adsorb the most water vapour. Assertion: Adsorption of moisture by leather is physisorption. Reason: It is a multimolecular process and is accompanied by low enthalpies of adsorption

Assertion: Human population size has grown enormously over the last hundred years. Reason: Increasing population creates more demand for food, water, home, electricity, roads and automobiles that exerting tremendous pressure on our natural resources, and are also contributing to pollution of air, water and soil.

Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the option given below: Assertion: Absorption of digested food mainly occurs in the stomach. Reason : Stomach produces the hormone gastrin and the intrisic factor and it liquifies ingested food.

Assertion (A): Digestion does not take place in large intestine. Reason (R): Undigested food gets converted to faeces in large intestine.

Assertion. Smoking increases secretion of gastric juice even when there is no food in the stomach. Reason. This is aimed at quickening the digestion of food when taken.

Food chains are very important for the survival of most species. When only one element is removed from the food chain it can result in extinction of a species in some cases. The foundation of the food chain consists of primary producers Primary producers, or autotrophs, can use either solar energy or chemical energy to create complex organic compounds, whereas species at higher trophic levels cannot and so must consume producers or other life that itself consumes producers. Because the sun's light is necessary for photosynthesis, most life could not exist if the sun disappeared. Even so, it has recently been discovered that there are some forms of life, chemotrophs, that appear to gain all their metabolic energy from chemosythesis driven by hydrothermal vents, thus showing that some life may not require solar energy to thrive. Mr. X is eating curd/yogurt. For this food intake in a food chain he should be considered as occupying
