Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The cell from microorganisms such as bacteria. Fungi, filamentous algae, treated in various ways and used as food, are called single cell protein (SCP). The biomass is not only obtained from unicellular microorganisms but also from multicellular microorganisms.

A laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radition ) provides a coherent (in phase) monochoramtic source of high intensity light . Lasers are used in eye surgery,CD/DV players basic research etc. Some modern eye lasers can be "tuned" to emit a desired wavelenght . The following table shows the lambda=(nm),v(s^(-1)) and E(J) but some of the date missing : [Take E(ev)=(1240)/lambda_(nm)] {:("Leser No.",lambda("nm"),v(s^(-1)),"Energy (J)"),("I",A,5xx10^(-14),B),("II",487.9,C,D),("III",E,F,3.2xx10^(-19)):} Which of the following statements(s) is /are correct? (i) All the three radiation (from laser ) lie in visble region (ii) The enegies D and B alone are not sufficient to remove electron completely from isolated gaseous H-atoms which is present at ground state (iii) In the spectrum the increasing order of lambda for the type of lasers is IIltIIIltI (iv) None of the above statement is correct

Which of the following statements regarding eutrophication are correct ? (i) Eutrophication is the natural ageing of a lake by nutrient enrichment of its water. (ii) Pollutants from human activities like effluents from the industries and homes can radically accelerate the aging process of a lake. This phenomenon is called as cultural or accelerated eutrophication. (iii) The plant nutrients responsible for eutrophication are nitrates and phosphates. (iv) These phosphates and nitrates accelerate the growth of algae, which utilise oxygen and may deoxygenate the water to kill the fish and other aquatic animals.

Which of the following statements about cell junctions are correct ? (i) All the cells of the epithelium are held together with little intercellular materials (ii) In almost all animal tissues specialised junctions provide both structural and functional link between their individual cells (iii) Tight junctions prevent substances from leaking across a tissue (iv) Adhering junctions provide cementing to keep neighbouring cells together (v) Gap junction provide cytoplasmic channels between cells for passage of ions, small molecules and sometimes big molecules.
