The part of human eye which carries electric signals to the brain

Name the protective covering membrane which protects the brain from mechanical shocks.

The three membranes covering the brain are called Meninges. Write them in the correct sequence begining from inner side of the outer.

Which cranial nerves originates from the mid brain?

Questions based on paragraph : Sound is propagated in a material medium in the form of compression and rarefactions. One compression and one rarefaction together form one cycle of the sound wave. The number of cycles produced per second is called as frequency. A tuning fork is a two-pronged device which vibrates to produce sound when struck. The frequency of a tuning fork is decided by the dimensions of the prong and the material used for making the fork. When these sound waves reach ears of listener, his ear-drum vibrates. Accordingly specific signals are conveyed to the brain and the listener gets a sense of hearing sound. : If a tuning fork has a frequency of 546 Hz, then how many times will it vibrate in a second?

Paragraph based Questions : Read the paragraph and answer the, questions given below: Sulphuric acid is present in the acid rain and materials coming out of mines . You know that erosion of metals present in statues, bridges and buildings occurs due to it. Sulphuric acid is a source of energy for some species of bacteria like Acidophilum spp. and Acidobacillus ferrooxidans Hence. these bacteria can control the soil pollution occurring due to acid rain water soluble salts of uranium are present in the wastes produced during electroplating and in effluent released in the environment from the atomic energy Plant. Geobacter convert these salts of yranium into insoluble salts and thereby prevent those salts from mixing with groundwater sources. Which bacteria prevent these salts from mixing with ground water by converting them into insoluble salts?
