Polluted water bodies have usually very high abundance of plants like Nostoc and Oscillatoria. Give reasons.

Animals like whale have very thick blubber.Give reasons.

Answer the following: Nephrolepis plants have a primitive conducting system. However they can not be considered as phanerogams. Give reason.

Thallophyta plants have thin and fibre like body.

alpha-a m i n o acids have high melting points compared to their corresponding amines or carboxylic acid of comparable molecular mass. Give scientific reason.

Figure shows a potentiometer with a cell of 2.0 V and internal resistance 0.40 Omega maintaining a potential drop across the resistor wire AB. A standard cell which maintains a constant emf of 1.02V (for very moderate currents upto a few mA) gives a balance point at 67.3 cm length of the wire.To ensure that very low current drawn from the standard cell,a very high resistance of 600 k Omega is put in series with it, which is shorted close to the balance point. The standard cell is then replaced by a cell of unknown emf E and the balance point found similarly,turns out to be at 82.3 cm length of the wire . What purpose does the high resistance of 600 k Omega have?

Cellular respiration is the oxidation of foodstuffs for the production of energy. During aerobic respiration, complete oxidation of glucose takes place.Contradictor to this, glucose is incompletely oxidized durin anaerobic respiration . Many microbesare capacble of surviving anaerobically in environments that lack oxygen. Anaerobic respiration occurs via two steps,namely glycolysis and fermentation. The pyruvic acid formed during glycolysis is converted to organic acids or alcohols during anaerobic process. higher animals and plants, or seeds submerged in soil under water are capable ofperforming anaerobic respiration, when the oxygen levels are depleted .Even body cells like erythrocytes and mscle cells perform anaerobic respiration. Seeds sown in soid inmarshy lands having high water content would perform which type of cellular respiration during germination ?

Give reasons. Inert gases have exceptionally high ionization potential.

You have heard about several insectivorous plants that feed on insects. Nepenthes or the pitcher plant is one-such example, which usually grows in shallow water or in marsh lands. What part of the plant is modified into-a 'pitcher'? How does this modification’help.the plant for food even though it can, photosynthesize like any Other green plant?
