The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the infection by a protozoan such as Entamoeba and its characteristics related to colitis, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Infection**: - The protozoan Entamoeba histolytica is known to cause amoebiasis, which can lead to intestinal issues, including colitis. 2. **Identifying Symptoms of Amoebiasis**: - The primary symptoms associated with amoebiasis include: - **Loose motion**: This refers to diarrhea, which is a common symptom of intestinal infections. - **Bloody feces**: The infection can cause inflammation and ulceration in the intestines, leading to the presence of blood in the stool. - **Dehydration**: Due to excessive loss of fluids from diarrhea, dehydration is a significant concern in cases of amoebiasis. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - The question provides four options: - Loose motion - Bloody feces - Dehydration - All of these - Since all three symptoms (loose motion, bloody feces, and dehydration) are characteristic of the infection caused by Entamoeba histolytica, we can conclude that the correct answer encompasses all the symptoms. 4. **Final Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is **All of these**.

Collision is a physical process in which two or more objects, either particle masses or rigid bodies, experience very high force of interaction for a very small duration. It is not essential for the objects to physically touch each other for collision to occur. Irrespective of the nature of interactive force and the nature of colliding bodies, Newton's second law holds good on the system. Hence, momentum of the system before and after the collision remains conserved if no appreciable external force acts on the system during collision. The amount of energy loss during collision, if at all, is indeed dependent on the nature of colliding objects. The energy loss is observed to be maximum when objects stick together after collision. The terminology is to define collision as 'elastic' if no energy loss takes place and to define collision as 'plastic' for maximum energy loss. The behaviour of system after collision depends on the position of colliding objects as well. A unidirectional motion of colliding objects before collision can turn into two dimensional after collision if the line joining the centre of mass of the two colliding objects is not parallel to the direction of velocity of each particle before collision. Such type of collision is referred to as oblique collision which may be either two or three dimensional. According to the definition of collision in paragraph I, which of the following physical process is not a collision?
