Answer the given question orally :
Why are leather articles like purses, wallets, belts, footwear always polished before storing away?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The leather articles, purses, wallets, belts and foot wear contain organic matter. In damp weather, they catch fungus. The fungus and other microbes try to decompose these articles and thus easily grow on them. The leather thus gets spoilt. To avoid this and for long term maintenance, such leather articles need to be polished by a protective coat.

Read the paragraph and answer the questions given below : Our atmosphere is getting hotter. more turbulent, and more unpredictable because of the “boiling and churning” effect caused by the heat-trapping greenhouse gases within the upper layers of atmosphere. With increase of carbon, methane, or other greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, our local weather and global climate is further agitated, heated, and “boiled”. The green house gases such as water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone are causing great impact on life on earth. Due to global warming, the glaciers are melting, causing sea level rise, coastal submergence and frequent natural disasters. We have to rethink while taking the development projects and help to protect the existing life forms on the earth before its too late because climate change can exterminate us. Why is there increased global warming?

Read the paragraph and answer the questions given below: Renewable energy is energy produced from sources that do not deplete or can be replensied within a human's life time. The most common examples include wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and hydroelectric power. This is in contrast to non-renewable energy is derived directly or indirectly from the sun. Sunlight can be captured directly using solar technologies. The sun's heat drives winds, whose energy is captured with turbines. Plants also rely on the sun to grow and their stored energy can be utilized for bioenergy. Not all renewable energy sources rely on the sun. For examples, geothermal energy utilizes the Earth's internal heat, tidal energy relies on the gravitational pull of the moon, and hydroelectric power relies on the flow of water. Why will energy from fossil fuel be over soon?

Read the paragraph and answer the questions given below: With the help of RNA, the genes present in the form of DNA particioate in the functioning of cell and thereby control the structure and functioning of the body. Information about protein synthesis is stored in the DNA and synthesis of appropriate proteins as per synthesized by DNA through rthe RNA. This is called 'Central Dogma'. mRNA is produced as per the sequence of nucleotides on DNA. Only one of the two strands of DNA is used in this process. The seqience of nucleotides in mRNA being produced is always complementary to the DNA strand used for synthesis. Besides, there is uracil in RNA instead of thymine of DNA. This is process of RNA synthesis is called 'transcription'. Which part of the cell control the structure and fucntioning of the body?
