Why do we suffer from common cold repetitivly in our life, but other viral diseases like Influenza or small pox only once?

Louis pasteur's experiment, if you recall, proved that life can arise from only pre existing life, can we correct this as life evolves from pre-existing life or other-wise we will never answer the question as to how the first form of life arose? comment

Select the appropriate option and complete the following paragraph. (cornea, faint, conical, rod, image, coloured, retina, colours, myopic, presbyopic, colour blind) The ____ in our eyes consists of many light sensitive cells. These cells are shaped like a rod and like a cone. The ____ shaped cells give information about the intensity of light to the brain. The ____ cells give information about the colour of the object to the brain. Brain processes all the information received and we see the actual image of the object. Rod shaped cells respond to ___ light also but conical cells do not. Thus we perceive ____ only in bright light. Some people cannot recognize few colours or cannot distinguish between different colours. These persons are said to be _____. Apart from not being able to distinguish between different colours, their eye sight is normal.

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. Which type of energy do we mostly use in India?

Why will energy from fossil fuel be over soon?

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions: If heat is exchanged between a hot and cold object, the temperature of the cold object goes on increasing due to gain of energy and the temperature of the hot object goes on decreasing gue to loss of energy. The change in temperature continues till the temperatures of both the objects attain the same value. In this process, the cold object gains heat energy and the hot object loses haet energy. If the system of both the objects is isolated from the environment by keeping it inside a heat resistance box (meaning that the energy exchange takes place between the two objects only ), then no energy can flow from inside the box or come into the box. Which principle do we learn about from this process?

The coutries which do not have oil reservatirs in their land import oil from other countries. But sometimes during transporting oil through sea routes, accidental oil spilling occurs. This oil spilled in the ocean may prove fatal and toxic to aquatic animals. Therefore, removel of this spilled oil is essential for protection of aquatic life. For removing this oil layer, certain microbes like Pseudomonas spp. and Alcanivarax borkumensis are used. These microbes have the ability to destroy the pyridines and other toxic chemicals. The hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria (HCB) are able to decompose the hydrocarbons and bring about the reaction carbon with oxygen resulting in formation of CO_(2) and water. Like oil spills cause damage to aquatic life, platic forms the major part of the grabage on land. Plastics are difficult to degrade as they are made up of PET. By research, various species like Vibrio and Idenoella sakaiensis which can degred PET.By research, various species like Vibrio and Ideonella sakaiensis which can degrade PET have been identified. There are cartain species of microbes which can decompose rubber from garbage. Based on the given paragraph answer the following question. Name any two species of microbes which can degrade rubber from
