Following are a few organisms Moses, Lichens, Neem trees, Cactus. Which among the above can grow on stones and also help in the formation of soil? Write the mode of their action for making soil?

Atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere are the four main segments of the environment. Atmosphere is a cover of gases that extends to a height of about 1600 km above the surface of the earth and protects the life on the earth from harmful radiations coming from the sun or the outer space. Atmosphere is further divided into four regions such as troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. Hydrosphere forms that part of the environment which contains water. Lithosphere is the solid component of the earth consisting of soil, rocks, mountains etc. Biosphere is that part of the above segments where living organisms interact with these parts and live together. Which of the following is the coldest region ?

Following passage describes charcterstics of colloids. Answer the questions at the end of it. Lyophilic colloidal sols are much more stable than lyophobic colloidal sols. This is due to the extensive solvation of lyophilic colloidal sols, which forms a protective layer outside it and thus prevents it from forming associated colloids. Lyophillic colloidal sols also protect lyophobic colloidal sols from precipition by the action of electrolytes. This is due to formation of a protective layer by lyophilic sols outside lyophobic sols. Lyophilic colloidal sols are called protective sols. Gelatin (lyophilic) protects gold sol (lyophobic) from coagulaion on the addition of sodium chloride solution. Protective powers of different colloidal sols are measured in terms of 'gold number' (Zigmody). It is defined as the amount of protective sol in milligrams that prevents the coagulation of 10 mL of a given gold sol on adding 1 mL of 10 percent sodium chloride. Thus smaller the gold number of a lyophillic sol, the greater is the protective power. [AgI]I^(-) collodial sol can be coagulated by the addition of a suitable cation. 1 mol of [Agl]I^(-) requires mol of AgNO_3, Pb(NO_3)_2 and Fe(NO_3)_3 as

Read the following passage. Correct it into a tabular form. Soil is make up of distinct horizontal layers called Horizons. They are divided into O, A, E, B, c and R horizons. O-horizon made of mostly of humus, Plant roots can grow in A-horizon, Water drips through E-horizon. B-horizon is also called subsoil. C-horizon consists of slightly broken up bedrock where as R-horizon have unweathered Rock.
