Water-soluble inorganic nutrients go down into soil horizon and get precipitated an unavailable salts by the process of

Select the incorrect statement w.r.t decomposition. (a) Bacterial and fungal enzyme degrade detritus into simpler inorganic substances in a process is called catabolism. (b) Humans is less resistant to microbial action and undergones decomposition at an extremely slow rate. (c) By the process of leaching , watersoluble inorganic nutrients go down into the soil horizon and get precipitated as unavailable salts. (d) Decomposition is largely an oxygen requiring process.

Fragmentation, leaching and catabolism are some of the important steps of decomposition. Study the following statements I , ii and iii regarding these and select the correct option. (i) Detritivores (e.g., earthworm) breakdown detritus into smaller particles. (ii) Water soluble inorganic nutrients go down into soil horizon and get precipitated as unavailable salts. (iii) Decomposers (e.g., bacteria and fungi) secrete digestive enzymes and degrade detritus into simpler inorganic substances.

By the process of leaching ,……..... nutrients go down into the soil horizon and get precipitated .

The process which involves the treatment of the ore with a suitable reagent as to make it soluble while impurities remain insoluble is called :-

which of the following salt does not get hydrolysed in water?

A white sodium salt dissolves in water to give a solution which is neutral to litmus.When silver nitrate solution is added to the solution, a white precipitate is obtained which does not dissolve in dilute HNO_(3) .The anion is

Salts M, N, O, P and Q undergo reactiom (i) to (v) respectively. Identify the cation present in these salts on the basis of these reaction. Tabulate your answer in the format given below. 1. When sodium hydroxide solution is added to the salt M, and heated strongly a colourless gas with a pungent smell is evolved which turm red litmus paper blue and gives dense white fumes with a moist glass rod with hydrochloric acid. 2. Addition of dilute hydrochloric acid to a solution of N gives a thick white precipitate which is soluble in hot water. 3. When ammonium hydroxide solution is added to the solution of 0 a light blue precipitate is obtained which is soluble in excess of ammonium hydroxide to form an inteme deep blue solution. 4. When ammonium hydroxide solution is added to the solution of P reddish brown (mustard colour) precipitate is obtained which ,is insoluble even in the excess of ammonium hydroxide solution. 5. When sodium hydroxide solution is added to the solution of Q a which coloured gelatinous precipitate is obtained which is soluble in excess of sodium hydroxide to form a clear solution

When you take cells or tissue pieces and grind them with an acid in a mortar and pestle, all the small biomolecules dissolve in the acid. Proteins, polysaccharides and nucleic acids are insoluble in mineral acid and get precipitated. The acid soluble compounds include amino acids, nucleosides, small sugars etc. When one adds a phosphate group to a nucleoside one gets another acid soluble biomolecule called
