Q1.Increase in kinetic energy can overcome intermolecular forces of attraction. How will the viscosity of liquid be affected by the increase in temperature?
Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution:
Viscosity is inversely proportional to temperature., hence viscosity of the given liquid decreases with rise in temperature since, the liquid particles can move more freely as the friction between them become lesser.
Answer : Option AExplaination / Solution:
companion cell: any of a number of specialized parenchymal cells adjacent to a sieve tube in the phloem of flowering plants, believed to regulate the flow of nutrients through the tube.
Q5.S-shaped graph produced on plotting growth against time is called
Answer : Option AExplaination / Solution:
S- Shaped growth curve (Sigmoid growth curve) A pattern of growth in which, in a new environment, the population density of an organism increases slowly initially, in a positive acceleration phase; then increases rapidly approaching an exponential growth rate; but then declines in a negative acceleration phase until at zero growth rate the population stabilizes.
This slowing of the rate of growth reflects increasing environmental resistance which becomes proportionately more important at higher population densities.
This type of population growth is termed ‘density dependent’.

Q7.In a scientific name, the name of the author is printed in
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
Name of the author appears after the specific epithet, i.e., at the end of the biological name and is written in an abbreviated form, e.g., MangiferaindicaLinn. It indicates that this species was first described by Linnaeus. Hence, the correct option is Abbreviated.
Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution:
Quantitative measurement is central to the growth of physics because Laws of nature happen to be expressible in more precise mathematical equations.
