Hints and explainations

Biology:

  1. Myosin heads have ATPase activity
  2. Pythium is a genus of parasitic oomycete.

22 . cannibalism means the act of any animal consuming members of its own type or kind, including the consumption of mates. mycorrhizas) is a symbiotic (generally mutualistic, but occasionally weakly pathogenic) association between a fungus and the roots of a vascular plant.

  1. Iodine is essential in animals

27 . Hygroscopic materials absorb moisture  from environment.

  1. LH is responsible of rupturing of graafian follicles and hence release of ovum
  2. Primates have menstrual cycle

43 . Blood has cells of immune system that can reject a transplant

  1. Contractile vacoule is found only in freshwater protozoans.
  2. Natural selection is the process by which traits become more or less common in a population due to consistent effects upon the survival or reproduction of their bearers. It is a key mechanism of evolution
  3. Biological Magnification often refers to the process whereby certain substances such as pesticides or heavy metals move up the food chain, work their way into rivers or lakes, and are eaten by aquatic organisms such as fish, which in turn are eaten by large birds, animals or humans. The substances become concentrated in tissues or internal organs as they move up the chain
  4. Peroxyacyl nitrates, or PANs, are powerful respiratory and eye irritants present in photochemical smog. They are formed from a peroxyacyl radical and nitrogen dioxide, for example peroxyacetyl nitrate, CH3COOONO2:

 

Hydrocarbons + O2 + NO2 + light → CH3COOONO2

  1. 67. Immunoglobins and antitoxins are antibodies

74 Histocytes are macrophages

91 Genetic drift or allelic drift is the change in the frequency of a gene variant (allele) in a population due to random sampling.

  1. fern is a pteridophite, funaria is a bryophyte that do not produce seeds
