Q:

Which one of the following is applicable to collision-coalescence process of precipitation?

 

A) Clouds which do not extend beyond the freezing level B) Clouds which extend beyond the freezing level
C) All types of clouds D) Cirrocumulus cloud
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Clouds which do not extend beyond the freezing level

Explanation:

In colder clouds: droplets formed by Bergeron mechanism. But, in many parts of the world the air is too warm for ice crystals to form. This being the case, rain and snow cannot develop following the Bergeron Process. Instead, tiny droplets form as they collide into one another creating larger and larger droplet, this is known as collision-coalescence process. So, warmer clouds are associated with this keyword.

Q:

Which one of the following pairs about organ/part that helps in locomotion is not correctly matched?

A) Euglena : Flagellum B) Paramecium : Cilia
C) Nereis : Pseudopodia D) Starfish : Tubefeet
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Nereis : Pseudopodia

Explanation:

Euglena move by a flagellum (plural ‚ flagella), which is a long whip-like structure that acts like a little motor.

The paramecium uses its cilia to sweep the food along with some water into the cell mouth after it falls into the oral groove.

The underside of the starfish is covered with hundreds of tube feet, which it uses for walking around, for attaching tightly to rocks, and for holding on to prey.

Nereis possess setae and parapodia for locomotion

Q:

In which one of the following types of connective tissues in animals does fat get stored?

A) Adipocyte B) Chondrocyte
C) Osteocyte D) Reticulocyte
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Adipocyte

Explanation:

Adipocytes are the major source of leptin production, and plasma leptin concentrations directly correlate with the amount of total body fat.

Adipocytes are highly specialized cells that play a crucial role in the energy balance of most vertebrates.

Adipocytes convert excess energy to tri-acylglycerol and deposit it during feeding in preparation for periods of food deprivation.

Adipocytes may become enlarged by increased fat storage
