  • The only vitamin which can not be stored in the human body:

    • Vitamin A
    • Vitamin C
    • Vitamin D
    • Vitamin K
  • Deficiency of Vitamin C causes?

    • Beri Beri
    • Rickets
    • Scurvy
    • None of these
  • Night blindness is due to lack of?

    • Vitamin A
    • Vitamin B
    • Vitamin C
    • Vitamin D
  • Bile is stored in:

    • Gall Bladder
    • Kidney
    • Liver
    • Stomach
  • Sound cannot travel through:

    • Solid
    • Vacuum
    • Gasses
    • Liquid
  • Which of the following is most soluble in water?

    • Sulphur
    • Camphor
    • Sugar
    • Common salt
    See Details

    Of the given options, sugar C12 H22 O11 is the most soluble in water H2 O, followed by common salt NaCl, camphor C10 H16 O, and sulphur S8 in that order. Water H2 O is called a universal solvent because it dissolves the majority of compounds present in the earth’s crust. Sugar C12 H22 O11 is a polar molecule that readily dissolves in water due to the water molecule’s ability to form hydrogen bonds with the polar sugar molecule, making it highly soluble. Common salt NaCl is also a polar molecule, but its solubility is slightly lower than that of sugar C12 H22 O11. Camphor C10 H16 O is a nonpolar molecule and has low solubility in water H2 O. Sulphur S8 is also a nonpolar molecule and is only slightly soluble in water H2 O.

    Therefore, the answer is c. Sugar.

  • Study of tissue is called:

    • Botany
    • Histology
    • Entomology
    • Zoology
    See Details

    Tissues are groups of cells that work together to perform specific functions in the body. Histology is the scientific study of tissues, including their structure, function, and composition. Histologists use microscopes and other tools to examine tissues at a microscopic level, which allows them to observe the cells and structures that make up the tissue.

  • The temperature at which water boils depends mainly on ____?

    • Air temperature
    • Relative humidity
    • Air pressure
    • Air density
    See Details

    The temperature at which water boils depends mainly on air pressure. As the atmospheric pressure decreases, the boiling point of water decreases as well, and vice versa. At sea level, water boils at 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) at standard atmospheric pressure, but at higher elevations where the atmospheric pressure is lower, the boiling point of water is lower.
