  • b)
    The first word in a biological name represents the genus while the second component denotes the specific epithet.
  • c)
    Both the words in a biological name, when handwritten, are seperately underlined, or printed in italics to indicate their vernacular origin.
  • d)
    The first word denoting the genus starts with a capital letter while the specific epithet starts with a small letter.
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Shreya Menon answered
Explanation:
In the context of biological names, statement 3 is incorrect. When handwritten, biological names are typically underlined, not separately, but as a whole to indicate their vernacular origin. When printed, biological names are usually written in italics. Underlining individual words in a biological name is not a standard practice.

The correct practice is to underline the entire biological name when handwritten or italicize it when printed.

Therefore, the correct answer is 3. Both the words in a biological name, when handwritten, are not separately underlined, or printed in italics to indicate their vernacular origin.

We would first identify the organisms, classify them, note down their characteristics and then give the scientific names.

So, the correct order would be-

-   Identification

-   Classification

-  Characterization

-  Nomenclature

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev JEE answered
Given -
volume of water = 105 mL
density of solution = 0.9 g/mL
Calculation -
Since ammonia dissolved in water is 30% by weight, then using mass % formula, we can calculate the amount of ammonia in water
At 4 degree C, density of water  = 0.999 g/mL
since density = mass /volume
0.999  = mass/ 105 
mass of water = 104.895 g
​now, let mass of ammonia be x.
30x + 3146.85 = 100x
70x = 3146.85
x = 44.955 g
Thus, ammonia dissolved in 105 mL water is 44.955 g
Therefore, total mass of solution = mass of ammonia + mass of water
Mass of solution = 44.955 + 104.895
Mass of solution = 149.85 g
So,density of solution = mass of solution / volume of solution
​0.9 g/mL  = 149.85 g / Volume of solution
Volume of solution = 149.85/ 0.9
Volume of solution = 166.5 mL

Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) are the main nutrients in plant fertilizers. According to an industry convention, the numbers on the label refer to the mass % of N, P205 and K20 in that order calculate the N : P : K ratio of a 30 : 10 : 10, fertilizer in terms of moles of each element and express it as x: y : 1.                       
  • a)
    10 : 0.67 : 1
  • b)
    20 : 0.37 : 1
  • c)
    0.37 : 10: 1
  • d)
    5 : 2 : 1
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Molar mass of N is 14.0067 g/mol.
Molar mass of P2O5 is 30.973762*205 = 6349.62121 g/mol.
Molar mass of K2O is 39.0983*20 = 781.966 g/mol
Ratio of masses is 30:10:10
Therefore for each 50 g of fertilizer:
For N: 30 g / 14.0067 g/mol = 30/14.0067 moles
For P2O5: 10 g / 6349.62121 g/mol = 10/6349.62121 moles
For K2O: 10 g / 781.966 g/mol = 10/781.966 moles
Ratio of elements in terms of moles:
30/14.0067 : 10/6349.62121 : 10/781.966
30/14.0067*781.966/10 : 10/6349.62121*781.966/10 : 10/781.966*781.966/10
167.484 : 0.123 : 1.0

  • b)
    663.8
  • c)
    664
  • d)
    663.82
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

The result of an addition or subtraction in the number having different precisions should be reported to the same number of decimal places as present in the number having the least number of decimal places.
The final result should, therefore, be rounded off to one decimal place, i.e. 663.8

The dimensional formula of coefficient of viscosity is
  • a)
    [MLT-1]
  • b)
    [M-1L2T-2]
  • c)
    [ML-1-1]
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Coefficient of viscosity (η)= Fr/Av   
 F= tangential Force, Area, r= distance between the layers, v= velocity.
Dimensional Formula of Force = M1L1T-2.
Dimensional Formula of Area= M0L2T0.
Dimensional Formula of distance= M0L1T0.
Dimensional Formula of velocity= M0L1T-1.
Putting these values in above equation we get,
[η]= [M1L1T-2][M0L1T0] / [M0L2T0] [M0L1T-1] = [M1L-1T-1]

For 10(at+3) , the dimension of a is-
  • a)
    M0 L0 T0
  • b)
    M0 L0 T1
  • c)
    M0 L0 T-1
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Lavanya Menon answered
As 'at' and 3 are added in the equation, we get at and 3 have same dimensions i.e.1
Thus a has dimensions same as 1/t.

Top Rankers answered
Taxonomic categories and hierarchy in biology are crucial for organizing and classifying living organisms. They help in understanding the relationships between different species by grouping them based on shared characteristics. Each rank or taxon in the hierarchy represents a specific unit of classification, allowing scientists to categorize and study organisms more effectively. This system provides a structured way to classify the diversity of life on Earth, from broad categories like kingdoms to specific species, enabling scientists to make sense of the vast array of living organisms.

What does the term "taxonomic category" refer to within the context of classification processes?
  • a)
    The final step in the classification hierarchy
  • b)
    A unit of classification representing a rank
  • c)
    The overall taxonomic arrangement
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

In the realm of classification, a "taxonomic category" specifically denotes a unit of classification that represents a particular rank. This term is commonly known as a "taxon." Each taxonomic category plays a crucial role in organizing organisms according to shared characteristics and evolutionary relationships. By assigning entities to specific taxonomic categories, scientists can create a structured hierarchy that aids in understanding the diversity of life on Earth.

Understanding Biodiversity
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, encompassing all living organisms, their genetic differences, and the ecosystems they form. Here’s a breakdown of why option 'A' is the correct answer:
1. Definition of Biodiversity
- Biodiversity is a comprehensive term that includes:
- The number of species (both plant and animal).
- The types of organisms present, including microorganisms, fungi, plants, and animals.
- The genetic diversity within these species.
2. Components of Biodiversity
- Biodiversity consists of three main components:
- Genetic Diversity: Variation within species, crucial for adaptation and survival.
- Species Diversity: The variety of species in a given area, including both flora and fauna.
- Ecosystem Diversity: The range of different habitats and ecological processes.
3. Importance of Biodiversity
- Biodiversity is vital for:
- Ecosystem Stability: More diverse ecosystems are more resilient and can better withstand environmental changes.
- Human Welfare: It provides resources like food, medicine, and raw materials.
- Cultural Value: Biodiversity contributes to cultural identity and recreational opportunities.
4. Why Not Options B and C?
- Options B and C narrow the definition to only plants or animals, missing the broader scope of all living organisms.
- Biodiversity includes microorganisms and fungi, which are equally important to ecosystems.
In summary, biodiversity encompasses the number and types of organisms present on Earth, making option 'A' the correct choice. Understanding this concept is crucial for conservation efforts and maintaining ecological balance.

  • c)
    Poals, Reptilia
  • d)
    Diptera, mammalia
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Swati Iyer answered
Understanding the Classification of Animals
In biological classification, organisms are categorized into different hierarchical groups based on their evolutionary relationships. The two terms in question, "Order" and "Class," refer to specific levels in this taxonomy.
Order: Carnivora
- Carnivora is an order that includes a wide range of animals primarily characterized by their carnivorous diet.
- Members of this order include familiar animals like dogs, cats, bears, and seals. They possess adaptations such as sharp teeth and claws for hunting and consuming prey.
Class: Mammalia
- Mammalia is the class that encompasses all mammals, characterized by features such as hair or fur, mammary glands for nursing young, and a higher degree of brain development.
- Mammals are warm-blooded and usually give live birth, with some exceptions like monotremes (e.g., platypus).
Primate Classification
- Primates, which include humans, monkeys, and apes, are classified under the order Primates within the class Mammalia.
- This classification highlights their shared characteristics, such as flexible limbs, large brains, and social behavior.
Correct Answer Explanation
- The correct answer option 'A' states that "Order… and primate comes under class… Carnivora, Mammalia."
- This option is accurate because while Primates belong to the class Mammalia, Carnivora is another order within the same class. The confusion arises from the relationship between these classifications.
In conclusion, understanding the hierarchical structure of biological classification helps clarify how different organisms relate to one another within the animal kingdom.

When discussing systems of units, it's crucial to know how they relate to fundamental quantities such as mass, length, and time. Let’s break down each system mentioned:
FPS (Foot-Pound-Second)
- This system is based on units of length (foot), mass (pound), and time (second).
- It is primarily used in the United States for everyday measurements.
CGS (Centimeter-Gram-Second)
- This system is based on units of length (centimeter), mass (gram), and time (second).
- It is commonly used in scientific contexts, particularly in physics and chemistry.
MKS (Meter-Kilogram-Second)
- MKS uses the meter for length, kilogram for mass, and second for time.
- It is often used in engineering and scientific applications.
SI (International System of Units)
- The SI system is the modern form of the metric system and includes additional base units beyond just mass, length, and time.
- Key base units include:
- Ampere (electric current)
- Kelvin (temperature)
- Mole (amount of substance)
- Thus, it is not solely based on mass, length, and time.
Conclusion
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' because the SI system incorporates additional fundamental units, making it more comprehensive than just the basic dimensions of mass, length, and time. This distinction highlights the SI system's versatility and its role in scientific standardization globally.

The number of moles of ferrous oxalate oxidised by one mole of KMn04 is
  • a)
    5/2
  • b)
    2/5
  • c)
    3/5
  • d)
    5/3
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Reaction
To determine the number of moles of ferrous oxalate oxidized by one mole of KMnO4, we need to analyze the redox reaction between these substances.
Oxidation and Reduction
- KMnO4 acts as an oxidizing agent in acidic medium, where it gets reduced from Mn(VII) to Mn(II).
- Ferrous oxalate (FeC2O4) is oxidized to ferric ion (Fe3+) and carbon dioxide.
Balanced Chemical Equation
The balanced redox reaction can be represented as:
MnO4- + Fe2+ + C2O4^2- → Mn2+ + Fe3+ + 2CO2
This equation shows that one mole of KMnO4 reacts with ferrous ions (Fe2+) and oxalate ions (C2O4^2-).
Mole Ratio
- From the balanced equation, we observe that:
- 1 mole of KMnO4 reacts with 5 moles of electrons.
- Ferrous oxalate (FeC2O4) donates 2 electrons per mole of Fe2+ and 2 electrons from each mole of C2O4^2-.
Calculating Moles of Ferrous Oxalate
- Since each ferrous oxalate provides 2 moles of electrons, the total electrons involved from ferrous oxalate are:
- 2 moles of electrons from Fe2+ and 2 moles from C2O4^2- contribute to 4 moles of electrons.
To fully balance, it can be concluded that:
- 1 mole of KMnO4 oxidizes 5 moles of ferrous oxalate.
Thus, the number of moles of ferrous oxalate oxidized by one mole of KMnO4 is:
Final Answer
- 5/3 moles (Option D)

Maitri Nambiar answered
Understanding Planck's Constant
Planck's constant (h) is a fundamental constant in quantum mechanics that relates the energy of a photon to its frequency. Its dimensional representation is crucial for understanding its role in various physical phenomena.
Dimensional Formula of Planck's Constant
- Planck's constant has the dimensions of action, which can be expressed as:
- Energy × Time
- The dimensional formula for energy is [M L² T⁻²], and for time, it is [T].
- Therefore, the dimensional representation of Planck's constant is [M L² T⁻¹].
Comparison with Other Physical Quantities
- Let's analyze the dimensional formulas of the options provided to see why angular momentum is the correct answer:
- Torque:
- Dimensional formula: [M L² T⁻²] × [L] = [M L² T⁻²] (not a match)
- Work:
- Dimensional formula: [M L² T⁻²] (not a match)
- Stress:
- Dimensional formula: Force/Area = [M L⁻¹ T⁻²] (not a match)
- Angular Momentum:
- Dimensional formula: [M L² T⁻¹] (this matches with Planck's constant)
Conclusion
- The dimensional representation of Planck's constant is identical to that of angular momentum, confirming that option 'D' is indeed the correct answer. Understanding this relationship helps bridge concepts in quantum mechanics and classical mechanics.
