Two stones of different masses are thrown vertically upward with same initial velocity. Which one will rise to a greater height ?
  • a)
    Stone of lower mass
  • b)
    Stone of higher mass
  • c)
    Both will rise to the same height
  • d)
    Information given is insufficient
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Sushil Kumar answered
If we write the equation of motion for both the masses and derive a simple equation to find the maximum vertical height let say H, we get for any particle for some mass m,
H = v2 / 2a
Where a is gravitational acceleration and v is vertical speed. Thus as H does not depend upon m, we get both particles would have equal maximum height.

A ball is thrown vertically upward. At the highest point in its path, which of the following statements is correct?
  • a)
    The velocity is zero and the acceleration is pointing down
  • b)
    The velocity and acceleration are both zero
  • c)
    The acceleration is zero and the velocity is pointing up
  • d)
    The acceleration is zero and the velocity is pointing down
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Geetika Shah answered
Until and unless the velocity of any object comes to zero, any peek in its displacement-time graph can’t be achieved. Which means for the height to be maximised the velocity must become zero. And any time of this motion the acceleration is always a constant downward due to gravity.

Energy change associated per mole of atoms with an atomic transition giving rise to radiations of  What is the value of x?
    Correct answer is '4'. Can you explain this answer?

    Naina Sharma answered
    Energy = n.hv
    where,
    n = 1 mole or 6.023 × 1023 atoms
    h = 6.626×10-34 J.sec
    v (frequancy) = 1 Hz
    ⇒ E = 6.023 ×1023 × 6.626×10-34 × 1 = 3.91 × 10-10
    so approximately value of x = 4.

    Option B: Radiowaves, microwaves, X-rays, and visible light are part of the Electromagnetic radiation spectrum.
    Option C: Some of the radiations are absorbed in the atmosphere, hence the spectrum differs.
    Option D: Ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet radiation.
    Hence, options A, B, C, and D are correct.

    HIV attack :-
    • a)
      Epithelial cell
    • b)
      Sex cell  germinal cells
    • c)
      B - lymphocytes
    • d)
      T4 - lymphocytes
    Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

    Hitakshi Tamta answered
    HIV attack and destroy T4 - lymphocytes also known as CD4 cells, are white blood cells that fight infection and play an important role in your immune system. If too many CD4 cells are lost, your immune system will have trouble fighting off infections. Even a minor infection such as cold can be much more severe because the body has difficulty responding to new infections.

    The kinematic equation of motion v = u+at is not applicable if :
    • a)
      Displacement is not constant
    • b)
      motion is non-uniform.
    • c)
      acceleration is not constant
    • d)
      velocity is not constant
    Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

    Yash Ghoshal answered
    Explanation:

    The kinematic equation of motion v = u + at is one of the four equations of motion which are used to describe the motion of an object under constant acceleration. The equation shows the relationship between the initial velocity (u), acceleration (a), time (t), and final velocity (v) of an object. However, this equation is not applicable if the acceleration is not constant.

    Constant acceleration means that the rate of change of velocity is constant. If the acceleration is not constant, then the rate of change of velocity is changing, and the equation v = u + at does not hold true for the entire motion.

    For example, if an object is moving in a circular path, its acceleration changes direction at every point, and hence, the acceleration is not constant. In this case, the kinematic equation cannot be used to describe the motion of the object.

    Similarly, if an object is thrown vertically upwards, the acceleration of the object changes as it moves upwards and then downwards due to the force of gravity. Hence, the kinematic equation v = u + at cannot be used to describe the entire motion of the object.

    Conclusion:

    In conclusion, the kinematic equation of motion v = u + at is not applicable if the acceleration is not constant, and the rate of change of velocity is changing. The equation is valid only for objects that are moving under constant acceleration. Hence, before using this equation to solve any problem, it is important to check whether the acceleration is constant or not.

    **Interferons and their synthesis in response to viruses**

    **Introduction:**
    Interferons are a group of small proteins that play a crucial role in the immune response against viral infections. They are synthesized and released by host cells in response to viral invasion. Interferons act as signaling molecules, allowing cells to communicate with each other and coordinate their antiviral defenses.

    **Synthesis of Interferons:**
    Interferons are synthesized in response to viral infections by infected host cells. The synthesis of interferons is triggered by the detection of viral components or the activation of specific cellular pathways involved in antiviral defense.

    **Viral Infections and Interferon Synthesis:**
    When a virus infects a host cell, it releases its genetic material (either DNA or RNA) into the host cell. The viral genetic material is recognized by specific cellular sensors called pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which are present in the host cell cytoplasm or on the cell surface.

    **Activation of Cellular Pathways:**
    The recognition of viral genetic material by PRRs activates specific cellular pathways, such as the Toll-like receptor (TLR) pathway or the retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptor (RLR) pathway. These pathways lead to the activation of transcription factors, such as interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB).

    **Transcription and Translation of Interferons:**
    The activated transcription factors bind to specific DNA sequences in the promoter regions of interferon genes, leading to their transcription. The transcribed interferon mRNA is then translated into interferon protein in the cytoplasm.

    **Release and Action of Interferons:**
    Once synthesized, interferons are released by the infected host cell and bind to specific receptors on neighboring cells. This binding activates a signaling cascade within the recipient cells, leading to the induction of antiviral defense mechanisms. These mechanisms include the upregulation of genes involved in the inhibition of viral replication and the activation of immune cells, such as natural killer (NK) cells and macrophages, to eliminate virus-infected cells.

    **Conclusion:**
    In summary, interferons are synthesized in response to viral infections. The detection of viral genetic material by cellular sensors triggers specific cellular pathways, leading to the synthesis and release of interferons. These interferons then act as signaling molecules, coordinating the immune response against viral infections.

    Direction (Q. Nos. 1-8) This section contains 8 multiple choice questions. Each question has four choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), out of which ONLY ONE option is correct.
     
    Q. FM radio broadcasts at 900 kHz. What wavelength does this corresponds to?
    • a)
      333 m
    • b)
      3.03 x 10-3m
    • c)
      330 m
    • d)
      3300 m
    Correct answer is 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

    Understanding FM Radio Frequency and Wavelength
    FM radio broadcasts at a frequency of 900 kHz. To find the corresponding wavelength, we can use the formula that relates frequency and wavelength in a vacuum:
    Formula for Wavelength
    Wavelength (λ) = Speed of Light (c) / Frequency (f)
    Where:
    - Speed of Light (c) ≈ 3 x 10^8 meters per second
    - Frequency (f) = 900 kHz = 900,000 Hz (since 1 kHz = 1,000 Hz)
    Calculating the Wavelength
    Using the values:
    - λ = (3 x 10^8 m/s) / (900,000 Hz)
    - λ = (3 x 10^8) / (9 x 10^5)
    - λ = 333.33 meters
    Thus, the wavelength that corresponds to a frequency of 900 kHz is approximately 333 meters.
    Conclusion
    So, the correct answer to the question is:
    - Option (a): 333 m
    This calculation illustrates how the frequency of radio waves is inversely related to their wavelength; as frequency increases, wavelength decreases.

    Bacteriophage is similar to a fungus & bacterium in having :-
    • a)
      RNA as the genetic material
    • b)
      DNA as the genetic material
    • c)
      Cell wall
    • d)
      Similar in reproduction
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Mission 2021 answered
    DNA and RNA are the genetic materials out of which DNA universally serves as the carrier of hereditary information from one generation to another in all the organisms except viruses. Among viruses, some carry DNA (either single or double stranded) as hereditary material while some have RNA (either single or double stranded) as hereditary material. But they never have both DNA and RNA. Bacteriophages are DNA viruses thus they resemble fungi in having DNA as herditary material.

      angular  acceleration
    Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

    Geetika Shah answered
    1. Linear momentum is not constant but angular momentum is
    2. Speed has to be constant for “uniform” circular motion
    3. For obvious reasons ω is constant
    4. And the same goes for α

    Which of the following pathogenic diseases could have symptoms like mosaic formation, leaf rolling and curling, yellowing and vein clearing, dwarfing, and stunted growth?
    • a)
      Viroid
    • b)
      Viral
    • c)
      Caused by prions
    • d)
      Fungal
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Mahi Menon answered
    Understanding Viral Diseases in Plants
    Viral infections in plants often lead to a range of symptoms that can significantly affect their health and growth. The symptoms you mentioned—mosaic formation, leaf rolling and curling, yellowing and vein clearing, dwarfing, and stunted growth—are characteristic of viral infections. Here's a detailed explanation:
    Common Symptoms of Viral Infections:
    - Mosaic Formation: This symptom appears as a patchy discoloration on leaves, resulting from uneven chlorophyll distribution caused by viral replication.
    - Leaf Rolling and Curling: Viruses can disrupt normal cellular function, leading to abnormal growth patterns in leaves, resulting in curling or rolling.
    - Yellowing and Vein Clearing: Viruses often interfere with the plant's ability to produce chlorophyll, causing yellowing. Vein clearing occurs when the virus affects the vascular tissues, leading to less chlorophyll around the veins.
    - Dwarfing and Stunted Growth: Viral infections can impair the overall growth of the plant by affecting hormone balance and nutrient uptake, leading to reduced size and vigor.
    Why Other Options are Less Likely:
    - Viroids: These are smaller infectious agents that primarily affect plants but do not typically cause the wide range of symptoms seen in viral infections.
    - Prions: These are misfolded proteins associated with diseases in animals, particularly in the nervous system, and are not known to infect plants.
    - Fungal Infections: While they can cause some similar symptoms like stunted growth, they usually present different signs such as mold or fungal structures.
    In conclusion, the symptoms listed are most indicative of a viral disease, making option 'B' the correct answer. Understanding these symptoms is crucial for diagnosing and managing plant health effectively.

    Select the incorrect statement about cathode rays.
    • a)
      They travel from cathode to anode
    • b)
      They travel in a straight line in the absence of an external electrical or magnetic field
    • c)
      Their nature is independent of the materials of cathode
    • d)
      Their nature is dependent on the nature of the gas present
    Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

    Amrita Sarkar answered
    (a) Cathode rays travel from cathode (source) to anode. True
    (b) In the absence of these fields, they are not deflected but in the presence of electrical field, they are deflected indicating that they are charged. Thus, True
    (c) Their nature is independent of the material of cathode. True
    (d) Their nature is independent of the nature of the gas.
    Thus, given statement is false.

    Which of the following is not correctly paired ?
    • a)
      Inert Crystals - Virus
    • b)
      Free RNA - Viroids
    • c)
      Normal protein - Prions
    • d)
      Symbionts - Lichen
    Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

    Pooja Desai answered
    Understanding Inert Crystals and Viruses
    Inert crystals, like viruses, are non-living entities. Viruses are composed of genetic material (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat, and they require a host to replicate.
    Free RNA and Viroids
    Viroids are small, infectious RNA molecules that lack a protein coat. They are known to cause diseases in plants and consist solely of free RNA.
    Normal Protein and Prions
    Prions are misfolded proteins that can induce other normal proteins to misfold, leading to neurodegenerative diseases. Thus, this pairing is incorrect because a normal protein does not exhibit prion characteristics under normal conditions.
    Symbionts and Lichens
    Lichens are symbiotic associations between fungi and photosynthetic partners, typically algae or cyanobacteria. This pairing is correct as it reflects the mutualistic relationship present in lichens.
    Conclusion
    Thus, the correct answer is option 'C' because normal proteins do not behave like prions until they undergo misfolding. This distinction is crucial in understanding prion diseases, which are distinct from regular protein functions.

    Select the correct statement -
    • a)
      Viriods are similar in size to viruses
    • b)
      Lichens are examples of parasitism.
    • c)
      Prions are different in size to viruses
    • d)
      Prions are similar in size to viruses
    Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

    Nishtha Shah answered
    Understanding Prions and Viruses
    Prions and viruses are both pathogenic entities, but they differ in many aspects, including their structure, replication methods, and the diseases they cause. However, when it comes to size, they are indeed similar.
    Comparison of Sizes
    - Prions: These are misfolded proteins that can induce other proteins to misfold, leading to neurodegenerative diseases. They are typically in the range of 10 to 100 nanometers in size.
    - Viruses: Viruses are much more complex structures that include genetic material (DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein coat. They range from about 20 to 300 nanometers.
    Given that both prions and viruses fall within a similar size range, it can be said that they are comparable in size. Thus, the assertion that "Prions are similar in size to viruses" is accurate.
    Reasons for the Correctness of Option D
    - Size Overlap: Both prions and viruses measure in nanometers, making them comparable in size.
    - Pathogenic Nature: While they behave differently biologically, their size allows them to interact with cellular structures similarly, which is crucial for their pathogenicity.
    - Misconceptions: Often, prions are misunderstood due to their protein nature, but their size similarity to viruses is a key point of consideration in microbiology.
    In conclusion, option 'D' accurately reflects the relationship in size between prions and viruses, reinforcing the idea that while they are fundamentally different entities, they share similarities in their dimensions.

      π N/60
    • b)
      2 π N/60
    • c)
      π N/120
    • d)
      π N/180
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Shreya Gupta answered
    Angular velocity is defined as the rate of change of angular displacement with respect to time. It is usually expressed by a Greek letter ω (omega).
    Mathematically, angular velocity,
    ω =dθ/dt
    If a body is rotating at the rate of N r.p.m. (revolutions per minute), then its angular velocity,
    ω = 2πΝ / 60 rad/s

    • c)
      Most of the space in the atom is empty
    • d)
      Electrons move in a circular path of fixed energy. Circular paths are called orbits
    Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

    (a) Electrons (-) and nucleus (+) are held togeather by electrostatic forces of attractions. Thus. true.
    (b) Radius of the atom (= 10-10m) > radiue of the nucleus (10-15m). Thus true
    (c) Most of the space is empty as given by radius of the nucleus and atom. Thus, true.
    (d) As electron moves in a circular paith, it emits energy and ultimately false into nucleus. Thus, false.

    A hypothetical electromagnetic wave is pictured here.
    Q. A standing wave in a string 42 cm long has a total of six nodes (including those at the ends). Wavelength of the standing wave is
    • a)
      7.0 cm
    • b)
      16.8 cm
    • c)
      10.5 cm
    • d)
      5.25 cm
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Ayush Joshi answered
    If there are 6 nodes, then there are 5 segments between nodes, and the wavelength of the underlying wave is 2 of those (because they look similar when they’re moving but if you freeze-frame, every second one is the opposite direction), so I make it 2*42/5 = 16.8 cm.
