When a ball is allowed to fall from a height of 20 m, 40% of its energy is lost due to impact. After one impact the ball will go up to a height of
  • a)
    12 m
  • b)
    15 m
  • c)
    8 m
  • d)
    10 m
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Lavanya Menon answered
Before the impact the KE was ½ x m x (2g x 20) = 20mg
And let say v be the velocity after impact and for height h, v2= 2gh
Thus KE = ½ mv2 = ½m2gh = ⅗ x 20mg
Thus we get mgh = 12mg
thus h = 12 m

A bomb of mass 4 kg explodes in air into two pieces of masses 3 kg and 1 kg. The smaller mass goes at a speed of 90 m/s. The total energy imparted to two fragments is.
  • a)
    2.4  kj
  • b)
    5.4 kj
  • c)
    5.9 kJ
  • d)
    3.8 kJ
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Raghav Bansal answered
By conservation of momentum we get the speed of the bigger part let say, v = 1 x90 / 3
Hence we get v = 30
Thus the total KE of the system after collision is ½ (3 X 900 + 1 X 8100)
Thus KE = ½ (10800) = 5400
Now  if we apply WET to the system, as no external force has acted upon it, we get
W = ΔKE
= 5400 - 0
= 5.4 kJ

Select the correct statement(s) about NO2.
  • a)
    It is paramagnetic in nature
  • b)
    It forms dimer and paramagnetic is lost
  • c)
    NO2 and dimer formed have sp2-hybridised N-atom
  • d)
    Brown colour of NO2 fades and (N— N) bond length is greater than normal (N— N) bond length
Correct answer is option 'A,B,C,D'. Can you explain this answer?

Pooja Shah answered

Due to unpaired electron paramagnetic, N-atom in NO2 is electron deficie nt thus, to complete octet, dimer is formed.

In N2O4 formation, each N-atom gets charge. Dipole-dipole repulsion increases (N— N) bond length which is larger than (N— N)covalent bond.

Thus, (a), (b), (c) and (d) are correct. 

Mean bond enthalpy of different bonds are given
Out of the given pairs, which compound is more stable than the other?
  • a)
     
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Knowledge Hub answered
)bond enthalpy > )bond enthalpy hence, is stable.

Bond enthalpy of six (P— P) bond = 6 x 215 = 1290 k j mol-1

Bond enthalpy of six (N — N) bond = 6 x 160
= 960 kJ mol-1
Thus, P4 is more stable than N4.

Which physical quantity is conserved during both elastic and inelastic collision?
  • a)
    Kinetic energy
  • b)
    Potential energy
  • c)
    Linear momentum
  • d)
    Velocity
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Iyer answered
Kinetic energy is conserved in elastic collisions, whereas kinetic energy is converted into other forms of energy during an inelastic collision. In both types of collisions, momentum is conserved.

Considering x-axis as the internuclear axis, which out of the following will not form sigma bond.
  • a)
    1s and 1s
  • b)
    1s and 2px
  • c)
    2py and 2py
  • d)
    1s and 2s
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Anjana Sharma answered
Sigma bond is always formed between two half-filled atomic orbitals along their internuclear axis.i.e the line joining the centres of the nuclei of two atoms(axial overlapping). 2py and 2py will not form a sigma bond because taking x-axis as the internuclear axis, there will be lateral (sideway) overlap between the two 2pv orbitals forming a straight pi bond.

Read the following statements and select the correct option.
Statement 1 : Anatomically, all the tissues present on the inner side of endodermis such as pericyde, vascular bundles and pith constitute the stele.
Statement 2 : Eustele is the stele in which vascular bundles are arranged in the form of a ring as present in dicot stems.
  • a)
    Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect
  • b)
    Both statements 1 and 2 are correct
  • c)
    Statement 1 is incorrect but statement 2 is correct
  • d)
    Both statements 1 and 2 are incorrect
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Vivek Patel answered
The term stele was coined by Van Tiegham and Dauliot (1886). It is the axial portion of plant axis. Anatomically, all the tissues on the innerside of endodermis such as pericyde, vascular bundles and pith constitute the stele. Eustele is the type of stele in which a ring of vascular bundles is present around the central pith and inner to the pericyde e.g., dicot stem. Stele containing irregularly scattered vascular bundles is called atactostele, e.g., monocot stem. Pteridophytes are the first plants possenssing stele.

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

Arpita Nambiar answered
When two atoms approach to form a bond, there is decrease in potential energy (PE). After bond formation, at a minimum distance (called bond length). PE further increases.

A particle of mass m moving with constant velocity v strikes another particle of same mass m but moving with the same velocity v in opposite direction stick together. The joint velocity after collision will be
  • a)
    zero
  • b)
    2v
  • c)
    v
  • d)
    v/2
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Concept:
  1. Momentum: momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. It is a vector quantity, possessing a magnitude and a direction.
  2. The unit of momentum (P) is kg m/s.
  3. Dimension: [MLT-1]
  4. Law of conservation of Momentum: A conservation law stating that the total linear momentum of a closed system remains constant through time, regardless of other possible changes within the system.
  5. P= P2
  6. m1 v1 = m2 v2
  7. Where, P1 = initial momentum of system, P2 = final momentum of system, m1 = mass of first object, v1 = velocity of first object, m= mass of second object and v2 = velocity of second object.
Calculation:
Given:  m1 = m kg,  m2 = m kg,  u= v m/s,  u2 ​=  -v m/s
Let the common velocity of the combined body be V m/s
Mass of combined body      M = m + m = 2m
Applying conservation of momentum:          
mv1 + m2 v2 = M V
mv + (-mv) = 2mV
0 = 2mV
V = 0 m/s
Hence the correct answer will be zero (0) m/s.

Radial and and tangential walls of endodermal cells possess thickenings of lignin, suberin and cutin in the form of strips or bands, which are known as casparian bands or casparian strips.

A moving white hockey puck collides elastically with a stationary red hockey puck on a frictionless horizontal surface. No net external force acts on the two-puck system. Select all of the following statements that must be true for this elastic collision.
1. The kinetic energy of the white puck is conserved (same before and after the collision)
2. The linear momentum of the white puck is conserved.
3. The linear momentum of the two puck system is conserved.
  • a)
    1 and  3 only
  • b)
    1 and 2 only
  • c)
    3 only
  • d)
    1 only
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

  1. In an elastic collision, both kinetic energy and linear momentum are conserved
  2. The white puck is moving and collides with the stationary red puck. Therefore, the kinetic energy of the white puck before the collision is not necessarily conserved individually, but the total kinetic energy of the system (both pucks) is conserved
  3. The linear momentum of the white puck alone is not conserved because it is involved in the collision. However, the total linear momentum of the two-puck system is conserved since there are no external forces acting on it
  4. Based on the analysis:
    • Statement (1) is false because the kinetic energy of the white puck alone is not conserved
    • Statement (2) is false because the linear momentum of the white puck alone is not conserved
    • Statement (3) is true because the linear momentum of the two-puck system is conserved
Thus, the only statement that must be true is statement (3)

Select the incorrect statement regarding the anatomy of a typical monocotyledonous stem.
  • a)
    Phloem parenchyma is absent.
  • b)
    Vascular bundles are scattered, conjoint, collateral and closed.
  • c)
    Each vascular bundle is surrounded by a bundle sheath.
  • d)
    Ground tissue is differentiated into cortex, endodermis, pericyde and pith
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Meghana Datta answered
Incorrect Statement Explanation
The anatomy of a typical monocotyledonous stem has distinct characteristics that differentiate it from dicotyledonous stems. The statement in option 'D' is incorrect because of the following reasons:
Ground Tissue Composition
- In monocots, the ground tissue does not differentiate into distinct regions like cortex, endodermis, pericycle, and pith.
- Instead, the ground tissue is generally homogeneous and lacks the specialized structures found in dicots.
Vascular Bundle Arrangement
- Monocots have scattered vascular bundles throughout the stem, which is a key feature.
- Each vascular bundle is composed of xylem and phloem, arranged in a conjoint, collateral, and closed manner.
Bundle Sheath Presence
- Each vascular bundle is surrounded by a bundle sheath, which is a layer of cells that can help in the transport and support of the vascular tissue.
Absence of Phloem Parenchyma
- In monocots, phloem parenchyma is typically absent, which is another distinguishing feature when compared to dicots.
In summary, the ground tissue in monocot stems lacks the differentiation into cortex, endodermis, pericycle, and pith, making option 'D' the incorrect statement regarding the anatomy of a typical monocotyledonous stem.

  • c)
    sclerechymatous, parenchymatous
  • d)
    collenchymatous, sclerenchymatous
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Nitya Kaur answered
Understanding Bundle Sheath Extensions
Bundle sheath extensions are specialized structures in plant leaves that play a crucial role in the transportation of nutrients and water. Their composition varies between dicots and monocots.
Dicot Leaves: Parenchymatous Extensions
- In dicot leaves, the bundle sheath extensions are primarily composed of parenchyma cells.
- Parenchyma is a fundamental tissue, which is soft, flexible, and involved in storage, photosynthesis, and tissue repair.
- The parenchymatous nature allows for efficient gas exchange and storage of photosynthetic products.
Monocot Leaves: Sclerenchymatous Extensions
- In contrast, monocot leaves have sclerenchyma cells in their bundle sheath extensions.
- Sclerenchyma provides strength and rigidity to the plant due to its thick cell walls, often made of lignin.
- This structural support is crucial in monocots, which often have elongated leaves and require additional strength to withstand environmental stresses.
Conclusion
- The correct answer to the question is option B: parenchymatous in dicots and sclerenchymatous in monocots.
- Understanding the differences in bundle sheath extensions helps in comprehending the adaptive strategies of various plant types in their environments.
This differentiation is essential for students preparing for competitive exams like NEET, as it highlights the functional diversity of plant tissues.

Ajay Yadav answered
The epidermis of dicot stem bears several unbranched multicellular hair or trichomes. The hypodermis is made of 3−4 layered sub-epidermal collenchyma tissue. Vascular strand is in the form of eustele or a ring of vascular bundles present around the central pith and inner to the pericycle.

Select the correct pair out of the follwing.
  • a)
    Hypostomatic leaf - Dicots
  • b)
    Epistomatic leaf - Monocots
  • c)
    Amphistomatic leaf - Free-floating hydrophytes
  • d)
    Presence of sunken stomata in leaf - Submerged hydrophytes
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Ajay Yadav answered
In dicot leaves, stomata are generally present on lower epiderm is (hypostomatic), whereas in monocot leaves, they are present on both the surfaces (amphistomatic). In free -floating hydrophytes, stomata are restricted to upper epidermis (epistomatic) whereas in submerged hydrophytes, stomata are either non-functional or ab sent. In algae and fungi, stomata are totally absent. Stomata are sunken (deepseated) in case of xerophytes.

In a dorsiventral leaf, location of palisade tissue and phloem is respectively on the______ surfaces.
  • a)
    adaxial and abaxial
  • b)
    adaxial and adaxial
  • c)
    abaxial and adaxial
  • d)
    abaxial and abaxial
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Roshni Basak answered
Explanation:

Dorsiventral Leaf:
A dorsiventral leaf is a type of leaf that exhibits two distinct surfaces - adaxial (upper) and abaxial (lower) surfaces. This type of leaf is commonly found in dicotyledonous plants.

Location of Palisade Tissue:
- The palisade tissue is typically located on the adaxial surface of the leaf.
- Palisade tissue is responsible for photosynthesis and is composed of elongated cells arranged parallel to the leaf surface to maximize light absorption.

Location of Phloem:
- The phloem, which is involved in the transport of organic compounds such as sugars, is usually located on the abaxial surface of the leaf.
- The phloem is part of the vascular tissue system in plants, along with the xylem.
Therefore, in a dorsiventral leaf, the palisade tissue is located on the adaxial surface (upper surface), while the phloem is located on the abaxial surface (lower surface). This arrangement allows for efficient photosynthesis and transport of nutrients throughout the leaf.

    Select the mismatched pair
    • a)
      Collateral and open vascular - Sunflower stem bundles
    • b)
      Bicollateral vascular bundles - Maize stem
    • c)
      Concentric vascular bundles - Ferns
    • d)
      Radial vascular bundles - Maize root
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Aditya Yadav answered
    Explanation:

    Bicollateral vascular bundles - Maize stem:
    In maize stem, the vascular bundles are arranged in a bicollateral manner, meaning there are two separate vascular cambia present in the stem that produce xylem and phloem inwards and outwards. This arrangement is unique to maize stems and helps in the efficient transport of water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant.

    Collateral and open vascular - Sunflower stem bundles:
    Sunflower stem bundles have collateral and open vascular bundles, where the xylem and phloem are located adjacent to each other in the same vascular bundle. The structure of these bundles allows for easy exchange of substances between xylem and phloem, aiding in the growth and development of the plant.

    Concentric vascular bundles - Ferns:
    Ferns have concentric vascular bundles, where xylem is surrounded by phloem in a circular arrangement. This type of vascular bundle arrangement is characteristic of ferns and helps in the efficient transport of water, minerals, and organic compounds throughout the plant.

    Radial vascular bundles - Maize root:
    In maize roots, the vascular bundles are arranged in a radial manner, with xylem and phloem alternating around the central core. This radial arrangement allows for efficient nutrient and water uptake from the soil and transport throughout the root system.
    Therefore, the mismatched pair in the given options is "Bicollateral vascular bundles - Maize stem" as maize stems indeed have bicollateral vascular bundles.

    Where is the phloem usually located in conjoint vascular bundles found in stems and leaves?
    • a)
      Along different radii
    • b)
      Within cambium
    • c)
      Inner side of xylem
    • d)
      Outer side of xylem
    Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

    In conjoint vascular bundles, which are common in stems and leaves, the phloem is typically located on the outer side of the xylem. This arrangement ensures efficient transport of food (sugars produced in the leaves) through the phloem, which is situated closer to the outer part of the stem or leaf where sugars are needed for growth or storage.

    Refer the given figure which represents a section of vascular bundle as seen in T.S. of a monocot stem and select the option that correctly labels A, B, C and D.
    • a)
      a
    • b)
      b
    • c)
      c
    • d)
      d
    Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

    Mira Joshi answered
    A monocot stem lacks secondary growth. The vascular bundles are oval or rounded in outline. They contain both phloem and xylem. Phloem lies towards the outside and the xylem on the inner side. Cambium is absent as the whole procambium is consumed in the formation of vascular tissues. Xylem is in the form of letter Y. It is endarch, i.e., protoxylem lies towards the centre of the stem. Xylem is made up of vessels, tracheids, xylem parenchyma and a few xylem fibres. Metandem generally consists of two large oval or rounded vessels lying at the upper two angles of xylem. Protoxylem cavity is present at the end of protoxylem vessels. 

    Stele includes
    • a)
      pericycle
    • b)
      vascular bundles
    • c)
      pith
    • d)
      all of these
    Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

    Ajay Yadav answered
    Word 'stele' is taken from Greek language, which means 'pillar'. Stele consists of pericycle, vascular bundles (xylem and phloem) and pith (if present).
