Raghav Bansal answered
a) BaCl2 + H2SO4 → BaSO4 + 2HCl is not a redox reaction, as there is no change in the oxidation state of any element.
It is an example of double displacement reactions.

Oxidation numbers of P in PO4−3, of S in SO42− and that of Cr in Cr2O72− are respectively,

    +3, +6 and +5
  • c)
    +5, +3 and +6               
  • d)
    -3, +6 and +6
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Raghav Bansal answered
The correct answer is option A
(I) xPO43−​ ⇒ x + 4 × (−2) = −3
                ⇒x = −3 + 8 = +5
                ⇒x = +5
Oxidation number of P = +5
(II) xSO42−​ ⇒ x + 4 × (−2) = −2
                ⇒x = −2 + 8
                  ⇒x = +6
Oxidation number of S=+6
(III) xCr2​O72− ​    ⇒2x + 7 × (−2) = −2
                        ⇒2x =−2+14
                        ⇒2x=12
                        ⇒x= 12/2​ = +6

When an air bubble of radius R lies at a depth h below the free surface of a liquid of density ρ and surface tension Sla, then the excess pressure inside the bubble will be
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Excess pressure inside a cavity or air bubble in liquid formula
P[excess] = P[inside] - P [outside]
P [outside]  =P[atm]
P[inside]= P[atm] +hpg [here p represents density] +2T/R
P[excess] = P[atm] +hpg [here p represents density] +2T/R-P[atm]
P[excess] = hpg+2T/R
Now substitute value for T
P[excess] = hpg+2S/R
Hence C is correct.

Respiration is an oxidative process in which repiratory substrates are oxidised to liberate energy inside the living cells. The common respiratory substrates are carbohydrates, proteins, fats and organic acids. The most common respiratory substrates are carbohydrates, proteins, fats and organic acids. The most common respiratory substrate is glucose.

    Infinity
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Suresh Iyer answered
In anaerobic respiration, there is no consumption of oxygen and carbon dioxide is produced in most of the cases. Therefore, respiratory quotient is infinity. Carb the usual substarte.

Identify the step in tricarboxylic acid cycle, which does not involve oxidation of substrate?
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sravya Sarkar answered
Understanding the TCA Cycle Step
The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, is a crucial metabolic pathway involved in cellular respiration. Among its various steps, one specific reaction does not involve the oxidation of the substrate.
Step Analysis
In the context of the options provided, we analyze each step:
- a) Succinic acid → Malic Acid
- This step involves the oxidation of succinic acid to fumaric acid, followed by hydration to malic acid.
- b) Succinyl-CoA → Succinic acid
- This step is a substrate-level phosphorylation. Here, succinyl-CoA is converted to succinic acid, resulting in the production of GTP (or ATP). Importantly, there is no transfer of electrons or oxidation occurring in this step.
- c) Isocitrate → α-Ketoglutaric acid
- This reaction involves the oxidation of isocitrate, resulting in the production of α-ketoglutaric acid and the reduction of NAD+ to NADH.
- d) Malic acid → Oxaloacetic Acid
- In this step, malic acid is oxidized to oxaloacetic acid, generating NADH in the process.
Conclusion
The correct answer is option B: Succinyl-CoA → Succinic acid. This step is unique as it does not involve oxidation but rather a direct conversion facilitated by substrate-level phosphorylation, making it a key differentiator from the other steps in the TCA cycle.

By which phenomenon does the water rise from roots to leaves of plants?
  • a)
    Capillary action
  • b)
    Surface Tension
  • c)
    Bernoulli’s Theorem
  • d)
    Viscosity
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Arun Khanna answered
Plants use capillary action to bring water from the soil up through capillaries, small tubes in the plants, to the rest of the plant. Due to gravity, capillary action is not strong enough for the water to travel to the top of the plant. Another process, transpiration pull does the rest of the work.

If drops and bubbles do not collapse under the effect of gravity, it indicates that
  • a)
    pressure inside the drop is greater than outside
  • b)
    pressure inside the drop is lower than outside it
  • c)
    Surface tension is low
  • d)
    Viscosity is large

Bhawna Mehta answered
If drops and bubbles do not collapse under the effect of gravity, it indicates that the pressure inside the drop is greater than the pressure outside. The greater inner pressure prevents the drop from collapsing. 

The value of respiratory Quotient actually depends upon
  • a)
    The type of respiratory substrate used
  • b)
    The place in which respiration is occurring
  • c)
    The amount of ventilation
  • d)
    Breathing surface
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

The correct answer is: (a) The type of respiratory substrate used
The Respiratory Quotient (RQ) is the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide (CO₂) produced to the volume of oxygen (O₂) consumed during respiration. Its value depends primarily on the type of respiratory substrate being metabolized:
  • Carbohydrates: RQ = 1 (equal amounts of O₂ consumed and CO₂ produced).
  • Fats: RQ < 1 (more O₂ consumed than CO₂ produced).
  • Proteins: RQ ≈ 0.8 (less O₂ consumed than CO₂ produced).
Other factors, such as location or ventilation, do not directly determine the RQ.
