Lavanya Menon answered |
Given that, A charge q is placed at the centre of open end Q a cylindrical vessel,we have to find the flux through the surface of the vessel.
so, when charge Q is placed at the centre of open end of a cylindrical vessel then only half of the charge will contribute to the flux, because half will lie inside the surface and half will lie outside the surface.
so, flux through the surface of vessel is q/2ε0

EduRev JEE answered |
As surface of area lies in the Y-Z plane, thus its area vector points in X direction i.e. A=10i
Electric flux ϕ=E.A
∴ ϕ=(6i+3j+4k).(10i)
⟹ ϕ=6×10=60 unit
Electric flux ϕ=E.A
∴ ϕ=(6i+3j+4k).(10i)
⟹ ϕ=6×10=60 unit

Contributors to Seminal Plasma
Seminal plasma is the fluid part of semen that carries sperm. It is composed of a mixture of secretions from various male reproductive organs. The following are the contributors of seminal plasma:
(i) Seminal Vesicle - The seminal vesicle is a pair of glands that secrete a fluid that makes up 60-70% of the volume of semen. The fluid contains fructose, prostaglandins, and other substances that provide energy to the sperm and help them survive in the female reproductive tract.
(ii) Prostate - The prostate gland is a single gland located below the bladder that produces a milky fluid that makes up about 15-30% of the volume of semen. The fluid contains enzymes, citric acid, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA), which helps to liquefy semen after ejaculation.
(iii) Urethra - The urethra is a tube that runs through the penis and carries semen and urine out of the body. It contributes a small amount of fluid to the seminal plasma.
(iv) Bulbourethral Gland - The bulbourethral gland, also known as Cowper's gland, is a pair of small glands located at the base of the penis. They secrete a clear fluid that helps to lubricate the urethra and neutralize any acidic urine remaining in the urethra.
Conclusion
In conclusion, seminal plasma is a mixture of secretions from different male reproductive organs, including the seminal vesicle, prostate, urethra, and bulbourethral gland. The various secretions work together to provide energy to the sperm, help them survive in the female reproductive tract, and ensure that the semen can be ejaculated and transported effectively.

Anaya Patel answered |
An isolated conductor is any metal object not connected to or not in contact with any other conductor . one of its common properties is that there is no charge of any nature within the surface of the conductor. All charge, if any, always resides on the outer surface only.thus , if we place any amount of charge, it would tend to reside on its surface.

Swati Verma answered |
The correct answer is Option B.
Molal elevation constant is a characteristic constant for a given solvent. It is the elevation of boiling point produced when one mole of solute is dissolved in 1 kg of solvent. The proportionality constant, Kb, is called the molal boiling point elevation constant. It is a constant that is equal to the change in the boiling point for a 1-molal solution of a nonvolatile molecular solute.

Electric flux is directly proportional to the number of electric field lines passing through a surface. The number of field lines passing through a surface become 1/4th when radius of the Gaussian surface is doubled, but at the same time, the surface area has increased 4 fold, so the electric flux remains unchanged

The correct answer is Option B.
∆Tb =(Kb × 1000 × W2) / M2 × W1
⇒ M2 = (Kb × 1000 × W2) / ∆Tb × W1
= (1.71 × 1000 × 2) / 1 × 100
= 34.2g
∆Tb =(Kb × 1000 × W2) / M2 × W1
⇒ M2 = (Kb × 1000 × W2) / ∆Tb × W1
= (1.71 × 1000 × 2) / 1 × 100
= 34.2g

Rahul Bansal answered |
we know that the flux linked with a Gaussian surface is given as
Φ = E.ds = q/ε0
here,
q = 8.85x10^-8 C
ε0 = 8.85x10^-12 F/m
so,
Φ = 8.85x10^-8 / 8.85x10^-12
thus, flux will be
Φ = 104 Nm^2/C

Srishti Chavan answered |
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'B' which states that Beckmann thermometers are used to measure the elevation in boiling point or depression in freezing point.
Here's a detailed explanation of why this is the correct answer:
Beckmann Thermometer:
A Beckmann thermometer is a type of liquid-in-glass thermometer that is specifically designed to measure small temperature differences accurately. It is named after the German chemist Ernst Otto Beckmann who invented it in the late 19th century.
Measurement of Elevation in Boiling Point or Depression in Freezing Point:
The Beckmann thermometer is primarily used to measure the elevation in boiling point or the depression in freezing point of a solution. This is achieved by comparing the boiling or freezing point of the solution with that of a pure solvent.
Elevation in Boiling Point:
When a solute is added to a solvent, the boiling point of the resulting solution increases. This is known as the elevation in boiling point. The degree of elevation depends on the concentration of the solute. The Beckmann thermometer can accurately measure this elevation in boiling point.
Depression in Freezing Point:
Similarly, when a solute is added to a solvent, the freezing point of the resulting solution decreases. This is known as the depression in freezing point. Again, the degree of depression depends on the concentration of the solute. The Beckmann thermometer can accurately measure this depression in freezing point.
Working Principle of a Beckmann Thermometer:
The Beckmann thermometer consists of a long capillary tube filled with a special liquid, usually mercury. The liquid expands or contracts with temperature changes, and the expansion or contraction is measured by a scale attached to the thermometer.
Calibration:
To use a Beckmann thermometer, it needs to be calibrated. This is done by measuring the temperature difference between the thermometer bulb and the end of the mercury column. This calibration is essential to ensure accurate measurements.
Applications:
The Beckmann thermometer finds applications in various fields, including chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmaceuticals. It is commonly used to determine the molecular weight of substances, as well as to measure the concentration of solutes in solutions.
In conclusion, Beckmann thermometers are specifically designed to measure the elevation in boiling point or depression in freezing point of solutions. This makes them a valuable tool in various scientific disciplines.

The Development of Secondary Sexual Characteristics in Females
Introduction
Secondary sexual characteristics are physical traits that develop during puberty and distinguish males from females. In females, these characteristics include the growth and development of breasts, widening of hips, changes in body fat distribution, and the onset of menstruation. The development of secondary sexual characteristics in females is primarily driven by the hormone estrogen.
Explanation
Estrogen is a primary female sex hormone that plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of female reproductive structures and secondary sexual characteristics. It is produced primarily by the ovaries, although small amounts are also produced by the adrenal glands and fat cells.
Role of Estrogen in the Development of Secondary Sexual Characteristics
Estrogen is responsible for the development of several secondary sexual characteristics in females, including:
1. Breast Development: Estrogen stimulates the growth and development of breast tissue. It promotes the accumulation of fat in the breasts and increases the size and number of mammary glands.
2. Widening of Hips: Estrogen influences the deposition of fat in the hip and thigh regions, leading to an increase in hip width. This contributes to the characteristic feminine body shape.
3. Changes in Body Fat Distribution: Estrogen influences the distribution of body fat, causing it to be stored more in the breasts, hips, and thighs rather than the abdominal region. This leads to a more curvaceous and feminine body shape.
4. Onset of Menstruation: Estrogen plays a crucial role in the development and maturation of the reproductive system, including the uterus and ovaries. It triggers the release of hormones that initiate the menstrual cycle.
5. Softening of Skin: Estrogen contributes to the softness and smoothness of female skin. It promotes the production of collagen, which helps maintain the elasticity and hydration of the skin.
6. Development of Female Reproductive Organs: Estrogen is involved in the growth and development of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and vagina. It helps to regulate the menstrual cycle and prepare the uterus for pregnancy.
Conclusion
The development of secondary sexual characteristics in females is primarily driven by the hormone estrogen. Estrogen is responsible for breast development, widening of hips, changes in body fat distribution, the onset of menstruation, softening of skin, and the development of female reproductive organs. Without estrogen, these characteristics would not develop fully, and the individual would not exhibit the typical traits associated with femininity.
Note: Estrogen levels can vary among individuals, and some individuals may have conditions or disorders that affect estrogen production or response, resulting in variations in the development of secondary sexual characteristics.

The development of secondary sexual characteristics in females is primarily driven by the hormone estrogen. Estrogen is responsible for breast development, widening of hips, changes in body fat distribution, the onset of menstruation, softening of skin, and the development of female reproductive organs. Without estrogen, these characteristics would not develop fully, and the individual would not exhibit the typical traits associated with femininity.
Note: Estrogen levels can vary among individuals, and some individuals may have conditions or disorders that affect estrogen production or response, resulting in variations in the development of secondary sexual characteristics.

**Leydig Cells:**
Leydig cells, also known as interstitial cells of Leydig, are specialized cells found in the interstitial space of the testes. These cells play a crucial role in the production and secretion of androgens, primarily testosterone.
**Location and Function:**
Leydig cells are located in the connective tissue surrounding the seminiferous tubules, which are responsible for sperm production. They are not present within the seminiferous tubules themselves. Therefore, option C, which states that Leydig cells are present in the interstitial space, is the correct answer.
**Androgen Secretion:**
Leydig cells are responsible for the synthesis and secretion of androgens, particularly testosterone. These androgens are crucial for the development and maintenance of male reproductive structures and secondary sexual characteristics. Testosterone plays a vital role in the development of the male reproductive organs, such as the testes and prostate gland, as well as the growth of facial and body hair, deepening of the voice, and muscle development.
**Regulation of Androgen Secretion:**
The secretion of androgens by Leydig cells is regulated by the luteinizing hormone (LH) secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. LH stimulates the production and release of testosterone from Leydig cells. In turn, testosterone negatively regulates the secretion of LH through a negative feedback loop. This mechanism helps maintain optimal levels of testosterone in the body.
**Role in Sperm Maturation:**
While Leydig cells do not directly participate in the maturation of sperm, the androgens they secrete, such as testosterone, play a crucial role in the process. Testosterone is required for the initiation and maintenance of spermatogenesis, the process by which sperms are produced. It supports the maturation of spermatogonia, promotes the division and differentiation of germ cells, and influences the development of spermatozoa.
In conclusion, Leydig cells are present in the interstitial space of the testes and are responsible for the secretion of androgens, particularly testosterone. They play a vital role in the development and maintenance of male reproductive structures and secondary sexual characteristics, as well as in supporting the process of spermatogenesis.

The process of cleavage or cellulation happens through repeated mitotic divisions. These divisions result in cells called blastomeres. The mitotic process is very rapid. As the cleavage progresses the resultant daughter cells, namely the blastomeres get reduced in size. During cleavage, there is no growth in the blastomeres. The total size and volume of the embryo remain the same. The cleavages result in a compact mass of blastomeres called morula. It gets transformed into a blastula. While the wall of the blastula is called the blastoderm, the central cavity is called the blastocoel. Types of cleavages:
Equal holoblastic cleavage - In microlecithal and isolecithal eggs, cleavage leads to the formation of blastomeres of equal size. Eg: Amphioxus and placental mammals.
Unequal holoblastic cleavage - In mesolecithal and telolocithal eggs, cleavage leads to the formation of blastomeres of unequal size. Among the blastomeres, there are many small-sized micromeres and a few large-sized macromeres.

**Cervix is a part between uterus and vagina**
The correct answer is option 'A': Cervix is a part between uterus and vagina. The cervix is a cylindrical-shaped structure that connects the uterus to the vagina. It is located at the lower end of the uterus, and its primary function is to allow the passage of menstrual blood from the uterus to the vagina, as well as to facilitate the entry of sperm into the uterus during sexual intercourse.
The cervix plays several important roles in the female reproductive system, including:
1. **Protective Barrier**: The cervix acts as a protective barrier between the uterus and the vagina, preventing the entry of harmful bacteria and pathogens into the upper reproductive organs.
2. **Mucus Production**: The cervix secretes mucus that changes in consistency throughout the menstrual cycle. This mucus helps in sperm transport, acting as a conduit for sperm to reach the uterus and fallopian tubes for fertilization.
3. **Cervical Os**: The cervix contains a small opening called the cervical os. This opening expands during childbirth to allow the passage of the baby from the uterus to the vagina.
4. **Cervical Length**: The length of the cervix can change during pregnancy. Monitoring cervical length is important in predicting the risk of preterm labor. A shortening cervix may indicate a higher risk of premature birth.
5. **Pap Smear**: The cervix is also the site where cervical cells are collected during a Pap smear. A Pap smear is a screening test used to detect abnormal cervical cells that may indicate the presence of cervical cancer or precancerous conditions.
In summary, the cervix is a crucial anatomical structure that connects the uterus and vagina in females. Its functions include providing a protective barrier, producing mucus, facilitating sperm transport, allowing for childbirth, and serving as the site for cervical cell collection for screening purposes.

Jyoti Sengupta answered |
- Each testicular lobule contains one to three highly coiled seminiferous tubules in which sperms are produced.
- Each seminiferous tubule is lined on its inside by two types of cells called male germ cells (spermatogonia) and Sertoli cells.
- The male germ cells undergo meiotic divisions finally leading to sperm formation, while Sertoli cells provide nutrition to the germ cells.
Hence, the Correct Answer is D

Lead Academy answered |
The finger-like projections called fimbriae play a crucial role in the female reproductive system by aiding in the collection of the ovum after ovulation. These fimbriae help to guide the released egg from the ovary into the fallopian tube, where fertilization typically occurs. This process is essential for the successful transport of the ovum towards the uterus for potential fertilization.
