• Heparin, Urea, and Bile Juice are produced in the liver.
• The major supply of blood to the liver is by 'portal vein'(75%) & remaining (25%) by Hepatic artery.
• That is why the liver is known to have a 'Dual blood supply'.
  

The correct answer is 17th.

• The Halogens are the elements belonging to Group 17 in the periodic table.

• A periodic table is an arrangement of elements based on their atomic numbers and chemical properties.
• It is divided into 18 groups and 7 periods running vertically and horizontally respectively.
• The periodic table accommodates a discrete combination of metal, non-metals, and metalloids.
• The elements in the periodic table are arranged horizontally in ascending order of their atomic numbers known as periods.
• Vertically the elements having identical chemical properties are clubbed together known as groups.
• The 18 groups are also known as columns and the 7 periods are also known as the rows.

Explanation:

Periods:

• Elements are arranged in increasing the atomic number of elements in a period.
• One extra electron gets added to the outermost shell as we move along the periods from left to right.
• The electron gets added to the same shell or orbit and thus the electrons present for bonding increase by one unit.
• Thus, the shell number remains the same but the number of electrons present for bonding increases along a period.

Groups:

• Elements having the same number of outer electrons are put in the same group of the periodic table.
• When we move down a group, new shells get added.
• The outermost shell has electrons present for bonding.
• Though the number of shells increases as we go down in a group, the number of electrons in the outermost shell remains the same.
• For example, the Halogens F, Cl, Br, I, At all belong to group 17 and have 7 electrons in the outermost shell.
• Similarly, Group 16 elements have 6 electrons in the outermost shell, group 15 has 5 electrons in the outermost shell, and so on.

Hence, group 17 is called halogens.

• Group 1 elements in the Periodic table are known as Alkali metals
• They have ns1 outermost configuration and belong to the S-block Elements.
• They also have a strong tendency to donate their valence electrons in the outermost shell to form strong ionic bonds.
• It contains elements from Lithium (Li) to Francium (Fr).

The correct answer is Cellulose.

• Plant cell walls are primarily made of cellulose.

Key Points

• Cellulose is the most abundant macromolecule on Earth.
  • Cellulose fibers are long, linear polymers of hundreds of glucose molecules.
  • These fibres aggregate into bundles of about 40, which are called microfibrils.

Additional Information

• Carbohydrates are the sugars, starches, and fibres found in fruits, grains, vegetables, and milk products.
  • A carbohydrate is a biomolecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) atoms.
• Lipids are molecules that contain hydrocarbons and make up the building blocks of the structure and function of living cells.
  • A lipid is a biomolecule that is soluble in nonpolar solvents.
• A lipoprotein is a biochemical assembly whose primary function is to transport hydrophobic lipid also known as fat molecules in water, as in blood plasma or other extracellular fluids.
  • It consists of a Triglyceride and Cholesterol centre, surrounded by a phospholipid outer shell, with the hydrophilic portions oriented outward towards the surrounding water and lipophilic portions oriented inward toward the lipid centre.
