Solutions

S1.Ans. (c)
Sol. Connective tissues are named so because of their special functions of linking and supporting other tissues/organs of the body. They range from soft connective tissues to specialised types, which include cartilage, bone, adipose, blood and lymph.

S2.Ans. (c)
Sol. Proline is an a-amino acid, one of the twenty DNA– encoded amino acids. L–Proline is an osmoprotectant and therefore is used in many pharmaceutical, biotechnological applications.

S3.Ans. (a)
Sol. The replication of DNA is a pre-requisite for a eukaryotic cell to undergo division. During the cell cycle, the DNA replicates in S phase (synthesis phase).

S4.Ans. (c)
Sol. The flavour of apples is mainly due to the ethanol (C2H5OH).

S5.Ans. (d)
Sol. Nail varnish remover generally contains acetone (CH3COCH3).

S6.Ans. (a)
Sol. Vanaspati ghee is manufactured from vegetable oil by a process called ‘hydrogenation’. By passing hydrogen gas. Vegetable Oil contains unsaturated fatty acids; upon hydrogenation it is converted into saturated fatty acids to form vanaspati ghee.

S7.Ans. (e)
Sol. Liquefied Petroleum Gas or LPG consists mainly of propane, propylene, butane, and butylene in various combinations. It is produced as a by-product of natural gas processing and petroleum refining.

S8.Ans. (c)
Sol. The thermodynamic state of a system is defined by specifying values of a set of measurable properties sufficient to determine all other properties. The thermodynamic variables in case of a gas are pressure, temperature, and volume in addition to number of moles.

S9.Ans. (a)
Sol. One nanometre is 1 × 10–9 m. It is also defined as equal to 10 Ao.

S10.Ans. (c)
Sol. Newton’s 2nd Law – The rate of Change of momentum always acts in the direction of resultant force acting on a body = (F = ma) (where m = mass; a = aceeleration)
