Etymology is the study of origin of words; similarly Cosmology is study of origin of Universe.

The correct answer is Mode of Nutrition.

• In 1969, R.H. Whittaker introduced the five-kingdom system of classification.
• In the five-kingdom system, the basis of classification is the complexity of cell structure, physical organization, nutrition method, and life cycle.
• Aristotle firstly divided the living world into two groups, namely, flora and fauna.
• After that, in his book 'Systema Naturae', Linnaeus classified all animals into plants and animals.
• Linnaeus is called the 'father of modern classification system'.

Additional Information

• Whittaker classified all creatures in the following five kingdoms -

1. Kingdom Monera-
   • ​​This world consists of prokaryotic organisms ie Bacteria, Cyanobacteria, and Archaebacteria.
2. Kingdom Protista-

• This world consists of unicellular eukaryotic organisms. Yuglina, which is situated between plants and animals, is included in this world.

3. Kingdom Fungi-

• This includes organisms dependent on parasites and dead food for food. Their cell wall is made of chitin.

4. Plant World (Kingdom Plantae)-

• This world consists of algae and multicellular green plants.

5. Kingdom Animal-

• This includes all multicellular animals. It is also called 'Metazoa'.

The correct answer is A solid in gas.

Concept:

• A system made up of a substance distributed or scattered as minute particles of solid droplets of a liquid or extremely tiny bubbles of gas into the body of another substance is called a dispersion system.
• A dispersion system is a two-phase system.
• The distributed substance is called the dispersed phase and the continuous medium around it is called the dispersion medium.
• Depending upon the particle size of the dispersed phase, the dispersion system may be classified as 1. True solutions 2. Colloidal solutions 3. Suspensions.

Explanation:

Classification of colloids based on the type of phases:

• The colloidal system is heterogeneous in nature and consists of two phases called the dispersion medium and the dispersed phase.
• The component that is present in a small amount and behaves like a solute is called the dispersed phase and the component present in excess is called dispersion medium.
• Depending on the nature of dispersed phase and dispersion medium, colloids can be classified as:

• From the above table, it is clear that smoke contains solid particles suspended in the gaseous phase.
• Hence, smoke is a dispersion of solid in gas.

Important Points

• Gas in the gas phase is true solution. 

The correct answer is Sodium carbonate.

Key Points

• A toothpaste is defined as a semi-solid material for removing naturally occurring deposits from teeth and is supposed to be used simultaneously with a toothbrush.
• Toothpaste generally contains the following components:
  • Water (20–40%)
  • Abrasives (50%) including aluminum hydroxide, calcium hydrogen phosphates, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, silica, and hydroxyapatite.
  • Fluoride (usually 1450 ppm) mainly in the form of sodium fluoride.
