Question Discussion & Solution

The image is flipped horizontally.

Hence, option 4 is the mirror image of the given image.

Food chain: 

• A food chain shows the feeding relationship between different organisms in a particular environment and/or habitat.
• A food chain shows how energy is passed from the sun to producers, from producers to consumers, and from consumers to decomposes such as fungi.
• They also show how animals depend on other organisms for food.
• A simplified food web illustrating a three-trophic food chain (producers-herbivores-carnivores) linked to decomposers.

Key Points

Food Web: 

• A food web is similar to a food chain, but the food web is significantly larger.
• Occasionally, a single organism is eaten by a large number of predators, or it consumes a number of other species.
• As a result, several trophic levels become intertwined, and the food chain fails to accurately depict the flow of resources.
• The food chains are very simple and hence, do not exist in reality, 
• Rather, an interconnection of many food chains is seen in nature or in our ecosystem that forms a food web.
• The energy flow is multidirectional.
• In a food web, one organism takes place at different trophic levels in different food chains (which combine to form a complex food web).
• It gives greater stability to the ecosystem.

​Thus, a group of interconnected food chains is called a food web.

Additional Information

Pyramid of Biomass:

• A biomass pyramid is a diagram that compares the biomass of different trophic levels within an ecosystem.
• It shows the mass of producers that are needed to support primary consumers, the mass of primary consumers required to support secondary consumers, and so on.

The correct answer is Accumulator.

Key Points

• An accumulator is a type of register present in a CPU (Central Processing Unit).
• It works as a temporary storage location that keeps an intermediate value in logical and mathematical calculations.
• Intermediate results of execution are progressively stored in the accumulator, replacing the previous value.

Additional Information

• An IR (Instruction Register) saves machine instruction that is currently under execution. It is a register that sits at the top of the memory hierarchy. A variety of registers fulfills different operations in a central processing unit (CPU) – the function of the IR is to keep that currently stacked instruction for use.
• A PC (program counter) is a CPU register that has the address stored for the next instruction to be processed from memory. It is a digital counter required for quicker execution of tasks as well as to keep track of the current execution point. 
• The MAR (Memory Address Register) is the register in the control unit that holds the address of a register to receive or store from or to the storage. The Memory Address Register is half of an interaction between a microprogram and storage.

The cube is coloured on two adjacent faces (let us consider that the top and back surfaces are coloured)

So, the cubes on the surface having no colour will be 12 cubes on the front surface, 6 cubes on the right surface, 6 cubes on the left surface and 4 cubes at the bottom two surface.

So, cubes with no colour are:

12 + 6 + 6 + 4 = 28

Again, small cubes inside the big cube with no surface coloured is 8.

Therefore, cubes with no colour are = 28 + 8 = 36

The pattern followed is,

Accident can cause Injury.

Similarly,

Infection can cause Disease.
