Question Discussion & Solution

Concept:-

• Plants have diverse varieties.
• There are more than 3 lakh plants species that have already been found in the world.
• Plants are beneficial in human life they give food, shelter and fulfil many other needs of various organisms.

Explanation:-

Bryophytes:

• Bryophytes are often referred to as the amphibians of the plant kingdom.
• Bryophytes are small, non-vascular plants.
• The reproduction of Bryophytes is via spores.
• Bryophytes are live in the soil, even though they need water for sexual reproduction this is the reason why the Bryophytes are often referred to as the amphibians of the plant kingdom.
• Bryophytes are generally classified into three coordinate phyla namely the liverworts, hornworts, and mosses.
• The following division, bryophytes, were the first land occupying or inhabiting plants.
• They fill in sodden or damp regions since they require water for fertilization.
• Consequently, they are called the creatures of land and water of the plant kingdom or the amphibians of the plant kingdom.

Thus, the first plants to inhabit the land are Bryophytes.

Additional Information 

Kingdom plants are divided into five groups- Thallophytes, Bryophytes, Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms, and Angiosperms.

Thallophyta

• The plant body is not differentiated from roots, stems, and leaves.
• They are commonly called algae.

Bryophyta

• These are small terrestrial plants.
• They show differentiation in the body design, with stem, leaf-like structures, and root-like structures.

Pteridophyta

• The plant body is differentiated into roots, stems, and leaves, apart from having a specialized tissue for conduction.

Gymnosperms

• Gymnosperms are plants with naked seeds.

Angiosperms

• Angiosperms are seed-bearing plants. Seeds develop inside tissues that get modified to form the fruit of the plant. 

A cage is meant to keep something surrounded, so enclosure is the essential element. A prisoner (choice b) or an animal (choice c) are two things that may be kept in cages, among many other things. A zoo (choice d) is only one place that has cages.

The correct answer is A Central processing unit.

Key Points

• Central Processing Unit(CPU)
  • A CPU is also called a central processor, main processor, or just processor, is the electronic circuitry that executing instructions comprising a computer program.
  • The CPU performs basic arithmetic, logic, controlling, and input/output operations specified by the instructions in the program.
  • The fundamental operation of most CPU's regardless of the physical form they take is to execute a sequence of stored instructions called a program. 
• Instructions cycle in CPU
  • All CPU's follows the following steps in order to complete their operations:
    1. Fetch: The first step, involves retrieving instructions from the program memory.
    2. Decode: The instruction that the CPU fetches from the memory determines what the CPU will do, which is decoded by the instructor decoder.
    3. Execute: In this step, all the desired functions are performed as per the instructions decoded.
• Intel Core
  • ​Intel core are streamlined computers CPU marketed by Intel Corporation.
  • Brand Names: Core, Core 2, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, Core i9
  • Launched: January 2006
  • Founders: Gordon Moore Robert Noyce
  • Headquarters: Santa Clara, California, USA

Additional Information

The correct answer is Nitrification.

Key Points

• The process of conversion of ammonia into nitrate nitrogen is called nitrification.
• It is done in two steps- Nitrite formation, Nitrate formation.
• Nitrite formation- Ammonia are oxidized to nitrites by Nitrococcus, Nitrosomonas.

Additional Information

• The nitrogen cycle has four steps-
  • Nitrogen Fixation- Conversion of molecular nitrogen into the inorganic nitrogenous compound.
  • Ammonification- Conversion of the dead organic nitrogenous compound into ammonia.
  • Nitrification- Oxidation of ammonia into nitrates.
  • Denitrification- Nitrites or nitrates converts back into molecular nitrogen.

The input device is any hardware used by a human operator or other systems to communicate with a computer. 

Input Device: A piece of equipment/hardware that helps us enter data into a computer is called an input device. 

Examples of an Input device:

Keyboard, mouse, scanner, joystick, etc.
