Question Discussion & Solution

CONCEPT:

• The pressure cooker is based on the principle that the boiling of water increases with the increase in pressure.

EXPLANATION:

• When we give heat to the pressure cooker then due to an increase in temperature the steam generated in the vessel.
• Due to this generated steam, the pressure inside the vessel increases. So the food gets cooked soon.
• Thus by the application of pressure the boiling point of the water increases. Hence option 1 is correct.
• There is no relation between food-grains with the boiling point of water. So options 2, 3, and 4 are wrong.

Concept:

• Food chain:​ The sequence of living organisms in a community in which one organism consumes another organism to transfer food energy is called a food chain.
• In simple words, A list of organisms showing 'who eats whom' is called the food chain.
• The food can be transferred from one organism to the other through the food chain.
• Each step in the food chain is represented by a trophic level.
• Producers occupy the base of the food chain, producers are followed by Consumers → Secondary consumers → Tertiary consumers → Decomposers.

Explanation:

• Humans occupy the position of consumers in a food chain.
• The human can be divided into two types of consumers - Primary consumer & Secondary consumer.
• Primary Consumer - When humans derive their nutrition directly from the producers (green plants) in the form of fruits & vegetables.
• Secondary Consumer - When humans derive the nutrition indirectly by eating primary consumers like goat, cow & buffalo.

The correct answer is Banas River.

  • The name "Banaas" literally translates as "forest-hope" (Ban-aas) meaning "Hope-of-the-forest" or 'Van Ki Aasha.' 

Additional Information 

• Bedach River
  • The Berach River, a tributary of the Banas River.
• Bandi River
  • ​The Bandi is a tributary of the Luni River in the Pali district of Rajasthan state.
  • It merged in the Luni river in the Jodhpur district. 
• Arvari
  • ​The Arvari River is a small river flowing through the Alwar District of Rajasthan.

The correct answer is Angiosperm.

Key Points

• Angiosperms are also known as Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta.
  • They are flowering and seed-producing plants.
  • It consists of 64 orders, 416 families, approximately 13,000 known genera, and 3,00,000 known species.
  • Their seeds develop in the ovaries of flowers and are surrounded by a protective fruit.
  • Examples of angiosperms are fruits, vegetables, grains, and flowers.
  • Angiosperms are classified as Monocotyledons (monocots) and Dicotyledons (dicots) where monocots are flowering plants whose seeds contain only one embryonic leaf or cotyledon and dicots are flowering plants whose seeds contain two embryonic leaves or cotyledons.

Additional Information

• 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.
