Explanation

• The requirement for light during seed germination varies among plant species.
• Some seeds, like peas and beans, can germinate in darkness (skototropism).
• While others, like lettuce and petunia, require light (photoblastism) to break seed dormancy and initiate germination.
• This is because light can trigger the production of hormones and enzymes essential for germination.

Explanation

An inclined plane is a slanting surface connecting a lower level to a higher level.

It is a simple machine that helps to lift or move loads to a higher position, and is commonly used in:

• Ramps
• Staircases
• Slides
• Ski lifts
• Hilly roads

Explanation

• Heat is a form of energy that is transferred from one body to another due to a temperature difference.
• It is a type of kinetic energy that is transferred through the motion of particles.

Explanation

• Carnivores are animals that eat only meat, primarily from other animals.
• Examples of carnivores include lions, tigers, bears, wolves, and sharks.

Explanation

• Camels have a special water storage space in their humps, which store fatty tissue.
• When food and water are scarce, the camel's body metabolizes the fatty tissue in the hump, providing energy and water.
• This allows camels to survive for extended periods without water.

Explanation

• Silicon is an example of a Semiconductor.
• Semiconductors like silicon have electrical conductivity between conductors and insulators.
• It enabling them to control electrical current flow in devices and integrated circuits.

Explanation

• The pressure exerted by a gas is a result of the countless collisions of gas molecules with the container walls, which transfer momentum.
• It force to the walls, causing pressure.
• This is a fundamental principle in kinetic molecular theory.

Explanation

The pH scale ranges from 1 to 14, with:

• 1-6 being acidic
• 7 being neutral (neither acidic nor basic)
• 8-14 being basic (alkaline)

Explanation

• Hydrogen and Oxygen combining to form water, which is an example of a synthesis reaction: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
• In this reaction, two substances (hydrogen and oxygen) combine to form a new compound (water).
