Explanation

F ∝ m1m2

If both masses are doubled, F' ∝ (2m1)(2m2) = 4m1m2

So, F' is 4 times F.

Explanation

Polychromatic light contains multiple wavelengths or colors of radiation.

It is the opposite of monochromatic light, which has only a single wavelength.

Explanation

Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates.

They are called simple sugars because they cannot be broken down into smaller sugar units.

Explanation

• When red litmus paper is dipped in a basic solution, it turns blue.
• This indicates that the solution is basic, or alkaline.

Note: When blue litmus paper is dipped in an acid solution, it turns red.

Explanation

Change in momentum = 20 − 5 = 15 kg·m/s

Time = 3 s → Force = 15 / 3 = 5 N

Explanation

A light microscope can magnify up to 1000x (typical maximum), resolving structures as small as 0.2 micrometers.

This is ~1000x sharper than the naked eye (which resolves ~0.2 mm).

Explanation

Equisetum is commonly called horse-tail due to its brush-like appearance.

It belongs to Pteridophytes.

It is a living fossil.

It is found near wetlands.

Explanation

Hirudinaria is a genus of leeches, which are segmented worms.

Leeches belong to the phylum Annelida, known for segmented bodies.

Explanation

Parasites are classified as ectoparasites (living on the surface) and endoparasites (living inside the host).

Both types represent different forms of parasitic symbiosis with their hosts.

Explanation

Aldehydes and ketones contain a polar carbonyl group (C=O) which is susceptible to nucleophilic attack.

They commonly undergo nucleophilic addition reactions, a key feature of their reactivity.
