Explanation

Detritus food chain starts with dead organic matter (detritus), including decaying plant material.

Decomposers (like fungi, bacteria) and detritivores (like earthworms) feed on this material, converting it into simpler substances.

Explanation

In this reaction, element C displaces B from compound AB, forming A + BC.

Such reactions are classified as single displacement or single replacement reactions.

Explanation

Lactobacillus bulgaricus is a lactic acid bacterium used primarily in the fermentation of milk to produce yogurt.

It works alongside Streptococcus thermophilus to convert lactose into lactic acid, giving yogurt its texture and tangy flavor.

Explanation

Loudness is how the intensity of a sound is perceived by the human ear.

Greater intensity → louder sound.

It is measured in decibels (dB).

Explanation

A thinner convex lens has a longer focal length because it bends light rays less sharply than a thicker convex lens.

A thicker convex lens has a shorter focal length as it bends light rays more strongly, bringing them to focus sooner.

Explanation

Explanation

Fats are lipids, not carbohydrates; they are made of fatty acids and glycerol.

Ribose, Starch, and Glucose are all carbohydrates composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Explanation

The choroid is a layer full of blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to the eye.

It lies between the retina and the sclera.

Explanation

Time = Energy / Power

Given Energy = 1.4 × 10⁶ J and Power = 2 kW = 2000 W:

Time = (1.4 × 10⁶ J) / (2000 W)

Time = 1.4 × 10⁶ / 2000

= 700 s

Explanation

In Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM), instantaneous velocity is maximum when displacement is zero.

This occurs when the phase angle is 90° with respect to displacement (since velocity leads displacement by 90° in SHM).
