Explanation

 The SI unit of impedance is the ohm (Ω).

Impedance, like resistance, is measured in ohms, and it can be represented as a complex number. 

Explanation

Bacteriophages are significantly smaller than the bacteria they infect, meaning the volume of a phage is roughly 1/1000 of the host cell's volume. 

Explanation

Within the ovule of Pinus, a megaspore mother cell undergoes meiosis, resulting in the production of four haploid megaspores.

However, only one of these megaspores survives and develops into the female gametophyte. 

Explanation

An ammeter is always connected in series with a circuit to measure the current. 

In a series circuit, the current flows through each component one after the other, meaning the same current passes through every device in the circuit.

Since an ammeter is designed to measure the current flowing through a circuit, placing it in series ensures that the entire current passes through it. 

Explanation

Interstitial cells, specifically Leydig cells in the testes, secrete androgens, primarily testosterone, in response to stimulation by luteinizing hormone (LH).

These hormones are crucial for the development of male secondary sexual characteristics and overall reproductive function. 

Explanation

Excess melanin-stimulating hormone (MSH) is secreted in Addison's disease

Because the adrenal glands are not producing enough cortisol

Which leads to an increase in ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone)

Which in turn stimulates the production of MSH, resulting in hyperpigmentation (darkened skin). 

Explanation

Calcium (Ca) typically has an oxidation number of +2.

Oxygen (O) typically has an oxidation number of -2.

In the chlorite ion (ClO2-), let the oxidation number of Cl be 'x'.

The total charge of the chlorite ion is -1.

So, the equation becomes: x + 2*(-2) = -1

Solving for x: x - 4 = -1, therefore x = +3

Since there are two chlorite ions in the compound, the overall oxidation number of Cl in Ca(ClO2)2 is +3.

Explanation

The average daily human energy intake is roughly 2000-2500 kilocalories.

One liter of petrol contains approximately 34.2 Megajoules (MJ) of energy, equivalent to roughly 8342 kilocalories.

Therefore, 1/4 liter of petrol has about 8.55 MJ of energy, which is closer to the daily human energy needs than the other options. 

Explanation

The central requirement in the maintenance of an organism is homeostasis, which is the ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes.

This involves regulating various internal conditions such as body temperature, blood pH, and fluid balance to ensure optimal functioning. 

Explanation

As of the most widely accepted recent estimates, about 2.13 million species have been formally described by scientists.

This number includes:

• Animals (insects, mammals, birds, etc.)

• Plants

• Fungi

• Protists

• Bacteria and archaea (though many microbes remain undescribed)
