    Biodegradable substances such as kitchen waste, dead plants, or paper break down naturally by microbes into simpler organic matter. This organic material turns into compost, enriching the soil. The assertion is correct, but the reason wrongly states “inorganic substances” instead of “organic substances.” Hence, the correct option is C. Assertion true but Reason false.

  2. When dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with zinc granules, effervescence occurs due to the release of hydrogen gas, which can be tested by a pop sound. Additionally, zinc chloride solution is formed, different from the original reactants. The formation of new substances and energy release confirm thatRead more

    When dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with zinc granules, effervescence occurs due to the release of hydrogen gas, which can be tested by a pop sound. Additionally, zinc chloride solution is formed, different from the original reactants. The formation of new substances and energy release confirm that a chemical change has occurred, supported by both visible gas evolution and compound formation.

  3. Post-fertilisation, the zygote formed in the ovule develops into an embryo. The ovules mature into seeds, while the ovary enlarges and transforms into a fruit, enclosing the seeds. Other floral parts like petals and sepals usually dry and fall off. This sequence of changes ensures seed protection, dRead more

    Post-fertilisation, the zygote formed in the ovule develops into an embryo. The ovules mature into seeds, while the ovary enlarges and transforms into a fruit, enclosing the seeds. Other floral parts like petals and sepals usually dry and fall off. This sequence of changes ensures seed protection, dispersal, and continuation of the plant species through fruit formation.

    Urine formation helps in excretion by removing harmful nitrogenous wastes like urea, uric acid, and excess water. This process maintains the body’s chemical balance and prevents accumulation of toxins. Urine is stored in the urinary bladder until excretion, and when the bladder contracts, it is released out of the body through the urethra. This ensures proper waste removal and homeostasis.

  5. Arteries transport blood from the heart under high pressure, so they need thick and elastic walls to resist and maintain this pressure without damage. In contrast, veins carry blood back to the heart at low pressure. To prevent blood from flowing backwards due to gravity, veins are provided with valRead more

    Arteries transport blood from the heart under high pressure, so they need thick and elastic walls to resist and maintain this pressure without damage. In contrast, veins carry blood back to the heart at low pressure. To prevent blood from flowing backwards due to gravity, veins are provided with valves. Thus, arteries manage pressure, while veins ensure correct direction of blood flow.
