Explanation

Oxygen is the chemical element with the symbol O and atomic number 8. 

Explanation

• Infrared waves are used in night vision equipment.
• They detect heat emitted by objects.
• It allowing visibility in low-light conditions.

Explanation

• The normal range of respirations in an adult are:12-20 Breaths Per Minute
• ***
• A person's respiratory rate is the number of breaths you take per minute.
• The normal respiration rate for an adult at rest is 12 to 20 breaths per minute.
• A respiration rate under 12 or over 25 breaths per minute while resting is considered abnormal.
• **
• Respiration rates may increase with fever, illness, and other medical conditions. 
• ***
•  we exhale Carbon Dioxide during respiration 
• The average human exhales about 2.3 pounds of carbon dioxide on an average day

Explanation

Glucose, also called dextrose, one of a group of carbohydrates known as simple sugars

Explanation

Roots are food storage organs and hence food is transported to them from the leaves.

Hence roots are sinks.

Also, all young growing parts are considered as sinks as they have the highest rate of metabolism and hence require food.

Developing fruits and the apical meristem are growing parts, and hence act as sinks.

Explanation

The average human exhales about 2.3 pounds of carbon dioxide on an average day

Explanation

• Plants absorb most of the water they need through their root hairs, which are small, thin extensions of the roots that increase the surface area for absorption.
• Root hairs are typically found in the rhizosphere, the region of soil surrounding the roots, and are responsible for absorbing water and nutrients from the soil.

Explanation

• Taxonomy is the science of classifying living things, including animals and plants, into groups based on their characteristics, evolutionary relationships, and common ancestors.
• It involves the identification, naming, and classification of species, as well as the study of their relationships and evolutionary history.

Explanation

Fibrin is actively formed on the surface of activated platelets.

Explanation

Metaphase, one of the most critical stages in mitosis

Chromosomes are most compact in metaphase

When the centromeres of the chromosomes of all cells are aligned with the equator of the mitotic spindle.

Chromosomes are most easily visualized at this stage,

So metaphase is especially useful in cytogenetics.
