Explanation

• Vacuoles are small, membrane-bound sacs found in the cytoplasm of cells, which contain air, liquid, or food particles.
• They play a role in storage, digestion, and maintenance of cellular homeostasis.

Explanation

• When Earth is between the Moon and the Sun.
• It blocks the sunlight from reaching the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon.
• This is known as a Lunar Eclipse.

Explanation

• When water evaporates, it changes from a liquid to a gas.
• This gaseous state is called water vapor.

Explanation

• In a solid, the particles are closely packed and have a fixed position.
• With a regular arrangement that gives the solid its shape and structure.

Explanation

• An iron nail/steel rod can be magnetized by passing an electric current around it, a process known as electromagnetic induction.
• This is the principle behind electromagnets.

Explanation

• Lever, pulley, wedge, wheel, inclined plane, and screw are examples of simple machines.
• These are basic machines that change the direction or magnitude of a force, making it easier to lift, move, or apply force to an object.

There are six types of simple machines:

1. Inclined Plane
2. Lever
3. Wheel and Axle
4. Pulley
5. Wedge
6. Screw

Explanation

In the Fahrenheit scale:

• The freezing point of water is 32°F
• The boiling point of water is 212°F

Explanation

• Filtration is the process of separating an insoluble solid from a liquid by passing the mixture through a filter paper or a porous material.
• The solid particles are retained by the filter.
• While the liquid passes through, resulting in a clear separation of the two.

Explanation

• Decantation is the process of carefully pouring a liquid from one container to another, leaving the solid particles that have settled at the bottom of the original container behind.
• This process is used to separate a liquid from a solid, without disturbing the solid.

Explanation

• Solids like sand remain suspended in water because they are denser than water.
• But not dense enough to sink to the bottom immediately.
• This creates a heterogeneous mixture, where the sand particles remain suspended in the water.
