SSC -Science 27 August 2016"

1. Companion cells are unique to
1) Bryophytes
2) Pteridophytes
3)
Angiosperms
4) Gymnosperms
Exp-  companion cell, a specialized parenchyma cell, located in the phloem of flowering plants and closely associated with the development and function of a sieve-tube element.

2.Which one of the following is an insulator?
1) Copper
2)
Wood
3) Mercury
4) Aluminium
EXP- Examples of insulators include plastics, Styrofoam, paper, rubber, glass and dry air.

3.Bubbles of air rise up through liquids due to:
1) Surface tension and adherence
2) viscosity and buoyancy.
3) air current over the liquid and buoyancy
4) Up thrust and surface tension.

4.Zeolite is
1) hydrated ferric oxide
2) hydrated sodium aluminium silicate
3) sodium hexameta phosphate
4) sodium tetra borate
 Image result for zeolite
EXP- any of a large group of minerals consisting of hydrated aluminosilicates of sodium, potassium, calcium, and barium. They can be readily dehydrated and rehydrated, and are used as cation exchangers and molecular sieves.

5.The boiling point of liquids vary as
1) pressure varies
2) temperature varies
3) volume varies
4) density varies

6.The largest source of pollution in the world is
1) herbicides and insecticides
2) Automobile exhausts
3) Sewage and garbage
4) Industrial effluents

7 .Lacrymal glands are situated in the
1) Palms
2) Buccal cavity
3) Eye orbit
4) StomacImage result for Lacrimal glandsh

8. The most extensive use of molasses after fermentation is for producing
1) Methanol
2) Sugar
3)
Ethanol
4) Sugarcane

9. Acid rain is caused due to pollution of atmosphere by
1) oxides of nitrogen and sulphur
2) oxides of nitrogen and phosphorous
3) oxides of carbon and nitrogen
4) oxides of nitrogen and methane

10.Why the Earth is having its own atmosphere ?
1) Winds
2) Clouds
3) Gravity
4) Rotation of the Earth
11.Which enzyme is present in all members of the animal kingdom except Protozoa?
1) Insulin
2) Pepsin
3) Renin
4) Amylase
12.At boiling point of liquids , its
1) Temperature increases
2) Atmospheric pressure increases
3) Temperature remains constant
4) Vapour pressure decreases
13.A level of atmosphere which is composed partly of electrons and positive ions is called
1) Troposphere
2) Ionosphere
3) Stratosphere
4) Mesosphere
14. The most serious air pollutant causing health hazard is
1) Sulphur dioxide
2) Carbon monoxide
3) Ozone
4) Nitrogen oxide
Exp- It is a toxic gas with a burnt match smell. It is released naturally by volcanic activity and is produced as a by-product of the burning of fossil fuels contaminated with sulfur compounds.
the most significant being the atmosphere of Venus, where it is the third-most significant atmospheric gas at 150 ppm.

15. Helium is added to the oxygen supply of deep sea divers because it is _________
1) less poisonous than nitrogen
2) Lighter than nitrogen
3) Readily miscible with oxygen
4) less soluble in blood than nitrogen at high pressure
Exp- All other gases start dissolving in blood, causing weird effects
Note - Do astronauts breathe pure oxygen?
This means that the suits are filled with oxygen. Once in their suits, astronauts breathe pure oxygen for a few hours. Breathing only oxygen gets rid of all the nitrogen in an astronaut's body. If they didn't get rid of the nitrogen, the astronauts might get gas bubbles in their body when they walked in space.
16. Terylene is a condensation polymer of ethylene glycol and which acid?
1) Benzoic Acid
2) Salicylic acid
3) Phthalic acid
4) Terephthalic acid
Exp- Terephthalic acid white solid is a commodity chemical, used principally as a precursor to the polyester PET, used to make clothing and plastic bottles.
On a clean glass plate a drop of water spreads to form a thin layer whereas a drop of

17. mercury remains almost spherical because ________
1) Mercury is a metal
2) Density of mercury is greater than that of water
3) Cohesion of mercury is greater than its adhesion with glass
4) Cohesion of water is greater than its adhesion with glass

Adhesion: Water is attracted to other substances.
Cohesion: Water is attracted to water (cohesion describes particles that are the same and tend to stick together)

Density of mercury is greater than that of water

Mercury has a density of 13.6 grams per centimetre squared. Thus, within the same volume, mercury has more mass than water.


But See what question has asked..
