Q

What are molds how are they survived

A

Like all fungi, molds derive energy not through photosynthesis but from the organic matter on which they live, utilising heterotrophy. Typically, molds secrete hydrolytic enzymes, mainly from the hyphal tips.

These enzymes degrade complex biopolymers such as starch, cellulose and lignin into simpler substances which can be absorbed by the hyphae.

In this way molds play a major role in causing decomposition of organic material, enabling the recycling of nutrients throughout ecosystems.

44
Q

What happens in the proton Therapy

A

Fundamentally, all tissue cells are made up of molecules with atoms as their building blocks.

In the centre of every atom is the nucleus. Orbiting the nucleus of the atom are negatively charged electrons.

When energized protons pass near orbiting electrons, the positive charge of the protons attracts the negatively charged electrons, pulling them out of their orbits.

This is called ionization; it changes the characteristics of the atom and consequentially the character of the molecule within which the atom resides.

Because of ionization, the radiation damages molecules within the cells, especially the DNA.

Damaging the DNA destroys specific cell functions, particularly the ability to divide or proliferate.

While both normal and cancerous cells go through this repair process, a cancer cell’s ability to repair molecular injury is frequently inferior.

As a result, cancer cells sustain more permanent damage and subsequent cell death than occurs in the normal cell population.

45
Q

What is used for focusing the protons on the cancer cells In portion therapy

A

Particle accelerator

53
Q

What are oviparous animals

A

Oviparous animals are animals that lay their eggs, with little or no other embryonic development within the mother.

This is the reproductive method of most fish, amphibians, reptiles, all birds, and the monotremes.

Oviparous animals may fertilize their eggs either externally or internally, though all animals that fertilize their eggs externally in nature are oviparous.

In cases of internal fertilization, male animals somehow pass their sperm into the female: for example, male salamanders deposit a sperm packet, or spermatophore, onto the bottom of their breeding pond and then induce an egg-bearing (or gravid) female to walk over it

54
Q

The birth of Live offspring is a reproductive feature of

A

The birth of live offspring is a reproductive feature shared by mammals, some fishes, and selected invertebrates, such as scorpions, as well as various reptiles and amphibians.

55
Q

What are the types of fertilisation seen in oviparous animals

A

Oviparous animals may fertilize their eggs either externally or internally, though all animals that fertilize their eggs externally in nature are oviparous.

In cases of internal fertilization, male animals somehow pass their sperm into the female: for example, male salamanders deposit a sperm packet, or spermatophore, onto the bottom of their breeding pond and then induce an egg-bearing (or gravid) female to walk over it

56
Q

What is ovoviviparity

A

Ovoviviparity is common in a wide range of animals, including certain insects, fish, lizards, and snakes, but it is much less typical than oviparity. Ovoviviparous insects do not supply oxygen or nourishment to their developing eggs; they merely give them a safe brooding chamber for development.

Nonetheless, species of ovoviviparous fish, lizards, and snakes appear to provide some nutrition and oxygen to their growing offspring. Because nutrition is provided in these instances, some zoologists consider them examples of true live birth, or viviparity.

61
Q

Noise cancelling headphones primarily work by

A

Noise-cancelling headphones (a smart wearable device) can be broken down into two main groups: passive and active. Passive headphones simply reduce background noise by using insulating materials to prevent external noise from entering the ear. Active headphones, on the other hand, are a little more complex.

Many active headphones have an external microphone that screens incoming sounds.

When the microphone detects unwanted noise—such as a humming airplane engine—it sends a sound wave into the headphone speakers that is 180 degrees out of phase with the bothersome sound.

Consequently, the two waves cancel each other out, resulting in silence. Unlike traditional earbuds or headphones, noise-cancelers require a rechargeable battery to send out the mirror waves
