Question : Sam's optometrist tells him that his intraocularpressure is high. What is this condition called and which fluid does it involve ?

Answer»

Due to pressure, optic nerve and the retina are compressed This leads to blindness.
12199.

Question : Saltatory conduction of impulse occurs in

Answer»

liver cells
non-myelinated nerve FIBRES
myelinated nerve fibres
None of these

Solution :The fatty myelin sheath of myelinated nerve fibres prevents the flow of ions between external fluid and fluid present within the axon.At the NODE of Ranvier, the INSULATING myelin sheath is absent and thus, the ionic flow occurs at these POINTS only.Therefore, the action potential jumps from node to node, due to which the transmission of IMPULSE is more rapid in myelinated fibres. This is called the saltatory conduction of nerve impulse.

Question : Salt is applied to tennis lawns to kill weeds. How does salting tennis lawns help in killing of weeds without affecting the grass ?

Answer»

Solution :The salt solution is a HYPERTONIC solution which is responsible for exo osmosis. 1 cup salt can be easily dissolved in 2 cup of water. While it is SPRINKLED on weeds it starts destroying it. This way the concentration of salt increases. If weeds STILL EXIST they are removed from the FORM.
