Does independence of the judiciary mean that the judiciary is not accountable to any one? Write your answer in not more than 100 words.

Answer»

The independence of the judiciary does not mean that the judiciary is not accountable to anyone.

The judiciary has to work according to the laws written in the constitution. Any kind of misbehaviour and incapacity of the judges can lead to their removal from the post. The judges have to write and explain the grounds of their decision made in the court. They cannot rule one way today and the opposite tomorrow in the same case. The judiciary cannot interfere in the sphere of legislature and executive. The system has to function independently while having accountability to the Constitution.

Describe propagation environment under root mediumi

Answer»

This is the mode by which plants reproduce asexually. It involves the production of new plants from the vegetative parts of an existing plant. Different methods of vegetative propagation in plants include stem cutting, layering and grafting.

• Grafting involves fusion of tissues of one plant with those of another plant. Grafting is a vegetative method of propagation for apples and roses.

• Leaf buds can grow as young plants in Bryophyllum. When the leaf touches moist soil, each bud grows into a new plantlet.

• Rhizomes are horizontal, underground plant stems with shoots and roots serving as reproductive structures.

What is Palliative Care?1. Is an approach to improve the quality of life of patients and their family who are facing life treatment illness2. Is an approach to quality of life of patients with terminal cancer3. Is an approach to reduce cost of treatment4. is an approach to reduce mortality and morbidity of the country

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Is an approach to improve the quality of life of patients and their family who are facing life treatment illness

Explanation:

Palliative Care

  • Palliative care improves the quality of life of patients and that of their families who are facing challenges associated with a life-threatening illness, whether physical, psychological, social or spiritual. The quality of life of caregivers improves as well.
  • Addressing suffering involves taking care of issues beyond physical symptoms.

  • Palliative care uses a team approach to support patients and their caregivers. This includes addressing practical needs and providing bereavement counselling.

  • It offers a support system to help patients live as actively as possible until death.

  • Palliative care is explicitly recognized under the human right to health. It should be provided through person-centred and integrated health services that pay special attention to the specific needs and preferences of individuals.

  • The global need for palliative care will continue to grow as a result of the ageing of populations and the rising burden of non-communicable diseases and some communicable diseases.
  • Early delivery of palliative care reduces unnecessary hospital admissions and the use of health services.
  • Palliative care involves a range of services delivered by a range of professionals that all have equally important roles to play – including physicians, nursing, support workers, paramedics, pharmacists, physiotherapists and volunteers –– in support of the patient and their family.

  • Each year, an estimated 40 million people are in need of palliative care; 78% of the people live in low- and middle-income countries.
  • Worldwide, only about 14% of people who need palliative care currently receive it.
  • Unnecessarily restrictive regulations for morphine and other essential controlled palliative medicines deny access to adequate palliative care.
  • Adequate national policies, programmes, resources, and training on palliative care among health professionals are urgently needed in order to improve access.

[Pt(NH 3)Cl(NO 2)] is named as DiamineChloridoNitrito-N-Platinum(II)   but NO2  exists in both anion group and cation group... If we consider it in the case of cation group then the name should be written as Nitronium instead of Nitrito-N-.....  But why it is written as Nitrito-N-  in all the cases.....????

Answer» An ambidentate ligand, nitrite has the potential to coordinate via the N- (nitro) or O- (nitrito) atoms in a manner that can direct its reactivity. We define the name according to its linkage in such groups, not on the basis of anion and cation.

The NO2 ligates with the central atom through the nitrogen atom and thus is called diammine.....nitrito-N-Platinum.

Define the term power of accommodtion. Write the modification in the curvature of the eye lens which enables us to see the nearby objects clearly.

Answer» The ability of the eye lens to abjust its focal length, so as to clearly focus rays coming from
distant as well as near objects on the retina, is called the power of accommodation of the eye.
The ciliary muscles contract which increases the curvature of eye lens and it thickens which
enables us to see the nearby objects clearly.

37.

(a) Write the function of each of the following parts of human eye : (i) Cornea (ii) Iris (iii) Crystalline lens (iv) Ciliry muscles

Answer» (i) Cornea. The front part of the eye is called cornea. It is made of a transparent substance which is convex in shape. The light coming from objects enters the eye through the cornea.
(ii) Iris. Iris is a flat, coloured , ring shaped muscle behind the cornea of the eye. There is a hole in the middle of the iris called pupil. The iris controls the amount of light entering the eyes.
(iii) Crystalline lens. The eye-lens forms a real image of the objects on the retina of the eye and light sensitive cells on the retina generate electrical signals which are sent to the brain through the optic nerve and give rise to the sensation of vision.
(iv) Ciliary muscles. The eye-lens is held in position by suspensory ligaments and ciliary muscles. Ciliary muscles change the thickness of eye-lens while focussing. In other words, the focal length of eye-lens can be changed by changing its shape by the action of ciliary muscles.
(b) At the time of sunrise, the sun is near the horizon and the sunlight has to travel the greatest distance through the atomosphere to reach us. During this long journey of the sunlight, most of the shorter wavelength blue light is scattered out and away from our lineof sight. So the light coming from the rising sun mainly consists of longer wavelength red colour due to which the sun appears red early in the morning.
This phenomenon can not be observed by an astronaut on the moon because there is no atmosphere containing air on the moon to scatter sunlight. Since there is no scattered light to reach the eyes of an astronaut, thus, the sky looks dark and black there.

Factors contributing to an increase in the concentration of glucose in the blood include

Answer»
  • Too much food, such as a meal or snack with more carbohydrates than usual
  • Not being active
  • Not enough insulin or oral diabetes medications
  • Side effects from other medications, such as steroids or antipsychotic medications
  • Illness—your body releases hormones to fight the illness, and those hormones raise blood glucose levels
  • Stress, which can produce hormones that raise blood glucose levels
  • Short- or long-term pain, such as pain from a sunburn—your body releases hormones that raise blood glucose levels
  • Menstrual periods, which cause changes in hormone levels
  • Dehydration

An object has a charge of \( 3.4 \times 10^{42} \) e. Convert this charge to Coulombs.

Answer»

q = 3.4 x 1042e

we know that 

e = 1.6 x 10-19c

Then

q = 3.4 x 1042 x 1.6 x 10-19

q = 5.44 x 1023c

In the gas equation(P+  a/v²)(v-b)=RT, where T is the absolute temperature, P is pressure and V is the volume. what is dimension constant "a" and " b"

Answer»

We can add and structure only like quantities.
⇒ Dimensions of P = Dimensions of  a/V2   ......  (i)
 and dimension of V = Dimensions of b                     ............ (ii)
From (i), 
Dimensions of a = Dimensions of P× Dimensions of V2 [a]

=[M1 L−1 T−2 ]×[L3 ]2 

=[M1 L5 T−2

Unit of a= Unit of p×Unit of v 

N/m2 \(\times\) m6=Nm4

From (ii), [b] = [V]=[M0 L3 T0

So unit of b = Unit of V = m3

An object 5 cm high is placed at a distance of 30 cm from a convex lens of a focal length 15 cm . Find the position and nature

Answer»

Given:- 

Height of Object, Ho = 5cm

Distance of the Object, u = -30cm

Focal length , f = +15cm 

Now, 

\(\frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f}\)

\(\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} + \frac{1}{u}\)

\(\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{15} - \frac{1}{30} = \frac{1}{30}\)

\(v = 30cm\)

(i) The image is formed at a distance of 30cm from the lens to its right side. 

(ii) Magnification, m = \(\frac{v}{u} = \frac{30}{-30}\) \(= -1\)

The image formed is real, inverted and of the same size as that of object.
