  • The shrines were developed over the period – from the 2nd century BCE to the 5th century CE.
  • The oldest of the cave shrines is believed to date back to 160 BCE, having arisen near a major ancient trade route, running eastward from the Arabian Sea into the Deccan.

• Elephanta Caves are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a collection of cave temples predominantly dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva.

b. Open bundle

These are the specialised cells found in the epidermis of monocot leaf. They are otherwise called as motor cells. 

It helps in the rolling and unrolling of lamina.

The deposition of substances like Tannin, resin, oil, gum, aromatic substances and essential oil in the central part of wood helps to resist the attack of microorganisms.

The presence of bulliform cells in the leaves of monocot plants, which helps in rolling and unrolling of lamina and prevents water loss.

The cuticle is the waxy substance prevents the excessive water loss.

Mode of arrangement of sepals or petals in floral bud with respect to the other members of the same whorl.

Transgenics can be dangerous to the entire biosphere since the transfer of genes between species may have immediate and long term unpredictable consequences. The creation of new species by nature is a slow process, dependent on causal mutations and natural selection, a relatively safe process for the ecological equilibrium. It is impossible to know how the fast and artificial introduction of transgenic beings in nature affects ecosystems. Pathogenic agents may be involuntarily created in laboratories, spreading unknown diseases; transgenic species may uncontrollably proliferate destroying ecological interactions that have taken thousands of years to be established; the ingestion of transgenic food also has unpredictable effects.

Transgenic beings are animals, microorganisms and plants that contain recombinant DNA, i.e., genes from other plants, microorganisms or animals artificially inserted into their genetic material. Transgenic beings are made for scientific and economic purposes, in this last case with the intention of improving their commercial features. For example, bacteria that produce human insulin are transgenic beings made by biotechnology. The main targets of the transgenic technology are edible vegetables, like soy, corn, potato and tomato.

The mains chemical compounds that destroy the ozone layer are the CFCs, chlorofluorocarbons, or freons, substances used in the past in refrigerators, airconditioners and spray cans.

Chlorofluorocarbons react with ozone in the high atmosphere releasing molecular oxygen and therefore the amount of ozone in the atmosphere is reduced.

Another substance that destroys the ozone layer is methyl bromide, used in agricultural insecticides. 

Plutonium is the highly radioactive chemical element produced from uranium by nuclear plants. Plutonium can be reprocessed to be used again in nuclear plants or in other destinations, like the making of nuclear bombs. Plutonium reprocessing nowadays, however, is done only in some countries like France, Russia and Britain. The countries that have nuclear plants, like Japan, Australia, etc., send their atomic waste by ship to those plutonium reprocessing centers. Besides the inherent risks of the storage of nuclear waste, plutonium reprocessing brings the risks of the transport of radioactive material across the oceans. The “nuclear ships” often travel near the coast of many countries posing danger to their populations.

Loss of water in the form of liquid droplets through water stomata.

Nuclear pollution consists of radiations emitted from atomic nuclei, these radiations are highly injurious to living beings. They can be originated from the extraction of radioactive minerals, nuclear plant reactors, nuclear research centers, hospitals and medical centers that use radioisotopes, nuclear bomb explosions or accidents with transportation, handling or storage of nuclear material. Nuclear materials remain dangerous for many years, contaminating the environment with radiation that can cause cancer, immune impairment, congenital deficiencies, burns and even death. The damage is proportional to the intensity of the exposition to the radiation.

Its persistent feature and high aggression power make nuclear pollution one of the major environmental problems of our time.

Technique of growing plants in a nutrient solution.

The fluid present lymphatic system.

The correct answer is They have a two-chambered heart.

• Aves is the class of a Phylum Chordata of the Animal Kingdom which comprises of the birds.
• The members of the Aves are characterized by being feathered, warm-blooded, and bipedal and the forelimb is modified into wings that help in the flight mechanism. 
  • Example- Archaeopteryx, which lived approximately 147 million years ago, is recognized as the oldest known bird.

• Characteristics-
  • Birds are bipedal feathered and warm-blooded.
  • Hind-limbs are modified for perching, walking, or swimming
  • Lower and upper and jaws are modified into a beak
  • Birds are oviparous and exhibit sexual dimorphism
  • They have the 4-chambered heart with complete separation of oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood
  • Birds show courtship, nest building, parental care, and migration.

Herbarium is a store house of collected plant specimens that are dried and preserved on sheets.

The herbaria serve as quick referral systems in taxonomic studies

1. Half of the total carbon dioxide fixation on earth is carried out by algae and they increase the level of oxygen in their environment. 

2. Many species of algae are used as food.
