Answer:
elliptical (nearly circular)
Explanation:
According to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, the planets do not revolve around the Sun in exact circular orbits. The path of the planet or any other body in the solar system is elliptical, with the Sun at one of the foci. Though, the eccentricity is not large, so one can say, the path of the planets and the asteroids around the Sun is nearly circular.

A) polarity
B) Cohesion & Adhesion
C) High heat capacity
D) All the above
Solution
Some essential properties of water are as follows –
a) Polarity
b) Solvent
c) High heat capacity - it is essential to maintain the temperature on earth. The water bodies are comparatively cooler than the temperature of earth
d) High heat of vaporization
e) Cohesion – It is essential for surface tension & capillary action
f) Adhesion – It is essential for surface tension & capillary action
g) Lower freezing density – Due to this reason, ice is lighter than water
Hence, option D is correct
Answer:
lichens
mycorrhiza
Explanation:
Lichens are formed by two types of organisms- an alga and fungus. The mycelium of the fungus forms athin mat which offers anchorage and protection to some microscopic algae. The alga provides the fungus with sugars which it produces through photosynthesis.
Mycorrhiza is a type of symbiotic relationship between a saprophytic fungus and vascular plants such as coniferous trees. The fungus develops in the soil near the base of the tree. Some of the hyphae penetrate into the outer layers into the soil from which it obtains mineral ions. It also decomposes proteins to their amino acids. The fungus shares these nutrients with its tree host.
