The viscosity of water is the thickness of water (it might also be considered the stickiness when talking about other fluids). Water has many properties, and the viscosity of water influences in many of them. We can take the surface tension of a liquid as an example. The more viscous a substance is, higher will the surface tension be and vice versa since there will be a higher and lower attraction between molecules respectively.
→ The surface tension of water is something really important since it contributes in many ways to the environment and if you think about it, if the water was a little less viscous, there wouldn't be water since the viscosity of water makes it resistant to evaporation to a certain degree.

During glycolysis, the source of the chemical energy that is captured in ATP:
B. the chemical bonds in glucose
Explanation:
- Glycolysis is also known as Embden-meyerhof pathway.
- It is an oxidative process in which one mole of glucose is partially oxidized into two moles of pyruvate.
- Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of the cell in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
- The breakdown of six-carbon glucose into two molecules the three-carbon pyruvate occurs in ten steps.
- The first five steps of this pathway constitute the preparatory phase.This phase consumes energy during the phosphorylation of glucose.
- The preparatory phase produces two molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P).
- The two molecules of G3P are then converted to pyruvate in the next five steps that constitute the payoff phase.
- The energy gain of glycolysis comes in this payoff phase.
- The oxidation of G3P yields a high energy molegule 1,3 -bisphosphoglycerate .
- The high energy phosphate on carbon 1 of this molecule is donated to ADP and ATP is produced.
- This synthesis of ATP is called substrate level phosphorylation because ADP phosphorylation is coupled with exergonic breakdown of a high-energy bond.
Answer:
Mutagens can be described as substances which cause mutation. Mutations can be described as any changes in the DNA of an organism.
Mutations can be introduced by chemicals or naturally.
Mutagens which can cause mutations are:
- X-rays
- Ultraviolet radiation
- Chemical mutagens such as Alkylating agents such as ethylnitrosourea.
- Certain Alkaloid
- Bromine
Answer:
The correct answer will be option-C.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is a complex process which converts light energy into chemical energy which is used to form the glucose molecule. Photosynthesis occurs in two stages: light-dependent and light-independent reaction.
The light-dependent reaction is the reaction which takes place in the sunlight and converts light energy to chemical energy in ATP and NADPH molecules.
The light-dependent begins when photosystem absorbs light energy which causes the excitation of the electrons provided by chlorophyll molecule. The excited electrons get accepted by electron acceptor molecule and a chain of electron flow begins called electron transport chain.
This creates a scarcity of electron in photosystem which causes hydrolysis of the water molecule as a result oxygen gas is released. The electron flow leads to the synthesis of ATP molecules through chemiosmosis.
Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
Messenger RNA is the type of RNA of protein synthesis
