Then what are psychrometer and ammeter used for

A psychrometer is an instrument commonly used in laboratories to measure relative humidity in the air.

An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the electric current in a circuit.

Voltage is electric potential energy per unit charge, measured in joules per coulomb.

(iii) Adrenalin is secreted by the Adrenal Medulla


Adrenal Gland, vital endocrine gland that secretes hormones into the bloodstream, situated, in humans, on top of the upper end of each kidney. The two parts of the gland—the inner portion, or medulla, and the outer portion, or cortex—are like separate organs: They are composed of different types of tissue and perform different functions. The adrenal medulla, composed of chromaffin cells, secretes the hormone epinephrine, also called adrenaline, in response to stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system at times of stress. The medulla also secretes the hormone norepinephrine, which plays a role in maintaining normal blood circulation. The hormones of the medulla are called catecholamines. Unlike the adrenal cortex, the medulla can be removed without endangering the life of an individual.

The adrenal outer layer, or cortex, secretes about 30 steroid hormones, but only a few are secreted in significant amounts. Aldosterone, one of the most important hormones, regulates the balance of salt and water in the body. Cortisone and hydrocortisone are necessary to regulate fat, carbohydrate, and protein metabolism. Adrenal sex steroids have a minor influence on the reproductive system. Modified steroids, now produced synthetically, are superior to naturally secreted steroids for treatment of Addison's disease and other disorders.

@rana

earth completes one rotation aroud sun in 365.25 days,not about its axis.it completes one rotation about its axis in 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds so the above statement is false.

Thanks dear for correction, but the earth revolves around the sun not rotates arrond it.It only rotates arround its axis.

Cheapest source of producing electricity is water .Coal is very costly on the contrary i guess.

Kilowatt hour is the unit of work.

9. Differentiate between any five of the following pairs.
(i) Veins: carry deoxigenated blood to heart from body parts
and arteries carry oxigenated blood from body parts to heart.
Vains are thin and less elastic than artries.

(ii) PNP: and NPN transistor: PNP transistors is the one in which one N,type semiconductor is sandwithched in between two P type or accepter diodes while NPN transistor is the one in which two N type semiconductors are fitted on the both sides of p-type semiconductor to allow to pass current from them.

(iii) Electronic current:
and static electricity: Electricity occurs in two forms: static electricity and electric current. Static electricity consists of electric charges that stay in one place. An electric current is a flow of electric charges between objects or locations:

For your convenience I am putting here an example:

Static electricity can be produced by rubbing together two objects made of different materials. Electrons move from the surface of one object to the surface of the other if the second material holds onto its electrons more strongly than the first does. The object that gains electrons becomes negatively charged, since it now has more electrons than protons. The object that gives up electrons becomes positively charged. For example, if a nylon comb is run through clean, dry hair, some of the electrons on the hair are transferred to the comb. The comb becomes negatively charged and the hair becomes positively charged. The following materials are named in decreasing order of their ability to hold electrons: rubber, silk, glass, flannel, and fur (or hair). If any two of these materials are rubbed together, the material earlier in the list becomes negative, and the material later in the list becomes positive. The materials should be clean and dry.

(iv:
A convex lens curves outward; it has a thick center and thinner edges. Light passing through a convex lens is bent inward, or made to converge;
Concave lens: A diverging, or concave, lens is curved inward, with a thin center and thicker edges. Light passing through a concave lens bends outward, or diverges

(v) Fats and oils: Fats are soft and greasy at ordinary temperatures, whereas fixed oils—as distinct from essential oils and petroleum—are liquid.

(vi) adsorption : the adhesion of a thin layer of molecules of some substance to the surface of a solid or liquid.
Absorption: the ability of a substance to absorb light, noise, or energy, or the fact that it does so


13. Which part of a plant do they belong to?
(i) Ginger........................underground Stem
(ii) Raddish.....................edible Root
(iii) Potato.....................root

(v) Peanut.....................underground Seed
(vi) Saffron...................Stigma of Flower
(vii) Almond...................Fruit
(viii) Chillies....................edible pod with seeds
