may be m wrong in few and thank for correction! and i havent studied science ever so dont knw whts written there!
but walnuts its workdone... didnt u study the formulae of workdone in matric? f*d?? i think its dame simple!
anyhow keep pouring! thank u

Fore question no. 50.

animals get carbon dioxide as a result of process of respiration.In the process of respiration, Glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide and ATP molecules. So source of carbon dioxide in animals is Glucose. Starch is a storage of excessive glucose in Plants only. Animals store this excessive glucose in the form of glycogen. This glycogen is not directly burnt and converted into energy but first transformed into glucose and then into carbon dioxide and energy.

F*d is not the logic here! in crushing a walnut you need to exert more force. you are not moving any mass across any distance.

Plus for 43: The answer is not Budding. Budding is not a sexual form of reproduction in plants. it's asexual form of reproduction. The correct answer was 1 where the male and female organs reside in the same organism (as far as i could recall happens in snails etc). The rest of the three were all asexual in nature. in the papaer i was confused about a and e.

44# option is hermophroditism
having both male and female organz

Your answer is correct. Another example of this type is Earthworm. It also contains both male and female sexual organs therefore its called hermaphrodite.
