Apiculture involves the maintenance of honeybee colonies for honey, beeswax, and pollination services. Sericulture is silkworm rearing, pisciculture is fish farming, poultry is bird rearing for eggs/meat. The most common species in India is Apis indica (Indian bee) and Apis mellifera (European bee). Apiculture requires knowledge of bee biology, management of hives, and disease control.
Explanation:
Naja naja is the binomial name of the spectacled cobra, common in India. Vipera russellii is Russell's viper, Bungarus fasciatus is the banded krait, Ophiophagus hannah is the king cobra. Binomial nomenclature was introduced by Carolus Linnaeus to provide a universal naming system.
Consider statements about human excretion: 1. The kidneys regulate blood pressure. 2. Ammonia is the primary nitrogenous waste in humans. 3. The nephron filters blood in the glomerulus. Which are correct?
Explanation:
The kidneys regulate blood pressure via the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and by controlling fluid volume. The nephron's glomerulus filters blood plasma into Bowman's capsule. Humans are ureotelic, meaning the primary nitrogenous waste excreted is urea, not ammonia (which is highly toxic and excreted by aquatic animals). Thus, statements 1 and 3 are correct.
Explanation:
Glycolysis, occurring in the cytoplasm, breaks down one molecule of glucose (6C) into two molecules of pyruvate (3C), producing a net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH. This is the first step of both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Pyruvate then enters the mitochondria for further oxidation in the Krebs cycle if oxygen is available.
