Y is obviously primary, and X secondary, since Y takes longer time to produce antibodies, and makes less of it.
So that limits it to C and D.
During primary response, memory cells were produced by both B-cells and T-cells.
However, for the concentration of antibodies to increase, it's the B-cells that that must have cloned rapidly to develop into plasma cells that produce antibodies. So C.
(Technically, even T-cells could indirectly cause this, since T-helper cells secrete cytokines that stimulate B-cells to develop into plasma cells and produce antibodies, but I guess this is indirect and would take longer time)

I think you made a mistake in saying the answer is D.
Answer should be A.
B is definitely wrong, HIV cannot be transmitted through airborne droplets.
D is definitely wrong, TB is caused by a bacterium not virus.
Both A and C seem correct to me, however the main method of transmission for malaria is through the vector female Anopheles mosquito, as you said, so A is the best option.

On the picture you can see:
40 divisions of eyepiece graticule = 0.1mm
1 division = 0.1mm/40 = 0.0025mm
It is also clear that the radius of vision is 50 divisions:
50 divisions = 0.0025mm x 50 = 0.125mm
Since the answers are in micrometers let's convert it now:
0.125mm = 125 micrometers.
Area = pi*r^2 = 3.14159265358979... x 125 x 125 = 4.9 x 10^4 micrometer squared

should be D because in a resting muscle there is a lower proportion of CO2 therefore curve is towards the left( indicating higher affinity of Haemoglobin for O2) plus it should be lower bcz the parial pressure of O2 has to be low becz resting muscle respires too..using up O2

what does key time means ?
Aoa
Can someone PLEASEE explain to me the process of semi-conservative replication of DNA through the N14/N15 experiment like I know how replication occurs but Im not able to do the mcqs with this stuff.. I need to know the list of outcomes after each generation so if someone could please list out the results after each generation.. thankss guyss!

24 sugar will move out due to energy required by the growing cells for protein sythesis and Q 23 is the answerD

isnt it like roots are well growing part so they need more energy ?
23 is D...but y ? :/

yes as they are growing they require energy for replication of dna and protien synthesis.
23 is D because lingin strengthen the xylem vessels so they wont collapse under hydrostatic pressure which in this case is due to high rate of transpiration.

it decreases the haemoglobin(HB) affinity for oxygen, This is known as the BOHR EFFECT. Why does this happen well in water CO2 molecules from carbonic acid H2CO3 which dissociates to form H+ and HCO3 - ions. This is catalysed by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. H+ ions then react with HB to form HHB hence releasing the oxygen molecules HB was bidden to. This helps to release more oxygen in active muscles. I
