For part 1, the ans is D because during telophase, spindle will start to disintegrate.
Part 2, options 1 and 3 refers to cohesion-tension theory. So the remainings are the answer. So sorry i do not know how to explain option 2 and 4.
Part 3, only trachea and bronchus have cartilage. Respiratory bronchioles do not contain smooth muscle.
Part 4, in poorly drained areas, there will be less amount of O2 (contributes to anaerobic conditions), denitrying bacteria survives best in this condition. As a result, this will lead to an increase in denitrification process.
Hope it helps :)

Hi there. Cholera can be passed on to their children. This explanation may seem abit funny to you but it's true. Parents can prepared food for their children so there's a chance of contaminating the food :D

cuz malaria needs a vector..unlike others
and cholera can pass in one house if the living conditions are poor....like no water to wash hands and make food and stuff

From all the sunlight arriving at the plant, a lot is wasted from transpiration, the light misses the leaf, the light passes through the leaf without getting absorbed by the chloroplasts etc... so only 1% of the sunlight is actually used in photosynthesis (this is a number you must know from studying ecosystems)
Also, we know that 10% of the energy in produces is actually useful to primary consumers. This is due to several reasons. For example, the cellulose in the plant's cell walls cannot be digested, so it just passes through the feces of the herbivore. A lot of energy is also wasted in respiration, and also in chewing the plant.
Secondary consumers are more efficient because more parts of the herbivore can be digested such as flesh and meat. However, there are still parts such as bones which cannot be digested. As a result, the efficiency in secondary consumers is higher than that in primary consumers. So the only option is 20%.
All the remaining energy (from cellulose, bones, organic waste) can be digested and used by microorganisms/detrivores/decomposers, so they get the remaining 80% of the energy.
wht m nt getting is.....in secondary consumer,10% of primary consumer is efficient...so it should be less than 10% in secondary consumer.isn't it?????

as u add more substrate to the non competitive inhibition it remains the same rate not increasing
i guess the reaaction rate increases.since competitive inhibitor depends on the concn of substrate present......

the compounds in plants would be i think proteins?

umm,,,they'll be converted to ammonium ions first...n then to nitrates...which plants will take,,,

nt sure
