Explanation

• The lungs are the organs responsible for exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide through the process of respiration.
• They consist of air-carrying tubes (bronchi and bronchioles) and tiny sacs (alveoli) where gas exchange occurs.

Explanation

• The ozone layer is a layer of gas in the stratosphere that contains a high concentration of ozone (O3).
• It absorbs most of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation, protecting the Earth from harmful UV rays.

Explanation

We can measure our blood pressure on our own using a digital blood pressure monitor for automated readings or an instrument called a sphygmomanometer for manual readings.

A sphygmomanometer also known as a blood pressure monitor, is a device used to measure blood pressure.

Explanation

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) reacts with Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to form Sodium chloride (NaCl) and Water (H₂O) — a typical acid-base neutralization reaction.

The balanced equation is:

NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H₂O

Explanation

• A Neutralization reaction is a specific type of reaction where an acid and a base react to form a salt and water only, with no other products.
• This reaction is characterized by the elimination of acidic and basic properties, resulting in a neutral solution.
• Example: HCl (acid) + NaOH (base) → NaCl (salt) + H2O (water)

Explanation

When calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl), it produces carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas.

The reaction is:

CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

Explanation

Explanation

Electromagnetic spectrum order (longest to shortest wavelength):

Radio waves (includes TV signals) → Infrared → Visible light → X-rays.

It follows this order, starting with television (radio waves) and ending with X-rays.

Explanation

All electromagnetic waves (like light, X-rays, and radio waves) travel through a vacuum at the same constant speed.

It is approximately 3 × 10⁸ meters per second.
