Explanation

• The SI unit of electrical resistance is Ohm (Ω).
• It measures how much a material opposes the flow of electric current.
• Higher resistance means less current flows.
• It is defined by V = IR (Ohm’s Law).
• 1 Ohm = 1 Volt per Ampere.

Explanation

• Mitochondria are called the powerhouse of the cell.
• Because they produce Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).
• ATP is the energy currency of the cell.
• ATP provides energy for different cellular activities such as movement, growth, and transport.
• Energy is produced through aerobic cellular respiration using oxygen and الغذائی molecules.
• They are found in the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells.
• Richard Altmann first described mitochondria in 1890.

Main Parts of a Cell:

1. Cell membrane → Outer protective layer
2. Nucleus → Controls cell activities
3. Cytoplasm → Jelly-like material between membrane and nucleus

Explanation

• Oceans play the most important role in regulating Earth’s temperature and climate.
• They absorb heat from the Sun and distribute it across the planet.
• Ocean currents control weather patterns globally.
• They help maintain Earth’s temperature balance.

Explanation

• Mangrove forests act as barriers against cyclones.
• Mangroves reduce erosion by trapping sediments, stabilizing the coastal zone and thus protecting the coast from storm surges and cyclones.
• Mangroves in Pakistan are found along the coastline of Sindh and Balochistan.
