Explanation

• In cellular respiration, glucose reacts with oxygen to release energy.
• It producing carbon dioxide and water as main products.
• Respiration occurs mainly in the mitochondria of cells.
• The general respiration equation:
• Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP).

Explanation

• Stomata are tiny pores present mainly on the surface of leaves.
• They allow carbon dioxide (CO₂) to enter the plant for photosynthesis and release oxygen.
• Stomata are controlled by guard cells, which open and close the pores.

Explanation

• The outer ear (pinna and ear canal) collects sound vibrations from the environment.
• These vibrations travel through the auditory canal to the eardrum (tympanic membrane).

Additional information:

Main Parts of the Ear

• Outer Ear – Pinna and auditory canal
• Middle Ear – Eardrum and three ossicles (malleus, incus, stapes)
• Inner Ear – Cochlea and semicircular canals (hearing and balance)

Explanation

• Nitrogen (N2) makes up about 78% of the Earth's atmosphere.
• Making it the most abundant gas in the atmosphere.
• It is followed by oxygen (~21%), with other gases in much smaller amounts.

Explanation

The atomic number (proton number) determines the element.

Both X (₁₉) and Y (₁₉) have the same proton number 19, so they represent the same element but different isotopes.

• ⁴⁰₁₉X → Proton number = 19, Mass number = 40
• ³⁹₁₉Y → Proton number = 19, Mass number = 39
• ³⁸₂₀Z → Proton number = 20, Mass number = 38

Explanation

• Phosphorus molecule naturally exists as P₄.
• It means one molecule contains four phosphorus atoms bonded together.
• This form is commonly found in white phosphorus, where the atoms form a tetrahedral structure.

Additional information:

• O₂ – Oxygen molecule
• N₂ – Nitrogen molecule
• H₂ – Hydrogen molecule
• Cl₂ – Chlorine molecule

Explanation

• The symbolic representation of a molecule of a compound is called a formula.
• It uses symbols and numbers to represent the composition of the molecule.
• For example, the formula for water is H₂O, indicating two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

Explanation

The highest power of y is 3, so the equation is cubic in y.

The term 3x² is quadratic in x, but overall the highest degree is 3.

This making it a cubic equation.

Explanation

Area of square = side × side

225 = side²

Taking square root on both sides:

side = √225 = 15 meters

Explanation

Plugging in the values:

x² + y² = (4)² + (-2)²

= 4 × 4 + (-2) × (-2)

= 16 + 4

= 20
