Answer : 1. "86"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 86 Explanation: Here the given number series is 5  11  21  44  ?  175   Now the given series follows a pattern, that   x2 + 1, x2 - 1, x2 + 2, x2 - 2, x2 + 3, x2 - 3,...   Then the missing number is x2 - 2   = 44 x 2 - 2 = 88 - 2 = 86   Hence, the missing number in the number series is 86.

Answer : 1. "amino acids"
Explanation :

Answer: A) amino acids Explanation: It is the fact that all type of proteins are polymers of amino acids. So that, plants are also used to synthesise protein from amino acids.    Plants synthesis protein from amino acids in the presence of ATP by specific synthetases. This reaction is followed by the attachment of these activated amino acids to specific tRNA molecules, with the formation of aminoacyl-tRNA molecules.

Answer : 4. "Both B & C"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Both B & C Explanation: Groundwater is all the water that has penetrated the earth's surface and is found in one of two soil layers. The one nearest the surface is the "zone of aeration", where gaps between soil are filled with both air and water. Below this layer is the "zone of saturation", where the gaps are filled with water.

Answer : 2. "dry climates"
Explanation :

Answer: B) dry climates Explanation: Conditions suitable for the formation of a tornado develop when varying temperatures and humidity come together and form thunderclouds. This refers to the presence of warm and moist condition in the lower atmosphere and cold and dry conditions in the upper atmosphere. The place where these varying masses of air meet is known as the dry-line. Such conditions, which are suitable for the formation of a tornado, are most often observed just before a low pressure system develops.   Once the ideal conditions occur, the warm air tries to rise in the atmosphere, while the cold air blocks it. This makes the air in between rotate horizontally. In the meanwhile, the land is heated by the Sun, and hence, the air near the ground becomes warm and starts rising. Continuous fueling by the heat energy from the Sun ensures that the warm air has an upper hand over cold air. As a result of this, the cold air at the top starts sinking and the warm air below starts rising in a spinning motion. As the amount of warm air increases, the formation gains height and becomes intense. The intensity of these devastating tornadoes is such that they can clear off anything that comes in their path.
