Answer :
Explanation :

An organelle called Eyespot allows some protists to detect light. It allows the cells to sense light direction and intensity and respond to it by swimming either towards the light (positive phototaxis) or away from the light (negative phototaxis).   Eyespot is a photoreceptive organelle found in the flagellate or (motile) cells of green algae and other unicellular photosynthetic organisms such as euglenids.   Eyespot-mediated light perception helps the cells in finding an environment with optimal light conditions for photosynthesis. Eyespots are the simplest and most common "eyes" found in nature, composed of photoreceptors and areas of bright orange-red pigment granules.

Q: In the following question, two equations numbered 1 and 2 are given. You have to solve both the equations and determine the relation between a and b. 1.  5a2-18a+9=0 2.  3b2+5b-2=0 1604 0

Answer : 4. "a > b"
Explanation :

Answer: D) a > b Explanation: From solving 1 and 2 we get,   1. 5a(a-3)-3(a-3) = 0   (5a-3)(a-3) = 0   a = 3 or 3/5   2.    3b(b+2)-1(b+2) = 0   b = -2 or b = 1/3   Here when a = 3, a > b for b = -2 and b = 1/3   when a = 3/5. a > b for b = -2 and b = 1/3.   Hence, it is clear that a > b.

Answer: D) 104 Explanation: India’s space agency on Feb 15th, 2017 launched a record 104 satellites from a single rocket as it crossed another milestone in its low-cost space-exploration program. The satellites from seven countries were carried by the Indian Space Research Organization’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle on its 38th consecutive successful flight. On board was a 714kg satellite for earth observation and more than 100 smaller satellites weighing less than 10kg each. Three were Indian-owned, 96 were from US companies, and the rest belonged to companies based in Israel, Kazakhstan, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates. Most were owned by Planet Labs Inc, a US-based Earth-imaging company.
