The net primary productivity (NPP) in an ecosystem can be represented by:

During sewage treatment, the anaerobic sludge digesters produce the biogas. The components of biogas are -

Heroin, commonly called smack is chemically _________ which is a white, odourless, bitter crystalline compound.

Read the Passage carefully and answer the the questions
The DNA fragments can be separated by a technique known as gel electrophoresis. Since DNA fragments are negatively charged molecules, they can be separated by forcing them to move towards the anode under an electric field through a medium/matrix. The separated DNA fragments can be visualised only after staining the DNA with a compound known as ethidium bromide followed by exposure to UV radiation. The repeated amplification of DNA is achieved by the use of a thermostable DNA polymerase (isolated from a bacterium, Thermus aquaticus). After completion of the biosynthetic stage, the product has to be subjected through a series of processes before it is ready for marketing as a finished product. The downstream processing and quality control testing vary from product to product. The convention for naming restriction enzymes is the first letter of the name comes from the genus and the second two letters come from the species of the prokaryotic cell from which they were isolated.
In agarose gel electrophoresis, DNA fragments move towards _______ under an electric field through a medium.

Sickle cell anaemia is :

The phenomenon where a single gene can have multiple phenotypic effects is known as:

If the area of the triangle with vertices A(x, 4), B(-2, 4) and C(2,-6) is 35 sq units, then the values of 2 are:

An angular magnification of 30 X is desired using an objective lens of focal length 1.25 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 5 cm. What should be the separation between objective and eyepiece when the final image is formed at the near point ?

Excess of Lead from human body can be removed by using which of the following chelating agents?

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

The value of the integral \(\int_2^4 \frac{x}{x^2+1} d x\) is :

Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the given questions.
Certain types of leukocytes (WBC) of our body like polymorpho-nuclear leukocytes (PMNL-neutrophils) and monocytes and natural killer (type of lymphocytes) in the blood as well as macrophages in tissues can phagocytose and destroy microbes. For determining the cause of allergy, the patient is exposed to or injected with very small doses of possible allergens, and the reactions studied. The use of drugs like anti-histamine, adrenalin and steroids quickly reduce the symptoms of allergy. Heroin, commonly called smack is chemically diacetylmorphine which is a white, odourless, bitter crystalline compound. This is obtained by acetylation of morphine. Techniques like radiography (use of X-rays), CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) are very useful to detect cancers of the internal organs. Different species of Plasmodium (P. vivax, P. malaria and P. falciparum) are responsible for different types of malaria. Of these, malignant malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum is the most serious one and can even be fatal.
Which of the following technique is not very useful to detect the cancers of internal organs?
