Cancerous cells just continue to divide giving rise to masses of cells called tumors. Benign tumors normally remain confined to their original location and do not spread to other parts of the body and cause little damage. The malignant tumors, on the other hand are a mass of proliferating cells called neoplastic or tumor cells. Transformation of normal cells into cancerous neoplastic cells may be induced by physical, chemical or biological agents. Ionising radiations like X-rays and gamma rays and non-ionizing radiations like UV cause cancer. Cancer-causing viruses are called oncogenic viruses which have viral oncogenes. The substances to which an immune response is produced are called allergens. The antibodies produced to these are of IgE type. Common examples of allergens are mites in dust, pollens, animal dander, etc. The primary lymphoid organs are bone marrow and thymus. The secondary lymphoid organs provide the sites for interaction of lymphocytes with the antigen, which then proliferate to become effector cells.

Molar conductivity \(\left(\Lambda_m\right)\) of a solution at a given concentration (c) is the conductance of volume, V of solution, containing one mole of electrolyte kept between the two electrodes with area of cross-section A and at a distance of unit length. It increases with the decrease in concentration and when the concentration approaches zero, the molar conductivity is called limiting molar
conductivity \(\left(\Lambda_m^0\right)\). For a strong electrolyte, \(\Lambda_m\) increases linearly with dilution and is given by \(\Lambda_m=\Lambda_m^0-A c^{1 / 2}\). The value of the constant A for a given solvent depends on the type of electrolyte along with temperature. According to Kohlrausch law, the value of \(\Lambda_m^0\) for an electrolyte is \(\Lambda_m^0=\nu_{+} \lambda_{+}^0+\nu_{-} \lambda_{-}^0\), where \(\nu_{+}\)and \(\nu_{-}\) are the number of cations and anions, respectively, per molecule of the electrolyte and \(\lambda_{+}^0\) and \(\lambda_{-}^0\) are limiting molar conductivities of cation and anion, respectively. Kohlrausch law finds many applications, like determining the solubility of a sparingly soluble salt, determining the degree of dissociation \(\left(\Lambda_m / \Lambda_m^0\right)\), and the dissociation constant of a weak electrolyte.
The plot between \(\Lambda_m\) and \(c^{1 / 2}\) is a straight line withCUET 2025 Medium - The domain of \(y=\cos ^{-1}\left(x^2-4\right)\) isCUET 2025 Easy
