Which of the following is not the alien invasive species?

We use microbes and microbially derived products almost every day. Bacteria called lactic acid bacteria (LAB) grow in milk to convert it into curd. The dough, which is used to make bread, is fermented by yeast called Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Microbes are used to produce industrial products like lactic acid, acetic acid and alcohol, which are used in a variety of processes in the industry. However, certain bacteria, which grow anaerobically on cellulosic material, produce large amount of methane along with CO2 and H2. These bacteria are collectively called methanogens, and one such common bacterium is Methanobacterium. These bacteria are commonly found in the anaerobic sludge during sewage treatment. Microbes are also used for commercial and industrial production of certain chemicals like organic acids, alcohols and enzymes.
Examples of acid producers are Aspergillus niger (a fungus) of citric acid. You are familiar with the commonly used antibiotic Penicillin. Do you know that Penicillin was the first antibiotic to be discovered, and it was a chance discovery? Statins produced by the yeast Monascus purpureus have been commercialised as blood-cholesterol lowering agents. It acts by competitively inhibiting the enzyme responsible for synthesis of cholesterol.
Statins produced by the yeast Monascus purpureus have been commercialised as blood-cholesterol lowering agents. It acts by:

Alcohol is a depressant, which means that even small amounts of alcohol slow down the actions of parts of the brain, so alcohol lengthens the time you take to respond to a stimulus.
Different people react differently to alcohol. In some people, it increase their feelings of aggression, and releases their inhibitions so that they are more likely to be violent or commit other crimes.
An alcoholic needs to drink quite large quantities of alcohol regularly. This causes many parts of the body to be damaged, because alcohol is poisonous to cells. Probably, there are many factors which decide whether or not a person becomes alcoholic. Over a long period of time, it can cause loss of memory and confusion. One way in which the damage is done is that alcohol in the body fluids draws water out of cells by osmosis.
Alcohol lengthens the time one takes to respond to a stimulus. This occurs due to

Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.
Plasmodium, a tiny protozoan is responsible for the disease malaria. 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. Innate immunity consist of four types of barriers. These are – (i) Physical barriers- skin on our body is the main barrier which prevents entry of the micro-organisms. (ii) Physiological barriers- Acid in the stomach, saliva in the mouth, tears from eyes-all prevent microbial growth. (iii) Cellular barriers- 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. (iv) Cytokine barriers- virus-infected cells secrete proteins called interferons which protect non-infected cells from further viral infection. Allergy is due to the release of chemicals like histamine and serotonin from the mast cells. The use of drugs like anti-histamine, adrenalin and steroids quickly reduce the symptoms of allergy. Drugs like barbiturates, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, and other similar drugs, that are normally used as medicines to help patients cope with mental illnesses like depression and insomnia, are often abused.
Which one of the following drugs or chemicals can not quickly reduce the symptoms of allergy?

Somaclones are:

The correct sequence of the formation of pollen grains is -
(A) Sporogenous tissue
(B) Formation of microspore
(C) Microspore tetrad formed by meiotic divisions
(D) Pollen grains develop from microspores
Choose the correct answer from the options given below

Antibody molecule is made up of four peptide chain called as light and heavy chain are joined together by :

If the two lines \(\frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{y-3}{4}=-z\) and \(\frac{x-4}{3}=\frac{y-1}{-2}=z-1\) are contained in a plane then the equation of the plane is :

The correct IUPAC name of the following organic compound is

Which of the following matrices is symmetric as well as skew-symmetric?

If \(a\) and \(b\) are the order and degree of the differential equation
\(\frac{\left[1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^2\right]^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}}=K \text { respectively, then }\)
the value of \(a+2 b\) is :

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions:
Optically active polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones or molecules which provide such units on hydrolysis are called carbohydrates. They can be broadly classified as monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides depending on their behavior towards hydrolysis. They are also classified as reducing or non-reducing sugars. Another class of biomolecules is proteins which are polymers of twenty different amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Amino acids can be classified as acidic, basic or neutral depending on the relative number of amino and carboxyl groups in their
molecule. The essential amino acids cannot be synthesized by our body and hence must be provided through diet. Nucleic acids are the polymers of nucleotides which in turn consist of a base, pentose sugar and phosphate. There are two types of nucleic acids namely, DNA and RNA which differ in the composition of sugar and a base
The sugar moiety in DNA and RNA molecules, respectively, are

A resistor and a capacitor are connected in series with an alternating current source. The potential difference across resistor and capacitor are 90 V and 120 V respectively and rms value of current is 3 A. What is the power factor of the circuit?
