Plastids are double-membrane organelle which are found in the cells of plants and algae. Plastids are responsible for manufacturing and storing of food. These often contain pigments that are used in photosynthesis and different types of pigments that can change the colour of the cell.
There are different types of plastids with their specialized functions. Among which few are mainly classified based on the presence or absence of the Biological pigments and their stages of development.
- Chloroplasts
- Chromoplasts
- Gerontoplasts
- Leucoplasts

Diffusion is nothing but the movement of molecules from it's higher concentration to loyer concentration.
Diffusion in gases is faster than in liquids & solids because in gases the particles are not fixed they can vibrate in all directions and move freely.
Hence diffusion of gases tells that the particles of a gas have higher movements unlike in solids &liquids.

Yes they will work similarly in landfill sites the process of making them favourable is downstream processing.
They have to pass through tests and after passing then only they are approved for commercial use.

Striated muscles are the skeletal muscles which are also known as voluntary muscles. They are called voluntary muscles because their action is under the control of the somatic nervous system and their movement can be controlled by us (Eg: Bicep muscles), unlike as in the case of involuntary muscles (Eg: cardiac muscles). The muscle fibers of striated muscles are multinucleated and cylindrical. These muscles are attached to the bones and tendons and are responsible for the movements of the skeleton. The striated muscles have longitudinal and cross striations.

Muscular tissue is a specialized tissue in animals which applies forces to different parts of the body by contraction. It is made up of thin and elongated cells called muscle fibers. It controls the movement of an organism.
Movement is the main function of muscular tissue. They have the ability to contract and this is what brings about the movement of body parts. They also help to maintain body posture and position.

Temperatures measured on the Kelvin scale are reported simply as K, not °K because it is an absolute scale. The Kelvin temperature scale is a thermodynamic temperature scale for all universal events, such that all temperatures on this scale are positive. The freezing point of water is 273.15 K and the boiling point of water is 373.15°K.

| Plant tissue | Animal tissue |
| Cells of plant tissue have cell wall. | Cells of animal tissue do not have cell wall. |
| Some tissues are living and some are dead. | All tissues are living. |
| Growth is restricted to the tips of stem and roots. | Growth is uniform all over the body. |
| They are mainly of two types permanent tissue and meristematic tissue. | They are of four types muscle tissue, epithelial tissue, nervous tissue and connective tissue. |
| These tissues require less energy and maintenance as plants do not require movement. | Due to entensive body mobility these tissues require more energy and maintenance. |
| They provide strength and support to the plant. | They control all functions. |

Hypotonic solution is a solution which, contains lesser solute concentration. If animal and plant cells are kept in a hypotonic solution then endosmosis will occur. Endosmosis is a process in which the water molecules move from outside of the cell of lower solute concentration to the inside of the cell of higher solute concentration through the cell membrane or cell wall. Due to endosmosis, both animal and plant cells will swell.

Feudalism(feudal system) was common in France before the French revolution.
The system consisted of the granting of land for return for military services.
In a feudal system, a peasant or worker received a piece of land in return for serving a lord or king, especially during times of war.
The peasant now is called as a VASSAL.
In the late medieval period, this system became hereditary.
Feudalism discouraged trade and economic growth. And it discouraged unified government.

Under low pressure condition we can boil water at room temperature. Explanation: When we heat the water, the temperature of the water rises. Due to this the water molecule “gains kinetic energy” and starts to move and escapes to the atmosphere in the form of vapor. Water typically boils at 100°C when the pressure is equal to 1 atm, but when the pressure is reduced using a vacuum pump, the water boils at room temperature. When the pressure above a liquid is reduced, the vapor pressure needed to induce boiling is also reduced, and the boiling point of the liquid decreases.

In humid weather it takes longer time to dry wet clothes because the moisture and water vapour are present in humid weather they gets slight absorbed by the clothes and clothes maintain their wetness due to this they take a longer time to dry and in humid weather they don't get enough sunlight to dry themselves at a faster or normal rate, so they take a long time due to these reasons.

Stem cutting: Stem cutting refers to a process used during vegetative propagation whereby a piece of the plant’s stem is rooted in a growth medium such as moist soil. The stem cutting will thrive and grow as a new plant, which is entirely independent of the mother plant provided that the conditions are suitable. Plants like sugarcane, eggplant, black pepper, etc are propagated through stem cutting.

Peroxisomes, sometimes called microbodies are generally small (about 0.1 – 1.0 µm in diameter) organelles found in animal and plant cells. They can vary in size within the same organism. They are called peroxisomes because they all produce hydrogen peroxide. Peroxisomes absorb nutrients that the cell has acquired. They are very well known for digesting fatty acids. They also play a part in the way organisms digest alcohol (ethanol). Because they do that job, you would expect liver cells to have more peroxisomes than most other cells in a human body.

Ice is more effective han water at 273 K as it posseses the latent heat of fusion of ice. On turning to liquid ice will absorb this extra amount of heat from substance and cool it in the process.
