Science and Technology GK Questions

Vitamins A, D, E, and K are called the fat-soluble vitamins, because they are soluble in organic solvents and are absorbed and transported in a manner similar to that of fats. Vitamin E deficiency, which is rare and usually due to an underlying problem with digesting dietary fat rather than from a diet low in vitamin E, can cause nerve problems.

This is a fundamental constant in chemistry that represents the number of atoms or molecules in one mole of a substance. (Option 4 is correct) Its value is approximately 6.022 x 10²³, and it is denoted by the symbol "N_A". Avogadro's number is a key concept in stoichiometry. The branch of chemistry deals with the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in chemical reactions.

n 1855, at the age of 34, he published his now famous aphorism “omnis cellula e cellula” (“every cell stems from another cell”). With this approach Virchow launched the field of cellular pathology. He stated that all diseases involve changes in normal cells, that is, all pathology ultimately is cellular pathology.

The National Chemical Laboratory (NCL) is an ~ Indian Government laboratory based in Pune, popularly known as NCL, a constituent member of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) India, it was established in 1950

EDUSAT or GSAT-3 is a communications satellite which was launched on 20th September, 2004 by the Indian Space Research Organisation. EDUSAT is the first Indian satellite built exclusively to serve the educational sector. It has revolutionised classroom teaching through IP based technology

The Word root indicates the total number of carbon atoms present in the longest carbon chain belonging to the compound For example, 'Meth' refers to a chain with 1 carbon atom and 'Pent' refers to a chain with 5 carbon atoms. metalloid in dictionary chemical name is Naoh. Nylon properties: Atomic number of iodine. Dobereiner Traids an Atomic compound.

Geostationary satellites are located exactly above the Earth’s equator and revolves around the Earth in a circular orbit. Their revolving speed and direction (West to East) are exactly same as that of the Earth, which makes it look stationary from the Earth’s surface.

Fermentation is a metabolic process that produces chemical changes in organic substrates through the action of enzymes. In biochemistry, it is narrowly defined as the extraction of energy from carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen.

Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, discovered on 28 February 1928, that when a beam of coloured light entered a liquid, a fraction of the light scattered was of a different color, dependent on material property. This radiation effect of molecular scattering of light bears the name of ‘Raman Effect’, from which many applications in photonic communications and spectroscopy evolved. The Raman Effect is the process of scattering light particles by molecules of a medium.

Process Control Block (PCB, also called Task Controlling Block, Task Structure or Switchframe) is a data structure in the Operating System kernel containing the information needed to manage a particular process.The PCB is the manifestation of a process in an Operating System.
