1. The lowest velocity used to escape the gravitational pull of the Earth is called escape velocity.

2. The escape velocity of the Earth is 11.2 km/second.

1. Pancreatic juice contains a lipase enzyme, which decomposes emulsified fats.

2. Lipase: It is an enzyme found in pancreatic juice and responsible for the breakdown of emulsified fats.

Manikya, also known as ruby, and sapphire are gemstones that are forms of the mineral corundum. Corundum is not an oxide but rather a crystalline form of aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃). Both ruby and sapphire are varieties of corundum, with ruby being red due to the presence of chromium impurities, and sapphire coming in various colors, except red (which would be classified as ruby), often due to different trace elements.

All of the following are matched. 

(A) DPT - Vaccine

(B) DOTS - Tuberculosis 

(C) Adrenaline - Hormone

1. Amazon rain forests have also been called the lungs of planet Earth.

2. These rain forests of South America are the largest and have the highest diversity of tropical rain forests on our planet.

3. They provide 20% of the total oxygen of our planet.

An amphoteric oxide is a type of oxide that can act as both an acid and a base. This means it can react with both acids and bases, either accepting or donating protons (H⁺ ions) depending on the pH of the solution. Amphoteric oxides exhibit this dual behavior because they have both acidic and basic properties. Aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) and zinc oxide (ZnO) are examples of common amphoteric oxides.

Metals are electropositive elements because they tend to lose electrons easily. In chemical reactions, metals readily give away their outer electrons to form positive ions, making them good conductors of electricity and heat. This electron loss leads to the formation of cations, which contribute to the electropositive nature of metals.

1 volt = 1 joule / 1 coulomb

This equation represents the definition of voltage (in volts). It states that one volt is equal to one joule of energy per one coulomb of charge. Voltage measures the electric potential difference between two points and is a fundamental concept in electrical physics.
