Why do cat's eyes glow at night?
424 063b566c228c33f137b2dd061Cats (and many other animals) have a layer of cells behind their retinas called the tapetum lucidum. This layer enhances night vision by reflecting light that passes through the retina back into the eyes. When light enters the eye, some of it is absorbed by the retina's cells, allowing the brain to process visual information. However, the tapetum lucidum reflects the remaining light back through the retina, giving the photoreceptor cells a second chance to detect the light. This reflection of light enhances their night vision capabilities and is what causes a cat's eyes to appear to glow in the dark or in low light conditions.
What is the name of Rh factor related to?
407 063b566624a6bba4bab1d66c7The term "Rh factor" is derived from the Rhesus monkey, in which the protein was first discovered. The Rh factor is a protein that can be present on the surface of red blood cells, and it is named after the Rhesus monkey because the protein was initially identified in Rhesus monkey blood during scientific experiments. The Rh factor is an important component in blood typing and can be either Rh-positive (presence of the protein) or Rh-negative (absence of the protein) in humans.

Which of the following glands/organs in human body secretes bile juice?
612 06419be91b34a0b67fcf5e0acBile juice is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, which is a small organ located beneath the liver. When needed, bile is released from the gallbladder into the small intestine to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins. So, the correct answer is the liver secretes bile juice, and it is stored in the gallbladder before being released into the small intestine.
Which is a major essential lipophilic (fat-soluble) vitamin required for the protection of cell membranes and the formation of red blood cells (RBCs)?
484 06441289a1ce944a93eb482c3Vitamins 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.
What is the correct statement related to Avogadro?
524 0647a17a851bf194753ed82dbThis 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.
