Protein synthesis takes place in the cell on ribosomes. Ribosomes are cellular structures composed of RNA and proteins, and they are the sites where amino acids are linked together to form proteins, following the instructions encoded in messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules. This process, called translation, is a fundamental cellular mechanism essential for the synthesis of various proteins necessary for the functioning of the cell and the organism as a whole. Ribosomes can be found both in the cytoplasm of the cell and attached to the endoplasmic reticulum in eukaryotic cells.

If the image formed in a mirror is always erect (upright) and equal in size to the object, the mirror is a flat mirror (plane mirror). Flat mirrors reflect light without distorting the image, producing an erect image that is the same size as the object and reversed from left to right.

The refractive index of diamond is approximately 2.42. Diamond has a very high refractive index, which means it bends light at a significant angle when it enters the diamond, contributing to its sparkling brilliance.

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

Dolly (5 July 1996 – 14 February 2003) was a female domestic sheep, and the first mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell using the process of nuclear transfer.

1. Which plane mirror is used to make periscope?

2. An optical instrument used to see through an object that is occluded from the direct line of sight is called a periscope.

3. A periscope consists of two plane mirrors placed at an angle of 45°.

4. When light falls on one of the mirrors then after reflection from the first mirror it falls on the second mirror which further reflects it and falls on the eye of the observer.
