Answer : 4. "due to tapetum lucidum"
Explanation :

Cats (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.

Answer : 1. "They themselves convert into cations by donating electrons to non-metals."
Explanation :

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.

Answer : 2. "Heart"
Explanation :

A pacemaker is a medical device used to regulate the heartbeat in individuals with abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). It is often implanted in the chest to help control the heart's rhythm and treat conditions like bradycardia (slow heart rate) or other rhythm disorders. Pacemakers are typically prescribed by cardiologists, specialized doctors who diagnose and treat heart-related conditions. The decision to implant a pacemaker is made by a healthcare provider based on the patient's specific medical condition and needs.
