The sclera is the dense connective tissue of the eyeball that forms the "white" of the eye. It is continuous with the stroma layer of the cornea. The junction between the white sclera and the clear cornea is called the limbus.
The sclera ranges in thickness from about 0.3 millimeter (mm) to 1.0 mm. It is composed of fibrils (small fibers) of collagen that are arranged in irregular and interlacing bundles. The random arrangement and interweaving of these connective tissue fibers are what account for the strength and flexibility of the eyeball.
The sclera is relatively inactive metabolically and has only a limited blood supply. Some blood vessels pass through the sclera to other tissues, but the sclera itself is considered avascular (lacking blood vessels).

Graphite is structurally composed of planes of polycyclic carbon atoms that are hexagonal in orientation. The distance of carbon atoms between planes is longer and therefore the bonding is weaker. Graphite is best suited for lubrication in air. It is a mineral made of loosely bonded sheets of carbon atoms, giving it a slippery texture that makes it a very effective lubricant. This slippery quality also makes graphite a good material for pencil lead because it easily sloughs off onto paper. Graphite is bonded by covalent bond, thus, it is helf by weak intermolecular forces. Since it has weak intermolecular forces, graphite would be slippery and soft enough to act as a lubricant.

Acidity and alkalinity are expressed on the pH scale, which ranges from 0 (strongly acidic) to 14 (strongly basic or alkaline). A pH of 7.0, in the middle of this scale, is neutral. Blood is normally slightly basic, with a normal pH range of 7.35 to 7.45. Usually the body maintains the pH of blood close to 7.40.

514. Which green house gas other than methane is produced by agricultural fields?
Nitrous oxide is a powerful greenhouse gas produced by soil cultivation practices, especially the use of commercial organic fertilizers (including manure), biomass burning etc, This is done by a process of nitrification which converts the nitrogen in fertilizer to the production of nitrous oxide. The excessive use of the fertilizers thereby results in an increase in the nitrous oxide production.

B

C

D

A wave is an propagation of energy along a medium. Waves need a medium in order for them to travel from one point or another. A wave is a particulate transfer of motion from one point to another. A very good example of the need of a medium is regarding sound. Sound cannot travel through a vacuum. This is because there are no air molecules to transfer the energy of the sound propagation. Hence no sound travels through the vacuum. The particle to particle interaction and vibration results in the transfer of energy in a wave propagation.

529. The chemical name of which of the following vitamins is Ergocalciferol?
Water has a relatively high heat capacity, meaning it can absorb a lot of heat before its temperature rises. This trait allows the water in every cell of the human body to act as a buffer against sudden temperature changes. Blood, which is made largely of water, moves heat away from the extremities and toward the vital organs when it needs to conserve heat, it flows towards the skin surface to release excess heat when necessary, and it transports muscle heat away as needed. Water also helps expel excess heat from the body as water vapor from the lungs and sweat on the skin.

Newton`s first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest, or, if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force. This is also known as the law of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest or remain in motion.
Benefit of tidal power is that it is predictable. The gravitational forces of celestial bodies are not going to stop anytime soon. Furthermore, as high and low tide is cyclical, it is far easier for engineers to design efficient systems, than say, predicting when the wind will blow or when the sun will shine.

A simple pendulum consists of a relatively massive object hung by a string from a fixed support. It typically hangs vertically in its equilibrium position. The massive object is affectionately referred to as the pendulum bob. When the bob is displaced from equilibrium and then released, it begins its back and forth vibration about its fixed equilibrium position. The motion is regular and repeating, an example of periodic motion.
