83. (d) Zinc oxide is used to shine the utensils. Some other oxides used to shine different objects are – silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, barium oxide, sodium oxide etc.

84. (b) Density of water is maximum at 277 k.

85. (a) Freezing and boiling point is marked at 0° and 100° respectively in Celsius scale. In Fahrenheit they are marked at 32° and 212° respectively. At -40° temperature the reading on a Celsius thermometer is same as a Fahrenheit thermometer.

86. (a) Hydrogen bomb was invented by American scientist Edward Taylor in 1952. It works on the principle of nuclear fusion. It is 100 times destructive than atom bomb.

87. (a) Oxide of Deuterium is known as heavy water because it contains deuterium which is a heavy isotope of Hydrogen. Its density is higher than normal water and it is manufactured in Trombay in Maharashtra.

88. (b) All biological compounds are made of carbon. Carbon is compulsorily found in all carbonic compounds.

89. (d) Compound named Aluminum sulfate is used to make fire resistant cloths.

90. (a) Other than nitro chloroform, all three, Trinitro Glycerene (TNG), Trinitro Tolvin (TNT) and potassium chlorate are explosives. Nitro chloroform is used as Anesthetics.

91. (b) Oxidation of a molecule of pyruvic acid gives 1 molecule of ATP, five molecules of NADH and one molecule of FADH₂. One molecule of NADH gives 3 molecules ATP and one molecule of FADH₂ gives one molecule of ATP. 2 molecules of ADP form 2 molecules of ATP.

92. (c) Calcium is the most abundant element in human bones. Calcium is a chief component of bones, egg shells and sea shells. Calcium is also the most abundant substance found in milk.

93. (b) Bone Mineral Density (BMD) is used to determine the level of calcium in bones. It is also used to determine its quality.

94. (c) Insulin is a peptide hormone which is produced in the lagerhans cells of beta cells of pancreas. It controls the level of glucose in the body. Primary structure of insulin was discovered by British biologist Fredric Sangar. It was the first protein whose series was known. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1958 for this achievement. In chemical composition, it is a peptide hormone which is made up of 51 amino acids. Zinc is also present in insulin. It is also obtained from the roots of dahlia. Invention of artificial insulin by Batting and West has made the human victory over diabetes immortal.

95. (b) Proteins are made from amino acid. In other words, amino acid is the building unit of protein. These acids are not stored in human body.

96. (a) Weight of human body is maximum at the poles. Since the gravitational pull is maximum at the poles and minimum at the equator therefore human bodies weigh more on the poles.
