|
| 31319. |
What is constructor? |
|
Answer» The definition of a class only creates a new user defined data type. The instances of the class type should be instantiated (created and initialized). Instantiating object is done using constructor. An array or a structure in C++ can be initialized during the time of their declaration. The initialization of class type object at the time of declaration similar to a structure or an array is not possible because the class members have their associated access specifiers (private or protected or public). Therefore Classes include special member functions called as constructors. The constructor function initializes the class object. |

|
Answer» Since, Q = KA(θ1 − θ2)t/x \(\frac{Q_A}{t}\) = KAAA(θ1 − θ2)/x \(\frac{Q_B}{t}\) = KBAB(θ1 − θ2)/x For quale rates of flow \(\frac{Q_A}{t}\) = \(\frac{Q_B}{t}\) or KAAA = KBAB. |
|
| 31322. |
Two bodies at different temperatures T1 and T2, if brought in thermal Contact, do not necessarily settle of the mean temperature (T1 + T2)/2.Why? |
|
Answer» In thermal contact, teat flows from the body at highre temperature to the body at lower temperature till temperatures become equal. The final temperature can be the mean temperature (T1 + T2)/ 2 only when thermal capacities of the bodies are equal. |

Explain in brief the process of initiation during protein synthesis. |
|
Answer» Initiation of synthesis of polypeptide chain takes place as follows: 1. Small subunit of ribosome binds to the m-RNA at 5’ end. 2. Start codon is positioned properly at Psite. 3. Initiator t-RNA, (carrying methionine in eukaryotes or formyl methionine in prokaryotes) binds with initiation codon (AUG) of m-RNA by it’s anticodon (UAC). Codon-anti-codon pairing involves formation of hydrogen bonds. 4. The large subunit and smaller subunit of ribosome bind in the presence of Mg++ . 5. Thus, initiator charged t-RNA occupies the P-site and A-site is vacant for next charged t-RNA. |
|
| 31331. |
Give Reason :Protein synthesis is the most important and essential activity in the living cells. |
|
Answer» 1. Proteins play a significant role in the metabolism of living cells. 2. The actual phenotypic expression of living cells is dependent on the biochemical reactions. 3. Each biochemical reaction needs a specific enzyme for its initiation and completion. All the enzymes are proteins. 4. In a cell there are many structural proteins too. Thousands of structural and catalytic proteins are constantly required within the cell at all times. 5. Many functional proteins like hormones are also important for metabolism. Thus, for the synthesis of all such proteins, protein synthesis has become the most important and essential activity of the living cell. |

By selling 45 lemons, a vendor loses a sum equal to the selling price of 3 lemons. Find the loss percent. |
|
Answer» Let us consider the lemons price as x The SP of 3 lemons = 3x SP of 45 lemons = 45x ∴ The CP of 45 lemons = 45x + 3x = 48x Since, SP is less than CP so it’s a loss. Loss = CP – SP = 48x – 45x = 3x Loss % = (loss × 100) / CP = (3x × 100) / 48x =300x/48x = 6.25% ∴ The Loss percent is 6.25% |
