Which one of the following processes during decomposition is correctly described ?
Updated On: Apr 21, 2025
- Fragmentation - Carried out by organisms such as earthworm
- Humification - Leads to the accumulation of a dark coloured substance humus which undergoes microbial action at a very fast rate
- Catabolism - Last step in the decomposition under fully anaerobic condition
- Leaching - Water soluble inorganic nutrients rise to the top layers of soil

- Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Fig fruit is a non-vegetarian fruit as it has enclosed fig wasps in it.
Statement II: Fig wasp and fig tree exhibit a mutual relationship as the fig wasp completes its life cycle in the fig fruit and the fig fruit gets pollinated by the fig wasp. - Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Cells of the tapetum possess dense cytoplasm and generally have more than one nucleus.
Reason (R): Presence of more than one nucleus in the tapetum increases the efficiency of nourishing the developing microspore mother cells.- NEET (UG) - 2025

A bob of heavy mass \(m\) is suspended by a light string of length \(l\). The bob is given a horizontal velocity \(v_0\) as shown in figure. If the string gets slack at some point P making an angle \( \theta \) from the horizontal, the ratio of the speed \(v\) of the bob at point P to its initial speed \(v_0\) is :
