Insect-capturing leaves Carnivorous plants, such as the butterwort, pitcher plant, sundew, and Venus’s-flytrap, have leaves that capture insects. These leaves, like other
leaves, can make food using sunlight. But they also have features that attract, trap, and then digest insects. Plants with insect-capturing leaves grow in wetlands, where the soil contains little nitrogen. They obtain this [...]

MASS
Mass is a measure of the quantity of inertia or matter possessed by a body. It is a scalar quantity and measured in kilograms.
(i) If a body has large inertia, it will resist a change in its state of rest or of uniform motion to a much greater extent than will a body with a [...]

MODERN scientific ideas, techniques and methods were introduced in India from 16 century onwards in a gradual manner. The pace picked up after the British came to India and started consolidating their hold over the country in the l8 century The 19 century was a crucial period in the development of European science in India.

If the volume of a gas is sufficiently reduced by compressing it, or cooling it, or both, the gas will condense to a liquid. A number of substances in the gaseous state at room temperature can be condensed to a liquid by pressure alone. Other gases resist,./ liquefaction regardless of the pressure imposed, and ‘con [...]

Three simple laws have been stated to express the relationships between pressure, temperature and volume of gases. Though they are absolutely accurate only for ‘ideal’ gases, they are valid, to a great extent, for all gases.
(i) Boyle’s Law states that if the temperature remains the same, the pressure upon a confined body is inversely proportional [...]
