The excretory framework comprises organs that eliminate metabolic wastes and toxins from the body. Waste that is produced by the human body is removed with the help of urine and other waster products through the bloodstream. Solid waste is removed from the large intestine and the expulsion of urea occurs in the kidneys. The excretory framework in people comprises primarily of the kidneys and bladder. Urea is filtered by the kidney. Other organs, like the liver, process toxins but put their wastes back to the blood. it’s up to the kidneys to filter the blood so that toxic substances don’t accumulate.
Functions of excretory:
It directs the liquid balance of the body, keeping up sufficient salt and water levels.
When there is an overabundance of water, it is taken out of the human body through the production of hypotonic urine.
It helps maintain a balance between the digestive system also.
It ensures that homeostasis is maintained even when we intake a lot of protein.
The excretory system is important for preventing the toxic build from nitrogenous wastes, like ammonia or urea.
It is additionally critical in keeping up inside homeostasis.
Kidney, urinary bladder, liver, Large Intestine, lungs, or gills. These are the main excretory organs that are involved in the process of removal of urine and other solid waste which is generated in our body.
With help of the kidney, urea is filtered and other solid waste is cleaned through the bloodstream. Then urine is sent to Urinary Bladder which is a sac-like structure that receives urine from both the kidney and urine is stored here. The liver helps to detoxify. Ammonia is converted into urine. In the large intestine, the main function of this gland is to absorb the remaining water in the food which is undigested. It enables bacterial fermentation of undigested food.

Soils are defined as mixture of small rocks particles/debris and organic materials/ which are present on the earth surface and supports growth of plants.
There are majorly six type of soil that deposits in India. They are Alluvial soil, Black soil, Red soil, Laterite soil, Desert or Arid soil, and Forest and mountainous soil.
Alluvial soil:
* Alluvial soil is mostly a type of soil found in northern plains and river valleys in india. This type of soil is highly fertile. River like Indus and ganga, plains like Brahmaputhra plains etc. These types of soil are transported. Bhangar is a term used to describe old alluvium soil and Khadar is a term used to describe new alluvium soil.
* Colour of alluvium soil is light grey. It is rich in potash and poor in phosphorous. Crops like wheat, rice, etc grow in this type of soil.
Red soil:
* This type of soil is found mainly in low rainfall area. Red soil is also know. As Omnibus group.
* Red soil is less of lime, phosphate, potash etc. Red soil is rich in iron.
* Colour of Red soil is red in colour because it is rich in iron and had had ferric oxide. Crops like wheat, cotton, oilseeds grow in this type of soil.
Black soil / regur soil:
Black soil is also known as regur soil. Deccan area is mostly covered with black soil. It is also called as Mature soul because it has rich water retaining capacity. When the soil dries up it develops cracks and that is reason why it becomes self ploughing. These types os soil are rich in calcium, potassium etc. and poor in nitrogen, Phosphorous etc. it is deep back in colour.
Laterite soil:
The word ‘Later’ means ‘Brick’.
* It becomes soft when it is wet and so hard when it dries up. This type of soil is found in areas which are of high temperature and experience high rainfall. And as a result of that it experience high leaching. This type of soil is rich in iron and aluminum and poor in lime and Humus. The soil is red in colour as there it has rich iron oxides. Crops like Rice, Ragi, etc grows in this type of soil.
Desert Soil:
Desert soil is a type a soil which is found in desert region. They are immature soil.

A Writ means is an order that’s issued under an authority (supreme court) is understood as a writ. The Constitution of India empowers the Supreme Court and therefore the High Courts to issue Writs for the enforcement of the fundamental rights conferred by the Part-III of the Indian Constitution under Article 32 and Article 226. Writs can also be used to direct other lower courts or public authorities to try to do something or to not do something.
Habeas Corpus is a Latin term, which accurately means “You should have the body”. The writ is issued to produce an individual before a Court who has been detained or imprisoned and not produced before the magistrate within 24 hours whether in prison or private custody and would release the person if such detention is found illegal.
Mandamus artistic signifies “we order”. A writ gave by a predominant court commanding the exhibition of a predefined official act or duty. It cannot be given to constrain an edge to accomplish something against the legal arrangement. as an example, it cannot be used to compel an inferior court to dismiss or approve applications that have been made, however assuming the court won’t manage without a doubt, a mandamus is often utilized to rearrange the court to steer on the applications. any individual – be it a person or a personal body can file for the court petition under the writ of mandamus.
Certiorari is a Latin word signified as ‘to inform’. In simple terms, one can issue the writ of certiorari when the subordinate courts or the quasi-judicial bodies act in. The absence of their jurisdiction, or Exceeds their jurisdiction or Fails to form use of their jurisdiction, or Exceeds their jurisdiction or Fails to form use of their jurisdiction.
Prohibition refers to “to forbid or to stop” and is popularly referred to as “Stay order”. The writ is issued by the Supreme Court or any high court when an inferior court or a quasi-judicial body tries to violate the powers vested in it, forbidding the last from proceeding with the procedures during a specific case. In India, prohibition is issued to guard the individual against arbitrary administrative actions. Prohibition doesn’t lie against an authority discharging executive functions but against an authority discharging judicial functions.
Prohibition refers “to forbid or to stop” and is famously referred to as “Stay order”. The writ is given by the Supreme Court or any supreme court when an inferior court or a semi-legal body attempts to abuse the forces vested in it, restricting the last from proceeding with the procedures during a specific case.

Antonyms are referred to words that are totally opposite in meaning. Antonyms word was derived from greek word, ‘anti’ means ‘opposite’ and ‘onym’ means ‘name’. Making it “Opposite name”.
There are three types of antonyms:
Complementary antonyms – which have no middle ground. For example: Night-Day, Man-Women, Girl-boy, etc.
Relational antonyms – Both the words must exist, to be antonyms of each other. For example: sell – buy, Receive-give, below – above, etc.
Graded antonyms – These words can be 2 words on a scale. Words are generally related to each other but can be interpreted differently, by different groups of people. For example: Slow – fast, slim – fat, cool – warm, etc.

Sumer, the site of the oldest known civilization, situated in the southernmost piece of Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and Euphrates river, in the space that later became Babylonia and is presently southern Iraq, from around Baghdad to the Persian Gulf.
Sumer was first settled somewhere in the range of 4500 and 4000 BCE by non-Semitic individuals who didn’t communicate in the Sumerian language. These individuals presently are called proto-Euphrateans or Ubaidians, for the town Al-ʿUbayd, where their remaining parts were first found. The Ubaidians were the first socializing power in Sumer, depleting the swamps for agribusiness, creating an exchange, and setting up ventures, including weaving, leatherwork, metalwork, stonework, and ceramics. After the Ubaidian movement to Mesopotamia, different Semitic people groups invaded their region, adding their societies to the Ubaidian culture and making a high pre-Sumerian civilization.
Individuals called Sumerians, whose language turned into the predominant language of the domain, likely came from around Anatolia, showing up in Sumer around 3300 BCE. By the third thousand years BCE, the nation was the site of at any rate 12 separate city-states: Kish, Erech (Uruk), Ur, Sippar, Akshak, Larak, Nippur, Adab, Umma, Lagash, Bad-tibia, and Larsa. Every one of these states contained a walled city and its encompassing towns and land, and each revered its own god, whose sanctuary was the focal design of the city. The political force initially had a place with the residents, at the same time, as contention between the different city-states expanded, each embraced the foundation of authority. A surviving archive, The Sumerian King List, records that eight lords ruled before the incomparable Flood.
After the Flood, different city-states and their lines of lords briefly acquired control over the others. The principal lord to join the different city-states was Etana, leader of Kish (2800 BCE). From that point, Kish, Erech, Ur, and Lagash competed for power for many years, delivering Sumer defenseless against outside champions, first, the Elamites (2530–2450 BCE) and later the Akkadians, driven by their ruler Sargon (ruled 2334–2279 BCE). Despite the fact that Sargon’s line kept going for just around 100 years, it joined the city-states and made a model of government that affected all of Middle Eastern civilization.

What Is a Depression?
Depression is a serious and delayed slump in financial action. In financial matters, a depression is ordinarily characterized as a limit downturn that keeps going at least three years or which prompts a decrease in the gross domestic product (GDP) of at any rate 10% per annum in a given year. Depressions are generally less regular than milder downturns and will in general be joined by high joblessness and low expansion.
In the midst of depression, buyer certainty and speculations decline, making the economy shut down. Monetary elements that portray a depression include:
• Substantial expansions in employment.
• A drop in accessible credit.
• Diminishing yield and production.
• Consistent negative GDP downfall.
• Increase in Bankruptcies.
• Sovereign obligation defaults.
• Reduced exchange and worldwide business.
• Bear market in stocks.
• Sustained resource value unpredictability and falling money esteems.
• Increased investment funds rate (among the individuals who can save)
Depression versus Recession
A recession is a typical piece of the business cycle that by and large happens when GDP contracts for in any event two quarters. A depression, then again, is a limit fall in monetary action that goes on for quite a long time, as opposed to only a few quarters. This makes recession considerably more typical. Since 1854, there have been 33 downturns in the U.S. furthermore, only one depression.
In addition, a downturn is set apart by financial analysts as two successive quarters of negative GDP development, regardless of whether those times of the withdrawal are moderately gentle. A depression, then again, is set apart by a drop in a year’s GDP of more than 10% or more.
Example of a Depression
The Great Depression endured around 10 years and is broadly viewed as the most exceedingly awful monetary decline throughout the entire existence of the industrialized world. It started soon after the Oct. 24, 1929, U.S. securities exchange crash known as Black Thursday. Following quite a while of crazy contributing and theory, the financial exchange bubble burst, and a colossal auction started, with a record 12.9 million shares exchanged.

Irrigation is the artificial process of applying controlled amounts of water to land to assist in the production of crops.* Irrigation helps to grow crops. Crops are consumed by humans for their survival.
There are different types of irrigation methods:
Sprinkler irrigation – In this method supply of water is in a way that it sprinkles into the air and falls on the ground like rainwater. Small nozzles are made and water is supplied under pressure with the help of a pump. This type of irrigation is practiced on shallow lands or on even lands. This method of irrigation is not that expensive. This method is used for the plantation of crops like tea, coffee, rubber, etc.
Drip irrigation – It is a modern technique. It is also known as trickle irrigation. The dripping method was used in early times to grow plants like tulsi. A hanging pitcher was hanged above the plant and a hole was made so that water drips into the plant every minute.
Surface irrigation – The surface water system has been drilled and followed for a long time now. It can be characterized collectively by strategies where water is conveyed over the outside of the soil gravity. In this sort of water system, either the field is flooded with water (this is known as Basin Irrigation) or the water is taken care of into little channels (this is known as furrow irrigation).
Basin irrigation – Basin Irrigation technique is essentially utilized for crops that remain in the water for more expanded periods, flatlands where rice is developed, or in porches on slopes. In Basin Irrigation level spaces of land are encircled by low bunds. These bunds block the water and keep it from entering the contiguous fields. Trees can likewise be developed utilizing the bowl water system technique. Basin water system is appropriate for pastures, citrus, banana, and somewhat tobacco. This strategy can’t be utilized for crops that can’t stand waterlogged like potatoes, beetroot, and carrots. The sort of harvest developed decides the dirt reasonable for bowl water system Basin water system can be built on a level surface, the simpler it is to construct bowls, slanting area. Level bowls, called patios, can be built on the means of a flight of stairs.

Glucose is also known as ‘dextrose’( D-Glucose). Glucose is nothing but a simple form of sugar. The word glucose was derived from the French word “glukos” which means “sweet”. The word “ose” is a chemical classifier that denotes sugar. Glucose is mainly made by plants and most green algae during photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide, utilizing energy from daylight, where it is utilized to make cellulose in cell walls, which is the most abundant carbohydrate. It is also found in different types of fruits and honey. One of the components of glucose is cellulose, which is also known as linear. Molecules of starch help to preserve energy in carbohydrates. Too much intake of glucose can lead to serious health issues like diabetes, BP, Kidney issues, etc. In the human body, glucose breaks down and converts into fat. Even brain cells use glucose. It is also used to treat diseases like hypoglycemia that is low blood pressure.
Biochemical properties:
The chemical/molecular formula for Glucose is C6H12O6. It contains 6 carbon atoms and an aldehyde group and is, therefore, it is referred to as aldohexose. Glucose is considered a subcategory of carbohydrates. The glucose molecule also exists in an open chain as well as in a ring from that is acyclic and cyclic. It is also considered one of the basic necessities of many organisms.
Chemical properties:
Glucose is white, colorless solids that are soluble in water but is not soluble in solutions like methanol and ethanol. They soften at 146 °C (295 °F) (α) and 150 °C (302 °F) (β), and break down beginning at 188 °C (370 °F) with the arrival of different unpredictable items, at last leaving a buildup of carbon.

Global warming is one of the most serious problems which all of our are facing. There are too many factors that affect global warming. One of the reasons why we are facing global warming is Deforestation. Deforestation is occurring wherever in the world for various reasons that vary from place to place and region to region. Huge spaces of rainforests in various tropical nations have been annihilated to part of making different types of oil extraction, different types of plantation, etc. The expanding worldwide interest in wood items has increased the risk of many ancient forests around the world, regardless of the fact whether it is for paper items, furniture, or fuel.
There are few things which we can do to prevent global warming is:
– There are few things which we can do to prevent global warming is:
Afforestation is one of the best ways to prevent global warming.
– Prevent yourself from using wood products. As wood is extracted from trees. Also, avoid using types of furniture which are made of different types of wood.
– Plants more and more trees, plants. Finishing deforestation is the most obvious opportunity we need to settle our environment, save natural life species and also protect our well-being. One should protect trees regardless of anything, it should a mutual responsibility of each and every person.
– One should paper and cardboard, which are recyclable. Not only paper or cardboard one should use products that are recyclable and organic.
– One should avoid cooking food with help of fire and wood.
– One should also avoid using refrigerators a lot. The gases released by it are very harmful and one of the reasons why global warming is increasing.
– One should also avoid using A/Cs, even A/Cs releases a lot of harmful gases which are harmful to the environment.
– One should practice eco-friendly foresting.
– One should avoid cutting trees for residential use.
– One should avoid using a lot of Palm oil.

What is the latent heat of vaporization?
Latent heat (also known as latent energy or heat of transformation) is the energy released or absorbed, by a body or a thermodynamic system, during a constant-temperature process — usually a first-order phase transition.*
When a substance changes its state of matter, that is when a substance changes from its solid-state to a liquid state or liquid state to a gaseous state or liquid state to solid-state and vice versa. In this process, the energy that is released or absorbed when the substance changes its matter is defined as Latent heat. Latent heat is related to a heat property called enthalpy. It is detonated as ΔHv. Latent heat is related to measures other than changes among the solid, fluid, and fume periods of a single substance. Numerous solids exist in various crystalline modifications, there is generally absorption or evolution of latent heat. The process when one substance change it involves the transfer of heat. The change of state is physical.
Latent heat of vaporization is an actual property of a substance. At the point when material in the fluid state is given energy, it changes its stage from fluid to fume without change in temperature, the energy retained in the process is called the latent heat of vaporization. The amount of heat is expressed as joules or calories.
The formula for specific latent heat is as followed:
L = Q/m
Where:
L stands for specific latent heat
Q stands for the heat retained or discharged
m stands for the mass of a substance
Units used in specific latent heat are kilojoules per kilogram (kJ/kg) and joules per gram (J/g).

A rock is any naturally occurring solid mass or aggregate of minerals or mineraloid matter.*
It is generally made of chemicals composition. Rocks are found on the outer surface of the Earth. Different types of rocks have different types of classifications. Rocks are found almost everywhere. Different types of rocks are, there are three types of rocks:
Igneous Rocks –
Igneous rock is formed when magma or lava cools down and solidifies.
Igneous rocks are further divided into two main categories –
– Plutonic or intrusive rocks when magma or the lava cools and it crystallizes slowly and forms rock. Granites are an example of intrusive rocks.
– Volcanic or extrusive rocks are formed when magma reaches Earth’s surface either as lava or fragmental ejecta and forms minerals like pumice or basalt.
Sedimentary Rocks –
Sedimentary Rocks are deposition and subsequent collection of different types of materials and substances which are present in water, on the upper surface of the Earth. The process through which Sedimentary rocks are formed is called sedimentation. Sedimentary rocks are also formed through the deposition of air. They also contain fossils. There are 3 different types of Sedimentary rocks and they are: Clastic sedimentary rocks, chemical sedimentary rocks, and Organic sedimentary rocks. Examples of Sedimentary Rocks are limestone, sandstone, etc.
Metamorphic rock –
Metamorphic rock, any of a class of rocks that is formed from the modification of previous rocks because of changing ecological conditions, like varieties in temperature, pressure, and mechanical pressure, and the expansion or deduction of compound parts.
The word metamorphism is taken from the Greek for “change of structure”; metamorphic rocks are formed from volcanic or sedimentary rocks that have adjusted their structure (recrystallized) because of changes in their actual climate. Transformation contains changes both in mineralogy and in the texture of the first stone. All in all, these modifications are achieved either by the interruption of hot magma into cooler encompassing rocks (contact transformation) or by enormous scope structural developments of Earth’s lithospheric plates that change the pressing factor temperature states of the rocks.

What is a green building?
The ideal green building would be a building project that would permit you to save the greater part of the common habitat around the undertaking site, while as yet having the option to create a building that will fill a need. The development and activity will advance a sound climate for all included, and it won’t upset the land, water, assets, and energy in and around the building.
Green buildings are planned in such a manner to lessen the general effect on the climate and human well-being by:-
I. Decreasing junk, contamination, and debasement of the climate.
ii. Effectively utilizing energy, water, and different assets.
iii. Securing tenant wellbeing and improving efficiency.
Is it costly?
Some people feel that they can’t make strides toward environmental friendliness since it will set them back on cash, yet that is actually a typical misguided judgment. While it might set you back a touch more to begin when you are practicing environmental awareness, since green materials and items can be all the more expensive, you truly need to consider the sort of reserve funds that you will actually want to harvest.
You will actually want to save money on energy costs on the grounds that becoming environmentally friendly likewise implies saving energy. You should view the green building as a greater amount of speculation than everything else. A venture that will actually want to set aside your cash, just as speculation that will actually want to help the climate! It is a mutually advantageous arrangement for everybody!
Advantages of green building are:-
· Decreases Wastage of Water and Energy- Green buildings ensured by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) brings about water investment funds of 20 – 30% and energy reserve funds of 40-50 percent compared with other buildings in India.
· Preserves Natural Resources- The building area has the biggest potential for lessening ozone harming substance outflows essentially contrasted with other major radiating areas. This discharges investment funds potential is supposed to be just about as much as 84 gigatonnes of CO2 (GtCO2) by 2050, through direct measures in buildings like energy effectiveness, fuel exchanging, and the utilization of environmentally friendly power.
