ISRO's Commercial Arm: Antrix Corporation The commercial and marketing branch of ISRO is known as Antrix Corporation. Established in 1969, it facilitates international collaborations for satellite launches at competitive prices, attracting many countries to utilize India's space capabilities.
Understanding Cadavers A cadaver refers specifically to a dead human body used for anatomical studies or organ transplants. It plays an essential role in medical education and research by providing insights into human anatomy.
Mughal Succession: Aurangzeb's Rise Aurangzeb succeeded Shah Jahan after a fierce succession battle involving his brothers Dara Shikoh and Murad Baksh. The conflicts culminated in the Battles of Dharmat and Samugarh between 1658-59, leading Aurangzeb to ascend the Mughal throne from 1658 until his death in 1707.
'Right To Property' Removed From Fundamental Rights 'Right to Property' was removed from fundamental rights under the 44th Constitutional Amendment Act. This amendment reduced fundamental rights from seven to six while establishing property as a legal right instead of constitutional protection.
Understanding Electromagnets Electromagnets are created by passing current through a solenoid with multiple turns, generating a magnetic field. The maximum and uniform nature of the magnetic field occurs inside the solenoid when a soft iron rod is inserted, transforming it into an electromagnet. Its strength depends on factors like current flow and air gap between poles; increasing current enhances strength while reversing polarity changes its direction.
Why Pickles Last Longer Pickles last longer due to high salt concentration that plasmolyzes harmful bacteria and fungal cells, preventing spoilage. Beneficial bacteria thrive in this environment as pickles are prepared under vacuum conditions to inhibit growth of pathogens. This preservation method relies on osmotic principles where water moves out from bacterial cells in hypertonic solutions.
Types of Solutions Explained Solutions can be classified based on their concentrations: hypertonic (higher outside), hypotonic (lower outside), or isotonic (equal). Osmosis describes movement across semi-permeable membranes driven by these gradients affecting cell survival rates depending upon external environments' salinity levels.
'Flora' vs 'Fauna' 'Flora' refers to plant life while 'fauna' pertains to animal life within ecosystems—essentially vegetation versus animals classification for ecological studies or discussions about biodiversity conservation efforts.
