Question 31. The major ingredient of leather is:
  1.    Collagen
  2.    Carbohydrate
  3.    Polymer
  4.    Nucleic acid
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Collagen
Leather is a durable and flexible material created by tanning animal rawhide and skins. The major ingredient of leather is Collagen.
Question 32. Rayon is chemically a
  1.    Cellulose
  2.    Pectin
  3.    Glucose
  4.    Amylase
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Cellulose
Rayon is chemically labelled cellulose acetate, which is a polymer of a semi-synthetic type. It is called semi-synthetic because it has a natural cellulose portion that in combination with acetate gives cellulose acetate (rayon).
Question 33. 'Bar' is the unit of
  1.    Temperature
  2.    Heat
  3.    Atmospheric pressure
  4.    Current
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Atmospheric pressure
The bar (symbol bar) is widely used in many countries as a unit of pressure.

  1.    Work
  2.    Power
  3.    Electricity
  4.    Current
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Power
The power consumption of small devices is usually measured in Watts, and the power consumption of larger devices is measured in kilowatts (kW), or 1,000 Watts.
Question 35. One Joule is equal to
  1.    105 ergs
  2.    103 ergs
  3.    107 ergs
  4.    1011 ergs
 Discuss Question

Question 36. A chronometer measures:
  1.    Colour contrast
  2.    Sound waves
  3.    Time
  4.    Water waves
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Time
A chronometer measures time.
Question 37. Electric current is measured by:
  1.    Commutator
  2.    Anemometer
  3.    Ammeter
  4.    Voltmeter
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Ammeter
An instrument called ammeter measures electric current in a circuit. It is always connected in series in a circuit through which the current is to be measured. Also ammeter has negligible resistance, thus no voltage gets dropped across it.
