Solution

Circadian Rhythm is also known as the body clock or the biological clock. It controls the body temperature, blood pressure, secretion of enzymes and other biological processes. They were discovered by Jeffrey Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael Young who have been given Nobel Prize, 2017 in the field of Medicine.
Question 10
1 / -0

Consider the following statements about 'Wheat Fortification'.
$$1$$. Wheat flour contains Phytic Acid.

A
$$1$$ only

B
$$2$$ only

C
Both $$1$$ and $$2$$

D
Neither $$1$$ nor $$2$$

Solution

The government of India is fortifying wheat flour and rice to arrest growing anaemia among children. Wheat flour is fortified with a compound known as Sodium Iron Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid. Phytic acid is one of those compounds present in all seeds, including wheat grain. Its presence makes it difficult to fortify wheat flour with elemental iron.
