The tobacco protein induced arteriosclerotic disease is

  1. Aneurysm

  2. Polyarteritis nodosa

  3. Thromboangiitis obliterans

  4. DVT


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Thromboangiitis obliterans, also called Buerger disease is a rare disease caused by small blood vessels that become inflamed and swollen. The blood vessels, then narrow or become completely blocked by the blood clots (Thrombosis). Blood vessels of the hand and feet are especially affected. This condition mostly affects young men, ages, 20-40, who are heavy smokers or chew tobacco.
Thus, the correct answer is option (A), 'Thromboangiitis obliterans'

Which of the following is non-renewable resource?

  1. Forest

  2. Coal deposit

  3. Water

  4. Wild life


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Fossil fuels are nonrenewable conventional energy resources found inside the earth's crust where they have been formed through heat and compression on forests and other organic matter buried underneath due to earthquakes, landslides, lava etc. Fossil fuels can be solid, e.g., coal; liquid, e.g., petroleum; or gaseous, e.g., natural gas.

Non-renewable source is

  1. Water and gas

  2. Plant and coke

  3. Coal and mineral substances

  4. Energy and water


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Inexhaustible resource is a natural resource, which is found in such abundance, that it is unlikely to diminish or get exhausted. E.g., air, solar energy, wind power, rainfall etc.
Exhaustible resource is a natural resource, which is likely to diminish and get exhausted due to continuous use or exploitation. E.g., minerals, fossil fuels, forests etc. Exhaustible resources are of two types renewable and non-renewable.
Renewable exhaustible resource is a natural resource, which gets replenished, recycled or reproduced. E.g., forests, water, agriculture etc.
Non-Renewable exhaustible resource is a natural resource, which is likely to get exhausted with use. E.g., fossil fuels like petroleum, minerals and metals, Coal.

Water is a..................resource.

  1. Non-degradable, non maintainable

  2. Degradable, maintainable

  3. Renewable

  4. Non-renewable


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Natural Resources or Earth resources are those living and non living components of atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere, which can be drawn for supporting life or have potential of being used by humans for their requirements of food, fodder, shelter, clothing, articles of use and recreation.

Which of the following is a renewable resource?

  1. Fossil fire

  2. Metal

  3. Water

  4. All of the above

Which of the following is a non - renewable energy source?

  1. Hydropower

  2. Tidal power

  3. Geothermal energy

  4. Nuclear energy


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Energy sources are of two categories, renewable and non renewable. 

Non renewable resources include fossil fuels (petroleum, natural gas, coal) and nuclear fuel (mostly uranium, which is in limited supply). Use of both of them causes pollution. Fossil fuel cause oil spills, acid rain, air pollution, water pollution etc. Nuclear energy may give rise to radiation pollution. 
Renewable resources of energy include biomass energy and some forms of inexhaustible energy like solar energy, hydro power, wind power etc. They are less polluting but far more expensive due to technological incipiency.

A renewable exhaustible natural resource is

  1. Forest

  2. Coal

  3. Petroleum

  4. Minerals


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Forests are the renewable natural resources which can be recycled but should not be used beyond a limit. Coal, petroleum and minerals are exhaustible resources and cannot be recycled. 

Thus, the correct answer is option A. 

Petroleum is a

  1. Non-renewable source

  2. Renewable source

  3. A synthetic product
