MEGA QUIZ- 2 (30 to 40) It is the process used by plants to uptake the organic contaminants from soil? Phytoaccumulation Phytotransformation Phytostabilization Phytodegradation source - wikipedia Phytoremediation is a process used by plants to remove, degrade, or immobilize organic contaminants from soil, water, or air. It involves the use of specific plants, known as hyperaccumulators or phytoremediators, that have the ability to absorb, accumulate, and transform pollutants within their tissues. There are several mechanisms involved in phytoremediation: Phytoextraction or phytoaccumulation: This process involves the uptake and accumulation of contaminants in the roots, stems, leaves, and other plant tissues. The contaminants can be heavy metals, organic pollutants, or radioactive elements. Once accumulated in the plant, they can be harvested and properly disposed of, thus removing them from the environment. Phytotransformation: In this process, plants absorb organic contaminants from

  MEGA QUIZ- 1 (20 to 30) Gunter’s chain is also known as?  Engineers Chain  Surveyors chain Angular Chain  Aquaculture Chain source - wikipedia  Gunter's chain is also known as the " Surveyors chain ." It is a measuring instrument used in surveying and land measurement. Gunter's chain consists of a series of 100 links, each measuring 7.92 inches (20.12 cm) in length, with a total length of 66 feet (20.1168 meters). It was developed by English mathematician and surveyor Edmund Gunter in the early 17th century and became a widely used tool in surveying until it was largely replaced by more modern measurement methods. The Surveyors chain is used to measure distances on the ground with reasonable accuracy and is still sometimes used in specific contexts or for historical purposes. Among the following instrument is used in measuring angles?  Sextant   Theodolite  Both    Compass Both the sextant and the theodolite are instruments used in measuring angles.  1. Sextant: A
