Answers
Answer:
1.Places where water is scare is Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Hyderabad are three states of India where water is scare. Water management, rain water harvesting, waste water treatment and recycling are some of the ways through which one can conserve water.
3. Phage therapy is the use of bacteriophages to treat bacterial infections. This could be used as an alternative to antibiotics when bacteria develop resistance. Superbugs that are immune to multiple types of drugs are becoming a concern with the more frequent use of antibiotics.
4. The material must be cooled below a characteristic temperature, known as its superconducting transition or critical temperature (Tc). The current passing through a given cross-section of the material must be below a characteristic level known as the critical current density (Jc).
5. Genetically modified crops (GM crops) are plants used in agriculture, the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering methods. In most cases, the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species.
6.High blood pressure can damage your arteries by making them less elastic, which decreases the flow of blood and oxygen to your heart and leads to heart disease. In addition, decreased blood flow to the heart can cause: Chest pain, also called angina.
