Pranam Q & A 9322
Q1 *The Most Popular Vegetables In The World Tomatoes* Tomatoes are the most popular vegetables in the world. The world produces 177.04 metric tonnes of tomatoes every year. Among the many countries in the world, the three largest producers of tomatoes are China, India, and the United States. The largest exporters of tomatoes in the globe are Netherlands, Mexico, and Spain. For instance, the Netherlands exported tomatoes worth US$ 2 billion in 2017. This nation is the largest exporter of tomatoes in the world. On the other hand, Mexico exports tomatoes worth US$ 1.9 billion while Spain exports tomatoes valued at US$ 1.1 billion. *Rank* *Vegetable* *Global Production (million metric tons)* 1 Tomatoes 177.04 2 Onions (dry) 93.17 3 Cucumbers and Gherkins 71.26 4 Cabbages and other brassicas 71.26 5 Eggplants/Augergines 51.29 6 Carrots and Turnips 42.71 7 Chillies and Peppers 34.50 8 Lettuce and Chicory 26.78 9 Spinach 26.68 10 Garlic 26.57 Xxxxxxx Q2 The fluid produced in the seminal vesicles provides an environment that’s very important for the proper functioning and survival of sperm. The main components of this fluid are: - fructose, a sugar that provides sperm with energy - alkaline fluid, which helps to neutralize the acidic nature of the male urethra and the female vagina - proteins like semenogelin, which forms a gel-like protective layer around sperm - phosphorus and potassium, which help sperm move - prostaglandins, hormones that have a role in lowering the female immune response to semen The research done on a sample showed: The hypomotility group exhibited lower calcium ion (Ca2+) concentrations; 0.19+0.01mmol/L compared with normal motility group; 0.24+0.01mmol/L (p<0.001) the latter also had significantly higher inorganic phosphate; 7.83+1.27 while the former had 5.64+1.62mmol/L (p= 0.004). The mean spermatozoa counts for hypomotility and normal motility group were 42.0 ± 13 x 106 , 72.35 + 20 x 106 respectively (p< 0.001). No significant differences were observed in pH, volume of ejaculate and total calcium concentration between the hypomotility and normal motility groups The mean concentrations of pH were 7.51 ± 0.02 and 7.54 ± 0.03 respectively (p= 0.21) and total calcium; 3.10 ± 0.12 and 3.36 ± 0.14mmol/L respectively (p= 0.16 ). There was a significant difference in percentage of abnormal forms in both groups with the hypomotile group having 36% compared to normal motility group with 5% (p< 0.05). Ph factor is not high and below par. Q6 Absolutely wrong that human evolution is from Africa based on the Lucy Monkey skeleton. But that result is baseless. I had written authentically in earlier periods and beating around the bush is a waste of time, without evincing any interest in the subject.
