A ligament is composed of dense fibrous bundles of collagenous fibres and spindle-shaped cells known as fibrocytes, with little ground substance. Ligaments may be of two major types: white ligament is rich in collagenous fibres, which are sturdy and inelastic; and yellow ligament is rich in elastic fibres, which are quite tough even though they allow elastic movement.

Correct Option: A

Glucose provides immediate energy for our brain and red blood cells. The most pressing need of all cells in the body is for an immediate source of energy. Some cells such as brain cells have severely limited storage capacities for either glucose or ATP, and for this reason, the blood must maintain a fairly constant supply of glucose.

Palisade parenchyma is the layer of tissue directly beneath the epidermis of the upper surface of a leaf. It contains the cylinder-shaped cells that hold the chloroplasts and constitutes the primary area of photosynthesis that converts the light energy to the chemical energy of carbohydrates

Organic farming is a form of agriculture that relies on techniques such as crop rotation, green manure, compost, and biological pest control. It uses fertilizers and pesticides if they are considered natural (such as bone meal from animals or pyrethrin from flowers), but it excludes the use of synthetic petrochemical fertilizers and pesticides, plant growth regulators, etc.

Bt cotton is the only commercially available genetically modified (GM) crop in India (The Guardian, 31 July 2014). When Bt Brinjal was sought to be introduced in the market a few years ago, it led to a controversy. The Ministry of Environment and Forests imposed a moratorium on Bt Brinjal on February 9, 2010.
