The red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin which is made up subunits called&nbsp;hemes that give blood its red color. The hemes can bind iron molecules, and the iron molecules bind oxygen. The blood cells appear red in colour due to the interaction between iron and oxygen.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Koushik Saikia, Class X, Don Bosco English School, North Lakhimpur<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Question:<\/strong><\/span> Why are flowers colourful rather than colourless?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Answer<\/strong>:<\/span> Flowers have become colourful through the process of evolution. It is believed that most of the earliest flowers were pale whitish or a little yellow and a little green in colour. They were pollinated by wind; the pollen in those flowers would just blow on the wind to the next flower and pollinate it. However, as in the process of evolution, bees, butterflies and other insects started acting as pollinators, flowers began to develop colour. Bees, butterflies and many other insects can see colours. Bees, in particular, can see blues and reds really well. They also can see polarized light and ultraviolet light. Hence, to attract such pollinators, flowers began to evolve beautiful colors so that they can spread their pollen and reproduce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Angshuman Kashyap, Class X, Don Bosco English School, North Lakhimpur<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Question:<\/strong><\/span> What is the complex form of carbohydrate?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Answer:<\/strong><\/span> Complex carbohydrates are called polysaccharides.

They are found in foods like whole grains, pulses, starchy vegetables, and fruits. They cannot be digested quickly and usually take a little longer for the body to digest than simple carbohydrates.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jissu Saikia, Class X, St. Mary\u2019s High School, North Lakhimpur Question: Is somewhere in the space present a universe like ours as a parallel universe?
