Question
Can you attempt building models of biomolecules using commercially available atomic models (Ball and Stick models).
✓
Answer
Yes. The biomolecules can be represented by the ball and stick model. The bonds which hold the atoms are represented by sticks, whereas the atoms are represented by balls.Example: In the model of D-glucose, the oxygen atoms are represented by pink balls, the hydrogen atoms by green balls, while the carbon atoms are represented by grey balls.

Deepak, (student of XI class), attended a seminar on plant growth and development. As Deepak also belongs to the farmer's family, he was enthusiastic to know upcoming experiments in the field of botany. Guest of the seminar told the students that development in plants is under the control of various intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The intrinsic factors include intracellular or genetic factors as well as intercellular factors like plant growth regulators. Deepak asked the guest about the role of growth regulators used to improve the yield of plants. The guest speaker cleared all doubts of Arun and then Arun returned home happily from the seminar he visited.
