Correct
Solution (c)
South Lhonak Lake is a glacial-moraine-dammed lake, located in Sikkim’s far northwestern region. It is one of the fastest expanding lakes in the Sikkim Himalaya region, and one of the 14 potentially dangerous lakes susceptible to Glacial lake outburst flood (GLOFs). Its formation is attributed to the melting glaciers of the region, a process accelerated by rising global temperatures. It plays a role in the hydrological cycle, releasing water downstream, ultimately benefiting the Teesta River basin.
Context – Recent flash floods in north Sikkim resulted from the bursting of the South Lhonak Lake.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statements with respect to ‘NanoPtA’
Statement 1 – It is a nanozyme can then degrade pollutants present in wastewater by oxidizing them in the presence of sunlight
Statement 2 – This nanozyme could be a potentially useful diagnostic tool for neurological and neurodegenerative diseases
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Correct
Solution (b)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Correct Correct NanoPtA can then degrade pollutants present in wastewater by oxidising them in the presence of sunlight, thereby reducing the toxicity of wastewater. Individual NanoPtA molecules connect together to form tape-like structures that start emitting light, which is the origin of its oxidizing capacity. The nanozyme can also have applications in healthcare and could be a potentially useful diagnostic tool for neurological and neurodegenerative diseases. The researchers also found that the NanoPtA complex was quite stable, lasting for up to 75 days at room temperature. Applications: Context – Scientists at the Materials Research Centre (MRC), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), have developed a new type of enzyme mimetic called NanoPtA
