This has been proved by letting birds fly in a planetarium and changing the stars' position. Another tool is the earth's magnetic field (earth's north and south magnetic poles).

Retinal is a component of the visual pigments of Rod and cone cells. Rhodopsin, the visual pigment of the Rod cells in the retina, consist of 11-cis retinal specifically bound to the protein opsin. In the dark, retinal of rhodopsin is in 11-cis form. When rhodopsin is exposed to light, 11-cis retinal undergoes a series of photochemical reactions that converts it to all trans retinal and release of all trans retinal and opsin. Birds lack Rod cell. It is responsible for night vision. Absence of Rod cells, they can't see object properly at night. So, Birds fly back to the nest in the evening. read less

Which gas is produced when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a reactive metal? Write the chemical reaction when iron reacts with dilute H2SO4.
Hydrogen gas is produced. Fe + h2so4----> feSO4 + h2O Here fe is oxidised into fe2+ by h+ and the SO4^2- ion does not play any role in this reaction. You can replace the h2SO4 by hCl.
