Demand significantly influences investment decisions in an economy, as it shapes business expectations about future profits. When consumer demand is strong or anticipated to grow, firms gain confidence and are more likely to invest in expanding production, upgrading technology, or hiring additional workers. This is because higher demand typically leads to greater sales and revenue, making investments less risky. On the other hand, when demand is weak or uncertain, businesses tend to hold back on investment to avoid potential losses. Thus, overall demand conditions play a critical role in determining the scale and direction of both private and public sector investments.

Interphase

 – Cell prepares for division

• G₁ Phase: Cell grows and makes proteins
• S Phase: DNA is replicated
• G₂ Phase: Cell prepares for mitosis (final checks and protein synthesis)

M Phase (Mitosis)

 – Cell divides

• Prophase: Chromosomes become visible, nuclear membrane breaks
• Metaphase: Chromosomes line up in the center
• Anaphase: Sister chromatids are pulled apart
• Telophase: New nuclei form, chromosomes uncoil

Cytokinesis

: Cytoplasm divides → 2 identical cells formed

Valency of Carbon:

The valency of carbon is 4. This means carbon can form four covalent bonds with other atoms to complete its outer shell.

Property Responsible for Long Chain Formation:

The property of carbon that leads to the formation of long chain compounds is called catenation. Catenation is the ability of carbon atoms to bond with each other to form long chains, branched structures, or rings. This is possible because carbon-carbon bonds are strong, stable, and versatile, allowing the formation of a vast number of organic compounds.
