Which term is the symbol for the rate constant? a. [a] b. k c. r d. x + y e. none of the above

            Option-B (k) is the correct answer.

Explanation:
                   As we know the rate of reaction is given as;

                                                Rate  =  k [A]ˣ
Where;
            Rate  =  Rate of Reaction

            k  =  rate constant
 
            [ ]  =  concentration of A

            x  =  order of reaction

So, from this equation we found that rate of reaction depends upon concentration and rate constant (k).
Now,
The rate constant is as follow,,

                                            k  =  Ae^(Ea/RT) 

This equation is known as Arrhenius Equation, according to this equation rate constant depends upon Temperature and Activation energy. Greater the temperature greater is the rate constant and hence greater is the rate of reaction. Or smaller the activation energy greater is the rate constant and vice versa.

The  grandmother cell  is a hypothetical  neuronthat represents a complex but specific concept or object.[1]  it activates when a person "sees, hears, or otherwise sensibly discriminates"[2]  a specific entity, such as his or her grandmother. the term was in use at least as early as 1966 amongst staff and students in the department of experimental psychology, university of cambridge, england. a similar concept, that of the  gnostic neuron, was proposed two years later
