PREFACE, It gives me immense pleasure in introducing the book "Objective NCERT Gear Up Biology" which is enriched with, unparalleled nature of content & lots of new challenging and innovative questions in every chapter. This book provides a, 360° view of NCERT with questions exclusively based on NCERT and previous year's AIIMS & NEET., As the level of Biology is rising in exams, the student really need to cop up with it. This book will help them to meet their, expectations., As per the current trend, most of questions asked in AIIMS and NEET are from NCERT Books. Our team tried to, justify this objective by developing this book to provide each & every PMT Aspirant an opportunity to read theory and, practice MCQs which are directly extracted from NCERT Books., According to me, aspirants should always go antegrade & read authentic theory from NCERT, supplemented by the Crisp, Notes of NCERT given in this book for Biology and then should attempt MCQs. This helps in remembering the subject and, gives confidence to attempt new questions easily. The goal behind writing this book is to give students a very easy, lucid and, palatable material. This wonder book help aspirants to learn and self assess Biology in the most efficient way., This is an endeavor by Aim4AIIMS/NEET, to extend a helping hand to all future Medicos and we hope it serves as a, succor for them. The Gear Up Series is a compilation of 3 books, including Physics, Chemistry and Biology, providing, you smart methods to prepare for any PMT Exam. It specifies exactly ‘What & How’ to study to clear the Exam., I sincerely hope that this endeavor will be highly beneficial to all the students., , This Book Consists of, NCERT Crisp Notes, Topic Wise NCERT Based MCQs, NCERT Page-wise References of MCQs, Image Based Questions, Round wise Higher Order MCQs, NCERT Exemplar Problems, Selected NEET Past Year Questions, Trending Assertion & Reason, Accurate and Elaborative Explanations, Flowcharts and Tables Included, , AIIMS/NEET Toppers and Faculty Teams have Simplified the NCERT for you so that you can easily get, grip on NCERT., We thankfully welcome your queries and suggestions towards its further improvement. Kindly write your, reviews to [email protected], , Author, Dr. Ajay Mohan, AIIMS Delhi

ABOUT THE AUTHOR, , Dr. Ajay Mohan secured 6th position in all India MBBS AIIMS exam in 2011 and is currently, pursuing MD Medicine and DM Infectious Medicine from AIIMS New Delhi., A student of India’s finest medical college, Dr. Ajay Mohan always realized the dearth of good, and inexpensive medical coaching in the country. In October 2014, he came up with an initiative, Aim4AIIMS/NEET to help and mentor medical aspirants achieve their dreams., At the nascent stage, guidance from the team to more than three lakh medical aspirants through, Facebook, YouTube, Email, Quora and WhatsApp helped many students crack some toughest medical, exams across India., His classes on General Studies for medical entrance witnessed around 2,000 students on an average, in a single session. Owing to an increased demand, Dr. Ajay Mohan authored and launched a book, ‘Aim4AIIMS MBBS Entrance Exam’ to help medical students sway through General Knowledge and, Past Years Questions., Ever since Aim4AIIMS/NEET caught the attention of medical students, the initiative started, gathering recognition in media. Leading publications like Press Trust of India (PTI), The Hindu,, Hindustan Times, Deccan Chronicle and Dainik Bhaskar wrote about how the initiative is making, medical coaching easier and assessable for the aspirants., NDTV anchor Ravish Kumar in his Prime Time applauded the initiative by Dr. Ajay Mohan in, giving medical coaching through mobile phone and helping them secure seats in prominent medical, colleges., Informative blogs, innovative study material, test series, topper’s videos on YouTube and Facebook, group has been encouraged and appreciated by many. Dr. Ajay is also the Co-founder of AIIMS Delhi, social service organization ‘AIIMS Parivartan’ and the contributor of book AIIMS Assertion and, Reason and Aim4AIIMS Biology Prepguide., "I wanted the aspirants to know that someone is there to guide them. I wanted them to know that, they can pour all their problems on us and study without tension. I spent days in writing books on, simplifying medical questions and answers using which the students do not have to run from one, coaching institute to another. I wanted to break the stigma of failure which a student faces every, second of his life. The study pattern should be smooth and should focus on smart study,”, says Dr. Ajay Mohan.

TESTIMONIES, , To become doctor was my childhood dream which came true on 4th June. I really thanks to my elder sister and my brother who helped, me a lot in my study., I believe that a thorough & repeated revision of NCERT and solving questions based on NCERT made my rank in NEET & AIIMS Exam., I recommend to all my juniors that they must have complete knowledge of NCERT especially in Biology. I used to read every chapter of, Biology line by line and tried to frame questions out of them which helped me a lot in my main exam., Many students says that social media always distract us but for me it was helpful in my preparation. I used to see Toppers interviews which, Aim4AIIMS/NEET released from time to time. Those videos gave me great direction on how to prepare, preparation strategy and how to, manage time for the real exam., So basically I used social media to keep myself motivated and inspired by AIIMS Toppers., Monthly GK on Aim4AIIMS website helped me in my GK and Reasoning preparation and I also read Aim4AIIMS Assertion & Reason, book which helped me to score best in A&R sections of all 3 subjects for my AIIMS Exam. Surprisingly many questions of my NEET &, AIIMS paper were direct or indirect replica of the questions practised from Aim4AIIMS/NEET Books, , , , Kalpana Kumari, AIR-1, NEET-2018, , I am so happy that I secured 9th Rank in AIIMS and 5th Rank in NEET. I want to thanks Dr. Ajay Mohan for his guidance and help, during my preparation. I studied to the NCERT and prefer supplement which elaborates the NCERT and questions based on it., So, i will suggest everyone study NCERT. This year I found that 90% to 95% MCQs in biology had been asked in the Exam. So, for, Biology NCERT is most important. You need to pay more attention to the language and examples of NCERT because many questions, come from these examples., Many aspirants think that NCERT is only important for biology. But it is not true. It is also important for chemistry and physics. NCERT, is really important for Surface and state of matter in Physical chemistry., For inorganic chemistry, you need to read every reaction, example and experimental data given in NCERT. So read and analyze line by, line and revise repeatedly., Coming to the organic chemistry which was really hard for me personally, for some topics like Environmental Chemistry, Biomolecules,, Polymers and Chemistry in Everyday Life, you really need to read NCERT. Solve examples given in the NCERT which would be really, helpful for the exam., In Physics, NCERT is very important for A & R questions. Analyze logically to the concepts and solved examples given in the NCERT., At the last, once again I would like to say that “Never ignore NCERT if you really want to secure good Rank”., , ABHISHEK DOGRA, AIR-9 AIIMS-2017, AIR-5 NEET-2017, I am really happy that all my hard work has paid off. I would thank my parents for this success as it would not be possible without, their support., The Aim4AIIMS initiative proved to be boon to me. It gave me a clear idea of the kind of questions asked in exam. Vashishta Sir and Ansh, sir helped me a lot in my preparation. Dr. Ajay Mohan sir's guide to AIIMS preparation really helped me out in the GK section as many as, 15 questions could be answered with the information on current affairs in the book and posted on the website., I wish all the AIIMS aspirants good luck for their exam., , SATHVIK REDDY ERLA, AIR-1 AIIMS-2016, AIR-20 JIPMER-2016

15, 4. (d) Endemic species are plants and animals that exist in, a defined geographical location., 5. (d) NCERT (XI) Ch - 1, Pg. 13, Key is another taxonomical aid used for identification, of plants and animals based on the similarities and, dissimilarities. The keys are based on the contrasting, characters generally in a pair called couplet. Keys are, generally analytical in nature., 6. (a) The goals of classification includes recognition and, complete description of different species; development, of a system for easy identification of various species;, to establish relationships on the basis of resemblance, and differences between organisms; and formulating a, scheme of hierarchical grouping of species., 13. (d) NCERT (XI) Ch - 1, Pg. 10, 14. (d) NCERT (XI) Ch - 1, Pg. 6, 15. (d) Category denotes rank and each rank or taxon, represents a unit of classification.

(c) Taxonomic keys are tools that help in identification, of organism based on the characters, which includes, both monograph and flora., 8. (b) All living organisms share common genetic material,, i.e., DNA but with variations, e.g., bacteria have, single stranded circular DNA while in highly evolved, eukaryotic cells of plants and animals, DNA is a long, double stranded helix., 9. (d) Response to external stimuli or to the environment, in which an organism lives, is the most important, characteristic of any living organism, besides growth, and reproduction., Growth and ability to make sound are some properties, that can also be observed in non-living things. While, virus (which is not included under living organisms), also show growth and reproduction., Hence, these options are not true., 10. (b) The correct options matching with the columns, represent the taxonomic classification of plant potato are, , 17. (b) Statement A and C are incorrect.

(a) Lower the taxa, more are the characteristic that the, members within the taxon share. So, lowest taxon share, the maximum number of morphological similarities,, while its similarities decrease as we move towards the, higher hierarchy, i.e., class, kingdom., Thus, rest of the option are incorrect., , 4. (c) Genus comprises a group of closely related species, which has more characters in common in comparison to, species of other genera. The other options do not define, genus., 5. (c) Division includes classes with few similar characters, of group of organism. It is equivalent to ‘Phylum’ in case, of animals., 6. (c) Botanical gardens and Zoological parks are used to, restore depleted population, reintroduce species, i.e.,, wild and restore degraded habitats of both exotic and, , 1. (b) The herbarium sheets carry a label providing, information about date and place of collection, English,, local and botanical names, family, collector’s name, etc, 2. (d) Biodiversity represents total number of species, present on earth. There are approximately 1.7-1.8, million species present on earth., 3. (a) All living things reproduce passing on traits from one, generation to next. Non – living things cannot reproduce., 4. (c) NCERT (XI) Ch - 1, Pg. 8, , The Living World, , 3. (c) The word systematics is derived from Latin word, ‘Systema’ which means systematic arrangement of, organisms., , Past Year Questions, , 5. (b) First living beings were formed in the environment, having abundant organic molecules. They absorbed the, organic materials for the sake of nutrition and hence, were chemoheterotrophs., , 6.

16, precise, the various obligate categories in hierarchical, classification are explained. The correct sequence is:, Division → Class → Order → Family → Genus →, Species, 10. (b) This is one of the reason for organisms being, homeostatic (constant body temperature)., 11. (d) NCERT (XI) Ch - 1, Pg. 8, 12. (c) The term ‘New Systematics’ was given by Julian, Huxley (1940). Characters of plants collected through, different branches of science are considered, e.g.,, ecology, physiology, biochemistry, cytology, genetics,, etc., 13. (b) Carolus Linnaeus introduced Binomial System of, Nomenclature in his book Species Plantarum (1753). He, said that there can be variation within species, but they, do not change from one species to another., , Assertion & Reason, 1. (a) Biological names are generally in latin and written, in italics, they are latinised or derived from latin, irrespective of their origin. When hand written, generic, and specific epithet both the words in biological name, are separately underlined or printed in italics showing, their latin origin., 2. (b) Family has a group of related genera with still less, number of similarities as compared to genus and species., So character of family is more general as compared to, character of genus., 3. (a) Botanical gardens have collections of living plants., So, they play significant role in identification of plants, and thus, used in taxonomical studies., , Objective NCERT Gear Up Biology, , 4. (b) Cytotaxonomy that is based on cytological, information like chromosome number, structure,, behaviour and chemotaxonomy that uses the chemical, constituents of the plant to resolve confusions, are also, used by taxonomists these days., 5. (d) Natural classification systems (George Bentham, and Joseph Dalton Hooker) developed, which were, based on natural affinities among the organisms and, consider not only the external features, but also internal, features, like ultrastructure, anatomy, embryology and, , phytochemistry., 6. (d) Living organism show internal growth due to addition, of material and formation of cells inside the body. Such, a method is called intussusception. Non-living things, grow due to the addition of similar materials to their, outer surface. The process is called accretion., 7. (c) Binomial nomenclature is the system of providing, organisms with appropriate and distinct names consisting, of two words, first generic and second specific. The, original names were taken from the Latin language or, are Latinized. This is because Latin language is dead, and, therefore; it will not change in form or spelling with, passage of time., 8. (a) Both the words in binomial nomenclature when, handwritten are separately underlined., 9. (b) Most common characters among individual members, are found in taxon species. Common characters decrease, from species to kingdom and members of a kingdom have, least number of common characters. Similarly, complexity, of classification decreases from species to kingdom., T : Higher the hierarchy, lesser are the C’s, C’s : Common characters and complexity., 10. (d) Ernst Mayr defined species as group of potentially, interbreeding natural populations which are reproductively, isolated from other groups. This focuses our attention on, how this isolation arise., 11. (d) Alpha taxonomy is based on morphology and omega, taxonomy brings out toxonomic affinity on the basis of, phylogenetic relationships. The latter is more favoured., 12. (a) Hierarchical classification reduces volume in, catalogue of plants and animals. It can be illustrated by, an example like Canis familiaris (dog)., It belongs to the family - Canidae, Genus-Canis is applied, to wolf and jackal of same family, but these belong to, different species therefore species have more similarities, than genus but genus has more organisms and vice-versa., 13. (b) Museums are source of ancient and present, information matter where preserved plants, animals,, artistic and educational material are exhibited for public, awareness. Museums can be categorized.

(a) Protozoans are simpler heterotrophs usually live as, predators parasites; they are called primitive relative of, animals., 2. (a) Deuteromycetes are one of the classes of kingdom, fungi. Deuteromycetes are called imperfect fungi. It is, simply because the only known mode of reproduction is, asexual or vegetative reproduction., 3. (a) Pili is composed of a protein pilin which forms the, surface structure of bacteria. This pilin protein is non-, , contractile protein hence does not play a role in bacterial, motility., 4. (c) Bacteria are prokaryotic organism. Cellular, organization of kingdom monera is prokaryotic and, bacteria are the sole members of kingdom monera., 5. (a) Photosystem-II involves the role of oxygen but as, eubacteria lack PS –II, they do not produce oxygen, during photosynthesis., 6. (a) Neurospora, belongs to class ascomycetes of, kingdom fungi. Neurospora is extensively used in, biochemical and genetic work so we call it Drosophila of, kingdom fungi. Drosophila (fruit fly) in higher organism, is commonly used for genetic work., 7. (b) Diatoms are a major group of algae in chrysophytes, and are among the most common types of phytoplankton., Diatomaceous earth consists of fossilized remains of, diatoms.

(a) When the mosquito bites man, sporozoites present in the, salivary gland of female Anopheles mosquito are injected, into the blood of the man. The erythrocytic schizont gives, rise to merozoites. Malaria fever occurs when schizonts, in red blood corpuscles burst and set free their contained, merozoites and malarial pigment (haemozoin) in the blood, plasma bursting of shizonts tends to be synchronous as they, all burst at the same time. Haemozoin is said to be toxic, and so includes high fever and shivering (Haemozoin is an, unused hematin, which is produced by the breakdown of, haemoglobin). It is yellow brown to blackish in colour., 16. (b) In Paramecium, each contractile vacuole is surrounded, by 5 to 12 radial canals (feeding canals). Excess of water is, transferred from the cytoplasm to the radial canal. The latter, pour water into the contractile vacuole. The contractile, vacuole expels water outside the body. Thus the contractile, vacuoles and radial canals show osmoregulation., 17. (a) Euglena is a typical example of mastigophora., It is phytoflagellate as it possesses both chloroplast, and flagella. It is autotrophic in sunlight, but becomes, heterotrophic in dark. Because of its two fold nutritional, , abilities, it is usually studied as a plant as well as an, animal.

(a) The colour of brown algae varies from olive green to, various shades of brown depending upon the amount of, xanthophyll and fucoxanthin pigments., 11. (b) NCERT (XI) Ch - 3, Pg. 34, 17. (d) Rhizome is present in Equisetum. Rhizophore is, present in Selaginella. Rhizoids are present in Funaria., , 19. (a) In Cycas, pollination takes place at three-celled, stage., 20. (a) The female sex organ is megasporophyll. The male, plants develop male cones or male strobili., 21. (c) In Dryopteris, sperms swim towards the archegonia, due to presence of malic acid, therefore, they shows, chemotaxis., 22. (c) Statement A is correct for both gymnosperms and, angiosperms. Statement B is correct only for angiosperms, and statement C is correct only for gymnosperms., 23. (c) Salvinia is a heterosporous aquatic algae., 24. (c) NCERT (XI) Ch - 3, Pg. 30, , NCERT Exemplar Problems, 1. (c) Monera Kingdom-Monera is one group which, exclusively includes all forms of bacteria. All bacteria, are prokaryotes and do not have well defined nucleus, and other cell organelles., The other options Protista, Algae and Plantae include, eukaryotic and unicellular or multicellular organism., 2. (c) The lower group of plants like algae exhibit great, variation in mode of sexual and asexual reproduction., Some algae produce gametes which are not similar in, shape, size and structure, when they fuse, it is called, anisogamy. e.g.,Chlamydomonas., The other options are incorrect because oogamy is the, fusion of big oospore female with small male gamete., Isogamy is fusion of similar gametes. Zoogamy is sexual, reproduction of animals., 3. (c) In the members of class-Phaeophyceae, the plant, body is usually attached to the substratum by a holdfast, and has a stalk called stipe and a leaf like photosynthetic, organ called frond., 4. (d) Bryophyta is a group of plants which have, gametophytic haploid thalloid body. The motile male, gamete are produced in special male reproductive, structure called antheridia., , Plant Kingdom, , 8. (c) The sago contains adequate amount of starch and, therefore it is used as food article for a patient with, stomach disorders., , 18. (a) NCERT (XI) Ch - 3, Pg. 32 & 33, , These gametes need thin film of water to move and reach, to the female reproductive organ called archegonia., Whereas, pteridophytes, gymnosperm and monocots, show division of labour and their body shows higher, level of organisation., 5. (c) Prothallus is usually a gametophytic stage in the, life of a Pteridophyte. Spore germinates to form a, prothalium, it is short-lived inconspicuous heart-shaped

64, structure with a number of rhizoids developed beneath, and sex organs, archegonium and antheridium., 6. (d) Gymnosperms include medium sized trees or tall, trees and shrubs. Leaves of these plants are well adapted, to withstand extremes of temperature, humidity and, wind. Reproductive organs are usually in the form of, cones or strobili., The male cone are made up of microsporophyll and, female cones are made up of megasporophyll. The, presence of sporophyll (micro and megasporophyll), shows the development of seed habit but seeds develop, from naked ovule and are not covered., Other options are incorrect because monocots and dicots, belong to angiosperms which have well developed, covered seeds. Whereas, pteridophytes do not have, microsporphylls and are not adapted to the above said, conditions., 7. (b) Embryo sac in angiosperm is a female gametophyte., It contains 2 synergids, 1 egg cell, 3 antipodal cells and, one secondary nucleus., 8. (c) Endosperm is a product of triple fusion. One male, nuclei (n =18) fuses with diploid secondary nucleus (2n, = 36), so it becomes triploid structure (3n = 54). So,, ploidy of endosperm is (3n) and chromosomes will be, 54., 9. (a) The germination of haploid spores of mosses, produced by sporophyte after reduction division these, haploid spores when germinate, form the protonema., This structure later develops into an independent, gametophytic plant., 10. (d) Sequoia sempervirens is a gymnopermic plant. It is, a group of plants having thick, woody, branched stems., These plants also have some xeric adaptations which, help them survive in adverse climatic conditions., The other examples are incorrect because pteridophytes, is primitive group, no tree is included in this. Ferns are, included in Pteridophytes. Angiosperms are different, from gymnosperms in seed habit and adaptations., Objective NCERT Gear Up Biology, , Past Year Questions, 1. (d) The sporophyte of moss is more elaborate than, liverworts., 2. (c) Cycas (Gymnosperm) and Adiantum (Pteridophytes), both have motile sperms., 3. (d) The mosses have an elaborate mechanism of spore, dispersal. Common examples of mosses are Funaria,, Polytrichum and Sphagnum., The male or female cones or strobili may be borne on, the same tree (Pinus). However, in Cycas male cones and, megasporophylls are borne on different trees., 4. (c) Bryophytes have free living, independent male and, , female gametophytes., 5. (c), 6. (c) In Pinus, male and female cones are present on the, same tree., 7. (c) In pteridophytes gametophytes do not have free living, existence e.g. Funaria & Polytrichum (Bryophytes) while, Dryopteris (pteridophyte) has independent gametophyte., 8. (d) Gnetum includes advanced Gymnosperm. Secondary, xylem shows vessels unlike Cycas and Pinus it does not, have archegonia., 9. (d) Riccia, Dryopteris and Cycas have motile male, gametes., 10. (a) Ginkgo → Living fossil, Wolffia → Smallest flowering plant, Macrocystis → Largest perennial Brown alga, Rhizophora → Selaginella, , Peritrichous flagellation → E.coli, 11. (a) Male gametes of Cycas are largest in nature, visible, to naked eye, oval in form and multiciliated. Embryo, consists of suspensor, radical, two unequal cotyledons., , Assertion & Reason, 1. (a) Mosses has the ability to form dense mat on soil, due, to this property they reduce the impact of falling rain and, prevent soil erosion., 2. (b) In pteridophytes, development of zygotes into young, embryos take place within female gametophytes. This, event is a precursor to seed habit. Therefore, approach, towards seed habit was observed in pteridophytes and, considered an important step in evolution., 3. (c) In gymnosperms, seeds are not covered, i.e, naked, and are not shed at very early stage. Fruits are formed in, angiosperms but not in gymnosperms., 4. (b) The life cycle of bryophyte shows regular alternation, gametophytic and sporophytic generations. First phase is, gametophytic phase. Gametophytic generation produces, gametes., 5. (a) Lichens are symbiotic associations, i.e., mutually, useful associations, between algae and fungi. The, algal component is known as phycobiont and fungal, component as mycobiont., 6. (b) Agar, one of the commercial products obtained from, Gelidium and Gracilaria are used to grow microbes and, in preparations of ice-creams and jellies., 7. (b) The predominant stage of the life cycle of a moss is, the gametophyte. It consists of two stages., Protonema stage: The first stage., Leafy stage: The second stage.

65, 8. (c) Mosses along with lichens are the first organisms, to colonise rocks and hence, are of great ecological, importance., , 14. (b) Gymnosperms are commonly known as naked seed, plants because their ovules (which later become seeds), are not covered by the ovary wall., , 9. (c) The need for water for fertilisation, the spread of, living pteridophytes is limited and restricted to narrow, geographical regions., , Seed is a complex structure because it contains cells, from three generations. Diploid body of ovule from the, parent sporophyte. Female gametophyte is gametophytic, generation. Embryo is the next sporophytic generation., , 10. (c) Vegetative reproduction in mosses is by fragmentation, and budding in secondary protonema. After fertilization, the zygote develops into a sporophyte, consisting of a, foot, seta and capsule. The sporophyte in mosses is more, elaborate than that in liver worts, the capsule contains, spores. Spores are formed after meiosis and develop into, new gametophyte., 11. (d) The leaves in gymnosperms are well adapted to withstand the extreme temperature, humidity and wind. In, conifers, the needle like leaves reduce the surface area., Their thick cuticle and sunken stomata help to reduce the, water losses., 12. (b) Leaves in gymnosperms are well adapted to withstand, extremes of temperature humidity and wind. In conifers,, needle like leaves reduce the surface area for water loss., Thick cuticle and sunken stomata are also responsible, for reducing water loss in plants., Unlike bryophytes and pteridophytes, in gymnosperms, male and female gametophytes do not have an, independent free-living existence. They remain within, the sporangia retained on sporophytes., 13. (a) Angiosperms is the highly evolved group of plant, kingdom. It is adapted for terrestrial habitats. Swimming, habit of sperms is completely lacking in angiosperms., The pollen grains reached to the stigma by an external, agency and delivers the male nucleus in the ovule, through pollen tube., , 15. (b) The chloroplast of green algae contain one or more, distinct, rounded, proteinaceous bodies called the, pyrenoids. Pyrenoids diminish in size and ultimately, disappear if the plant is under conditions of starvation., They reappear when the conditions become favourable., 16. (b) In eusporangiate type of development, large sporangia, develop from a group of initials. In leptosporangiate, type of development, small sporangia develop from a, single initial, the former builds the entire sporangium,, its contents and stalk and the latter do not take part in the, process., 17. (c) Chlorella could serve as a potential source of food, (rich in protein) and energy because its photosynthetic, efficiency can theoretically reach 8%, comparable with, other highly efficient crops nutrients., When dried, Chlorella has about 45% protein, 20%, fat, 20% carbohydrate, 5% fibre and 10% minerals and, vitamins., 18. (b) Cycas is a gymnospermic plant. Fertilisation in Cycas, is both siphonogamous (by pollen tube) and zooidogamy, (by water film)., 19. (b) In the life cycle of Funaria, there occur two distinct, individuals one of these is haploid, independent, leafy, moss plant, the other is diploid leafless sporogonium. It, is partially dependent on the leafy gametophyte for its, nutrition., , Plant Kingdom, , https://rebrand.ly/DownloadMore
