                  One day Rahim, a class six boy vomited three times. He was looking tired and dehydrated. His mother who was a nurse prepared a solution and gave it to him drink. He felt better after sometime and asked his mother what the solution was. His mother said it was Oral Rehydration Solution – ORS. Shall we see what an ORS is? Vomiting or loose motions result in loss of water and cause salt imbalance in the body. Loss of water (dehydration) can lead to serious problems. This can be prevented by consuming ORS at short intervals.<\/p>\n

                  Follow the steps to make ORS at home:<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  • Take a litre of boiled water. Cool it.<\/li>\n
                  • Add half a teaspoon of salt and six teaspoons of sugar to it.<\/li>\n
                  • You can also add a few drops of lemon juice to it. Stir it and give it to the person suffering from vomiting, loose motions or dehydration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                      \n
                    1. Virus is an a cellular, meaning it lacks a cell membrane.<\/li>\n
                    2. It is an obligate parasite. It requires a host cell to reproduce.<\/li>\n
                    3. It lacks an energy-generating system. It cannot produce its own energy.<\/li>\n
                    4. It cannot perform metabolic activities.<\/li>\n
                    5. Viruses are not composed of cells and do not reproduce themselves from other pre-existing viruses.<\/li>\n
                    6. The genetic material (DNA or RNA) inside the virus invades the living host cell, and causes the cell to replicate virus parts and assemble them to make new viruses, which are released to infect more cells.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
