Methanogens are commonly present in:
1. Alimentary canal of the lower invertebrates
2. Symbiotic relationships with xerophytic plants
3. Gut of ruminant animals
4. Close associations with corals
Consider the following regarding the reasons for the fact that now Cyanobacteria are kept in Monera and not in Plantae:
I. They are prokaryotes.
II. The cell wall of cyanobacteria has peptidoglycan.
III. They can fix atmospheric nitrogen.
The correct explanations would be:
1. I and II only
2. I and III only
3. II and III only
4. I, II and III
Identify the incorrect statement regarding cyanobacteria:
1. They have chlorophyll a similar to green plants
2. Colonies surrounded by pellicle – a protein rich layer
3. Often form blooms in polluted water bodies
4. Fix nitrogen in specialized cells called hetrocysts
Which of the following is not a feature of members of Kingdom Fungi?
1. Eukaryotic cell type
2. Chitinous cell wall
3. Organ system body organization
4. Heterotrophic mode of nutrition
The terms ‘bracket fungi’ or ‘pufballs’ is used for some of the members of the class:
1. Phycomycetes
2. Ascomycetes
3. Basidiomycetes
4. Deuteromycetes
Chemosynthestic autotrophic bacteria:
I. | Produce ATP by oxidizing inorganic substances |
II. | Play a great role in recycling nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, iron and sulfur |
1. | Both I and II are correct | 2. | Only I is correct |
3. | Only II is correct | 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
Identify the incorrect statement regarding true bacteria?
1. | As a group, they exhibit maximum metabolic diversity. |
2. | Chemosynthetic autotrophic bacteria play a great role in recycling nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorous, iron and sulphur. |
3. | Heterotrophic bacteria are the most abundant in nature. |
4. | Bacteria reproduce mainly by fission but sometimes under favourable conditions, they produce spores. |
In Whittaker’s Five Kingdom classification, heterotrophic mode of nutrition is present in members of:
1. | Two kingdoms | 2. | Three kingdoms |
3. | Four kingdoms | 4. | Five kingdoms |
Which of the following plant diseases in not caused by a fungus?
