Glycocalyx:
I. serves to protect the bacterium from harmful phagocytes
II. allow the bacterium to attach itself to inert surfaces
III. prevent desiccation of bacteria

1. Only I and II are correct
2. Only I and III are correct
3. Only II and III are correct
4. I, II and III are correct

Most bacteria contain plasmids that often encode for traits that are:
1. advantageous but not essential to their bacterial host
2. advantageous and essential to their bacterial host
3. not advantageous but essential to their bacterial host
4. neither advantageous nor essential to their bacterial host

The given diagram shows:

1. Staphylobacilli
2. Staphylococci
3. Streptobacilli
4. Streptococci

Consider the given two statements:

The largest structures passed through the nuclear pores are:

Cytoskeleton elements involved in intracellular transport, the formation of the axoneme of cilia and flagella and the mitotic spindle, are:
1. Microfilaments
2. Intermediate filaments
3. Microtubules
4. FTS-Z

The type of chromosomes not seen in humans are:
1. Metacentric
2. Sub-metacentric
3. Acrocentric
4. Telocentric

If a species of bacteria has multiple strains but only some are pathogenic, it is likely that unlike the non-pathogenic strains, the pathogenic strains will have:
1. Plasmids
2. Lipopolysaccharide
3. Pili
4. Flagellum

Consider the given two statements:
I. Gas vacuoles, found in cyanobacteria, are membrane-bound, spindle-shaped vesicles that provides buoyancy to these cells.
II. Positive buoyancy is needed to keep the cells in the upper reaches of the water column, so that they can continue to perform photosynthesis.

1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct and II is incorrect
4. Both I and II are incorrect

A true fungal cell wall does not contain:
1. Chitin
2. Glucans
3. Proteins
4. Cellulose
