| 1. | Archaebacterium | 2. | Chrysophyte |
| 3. | Dinoflagellate | 4. | Blue green laga |
| I: | under unfavourable conditions, they form an aggregation called plasmodium which may grow and spread over several feet. |
| II: | during suitable conditions, the plasmodium differentiates and forms fruiting bodies bearing spores at their tips. |
| 1. | a dsDNA virus | 2. | a gran negative bacterium |
| 3. | a flagellated protozoan | 4. | a fungus |
| 1. | The fungi are heterotrophic organisms. |
| 2. | Fungi are cosmopolitan and occur in air, water, soil and on animals and plants. |
| 3. | They prefer to grow in warm and humid places. |
| 4. | None of the members is unicellular. |
| I: | Their bodies consist of long, slender thread-like structures called hyphae. |
| II: | The network of hyphae is known as mycelium. |
| III: | Some hyphae are continuous tubes filled with multinucleated cytoplasm – these are called coenocytic hyphae. |
| IV: | The cell walls of fungi are composed of chitin and polysaccharides. |
