The chief producers in the oceans are:
1. | Floating hydrophytes | 2. | Blue green algae |
3. | Desmids | 4. | Diatoms |
Chrysophytes:
I. | include diatoms and desmids |
II. | are found only in marine water |
III. | are planktonic |
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
The cell walls of diatoms are ‘indestructible’ as they are embedded with:
1. | Silica | 2. | Chitin |
3. | Calcium | 4. | Raphides |
Assertion (A): | Diatoms are the chief ‘producers’ in the oceans. |
Reason (R): | Diatoms are one of the most abundant and diverse groups of photosynthetic phytoplankton in the oceans. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
3. | (A) is True; (R) is False |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
I: | Diatoms are chief producers in the oceans |
II: | Diatoms are microscopic and float passively in water |
III: | The walls of diatoms are easily destructible |
IV: | 'Diatomaceous earth' is formed by the cell walls of diatoms |
Assertion(A): | Diatoms have left behind large amount of cell wall deposits in their habitat. |
Reason(R): | Diatoms are the chief ‘producers’ in the oceans. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) does not explain (A) |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
