Total Questions : 39 | Page 1 of 4 pages
Question 1. Cyanobacterial cells which are specialized for nitrogen fixation are
  1.    Homogenes
  2.    Heterocysts
  3.    Endospores
  4.    Akinetes
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Heterocysts
:
B
Aheterocystis a differentiated cyanobacterial cell that carries out nitrogen fixation.
Question 2. Identify the correct sequence of events in the viral replication process
I. Eclipse II. Maturation III. Adsorption
IV. Assembly V. Penetration VI. Lysis
  1.    I, II, III, IV, V, VI
  2.    II, I, III, IV, V, VI
  3.    III, V, I, II, IV, VI
  4.    III, V, VI, IV, II, I
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> III, V, I, II, IV, VI
:
C
The correct sequence of events in viral replication process is
Adsorption Penetration Eclipse Maturation AssemblyLysis
Question 3. A virus differs from a bacterium as it (virus) contains
  1.    A cell wall
  2.    Cytosol    
  3.    DNA as genetic material
  4.    DNA or RNA as genetic material, and no ribosomes
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> DNA or RNA as genetic material, and no ribosomes
:
D
A virus differs from a bacterium as it contains either DNA or RNA as genetic material, and has no ribosomes. Since theydo not possess ribosomes, they cannot independently form proteins from molecules ofmessenger RNA (as ribosomes are typically where protein synthesis happens in cells). Because of these limitations, viruses can replicate only within a living host cell.
Question 4. Slime moulds are ecologically
  1.    Consumers    
  2.    Decomposers
  3.    Both (a) and (b) 
  4.    Carnivores
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Decomposers
:
B
Slime moulds are decomposers.
Question 5. Which of the following is false regarding Cyanobacteria?
  1.    They are chemosynthetic autotrophs
  2.    They often form blooms in polluted water bodies
  3.    Anabaena is an example of this group
  4.    They have chlorophyll - a similar to green plants
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> They are chemosynthetic autotrophs
:
A
They are photosynthetic autotrophs.
Question 6. Bacteria differ from plants in that they do not have
  1.    DNA     
  2.    RNA
  3.    Cell wall
  4.    A well defined nucleus
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> A well defined nucleus
:
D
Bacteria are prokaryotes and do not have a well-defined nucleus, while plants are eukaryotes and have a well-defined nucleus.
Question 7. Which is correct?
  1.    Slime moulds are haploid
  2.    Protozoans lack cell wall
  3.    Dinoflagellates are immobile
  4.    Pellicle is absent in Euglena.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Protozoans lack cell wall
:
B
Protozoans lack cell wall. Cell wall is the characteristic feature of plant cells. Somemoulds are diploid, e.g.,physarum.Dianoflagellates are motile, e.g.,Notiluca,Peridinium etc.,The body of Euglena is covered with pellicle.
Question 8. Diatomaceous earth is used in 
  1.    Purification of uranium
  2.    Filtration and purification of liquids
  3.    Insulation and sound proofing
  4.    Both (b) and (c)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Both (b) and (c)
:
D
Diatomaceous earth is used infiltration and purification of liquids as well as insulation and sound proofing.
Question 9. What is common about Trypanosoma, Noctiluca, Monocystis and Giardia?
  1.    These are all unicellular protists
  2.    They have flagella
  3.    They produce spores
  4.    These are all parasites
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> These are all unicellular protists
:
A
Trypanosoma, Noctiluca, Monocystis and Giardia are all unicellular protists.
Question 10. Who proposed five kingdom classification and named kingdoms as Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia?
  1.    Herbert Copeland
  2.    R H whittaker
  3.    Carl woese
  4.    Carolus Linnaeus
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> R H whittaker
:
B
RHWhittaker proposed the five kingdom classification in 1969 and named the kingdoms as Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia.
