Question 11. Flagella of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells differ in
  1.    Type of movement and placement in cell             
  2.    Location in cell and mode of functioning
  3.    Microtubular organization and type of movement
  4.    Macrotubular organization and function
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Microtubular organization and type of movement
:
C
Eukaryotic flagella show 9+2 arrangement which is absent in prokaryotes.
Question 12. 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 13. Peptidoglycan cell wall is characteristic of
  1.    Bacteria
  2.    Fungi
  3.    Diatoms
  4.    Slime moulds
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Bacteria
:
A
The cell wall in bacteria is made up ofpeptidoglycan (murein). This is a polymer consisting of amino acids and sugars that form a layer outside the plasma membrane, forming the cell wall.
Question 14. Edible part of mushroom is
  1.    Basidiocarp
  2.    Primary mycelium
  3.    Fungal hyphae
  4.    Basidiospores
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Basidiocarp
:
A
Basidiocarp is the edible part of the mushroom
Question 15. Coprophilous fungi are those
  1.    Which grow on tree stumps
  2.    Which grow on dung
  3.    Which produce fruiting bodies
  4.    Which reproduce only asexually
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Which grow on dung
:
B
Herbivore dung supports a wide variety ofcoprophilous fungi.
Question 16. Which of the following statement is not true for retrovirus?
  1.    DNA is not present any stage in the life cycle of retroviruses
  2.    Retroviruses carry gene for RNA dependent DNA polymerase
  3.    The genetic material in mature retroviruses is RNA
  4.    Retroviruses are causative agents for certain kinds of cancer in man
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> DNA is not present any stage in the life cycle of retroviruses
:
A
Retroviruses are so named because they contain the enzyme reverse transcriptase or RNA-dependent DNA polymerase (RdRP). The genetic material of these viruses is RNA. From their genetic RNA they produce DNA using RdRP; e.g., Rous sarcoma virus.
Question 17. Fungi differ from other kingdoms in being
  1.    Unicellular decomposers
  2.    Unicellular consumers
  3.    Multicellular decomposers
  4.    Multicellular consumers
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Multicellular decomposers
:
C
All the decomposers are placed in mycota (fungi).
Question 18. Organisms found in extreme temperatures are
  1.    Cyanobacteria
  2.    Archaebacteria
  3.    Fungi
  4.    Eubacteria
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Archaebacteria
:
B
Archae bacteria live in extreme enviroments like hot springs, ice, etc..
Question 19. The word archaea means
  1.    Ancient
  2.    Extreme conditions
  3.    Organisms with no symmetry
  4.    All of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Ancient
:
A
"Archaea" literally means "ancient", and includes organisms that are capable of living in extreme habitats such as thermal vents, hypersaline waters, anoxic conditions etc.
Question 20. Consumer Protists are classified into four groups based on
  1.    Mode of nutrition
  2.    Cell wall
  3.    Locomotory organelles
  4.    Complexity of body structure
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Locomotory organelles
:
C
Consumer Protists are classified based on locomotory organelles like pseuopodia,ciliaand flagella.
