Question 21. Which one of the following is not eukaryotic?
  1.    Protista
  2.    Monera
  3.    Plantae
  4.    Animalia
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Monera
:
B
Monera is prokaryotic as they do not have a well-defined nucleus.All the organisms of this kingdom are prokaryotes. Complex structure was the basis of classification of organisms, many centuries ago. According to R.H. Whittaker's five kingdom classification, all the bacteria were placed under the Kingdom Monera. Monera is consideredas the most primitive group of organisms. They include various types of bacteria andblue-green algae. Monerans are most abundant of all organisms, due to the versatility of their habitat. It is estimated that a single drop of water contains 50 billion bacteria.
Question 22. The algal component of a lichen is known as
  1.    Mycobiont
  2.    Phycobiont
  3.    Phycocyanin
  4.    Phycoerythrin
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Phycobiont
:
B
Lichen is a symbiotic association between algae and fungi. Algal component is called phycobiont and fungal component is called mycobiont.
Question 23. Assertion: Amoebiasis is caused by Amoeba
Reason: The protist feeds on red blood corpuscles.
  1.    Both Reason and Assertion are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  2.    Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  3.    Assertion is true but reason is false
  4.    Assertion is false but reason is true
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Assertion is false but reason is true
:
D
Person suffering from Amoebic dysentery has repeated blood mixed, slimy and foul smelling motions and causes the disease known asamoebiasis. This protist, Entamoeba histolytica, feeds on red blood corpuscles by damagingthe wall of intestines and reaching the blood capillaries.
Question 24. Which of the following is not a character of Protista?
  1.    Protists are prokaryotic
  2.    Some Protists have cell walls
  3.    Mode of nutrition is both autotrophic and heterotrophic
  4.    Body organization is cellular
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Protists are prokaryotic
:
A
Protists are eukaryotic in nature.
Question 25. Assertion: Euglena is a plant due to the presence of chlorophyll.
Reason: Euglena cannot be classified on the basis of two kingdom system.
  1.    Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
  2.    Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
  3.    Assertion is true but Reason is false
  4.    Assertion is false but Reason is true
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
:
A
Euglena is a green coloured, single celled organism which moves like animals. Some taxonomists considered it to beanimals. Some taxonomists considered ita plant and included it in the plant kingdom on the basis of chlorophyll while others included it in animal kingdom alongwith the protozoans because of the locomotion by flagella.
Question 26. The interior of a cow-dung pile kept for a few days is quite warm. This is mostly because
  1.    Cellulose present in cow dung is a good insulator
  2.    Bacterial metabolism inside the dung releases heat
  3.    Undigested material released heat due to oxidation by air
  4.    Dung is dark and absorbs a lot of heat
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Bacterial metabolism inside the dung releases heat
:
B
Bacterial metabolism inside the dung releases heat
Question 27. Assertion: Deuteromycetes lack sexual reproduction
Reason: Fungi show three type of reproduction asexual, sexual and vegetative.
  1.    Both Reason and Assertion are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  2.    Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  3.    Assertion is true but reason is false
  4.    Both assertion and reason are false
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
:
B
Sexual reproduction is absent (as the sexual stage is absent) in the artificial group of fungi calledimperfecti ordeuteromycetes.
Question 28. The latest view for the origin of viruses
  1.    These have arisen from nucleic acid and protein, found in primitive soup.
  2.    These arose from bacteria as a result of the loss of cell wall, ribosome, etc.
  3.    These arose from some bacteria, which had developed a nucleus only
  4.    These are modified plasmids, which are infact fragments of the nucleic acids of the lost.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> These are modified plasmids, which are infact fragments of the nucleic acids of the lost.
:
D
Many scientists believed that viruses are modified plasmids, which are the fragments of nucleic acids of host. These genome fractions escaped and got induced into host cells.
Question 29. If Amoeba is kept in distilled water, its contractile vacuole
  1.    Works slowly
  2.    Works faster
  3.    Remains unaffected
  4.    Disappears
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Works faster
:
B
IfAmoeba is kept in distilled water, its contractile vacuole works faster due to increased rate of endosmosis.
Question 30. Phycomycetes is a class of kingdom
  1.    Protista
  2.    Fungi
  3.    Plantae
  4.    Animalia
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Fungi
:
B
Phycomycetes is a class of kingdom Fungi
