Total Questions : 39 | Page 4 of 4 pages
Question 31. Which of the following groups of animals are ecologically similar?
  1.    Producer protists and consumer protists
  2.    Monerans and producer protists
  3.    Consumer protists and fungi
  4.    Monerans and fungi
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Monerans and fungi
:
D
Most of themonerans and fungi are decomposers i.e., that is biotic component of ecosystem
Question 32. On which of the following, is five kingdom classification based?
  1.    Cell wall
  2.    Genetic material
  3.    Types of organelles
  4.    Mode of nutrition
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Mode of nutrition
:
D
Whittaker's system of classification is based on complexity of cell structure and mode of nutrition.
Question 33. Which one of the following is a characteristic feature of chrysophytes?
  1.    They are parasitic forms which cause disease in animals
  2.    They have a protein rich layer called pellicle
  3.    They have indestructible wall layer deposited with silica
  4.    They are commonly called dinoflagellates
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> They have indestructible wall layer deposited with silica
:
C
Inchrsophytes,the cell walls form two thin overlapping shells, which fit together as in a soap box. The walls are embedded with silica and thus, the walls are indestructible.
Question 34. The maximum type of nutritional diversity is found in
  1.    Monera
  2.    Protista
  3.    Mycota
  4.    Plantae
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Monera
:
A
Monerans have the maximum nutritional diversity as some of them are - autotrophs - can prepare their own food (eg. Cyanobacteria),heterotrophs - depend on others for food (eg. Escherichia coli),saprophytes - feed on dead and decaying matter,parasitic - live on other host cells for survival and cause,symbiotic - in mutual relation with other organisms (eg. Anabaena ),commensalism - it is where one organism is benefited and the other is not affected (eg. Salmonella),mutualism - where both the organisms are benefited.
Question 35. Which among the following organisms lacks a cell wall throughout its life?
  1.    Dinoflagelletes
  2.    Chrysophytes
  3.    Mycoplasmas
  4.    Slime molds
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Mycoplasmas
:
C
Mycoplasmais a genus of bacteria that lack a cell wall around their cell membrane. Without a cell wall, they are unaffected by many common antibiotics such as penicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics that target cell wall synthesis.
Question 36.  A bacterium divides every 35 minutes. If a culture containing 105  cells per mL is grown for 175 min, what will be the cell concentration per mL after 175 minutes?
  1.      175 x 105 cells
  2.     32 X 105 cells
  3.     5 x 105 cells
  4.    35 x 105 cells
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. ->  32 X 105 cells
:
B
The time taken by a bacterium to divide is calledgeneration time (G) or doubling time,since each parent cell divides into two daughter cells.
In this particular culture, the doubling time is 35 minutes. We are asked what will be cell concentration after 175 min.
Given,thegeneration time Gis 35 min.The total time elapsed (t)=175 min.
Then the cells would have divided or doubled 5 times (175/35=5), in this period. This means n=5 (wheren is the number of generations).
After one doubling, a single cell would become 2 cells. In the second generation, these 2 cells would double to 4 cells and so on.
This gives a simple formula= 2n. Given that n=5, then 25=32.
This calculation, assumes that the starting culture contained a single cell.
In the problem, we are informed that the culture contained an initial cell concentration of 105cells/mL.
Therefore, the final cell concentration after 175 min should be 105X 32 cells/mL.
Question 37. Which statement is incorrect?
  1.    Plant virus contains RNA
  2.    Animal virus contains DNA
  3.    T4 contains dsDNA
  4.    TMV contains dsRNA
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> TMV contains dsRNA
:
D
The plant viruses –Tobamo viruses(tobacco mosaic virus) tomato mosaic virus;Potex viruses (potato virus X, papaya mosaic virus); yellow mosaic virus, tobacco necrosis virus, alpha mosaic virus; satellite tobacco necrosis virus and some animal viruses –Togaviurs,Picornaviruses (Polivirus), etc., contain single stranded RNA.
Question 38. In Gram staining of bacteria, the primary stain used is
  1.    Safranin
  2.    Aceto-orcein
  3.    Crystal violet
  4.    iodine solution
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Crystal violet
:
C
Primary stain used is crystal violet.Crystal violet stains all thecells blue/purple.
Question 39. Select the correct match from the following.
  1.    Phytoplankton – Protozoa
  2.    Holozoic nutrition – Fungi
  3.    Parasitic protists – Slime moulds
  4.    Symbiosis – Lichens
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Symbiosis – Lichens
:
D
Symbiosis - association between two organisms where both get benefited. Lichens are symbioticassociation between algae and fungi.
