Question 1.


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 in filtration and purification of liquids as well as insulation and sound proofing. 
Question 2.


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 they do not possess ribosomes, they cannot independently form proteins from molecules of messenger 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 3.

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.


Cyanobacterial cells which are specialized for nitrogen fixation are


  1.     Homogenes
  2.     Heterocysts
  3.     Endospores
  4.     Akinetes
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Heterocysts
:
B

heterocyst is a differentiated cyanobacterial cell that carries out nitrogen fixation. 


Question 6.


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 7.


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 8.


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 9.

  1.     Herbert Copeland
  2.     R H whittaker
  3.     Carl woese
  4.     Carolus Linnaeus
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> R H whittaker
:
B

R H Whittaker proposed the five kingdom classification in 1969 and named the kingdoms as Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia.
 


Question 10.


Slime moulds are ecologically


  1.     Consumers    
  2.     Decomposers
  3.     Both (a) and (b) 
  4.     Carnivores
 Discuss Question
