Total Questions : 117 | Page 6 of 12 pages
Question 51. All plants can perform photosynthesis.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Only theplants containing chlorophyll canperform photosynthesis. There are a few plants which cannotprepare their own food and they live on other host plants as parasites and obtain their nutrients from them. Cuscuta is one such plant.
Question 52. Rhizobium bacteria help in nitrogen fixation, but they cannot make their own food.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Rhizobium cannot make its own food. It lives in the roots of peas, moong, beans and other legumes. Itobtains its nutrients from these plants and also gets shelter. In return, they help the plant to fix atmospheric nitrogen.
Question 53. Complete the following equation representing photosynthesis.
Carbon dioxide  +  Water  Sunlight and Chlorophyll−−−−−−−−−−−−−−  ________ + ________
  1.    Proteins, Carbon
  2.    Carbohydrates, Proteins
  3.    Carbohydrates, Oxygen
  4.    Carbon, Oxygen
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Carbohydrates, Oxygen
:
C
Green plants perform photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. This processrequires carbon dioxide and waterto produce glucose. This simple sugar is acarbohydrate.Oxygen is released as abyproduct during thisprocess.
Complete The Following Equation Representing Photosynthesis....
Question 54. Directly or indirectly, all the animals, including humans, depend on ___ for food.
  1.    plants
  2.    algae
  3.    fungi
  4.    themselves
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> plants
:
A
Humans and animals are directly or indirectly dependent on plants for food. Because plants can make their own food through the process of photosynthesis.
Question 55. ____ are called the food factories of the plants.
  1.    Roots
  2.    Leaves
  3.    Fruits
  4.    Flowers
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Leaves
:
B
Green plants are called producers or autotrophs as they make their own food through the process of photosynthesis. Leaves prepare food through this process. So,they are called the food factories or the kitchen of the plants.
Question 56. Identify the saprotroph from the given organisms.
  1.    Algae
  2.    Fungi
  3.    Rhizobium
  4.    Lichen
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Fungi
:
B
Saprotrophs are organisms that derive nutrition from dead and decayingorganisms.Fungi, like mushrooms and yeast, secrete digestive juices on the dead and decaying matter and convert it into simpler substances or nutrients. Then, they absorb these nutrients.
Question 57. Identify the green part of the cactus given in the image below.
Identify The Green Part Of The Cactus Given In The Image Bel...
  1.    Leaf
  2.    Stem
  3.    Root
  4.    Flower
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Stem
:
B
The green part shown in the above picture is the stem of the cactus plant. It is green in colour and is involved in photosynthesis. The stem is fleshy and stores water. The leaves are modified to spines to prevent water loss.
Question 58.


Which of the following contain chlorophyll?


  1.     Algae
  2.     Cuscuta
  3.     Mushrooms
  4.     Mango trees
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Algae
:
A and D
Algae and mango tree are green in colour due to the presence of chlorophyll and can make their own food by the process of photosynthesis.
Cuscuta is a parasitic plant that does not have chlorophyll and are dependent on the host plants for food. 
Fungi like mushrooms lacks chlorophyll and they feed on dead and decaying organic matter, thus are called saprotrophs.
Question 59.


Which of the following is not an example of a parasite?


  1.     Leech
  2.     Lichen
  3.     Mosquito
  4.     Mushroom
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Lichen
:
B and D

Parasites derive their nutrition from a host. Leeches and mosquitoes are parasites as they derive nutrition from a host. Mushrooms have saprotropic mode of nutrition as they feed on dead and decaying organic matter. Lichens are a symbiotic association of algae and fungi.


Question 60.


Identify the saprotroph from the given organisms.


  1.     Algae
  2.     Fungi
  3.     Rhizobium
  4.     Lichen
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Fungi
:
B

Saprotrophs are organisms that derive nutrition from dead and decaying organisms. Fungi, like mushrooms and yeast, secrete digestive juices on the dead and decaying matter and convert it into simpler substances or nutrients. Then, they absorb these nutrients.
