 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Mammals are warm-blooded animals who give birth to their younger ones.They have mammary glands for the production of milk to feed their younger ones.
Question 32. Sponges have a cell aggregate body plan with numerous pores all over their body. To which phylum do they belong?
  1.    Porifera
  2.    Coelenterata
  3.    Platyhelminthes
  4.    Nematoda
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Porifera
:
A
Sponges are animals that belong tothe phylumPorifera. They are multicellular organisms with a cellular level of body organisation (cell aggregate body)and bearpores all over their body with channels allowing water to circulate through them.
Question 33. Palaemon (prawn) has an open circulatory system and have jointed legs. To which group does it belong?
  1.    Arthropoda
  2.    Annelida
  3.    Coelenterata
  4.    Porifera
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Arthropoda
:
A
Palaemon (prawn) belongs to the phylum Arthropoda. Arthropods are invertebrate animals with an open circulatory system, paired jointed legs and a chitinous exoskeleton.
Question 34. Gymnosperms are known as the amphibians of the plant kingdom.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    When printed, the scientific name is given in italics.
  4.    The name of the species begins with a small letter.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Bryophytes are known as the amphibians of the plant kingdom. They can live in soil but are dependent on water also.
Question 35. Pteridophytes do not bear flowers and do not produce seeds.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Pteridophytesare members ofcryptogams, which means they have inconspicuous reproductive organs. Hence, Pteridophytes neither have flowers nor they produce seeds. They have naked embryos that are called spores.
Question 36. Prokaryotes are included in the kingdom___.
  1.    Monera
  2.    Fungi
  3.    Protista
  4.    Animalia
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Monera
:
A
Prokaryotes are organisms which lack a well-defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Monera is the only kingdom which contains prokaryotic organisms. Kingdom Monera includes bacteria, blue- green algae etc.
Question 37. Diatoms belong to kingdom ___.
  1.    Animalia
  2.    Plantae
  3.    Protista
  4.    Monera
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Protista
:
C
Kingdom Protista consists of different types of unicellular eukaryotic organisms. E.g. unicellular algae, diatoms, protozoans etc.
Most protists are unicellular, but there are some relatively simple multicellular forms also.
Question 38. To which phylum does butterfly belong?
  1.    Annelida
  2.    Mollusca
  3.    Arthropoda
  4.    Echinodermata
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Arthropoda
:
C
Arthropod means jointed legs. Animals which have jointed appendages belong to this phylum. This is the largest phylum in the animal kingdom. Butterflies are insects and hence they belong to the phylum Arthropoda.
Question 39. The system of scientific nomenclature that we use today was first introduced by ___.
  1.    Ernst Haeckel
  2.    Robert Whittaker
  3.    Carl Woese
  4.    Carolus Linnaeus
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Carolus Linnaeus
:
D
The system of scientific nomenclature that we use today was first introduced by Carolus Linnaeus. He proposed the binomial system of nomenclature, according to which the names of organisms will have two parts- genus and species.
Question 40. Plants that do not have a well-differentiated body fall under which of the following groups?
  1.    Thallophyta
  2.    Bryophyta
  3.    Pteridophyta
  4.    Gymnosperms
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Thallophyta
:
A
Thallophyta hasthe least tissue differentiation among all divisions of the Kingdom Plantae. This group of plants do not have specific parts like roots, stem, leaves and flower. Algae belong to this group. They are aquatic plants and reproduce through spores.
Bryophytes are photosynthetic, non-vascular terrestrial plants.
Pteridophytes are vascular plants (with xylem and phloem) that produces spores.
Gymnosperms are group of vascular plants that do not have an outer covering or shell around their seeds. They do not produce flowers.
