Consider the following regarding the reasons for the fact that now Cyanobacteria are kept in Monera and not in Plantae:
I. They are prokaryotes.
II. The cell wall of cyanobacteria has peptidoglycan.
III. They can fix atmospheric nitrogen
The Corrcet explanations would be:
1. I and II only
2. I and III only
3. II and III only
4. I, II and III
Saprophytic protists are:
1. | Slime moulds | 2. | Dinoflagellates |
3. | Chrysophytes | 4. | Protozoans |
Which of the following statements regarding Euglenoids is not true?
1. | Instead of a cell wall, they have a lipid rich pellicle |
2. | They have two flagella, a short and a long one |
3. | They are photosynthetic in the presence of sunlight but behave like a heterotroph when deprived of sunlight |
4. | Pigments of Euglenoids are identical to those present in higher plants |
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
1. Diatoms: Chief producers in oceans
2. Dinoflagellates: Red tides
3. Slime moulds: Spores dispersed by water
4. Euglenoids: Protein rich pellicle
Identify the incorrect statement :
1. Heterotrophic bacteria are important decomposers
2. Diatoms are chief producers in the oceans
3. The pigments of Euglenoids are identical to those present in higher plants
4. Very few protozoans are autotrophs
Members of Kingdom Protista
1. are primarily aquatic
2. do not have membrance bound organelles
3. are all ciliated or flagellated
4. reproduce exclusively by asexual means
