Very Short Answer Type Questions
- What is the principle underlying the use of cyanobacteria in agricultural fields for crop improvement?
- Suppose you accidentally find an old preserved permanent slide without a label. In your effort to identify it, you place the slide under microscope and observe the following features :-
- a. Unicellular
- b. Well defined nucleus
- c. Biflagellate–one flagellum lying longitudinally and the other transversely.
What would you identify it as? Can you name the kingdom it belongs to?
- How is the five–kingdom classification advantageous over the twokingdom classification?
- Polluted water bodies have usually very high abundance of plants like Nostoc and Oscillitoria. Give reasons.
- Are chemosynthetic bacteria-autotrophic or heterotrophic?
- The common name of pea is simpler than its botanical (scientific) name Pisum satirum. Why then is the simpler common name not used instead of the complex scientific/ botanical name in biology?
- A virus is considered as a living organism and an obligate parasite when inside a host cell. But virus is not classified along with bacteria or fungi. What are the characters of virus that are similar to non-living objects?
- In the five kingdom system of Whittaker, how many kingdoms are eukaryotes?
Short Answer Type Questions
- Diatoms are also called as ‘pearls of ocean’, why? What is diatomaceous earth?
- There is a myth that immediately after heavy rains in forest, mushrooms appear in large number and make a very large ring or circle, which may be several metres in diameter. These are called as ‘Fairy rings’. Can you explain this myth of fairy rings in biological terms?
- Neurospora – an ascomycetes fungus has been used as a biological tool to understand the mechanism of plant genetics much in the same way as Drosophila has been used to study animal genetics. What makes Neurospora so important as a genetic tool?
- Cyanobacteria and heterotrophic bacteria have been clubbed together in Eubacteria of kingdom Monera as per the “Five Kingdom Classification” even though the two are vastly different from each other.Is this grouping of the two types of taxa in the same kingdom justified? If so, why?
- At a stage of their cycle, ascomycetes fungi produce the fruiting bodies like apothecium, perithecium or cleistothecium. How are these three types of fruiting bodies different from each other?
- What observable features in Trypanosoma would make you classify it under kingdom Protista?
