An association of two different organisms, in which both are benefitted is called ____________.

  1. heterotrophic

  2. saprophytic

  3. parasitic

  4. symbiotic

  5. partially parasitic


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Some organisms live together and share shelter and nutrients. Thus, both the organisms involves benefit from each other. This is called symbiotic relationship.

Which of the following organisms prepare food for themselves using simple naturally available raw materials?

  1. Autotrophs

  2. Hetrotrophs

  3. Parasites

  4. Saprophytes

  5. Insectivores


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Plants that make their own food are called autotrophs.

The absence of which of the following will be a reason for photosynthesis not taking place in the plants?

  1. Oxygen

  2. Cell wall

  3. Water

  4. Chlorophyll

  5. Centrosomes


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Yes, Chlorophyll is vital for photosynthesis. It  allows plants to absorb energy from light. Thus, photosynthesis cannot take place in the absence of chlorophyll.

Which of the following is/are the correct reason/s for the pitcher plant being an insectivorous plant? (a) It has a digestive system like human beings, (b) It lacks chlorophyll, (c) It grows in soils that lack nitrogen

  1. only a

  2. only b

  3. only c

  4. both b and c

  5. a, b and c


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Some plants do not get all the required nutrients from the soil in which they grow. The Pitcher plant is insectivoroui because it gets nutrients like nitrogen from the insects.

Which of the following statements is correct?

  1. Plants use chemical substances like carbon dioxide and nitrogen derived from the atmosphere, for the synthesis of food.

  2. Using carbon dioxide as a source of energy, plants convert simple substances into complex food.

  3. Complex chemical substances such as chlorophyll and proteins are the products of photosynthesis.

  4. Solar energy is stored in the form of food in the leaves with the help of stomata.

  5. The presence of starch in leaves indicates the occurrence of photosynthesis.


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

The presence of starch in leaves indicates the occurrence of photosynthesis. This statement is correct.

Cuscuta is an example of ____________.

  1. host

  2. saprotroph

  3. insectivores

  4. autotroph

  5. parasite


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Cuscuta or amarbel lacks chlorophyll and cannot manufacture its own food. It climbs on other plants to derive nutrition from them. Since it deprives the host of valuable nutrients, it is called a parasite.

Which of the following plants is an example of a saprotroph?

  1. Amarbel

  2. Mushroom

  3. China rose

  4. Venus fly trap

  5. Tiger lily


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. The mode of nutrition in which organisms take in nutrients in solution form from dead and decaying matter is called saprotrophic nutrition. Plants which use saprotrophic mode of nutrition are called saprotrophs. The mushroom is a saprotroph.

The mode of nutrition of bread yeast and fungi is called _____________.

  1. autotrophic

  2. insectivores

  3. parasitic

  4. saprotrophic

  5. symbiotic


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Bread yeast and fungi secrete digestive juices on the dead and decaying matter and convert it into a solution. Then they absorb the nutrients from it. This mode of nutrition in which organisms take in nutrients in solution form from dead and decaying matter is called saprotrophic nutrition.

Tiny pores, or guard cells present on the surface of leaves, are called _________.

  1. cell membrane

  2. nucleus

  3. cytoplasm

  4. stomata

  5. chlorophyll


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Carbon dioxide from air is taken in through the tiny pores present on the surface of the leaves. These pores are surrounded by ‘guard cells’. Such pores are called stomata.

What is the mode of nutrition of algae?

  1. Autotrophic

  2. Saprophytic

  3. Insectivores

  4. Parasitic

  5. Symbiotic


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Algae contain chlorophyl, which gives them the green colour. Algae can also prepare their own food by photosynthesis.

Which of the following is also known as the food factory of the plant?

  1. Stem

  2. Root

  3. Fruit

  4. Leaf

  5. Branch


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Leaves are the food factories of plants. The synthesis of food in plants occurs in leaves.

Which of the following plants requires extra nitrogen in the form of fertilizers?

  1. Gram

  2. Peas

  3. Moong

  4. Beans

  5. Wheat


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Wheat cannot fix nitrogen from soil or air. Thus, it needs extra nutrition from fertilizers.

Photosynthesis requires several raw materials. Match the location with the raw material:

a. Plant 1. Carbon dioxide
b. Soil 2. Sunlight
c. Air 3. Chlorophyll
d. Day 4. Nitrogen
  1. a - 1, b - 2, c - 3, d - 4

  2. a - 2, b - 4, c - 3, d - 1

  3. a - 3, b - 4, c - 1, d - 2

  4. a - 4, b - 2, c - 3, d - 1

  5. a - 1, b - 2, c - 4, d - 3


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is correct. Plants have chlorophyll. Soil contains the nitrogen that helps during photosynthesis. Air has carbon dioxide. Sunlight required by the plants during photosynthesis is availaible during day.

Which of the following statement/s is/are correct? (a) Fungi reproduce using spores that germinate and grow into a new fungus. (b) Heterotrophic plants do not have chlorophyll. (c) The food is sent to other parts of the plant through the stomata.

  1. only a

  2. only b

  3. only c

  4. both a and b

  5. a, b and c


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Fungi reproduce using spores that germinate and grow into a new fungus. Heterotrophic plants do not have chlorophyll  and cannot produce food by photosynthesis. Both statements are correct.

Match the following columns.

Column I Column II
a. Mistle-toe 1. Parasite
b. Lichen 2. Symbiotic
c. Dodder 3. Partial parasite
  1. a - 1, b - 2, c - 3

  2. a - 2, b - 1, c - 3

  3. a - 3, b - 2, c - 1

  4. a - 3, b - 1, c - 2

  5. a - 2, b - 3, c - 1


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Mistle-toe is partially parasitic. The algal and fungal partners in lichen are symbiotic. Dodder is a parasite.
