Biological Diversity and Classification

Absorptive heterotrophy is similar in both monerans and fungi.In this an organism secretes enzymes externally into its environment to digest organic materials which are then absorbed.

Apis indica is the correct nomenclature of a species.It is a subspecies of honey bee.

Among the given options, cyanobacteria belong to blue-green algae.Cyanobacteria is a phylum of bacteria that obtain their energy through photosynthesis.

In three kingdom classification, organisms like yeasts and rhizopus are included in kingdom Plantae.

The cell wall of fungi is made up of chitin.The structure of chitin is comparable to the polysaccharide cellulose, forming crystalline nanofibrils .

Among these, mycplasma belong to kingdom Bacteria, not protista.They lack a cell wall around their cell membrane.

Organisms that feed on dead and decaying matter are saprophytic organisms. They obtain nutrients from dead organic matter.

Fungus can be differentiated from algae on the basis of pigment chlorophyll. This pigment is absent in fungi.

Among the given options, deodar bears seeds, but not fruits.It is a large evergreen coniferous tree reaching 40–50 m (131–164 ft) tall, exceptionally 60 m (197 ft) with a trunk up to 3 m (10 ft) in diameter. It has a conic crown with level branches and drooping branchlets.

Among the given options, mucus glands is the characteristic feature of amphibians.

 A ‘thallus’ refers to plant body having no distinction of stem, leaves and roots.

Presence of mammary glands is a characteristic feature of mammals. Mammary glands are the organs that, in the female mammal, produce milk for the sustenance of the young.

Since whlaes are mammals, they have lungs as the respiratory organs.

Echidna is an egg laying mammal.They live in Australia and New Guinea.

 Species, Genus, Family, Order, Class is correct sequence in hierarchy.

Salamander belongs to the phylum Amphibia.They are typically characterized by a superficially lizard-like appearance, with slender bodies, blunt snouts, short limbs projecting at right angles to the body, and the presence of a tail in both larvae and adults.

Among the given options, only turtle is a reptile whereas all others are amphibians. 

Among the given options, emu is a flightless bird.The soft-feathered, brown, flightless birds reach up to 1.9 metres (6.2 ft) in height. They have long thin necks and legs

Among the given options, phylum echinodermata includes spiny skinned organisms.The adults are recognizable by their (usually five-point) radial symmetry, and include such well-known animals as starfish, sea urchins, sand dollars, and sea cucumbers, as well as the sea lilies or "stone lilies"

Whittaker proposed the five kingdom classification.
