What causes excessive growth of algae and other aquatic plants?

  1. Waste matters

  2. Organic Nutrients

  3. Inorganic Nutrients

  4. Solid waste
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Eutrophication, the excessive growth of algae, is primarily caused by the influx of inorganic nutrients like nitrates and phosphates into water bodies.

Inorganic salts, mineral acids and metal compounds are:

  1. Inorganic pollutants

  2. Organic pollutants

  3. Air pollution

  4. All of them
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Inorganic salts, mineral acids, and metal compounds are chemical substances that do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, classifying them as inorganic pollutants when they contaminate the environment.

  2. Autotrophs

  3. Consumers

  4. Decomposers
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Autotrophs are organisms that produce their own food using sunlight (photosynthesis) or chemical energy, converting inorganic substances into organic matter.

Simple sugar of blood is

  1. Galactose

  2. Lactose

  3. Sucrose

  4. Glucose
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Glucose is a simple monosaccharide sugar. It is a hexose sugar. It is an aldose sugar. Ingested carbohydrates are broken down into monosaccharides which are absorbed in the intestine. Glucose is absorbed in intestine. Glucose is also chief form of sugar in blood and circulates in blood to supply energy to visceral organs.

Find the odd :

  1. Nitrogen

  2. Potassium

  3. Sulphur

  4. Ammonia
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Nutrients obtained by plants and animals are classified into two groups organic and inorganic. Inorganic nutrients are those that are not easily found in animals or plants. They are always converted into their organic forms. Ammonia is an organic nutrient generally found in animals for synthesis of various metabolite.

Fertilizers supply this component that is essential for plant growth. Name the component.

  1. Carbon

  2. Calcium

  3. Nitrogen

  4. Potassium
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Nitrogen is one such element which is very important in plant growth because it is an essential part of the chlorophyll that is the site of photosynthesis.

Nitrogen is not found in the free state in the soil and the plants cannot take up nitrogen from the air directly so we add fertilizers that are rich in nitrogen and supply the plant with it.
Calcium and potassium are trace elements and are needed in small amounts and can be taken up from the soil. Plants take up carbon directly from the atmosphere.
So, the correct option is 'Nitrogen'

Plants require nitrogen along with carbohydrates. This nitrogen can be obtained by

  1. Rhizobium

  2. Vibrio

  3. Salmonella

  4. Felix
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Rhizobium is a nitrogen-fixing bacteria found in symbiotic association with the root nodules of leguminous plants. 

For nitrogen fixation rhizobium needs an oxygen-free environment because oxygen acts as a poison and so it forms the association because the root nodules contain leg hemoglobin which is an oxygen scavenger. 
In return the plant gets Nitrogen.
So, the correct option is 'Rhizobium'

Which one includes others?

  1. Photosynthesis

  2. Catabolism

  3. Metabolism

  4. Anabolism
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Photosynthesis is a metabolic process of formation of glucose from carbon dioxide and water in presence of light energy.

Anabolic processes are those in which small molecules combine to form large molecules. The photosynthesis is an anabolic process as small carbon and hydrogen molecule combine to form the glucose.
Catabolism is a process of breakdown of larger molecules into smaller once. The photolysis of water is a catabolic process.
So, the correct option is 'Photosynthesis'
