Which of the following conditions are developed due to monoculture.

  1. Multiplication of parasites

  2. More food production

  3. Lessure of toxic chemicals

  4. Ecosystem balance is undisturbed
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Monoculture is a practice in which the same crop is grown at the same soil for a long period of time. Reusing the exact same soil, instead of rotating three or four different crops following a pre-determined cycle, can lead to plant pathogens and diseases.
So the correct option is ' Multiplication of parasites'.

D Correct answer
Explanation

Members of the Cucurbritaceae family characteristically possess bicollateral, conjoint, and open vascular bundles. Bicollateral bundles have phloem on both the outer and inner sides of the xylem, and being open means they contain a cambium layer capable of secondary growth.

Which of the following is a correct pair?

  1. Cuscuta- Parasite

  2. Dischidia- Insectivorous

  3. Opuntia- Predator

  4. Capsella- Hydrophyte
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

1st option is correctly matched as Cuscuta also known as dodder/arambel is a genus of about 100–170 species of yellow, orange, or red parasitic plants. 

2nd option is incorrectly matched as Dischidia is non-insectivorous. They are epiphytes native to tropical areas of China, India and most areas of Indo-China.
3rd option is incorrectly matched as Opuntia is not a predator, it is a genus in the cactus family, Cactaceae. The genus occurs naturally throughout North and South America.
4th option is incorrectly matched as Capsella is not a hydrophyte, it is a genus of herbaceous plant and biennial plants in the mustard family Brassicaceae. 
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

Organisms that feed upon decaying matter are called as

  1. Heterotrophs

  2. Saprophytes

  3. Myxophytes

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

Depending upon the mode of nutrition the organisms are classified as autotroph and heterotroph. 

The autotrophs can synthesize their own food material from inorganic substances. 
The heterotrophs cannot synthesize their own food material. They have to obtain their food from other organisms. 
Saprophytes are one of the types heterotrophs. They are organisms which derive their food from dead and decayed organisms. 
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

Which one of the following has a saprophytic mode of nutrition?

  1. Roundworm

  2. Leech

  3. Mushroom

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

The mode of nutrition in which non-green plants take in nutrients in solution form from dead and decaying matter is called saprophytic or saprotrophic nutrition. Fungi, mushrooms, yeast and many bacteria are examples of saprophytes. Roundworms, leeches and lice are parasites, i.e., they live on or in another organism and get their nutrition from them.
