  1. Cell 1 and 2 only

  2. Cell 3 only

  3. Cell 4 only

  4. Cell 2 and 3 only

  5. Cell 3 and 4 only

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
A prokaryotic cell doesn't have well defined nucleus and membrane bound cell organelles but cell wall and cell membrane are present.
From the information given in the question, it is clear that cell 4 doesn't have a nucleus and the membrane bound cell organelles, mitochondria and chloroplast but it has cell wall and cell membrane.
So, the correct answer is 'Cell 4 only'.

  1. Phycomycetes

  2. Ascomycetes

  3. Actinomycetes

  4. Basidiomycetes

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Ray fungi are also called as Actinomycetes. They form a mycelium consisting of narrow hyphae. They show characteristics of both fungi and bacteria. They form the normal part of the mouth flora in the human. They produce many antibiotics like streptomycin, actinomycin and chloromycin. 

Thus, the correct answer is 'Actinomycetes.'

Which of the following differentiates gram positive and gram negative bacteria?

biology classification of plants monera five kingdoms of living organisms biodiversity and need of classification

  1. A liposaccharide, outer covering with a small peptidoglycan component in the cell wall

  2. A small peptidoglycan, component covering a large liposaccharide base

  3. A large peptidoglycan, component in the cell wall

  4. A cell wall composed of liposaccharide and chitin

  5. A cell wall composed of chitin over peptidoglycan

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The gram-negative cell wall is characterized by presence of outer membrane, a thinner peptidoglycan layer and extensive periplasmic space surrounding the peptidoglycan. The uppermost layer of the outer membrane has lipopolysaccharide while the innermost layer is a typical lipid layer. Gram positive cells are characterized by presence of single thick layer of cell wall which is made up of peptidogycan, teichoic acid and lipoteichoic acid. They lack outer membrane and porin and have narrow periplasmic space. Correct answer is C.

All autotrophs are monerans.

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

  • Monera is a kingdom that contains unicellular organisms with a prokaryotic cell organization such as a bacteria.
  • Moneran has heterogenicity in the mode of nutrition.
  • They are single-celled organisms with no true nuclear membrane 
  • The taxon Monera was first proposed as a phylum by Ernest Haeckel in 1866.
  • Autotrophs are the organism which prepares their own food. plants are autotrophs but belongs to Plantae.
So, the correct option is 'False'.
