In Amoeba and Paramecium osmoregulation occurs through

  1. Pseudopodia

  2. Nucleus

  3. Contractile vacuole

  4. General surface
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
Osmoregulation is the maintenance of constant osmotic pressure in the fluids of an organism by the control of water and salt concentration. In Amoeba and paramecium, the osmoregulation occurs through Contractile vacuole. The function of a contractile vacuole in protozoan is to expel out excess water via diffusion.
So, the correct answer is 'Contractile vacuole'.

If all ponds and puddles are destroyed, the organism likely to be destroyed is

  1. Leishmania

  2. Trypanosoma

  3. Ascaris

  4. Plasmodium

D Correct answer
Explanation
The breeding places of this mosquito is ponds, marshes, swampy areas etc. So, if all the ponds and puddles are destroyed. Anopheles will not be able to survive leading to destruction of its parasite, Plasmodium.
So, the correct answer is 'Plasmodium'

Protistan genome has

  1. Membrane bound nucleoproteins embedded in cytoplasm

  2. Free nucleic acid aggregates

  3. Gene containing nucleoproteins condensed together in loose mass

  4. Nucleoprotein in direct contact with cell substance
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Protista are eukaryotic organism. They have well defined membrane bound nucleus, which encloses genetic material and membrane bound cell organelle in cytoplasm.

Therefore the correct option is A.

What is not connected with reproduction of protozoans?

  1. Cryptogamy

  2. Schizogamy

  3. Autogamy

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

Schizogeny is the method of reproduction in which production of a sexual individual from an asexual form usually by fission.

Cryptogamy involves new individuals with spores without the formation of seeds or flowers.
Autogamy is a type of reproduction in which the production of offspring is done by the fusion of two gametes from the same individual.
Conjugation is the process of reproduction in which the genetic material is transferred between two cells by a direct cell to cell contact.
So the correct answer is yes 'Schizogamy'.

Kingdom protista includes

  1. Life cycle showing sporic meiosis

  2. Life cycle showing zygotic meiosis

  3. Life cycle showing gametic meiosis

  4. Both B and C
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Protists exhibit diverse life cycles, including both zygotic meiosis (common in many algae and fungi-like protists) and gametic meiosis (common in many ciliates and animals).

Unicellular algae, diatoms and protozoans are members of

  1. Monera

  2. Protista

  3. Fungi

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

Kingdom Protista includes diverse eukaryotic organisms that are primarily unicellular, such as diatoms, protozoans, and unicellular algae. Monera consists of prokaryotes, while Fungi and Plantae are generally multicellular (with exceptions like yeast).

Unicellularity is the characteristic of

  1. Cyanobacteria

  2. Monera

  3. Protista

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Unicellularity is a fundamental characteristic of organisms in Kingdom Monera (bacteria) and Kingdom Protista. Cyanobacteria are a phylum within the Kingdom Monera, so all listed groups exhibit unicellularity.

Which of the following is not a character of protista

  1. Membrane bound organelles are present in the cell

  2. Protists are prokaryotic

  3. Mode of nutrition is both autotrophic and heterotrophic

  4. Body organisation is cellular

  5. Some protists have cell walls
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Protists are eukaryotic organisms, meaning they possess membrane-bound organelles and a defined nucleus. The statement that they are prokaryotic is incorrect, as prokaryotes belong to the Kingdom Monera.
