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

Bacillus subtilis are

  1. Hay bacteria

  2. Nitrifying bacteria

  3. Ammonifying bacteria

  4. Intestinal bacteria

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Bacillus subtilis are also called as hay bacillus. They are gram-positive bacteria. They are commonly found in hay or upper layer of soil. Hence, they are called as hay bacteria. They are also found in the GI tract of ruminants and humans. They are obligate aerobes. 

Thus, the correct answer is 'Hay bacteria.'

Prokaryotic algae are

  1. Phycomyceae

  2. Myxophyceae

  3. Cyanobacteria

  4. Both B and C

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Myxophyceae is the other name for blue green algae or Cyanobacteria. It is a prokaryotic unicellular organism. It lacks membrane bound organelles like mitochondria, golgi complex. It also lacks true nucleus. Incipient nucleus or nucleoid is present in it. Incipient nucleus is a genetic material without nuclear envelope.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Both B and C.'

Cyanophyceae (Blue Green Algae) belongs to

  1. Plantae

  2. Protista

  3. Monera

  4. Metaphyta

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Monera kingdom includes prokaryotic unicellular organisms. They lack membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria, Golgi complex. They also lack a true nucleus. Instead, they have nucleoid, genetic material without a nuclear envelope. Examples include bacteria, Cyanophyceae (Blue-Green algae).

Thus, the correct answer is 'Monera.'

Peptidoglycan is characteristic constituent of cell wall in

  1. Archaebacteria and Eukaryotes

  2. Eubacteria and unicellular Eukaryotes

  3. Bacteria and Cyanobacteria

  4. Monera and Protista

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Bacteria and cyanobacteria both are prokaryotic organisms. They share many similarities. They both lack true cell organelles. They both posses nucleoid instead of a true nucleus. Peptidoglycan is the characteristic constituent of a cell wall in both bacteria and cyanobacteria. They both posses saprophytic mode of life. They both are similar in cell division as well. 

Thus, the correct answer is 'Bacteria and Cyanobacteria.'

Multiple choice biology biodiversity and classification monera five kingdoms of living organisms biodiversity and need of classification

Kingdom monera includes

  1. Bacteria

  2. Nitrogen fixing organisms

  3. Cyanophyceae

  4. All of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Monera is non-nucleated unicellular organisms. They are prokaryotes. They have a cell wall. They have no membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, Golgi complex. They lack a true nucleus. Instead, they have nucleoid, genetic material without a nuclear membrane. Examples include Bacteria, cyanophyceae (Blue-Green algae), Nitrogen-fixing organisms etc.

Thus, the correct answer is 'All of the above.'

Multiple choice biology biodiversity and classification monera five kingdoms of living organisms biodiversity and need of classification

Kingdom monera includes

  1. Prokaryotes only

  2. Eukaryotes only

  3. Both A and B

  4. Mesocaryotes only

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Kingdom Monera includes prokaryotic organisms only. They are unicellular organisms. They are made up of single cell bound by plasma membrane and lack membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria, Golgi bodies. They lack a true nucleus as well. Instead, they possess genetic material without nuclear envelope called as the nucleoid. They also contain ribosomes in the cytoplasm. The example includes bacteria, Blue-green algae.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Prokaryotes only.'

Spirulina belongs to the kingdom

  1. Monera

  2. Protista

  3. Plantae

  4. Fungi

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Kingdom Monera includes prokaryotic unicellular microorganisms. They lack membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria, golgi complex. They also lack true nucleus. Instead, they have nucleoid, a genetic material without nuclear envelope. They have cell wall. Examples include bacteria, Cyanobacteria like Spirulina

Thus, the correct answer is 'Monera.'
