  1. Mushroom, Green plants, Amoeba

  2. Yeast, Mushroom, Bread mould

  3. Paramecium, Amoeba, Cuscuta

  4. Cuscuta, Lice, Tapeworm

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The green plant is photoautotrophs that synthesise food material from simple inorganic compounds like water and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight. 
Nutrition in Amoeba and Paramecium is holozoic. Thus, solid food particles are ingested which are then acted upon by enzymes and digested. Cuscuta, lice, and tapeworm are parasites with the heterotrophic nutritional mode. Yeast, mushroom and bread mould have a saprophytic mode of nutrition which is chemoheterotrophic in nature. They break down complex organic substances by secreting digestive enzymes outside their body and absorb simple molecules as nutrients. So, the correct answer is option B.  

Which one of the following has the smallest number of chromosomes?

  1. Onion

  2. Mouse

  3. Monkey

  4. Ascaris

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A species has a specific number of chromosomes and onion has only 16  chromosomes which are the least number among given options so the answer is option A, Onion.

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.

  1. Rafflesia

  2. viscum

  3. Loranthus

  4. Neottia

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Rafflesia is the largest flower that is found on the earth. It is an angiosperm and is an obligate root parasite. An obligate root parasite is the one that cannot complete its life cycle without the presence of a host and derive the nutrition from the host entirely.

So, the correct option is 'Rafflesia'
