Questions Related to bacteria; benefits and harmful effects

Hens egg is

  1. An organ

  2. A single cell

  3. A tissue

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Hens egg is a single cell structure inside the shell before the fertilization that can be seen by naked eyes. But after fertilization, the cells fused and divide into two cells inside the shell.

Hence, option B is correct.

A bacteria attaches to the host cell with the help of bristle-like structure is called

  1. Pili

  2. Flagella

  3. Fimbriae

  4. Cell wall


Correct Option: A

Which one of the following is an example of unicellular organism?

  1. Paramecium

  2. Frog

  3. Snake

  4. Bird


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
The cell is the structural unit of life. Unicellular organisms are made up of one cell that performs all the functions. Example of unicellular organisms are bacteria, yeast, protozoa. Paramecium belongs to protozoa. Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Which one of the following is the example of unicellular organism?

  1. Snake

  2. Yeast

  3. Bird

  4. Shark


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The cell is the structural unit of life. Unicellular organisms are made up of one cell that performs all the functions, unlike a multicellular organism that consists of multiple cells e.g., yeast, bacteria. Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Amoeba is said to be a ...........organism. 

  1. Organized

  2. Multi-cellular

  3. Unicellular

  4. Well defined


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Amoeba is a unicellular eukaryote. It is made up of a single cell which carries out all functions like movement, respiration, excretion etc. 
Therefore the correct answer is option C.

True nucleus is absent in

  1. Green algae

  2. Fungi

  3. Lichens

  4. Bacteria


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Bacteria are prokaryotes grouped in Kingdom Monera. Prokaryotes have a pro or primitive karyon. Thus the true nucleus is absent in bacteria. The chromosome, a single, continuous strand of DNA, is localized, but not contained, in a region of the cell called the nucleoid. All the other cellular components are scattered throughout the cytoplasm.

Bacteria are made up of

  1. Nucleic acid

  2. Only proteins

  3. Nucleic acid and Proteins

  4. Nucleosides

  5. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Nucleic acids constitute the genetic material and help in cellular expressions in bacteria, while proteins are important for constitutive activities in the bacterial cells. 15% of bacterial cell is protein, while 7% nucleic acids (DNA and RNA).
So answer is -'nucleic acid and proteins'.

A unicellular organism has

  1. just one cell

  2. many cells

  3. few cells

  4. no cells


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An organism made of just one cell is called an unicellular organism. Bacteria, Amoeba,  Paramoecium and Euglena are some examples of unicellular organisms.

Which of the following is the location of mucilage capsule present in bacteria which serves as an extra covering?

  1. Outside the cell membrane

  2. Inside the cell membrane

  3. Outside the cell wall

  4. Inside the cell wall


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The mucilage capsule present in bacteria serving as an extra covering is present outside the cell because it is a temporary layer surrounding the cell wall and protects the bacteria from antibiotics and dessication.

So, the correct option is C.

Lifecycle of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is 

  1. haplontic type

  2. diplontic type

  3. haplo diplobiontic type

  4. none of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
This type of life cycle is represented by haploid and diploid phases, of more or less equal duration, found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The haploid cells of opposite mating type normally multiply by budding. Two such cells of opposite mating behave as gametangia and undergo fusion initially only plasmogamy takes place, wherein the nuclei exist separately also called the dikaryotic phase. Later on the nuclei undergo fusion in specialized sac like structures called the ascus to form a diploid zygote, which undergoes meiosis to release the haploid ascospores.
So, the correct answer is 'haplodiplobiontic type'
