Mention whether the following statement is true or false:
Animals show movement while the plants do not

biology plant taxonomy classification of kingdom plantae features of plant and animal kingdom plant classification

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Plants are sedentary organisms, where as animals show movement due to the presence of locomotory organs.

So, the statement is ‘True’.

Which of the following is the characteristics of plants?

biology plant taxonomy classification of kingdom plantae features of plant and animal kingdom plant classification

  1. Multicellular with specialised tissues and organs

  2. Photosynthetic and contain chlorophylls a and b

  3. Protect developing embryo from desiccation

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Plants are green nonmotile stationery living beings that grow in the soil. These are multicellular and has specialized tissues and organ to perform the various function of the plant body. They helps to prepare their food by photosynthesis with the help of pigments chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b.

Desiccation is the drying of the cell and the specialized tissue of plants protect the developing embryo from desiccation.
So, the correct option is 'all of the above'.

Which of the following statements are correct?

biology plant taxonomy classification of kingdom plantae features of plant and animal kingdom plant classification

  1. Fungi possess tissues

  2. Animals possess tissues

  3. Plantae possess tissues

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Organisms of kingdom fungi have multicellular or loose tissue. In organisms of kingdom Plantae, the body organisation is tissue or organ grade whereas body organisation in kingdom Animalia is tissue or organ or organ system. In unicellular organisms, all functions like digestion, respiration and reproduction are performed by a single cell. In the complex body of multicellular animals, the same basic functions are carried out by different groups of cells in a well-organised manner. The body of a simple organism like Hydra is made of different types of cells and the number of cells in each type can be in thousands. The human body is composed of billions of cells to perform various functions. In multicellular organisms of fungi, plant and animal kingdoms, a group of similar cells perform a specific function. Such an organisation is called tissue.
