Alga Acetobularia is

  1. Unicellular prokaryote.

  2. Multicellular prokaryote.

  3. Unicellular eukaryote.

  4. Multicellular eukaryote.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Acetabularia is a single-celled green photosynthetic algae which contain chloroplasts of the photosynthetic function. Being unicellular it has a complex shape and has been a model organism for the study of gene expression with morphogenesis. It has a large nucleus which contains a genetic material. Because of the presence of nucleus which is absent in prokaryote, these algae is classified in eukaryotes. hence algae Acetabularia is a unicellular eukaryote.

$NH _3$ in amoeba is excreted through

  1. Food vacuole.

  2. Contractile vacuole.

  3. Plasma membrane.

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

Amoeba is a unicellular organism. The main waste material in amoeba ammonia (NH$ _3$) along with carbon dioxide (CO$ _2$). The waste material is excreted through body surface (plasmalema) by the process of diffusion. In this process, contractile vacuoles play important role.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Entamoeba histolytica is transmitted through

  1. Insect bite

  2. Bird dropping

  3. Improperly cooked pork meat

  4. Food or water contaminated with cysts
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan protist. It is pathogenic in nature. It resides in the upper part of the human large intestine and causes the disease known as amoebic dysentery or amoebiasis. The symptoms of the disease are abdominal pain, repeated motions with blood and mucus. Entamoeba histolytica is transmitted through food or water contaminated with cysts. A mature cyst is called quadri-nucleate cyst. It has four nuclei and two chromatid bodies. Quadrinucleate cyst is the infective stage.

How many young Amoebae hatch out from a cyst of E. histolytica?

  1. One

  2. Two

  3. Four

  4. Six
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan protist. It is pathogenic in nature. The type of nutrition present in Entamoeba is parasitic. The parasite is generally with one pseudopodium. The contractile vacuole is absent as there is no need of osmoregulation. It feeds on red blood corpuscles by damaging the wall of the large intestine and reaching the blood capillaries. It produces ulcers. It resides in the upper part of the human large intestine and causes the disease known as amoebic dysentery or amoebiasis. Entamoeba histolytica is transmitted through food or water contaminated with cysts. A mature cyst is called quadri-nucleate cyst. It has four nuclei and two chromatid bodies. Quadrinucleate cyst is the infective stage. Only one young Amoeba with four nuclei hatches out from a cyst of Entamoeba histolytica. However, single cyst of Entamoeba histolytica produces eight Amoebae.

Which one of the following is the basis of biological control of crown gall?

  1. Agro bacterium radiocasted strains contain a plasmid which directs the synthesis of bactenocin

  2. The Ti(tumour inducing) plasmid in Agro bacterium tumefactions is integrated with host plant DNA and is transcribed into mRNA

  3. The cloning strategy leading to a composite(chimeric) plasmid harbouring two or more genes that code for distinct bacteriocins against phytopathogenic bacteria

  4. Agrobacterium radiobacter plasmid interferes with the production of auxin by a tumefaction
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Agrobacterium radiobacter strain K84 is used for the biological control of crown gall disease. It produces a bacteriocin called agrocin 84, which inhibits the growth of pathogenic Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

Yeast die when alcohol concentration reaches about $13$%, still yeast perform alcholic fermentation why?

  1. To obtain ATP
  2. Utilization of $O _{2}$
  3. For oxidation of $NADH _{2}$

  4. Obligate aerobic
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Yeast perform alcoholic fermentation primarily to regenerate NAD+ from NADH, which is essential for the continuation of glycolysis and the production of ATP under anaerobic conditions.
