Identify the incorrect statement regarding viroids:
1. Viroids are the smallest infectious pathogens known.
2. They are composed solely of a short strand of circular, single-stranded RNA that has no protein coating.

Bacteria that obtain energy from light and carbon from the fixation of carbon dioxide, using reducing equivalents from inorganic compounds are called as:
1. | chemolithoautotrophs | 2. | photolithoautotrophs |
3. | photoorganoheterotrophs | 4. | chemolithoheterotrophs |
Identify the incorrect statement regarding Euglena:
1. Euglena's chloroplasts are surrounded by three membranes and contain pyrenoids
2. Euglena has two flagella rooted in basal bodies, one flagellum is very short, and does not protrude from the cell, while the other is relatively long
3. A photosensitive red spot is present towards the anterior end
4. When feeding as a heterotroph, Euglena takes in nutrients by osmotrophy
If you are told that the given diagram shows a single ‘super cell’ that can ‘move’, you would conclude that this must be:
1. A plasmodial slime mould
2. A pathogenic fungus
3. A coenobium of an alga
4. A bioluminescent dinoflagellate
Identify the organism shown in the figure and the function of the structures shown by arrow:
1. Paramoecium, trophic functions
2. Euglena, sexual reproduction
3. Paramoecium, osmoregulation
4. Euglena, photoreception
The given diagram shows the formation of:
1. Conidia on sporangiophores
2. Ascospores on asci
3. Basidiospores on a basidium
4. Conidia on conidiophores
The fruiting body of a fungus contains many structures with eight haploid spores lined up in a row. This fungus belongs to the class:
1. | phycomycete | 2. | ascomycete |
3. | deuteromycete | 4. | basidiomycete |
In an individual basidiomycete fungus, the size of the following [largest to smallest] will be:
a. | basidiocarp | b. | basidium |
c. | basidiospore | d. | mycelium |
e. | gill |
1. | d, e, a, b, c | 2. | e, a, d, b, c |
3. | e, a, d, c, b | 4. | d, a, e, b, c |
