D

2.

The part labelled II is responsible for

A. photosynthesis

B. respiration

C. protein synthesis

D. excretion

B

3.

The rods in the retina of the eyes are examples of

A. cells

B. tissues

C. organs

D. systems

A

4.

The absence of special food and water-conducting systems restricts the body size in

A. algae, liverworts and mosses

B. liverworts, mosses and ferns

C. the bryophytes and the pteridophytes

D. the thallophytes and pteridophytes

A

5.

A plant-like feature in Euglena is the

A. pellicle

B. pigment spot

C. large spot

D. gullet

B

6.

The most common characteristic of the fungal hyphae is the possession of

A. cell-like compartment with one nucleus each

B. cell walls that are both rigid and chitinous

C. a multicellular mycelium in the substrate

D. cell-like partitions formed by cross-walls

Detailed Solution

Fungal Hyphae Cells 1- Hyphal wall 2- Septum 3- Mitochondrion 4- Vacuole 5- Ergosterol crystal 6- Ribosome 7- Nucleus 8- Endoplasmic reticulum 9- Lipid body 10- Plasma membrane 11- Spitzenkorper 12- Golgi apparatus
- A hypha has cross-walls which divide it into cell-like compartments that contain several nuclei
NB: A rigid cell wall is not present in slime moulds.
7.

Insects are considered the most successful among the invertebrates because they?

A. possess exoskeletons

B. survive in various environmental conditions

C. have wings for flight

D. possess the ability to change their forms

Detailed Solution

It is believed that insects are so successful because they have a protective shell or exoskeleton.
8.

The larval stage of a mosquito is called

A. wriggler

B. grub

C. maggot

D. caterpillar

A

9.

The function of the long-winged reproductives of the termites colony is to

B. feed the young

C. participate in swarming

D. protect the young

A

10.

A peculiar characteristics of mammals is that they

A. have teeth

B. are warm-blooded

C. have lungs

D. have sabaceous glands
