Q2. Assertion and Reason type questions. (1x4)
Answer codes:
(a) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
(b) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

(d) Both (A) and (R) are false
1. Assertion (A): In two kingdom classification, the fungi were treated as plants.
Reason (R): Like multicellular plants, fungi also rely on cell wall for their mechanical support.
2. Assertion (A): Viruses are acellular pathogens that replicate only in host cells.
Reason (R): They produce interferons which inhibit metabolic pathway of host cells.
3. Assertion (A): Living organisms are regarded as closed systems.
Reason (R): Energy of living organisms cannot be lost or gained from the environment.
4. Assertion (A): The conventional segregation of zoology and botany is intellectually
meaningless.
Reason (R): All living things should be studied in an integrated way as biology
Q3. Very short answer type questions (2x3)

1. What is the meaning of the term nomenclature in taxonomy?
2. Name the cellular organisation present in fungi?
3. Name a typical photosynthetic protist.
Q4. Short answer type questions (3x3)

1. There is a myth that immediately after heavy rains in forest, mushrooms appear in large
number and make a very large ring or circle, which may be several metres in diameter.
These are called as 'Fairy rings'. Can you explain this myth of fairy rings in biological
terms?
2. What are the features of a typical protist? Why are protist so difficult to classify?
3. Give three examples of photoautotrophic and chemoautotrophic bacteria?
Q5. Case based type question (4x1)
The members of kingdom - Fungi are eukaryotic, heterotrophic and achlorophyllous. They
are either unicellular or multicellular forms that are made up of hyphae. The network of
hyphae forms the mycelium. These cell wall exhibiting organisms reproduce by both sexual
and asexual modes. On the basis of spore formation, fungi are classified as Phycomycetes,
Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes and Deuteromycetes. Based on the mode of nutrition, fungi are
classified as saprophytic and parasitic forms. These are also found in symbiotic association
with plants.
(i) Fungal cell wall is composed of

(a) cellulose and pectins
(b) chitin and glycoproteins
(c) chitin,glycoproteins and glucans
(d) pectins, chitin and cellulose
(ii) Club-fungi is
(a) Phycomycetes
(b) Deuteromycetes
(c) Basidiomycetes
(d) Ascomycetes
(iii) The spores that help fungi to undergo asexual reproduction during favourable conditions is
(a) zoospores (b) aplanospores
(c)conidia (d) All of these
(iv) Sexual reproduction in Ascomycetes occurs through
(a) somatogamy of zoospores
(b) isogamy of zoospores
(c) anisogamy of ascospores
(d) Both (b) and ( c)
Q6. Long answer type questions (5x2)
1. Would you classify a virus as living or nonliving? Explain.

2. Describe briefly different types of animal like protist?
