Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion is followed by a statement of


reason.
Mark the correct choice as:
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
(c) If Assertion is true but Reason is false.
(d) If both Assertion and Reason are false.
11. Assertion: Metabolism refers to the sum of chemical reactions that occur within living
organisms.Reason: Metabolic reactions occur simultaneously inside living organisms.
12. Assertion: Reproduction cannot be referred as defining property of living organism.
Reason: There are some living organism that do not reproduce e.g. mules, worker bees, infertile
human, etc.
13. Assertion: In fungi, vegetative reproduction occurs by fragmentation and budding.
Reason: Asexual reproduction in fungi, occurs through formation of asexual
spores.
14. Name the protein which is present in the bacterial flagella.
15. Explain the utility of systematics for classification.
16. Define a taxon. What is meant by taxonomic hierarchy? Give a flow diagram from the lowest to
highest category for a plant and an animal. What happens to the number of individuals and number
of shared characters as we go up the taxonomical hierarchy?
17. Polluted water bodies have usually very high abundance of plants like Nostoc and
Oscillitoria. Give reasons.
18. Give suitable examples of the following:
(a) A free living nitrogen fixing bacteria.
(b) A non - toxic fast growing cyanobacteria used to obtain single cell protein (SCP).
(c) A cyanobacteria used in the reclamation of ‘usar land’ (sterile alkaline soil).
(d) A microorganism causes mosaic disease of Tobacco plant.
19. Diatoms are also called as ‘pearls of ocean’. Why? What is diatomaceous earth?
20. A virus is considered as a living organism and an obligate parasite when inside a host cell. But virus
is not classified along with bacteria or fungi.
What are the characters of virus that are similar to non - living objects?
