| 1. | Presence of r-phycoerythrin |
| 2. | Found only near the surface of water bodies, never deep. |
| 3. | Absence of flagella |
| 4. | Floridean starch is the stored food. |
| 1. | Sphagnum has a high lignin content, making it resistant to decay and suitable for fuel. |
| 2. | Sphagnum can absorb and retain large amounts of water due to its unique cellular structure, making it ideal for packing living material. |
| 3. | Sphagnum contains silica deposits in its cell walls, which provide rigidity and durability. |
| 4. | Sphagnum releases antimicrobial compounds that prevent the growth of pathogens in packed materials. |
| 1. | Unlike bryophytes, pteridophytes have a dominant gametophyte phase, and unlike gymnosperms, they reproduce only through spores. |
| 2. | Unlike bryophytes, pteridophytes lack alternation of generations, and unlike gymnosperms, they possess multicellular sex organs. |
| 3. | Unlike bryophytes, pteridophytes lack roots, stems, and leaves, but unlike gymnosperms, they have chlorophyll a and b. |
| 4. | Unlike bryophytes, pteridophytes have vascular tissue, but unlike gymnosperms, they do not produce seeds. |
| Statement I: | Needle-like leaves in conifers help reduce water loss by minimizing surface area. |
| Statement II: | The thick cuticle and sunken stomata in gymnosperm leaves are adaptations to withstand extreme temperatures and water scarcity. |
| 1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct |
| 2. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect |
| 3. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct |
| 4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect |
| 1. | Development of vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) |
| 2. | Presence of motile sperm for fertilization |
| 3. | Dominant gametophytic generation |
| 4. | Reproduction by vegetative propagation only |
| 1. | It is diploid and dependent on the sporophyte. |
| 2. | It produces spores for asexual reproduction. |
| 3. | It is haploid and independent, serving as the dominant phase of the life cycle. |
| 4. | It has vascular tissues for water and nutrient transport. |
