The correct match [with respect to Whittaker’s Five Kingdom classification] is:
| 1. | Monera | All members have a cell wall |
| 2. | Protista | All members are photosynthetic |
| 3. | Fungi | All members are multi-cellular |
| 4. | Animalia | All members are heterotrophs |
The diagram shows the presence of a pathogen amongst RBCs in the peripheral blood smear of a patient. Even though the shape is very easy to identify, the structure highlighted in the circle should enable you to identify the pathogen easily. It is:
| 1. | Trypanosoma | 2. | Plasmodium |
| 3. | Schistosoma | 4. | Clonorchis |
| (i) | Body organization of fungi is multicellular/loose tissue type. |
| (ii) | Mode of nutrition in monerans is autotrophic or heterotrophic. |
| (iii) | Nuclear membrane may be present in E.coli. |
| (iv) | Cell wall is cellulosic in Euglena. |
| (v) | Non-cellulosic cell wall is present in fungi. |
| i. | It is placed together organisms which widely differed in other characters. |
| ii. | It brought together the prokaryotic bacteria and blue green algae with other groups which were eukaryotic. |
| iii. | It grouped together the unicellular and multicellular organisms. |
| iv. | It did not distinguish between heterotrophic and autotrophic organisms. |
| v. | It had kingdoms Plantae and Animalia. |
| I: | In diatoms, the cell walls form two thin overlapping shells which fit together as in a soap box |
| II: | The walls are embedded with silica and thus are indestructible |
| III: | The fossilized diatoms are called diatomaceous earth |
| IV: | Diatoms are not the main producers in the oceans |
| V: | Diatomaceous earth is used in polishing, filtration of oil and syrups |
