- Question
Which one of the following organisms is dependent on saprophytic mode of nutrition?
Options- A. Agaricus
- B. Ulothrix
- C. Riccia
- D. Cladophora
- Correct Answer
- Agaricus
ExplanationSaprophytic fungi feed on dead plant and animal remains. Many are extremely beneficial, breaking down this organic material into humus, minerals and nutrients that can be utilised by plants. Agaricus is one among them.

Correct Answer: Lateral meristem
Explanation:
In vascular plants, the lateral meristem is one of two meristems in which growth occurs in order to increase stem girth. A meristem is the region of plant tissue found on the tips of roots and shoots. It is where cell division occurs to produce new growth.
Correct Answer: Synthesis of protein
Explanation:
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulumdoes not contain ribosomes on its surface for which it is regarded as smooth. So, proteins cannotbe synthesised by SER provided protein synthesis is the primary task of ribosomes.
Correct Answer: Two neurons
Correct Answer: 1, 2 and 3
Explanation:
Enzymes are biological catalysts. Enzymes are the catalysts involved in biological chemical reactions.
A fundamental task of proteins is to act as enzymes?catalysts that increase the rate of virtually all the chemical reactions within cells.
A catalyst remains chemically unchanged itself at the end of a reaction.
Each enzyme has a temperature that it works optimally in, which in humans is around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, 37 degrees Celsius ?the normal body temperature for humans.
Correct Answer: 2 and 3 only
Explanation:
The absence of a nucleus is an adaptation of the red blood cell for its role. It allows the red bloodcell to contain more haemoglobin and, therefore, carry more oxygen moleculesLike red cells, platelets (thrombocytes) have no nucleus.Monocytes have a small spherical nucleus and has abundant dark staining condensed chromatin.There are 5 organelles found in a root hair cell. They are the: nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell wall and vacuole.
Correct Answer: Asterias
Explanation:
Asterias has bilateral symmetry only at larval stagebut fivefold symmetry (pentamerism, a special type of radial symmetry) as adults.
Nereis do not possess any symmetry elements in their body organisation.
Correct Answer: Haemoglobin of RBC can carry both oxygen and carbon dioxide
Explanation:
During respiration, about 97% of oxygen is transported by Red Blood Cells in blood and the remaining 3% gets dissolved in the plasma.Around 20-25% of carbon dioxide is carried by haemoglobin as carbamino-haemoglobin.
Oxygen enters the blood from the lungs and carbon dioxide is expelled out of the blood into the lungs. The blood serves to transport both gases. Oxygen is carried to the cells. Carbon dioxide is carried away from the cells.
Correct Answer: Urea is produced in liver
Explanation:
Urea is produced in the liver and is a metabolite (breakdown product) of amino acids. Ammonium ions are formed in the breakdown of amino acids. Some are used in the biosynthesis of nitrogen compounds. Excess ammonium ions are converted to urea.
Correct Answer: Black Fever
Correct Answer: Both xylem and phloem
