Section C

2/5
17. Mention any two cellular structures absent in Kingdom-Animalia of the four-kingdom classification system of [1]
organisms that are present in kingdom-Protista.
18. Why did two kingdom classification continue to be used for a long time? [1]
19. In which virus two single RNA strands are present? What is the role of reverse transcriptase? [2]
20. Fungi are cosmopolitan, write the role of fungi in your daily life. [2]
21. A virus is considered as a living organism and an obligate parasite when inside a host cell. But the virus is not [2]
classified along with bacteria or fungi. What are the characters of the virus that are similar to non-living objects?
22. Cynobacteria plays a major role in our ecology. Discuss. [2]
23. The two kingdom classification system placed bacteria, algae, blue-green algae, fungi, mosses, ferns, [3]
gymnosperm, and angiosperms, together under one single kingdoms-Plantae. According to you, what could have
been the basis of such classification?
24. Enlist four distinguish features of Animalia. [3]
25. Define the term mycorrhiza. How are these associations affect a plant? Explain with examples. [3]
26. Give a brief account of reproduction in fungi. [3]
27. Explain the following in terms of mycorrhizal association. [5]
i. Growth promotion
ii. Antimicrobial substance
iii. Nourishment
iv. Adverse environment
v. Absorption of water
28. How do viruses resemble living and non-living things? [5]
Section D
29. Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow: [4]
Sarcodines are unicellular/jelly-like protozoa found in fresh or sea water and in moist soil. Their body lacks a
periplast. Therefore, they may be naked or covered by a calcareous shell. They usually lack flagella and have
temporary protoplasmic outgrowths called pseudopodia. These pseudopodia or false feet help in movement and
capturing prey. They include free-living forms such as Amoeba or parasitic forms such as Entamoeba. Zoo
flagellates ciliates and I sporozoans are other groups of protozoan protists. They are all unicellular and
heterotrophic. They may be holozoic, saprobic or parasitic.

i. Write two lines about flagellated protozoans and also mention some flagellated protozoans. (1)
ii. Observe the given protozoan classification and mention what is the basis of protozoan classification. (1)
iii. Mention some locomotory organs of protozoa. (2)
OR
Which protozoan group has two nuclei, macronucleus, and micronucleus? Mention characteristics of it. (2)
30. Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow: [4]
Linnaeus gave two kingdom classification/which consists of kingdom Plantae and kingdom Animalia. This
classification was based on the mode of nutrition/ reproduction/ presence or absence of cell wall. However, this

3/5
 system had many drawbacks like there was no distinction between eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Then, came the
three-kingdom classification in which single-celled bacteria and protozoans were kept in the kingdom Protista.
This system also failed to classify all living organisms into appropriate categories. Finally a five Kingdom
classification was proposed by dividing all the organisms into five kingdom and it will be accepted as modern
system of classification.

i. We know that Haeckel proposed the term Protista for unicellular organisms. Observe the given flowchart and
mention what are advantages does the five-kingdom classification have over the two-kingdom classification?
(1)
ii. All eukaryotic unicellular organisms belong to which kingdom? Also, mention its two characteristics. (1)
iii. What is heterotropic? Is Euglena heterotropic? (2)
OR
Who proposed the five-kingdom classification? And which criteria were used to classify organism in the 5-
kingdom system? (2)
31. Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow: [4]
R.H. Whittaker proposed a Five Kingdom Classification. The kingdoms defined by him were named Monera,
Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. The main criteria for classification used by him include cell structure,
body organisation, mode of nutrition, reproduction and phylogenetic relationships. The three-domain system has
also been proposed that divides the Kingdom Monera into two domains, leaving the remaining eukaryotic
kingdoms in the third domain and there by a six kingdom classification. Earlier classification systems included
bacteria, blue-green algae, fungi, mosses, ferns, gymnosperms and the angiosperms under 'Plants'. The character
that unified this whole kingdom was that all the organisms included had a cell wall in their cells.
