\nAnswer:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Most of the euglenoids are Fresh Water organisms found in stagnant water.<\/li>\n
  2. They have a protein rich layer called pellicle which makes body flexible.<\/li>\n
  3. They have Two flagella, a short and a long one.<\/li>\n

    \"AP<\/p>\n

    Question 2.
    \nWhat are the advantages and disadvantages of Two kingdom classification?
    \nAnswer:
    \nAdvantages :<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The two kingdom classification received considerable recognition from biologists and was in use for quite a long period of time.<\/li>\n
    2. Classification of organisms into plants, animals was easily done and was easy to understand.<\/li>\n
    3. The character that unified this whole kingdom was that all organisms included had a cell wall in their cells.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Disavantages :
      \n1. There is no clear Cut distinction in the lower forms of life into plants and animals. Euglena for example is a unicellular organism having certain features of criminals and certain features of plants. If has a flagellum which is used for locomotion and food capturing. However it has chloroplasts like plant cells.<\/p>\n

      2. Chlomyclomonas is a unicellular algue. It is purely antotrophic but has 4 locomotor structures called flagella like protozoans.<\/p>\n

      3. The classification did not differentiate between the heterotrophic group, fungi and the autotrophic green plants through they also showed a characteristic difference in their wall composition. Hence two kingdom classification used for a lone time was found inadequate.<\/p>\n

      Question 3.
      \nGive the salient features and importance of chrysophytes. [A.P. Mar, 15, 13]
      \nAnswer:
      \nChrysophytes includes diatoms and golden algae (desmids). They are found in freshwater as well as in marine water.’Most of them are photosynthetic. In diatoms the cell wall form two thin overlapping shells, epitheca over hypotheca which fit together as soap box. The walls are embedded with silica and thus the walls are indestructible. Diatoms leave larger amount of cell wall deposits in their habitat, this accumulation is referred as diatomaceous earth or kieselghur. They reproduce a sexually by Binary fission and sexually by gametes.<\/p>\n

      Importance :<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. The diatomaceous soil is used in polishing, filtration of oils 8 syrups.<\/li>\n
      2. Diatoms are the chief “producers” in the oceans.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Question 4.
        \nGive a brief account of Dinoflagellates. [A.P. May, 18, Mar, 18] [T.S. Mar, 15]
        \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Dinoflagellates are mostly marine and photosynthetic.<\/li>\n
        2. The cell wall has stiff cellulose plates on the outer surface.<\/li>\n
        3. They have two flagella and produce spinning movements. So these protists are called “whirling whips”.<\/li>\n
        4. The nucleus has condensed chromosomes, which are without histones.<\/li>\n
        5. Some Dinoflagellates like Noctiluca show bioluminescence.<\/li>\n
        6. Red dinoflagellates like Gonyaulax undergo rapid multiplication and make the sea appear red
          \n(Redtides in Medeterranelian sea)<\/li>\n
        7. Toxins produced by them may kill fishes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                        \nGive a brief account of viruses with respect to their structure and nature of genetic material. Also name four common viral diseases.
                                        \nAnswer:
                                        \nViruses are made up of Nucleic acid and protein. The Nucleic acid could be either RNA or DNA. The protein part is called capsid which encloses the Nucleic acid. Tobacco Mosaic virus and Human Immuno Virus (HIV) contains RNA as genetic material. Bacteriophages, contain DNA as genetic material.<\/p>\n

                                          \nViruses are not truly ‘living’. They exist in crystal form outside the host. They are called obligate parasites.<\/p>\n

                                          \nCyanobacteria and heterotrophic bacteria have been clubbed together in Eubacteria of Kingdom Monera as per the five kingdom classification, even though the two are vastly different from each other. Is this grouping of the two types of taxa in the same kingdom justified? If so why?
                                          \nAnswer:
                                          \nGrouping of the two types of tax a in the same kingdom is justified because both organisms contain ‘nif’ genes and are involved in Nitrogen fixation.<\/p>\n
