Viruses have their own peculiarities. They are a group of very simple and very small organisms, which consists of a strand of nucleic acid surrounded by a coat of protein. All are now known as parasites, which are capable of reproducing in the living cells of host animal, plant, or microorganism. They cannot be cultivated on artificial media as many bacteria can. These peculiarities, together with the production of crystal like forms, are unusual in living organisms and have led some investigators to regard viruses as lying athwart the line dividing the inanimate from the animate. 1.  Which entity grows only in a living tissue, and is too small to be seen by ordinary light microscopes, and is the cause of several diseases? a. Bacterium b. Virus c. Fungi d. All of the above Please provide appropriate updations Ques Which entity grows only in a living tissue, and is too small to be seen by ordinary light microscopes, and is the cause of several diseases? a. b. c. d.

This would be true for animal hormones but plant hormones are often produced in the structure or tissue in which they act. Plants do not have a circulatory system and "action at a distance" may not be a feature of plant hormones. Plant hormones seem to coordinate growth and development in different parts of the plant, and help the plant respond to environmental signals. They are molecules that are not directly involved in metabolic or developmental processes but they act at low concentrations to modify those processes. There are five generally recognized classes of plant hormone. They are auxins, cytokinins, ethylene, abscisic acid and gibberlins. Some of the classes are represented by only one compound, others by several different compounds. They are all organic compounds, they may resemble molecules which turn up elsewhere in plant structure or function, but they are not directly involved as nutrients or metabolites. 6.  Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is  which type of plant hormone? a. Auxins b. Cytokinins c. Gibberlins d. Abscisic acid Please provide appropriate updations Ques Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) iswhich type of plant hormone? a. b. c. d. Please describe the changes made by you   This Question is based on the following passage:   The three major functions that are basic to plant growth and development are: Photosynthesis – the process of capturing light energy and converting it to sugar energy, in the presence of chlorophyll using CO2 and H2O,Respiration – the process of metabolizing (burning) sugars to yield energy for growth, reproduction and other life processes, and Transpiration – the loss of water vapor through the stomata of leaves. Photosynthesis and respiration are complementary processes in the living world. Photosynthesis uses the energy of sunlight to produce sugars and other organic molecules. These molecules in turn serve as food for other organisms. Many of these organisms carry out respiration, a process that uses O2 to form CO2 from the same carbon atoms that had been taken up as CO2 and converted into sugars by photosynthesis. In the process, the organisms that respire obtain the chemical bond energy that they need to survive. 7.  What are the basic functions for growth and development in plants? a. Photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration b. Photosynthesis, transpiration, electrolysis c. Respiration, photosynthesis and capturing light d.

Protein molecules are essential to us in variety of different ways. Much of the fabric of our body is constructed from protein molecules. Muscle, cartilage, ligaments, skin and hair - these are all mainly protein materials. The protein in the food we eat is our main source of the chemical building blocks we need to build our own protein molecules. The primary structure of a segment of a polypeptide chain or of a protein is the amino-acid sequence of the polypeptide chain(s), without regard to spatial arrangement (apart from configuration at the alpha-carbon atom). The sequence and properties of side chains determine all that is unique about a particular protein, including its biological function and its specific three-dimensional structure. 9.  The commonest form of carbohydrate found in fruits is ___________. a. Glucose b. Sucrose c. Lactose d. Fructose Please provide appropriate updations Ques The commonest form of carbohydrate found in fruits is ___________. a. b. c. d. Please describe the changes made by you   This Question is based on the following passage:   Hardy Weinberg equilibrium- Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium describes a state in which genotype frequencies are constant from generation to generation and in which genotype frequencies are a product of allele frequencies. This condition prevails in situations in which there are an absence of mutations, migrations, non-random mating and environmental factors favoring particular genotypes. In a paper published in 1908, G. H. Hardy sought to disprove the Mendelian idea that dominant genetic characteristics would tend to appear in the whole population, while recessive characteristics would tend to disappear. A population is a set of interbreeding individuals all belonging to the same species. In most sexually reproducing species, including humans, each organism contains two copies of virtually every gene—one inherited from each parent. Any particular gene may occur in slightly different forms, called alleles. An organism with two identical alleles is called homozygous for that gene, and one with two different alleles is called heterozygous. During the formation of gametes, the two alleles separate into different gametes. 10.  What is a set of interbreeding individuals all belonging to the same species called? a. Pollution b.
