Make corrections wherever you find mistake in spellings/words in the following paragraph/sentences. (A) Protozoans are generally multinucleate, but all ciliates and many amoeboid types are uninucleate. (B) Contractile vacuoles are found in almost all terrestrial protozoans for maitenance of carbon concentration of cell body, the phenomenon is known as osmoregulation. Contractile vacuole also helps in reproduction. (C) The protozoan cell body is either naked or surrounded by a rigid pellicle. Cellulose is present in pellicle. Some protozoans secrete shells of various organic compounds as external covers. (D) Ascomycetes are coenocytic as well as multicellular fungi. In the later, mycelium is asceptate. The asexual spores are formed in chains are called zoospores. The spores are formed endogenously, i.e., inside sporangium. (E) Sexual reproduction in Rhizopus is oogamous and the mode of sexual fusion is gametangial contact type. (F) A lichen is structurally organised entity consisting of the permanent association of a fungus and an alga. The fungal component of a lichen is called phycobiont and the algal component is called mycobiont. Both mycobiont and phycobiont are associated in parasitic union in which the fungus is more predominant and alga is subordinate partner.

Which of the following statement/s is/are wrong? I. Drug can be used for generation of biogas, commonly called gobar gas. II. Biofertilisers are organisms that enrich the nutrient quality of the soil. III. Cyanobacteria are heterotrophic microbes widely distributed in aquatic and terrestrial environments. IV. Many members of the genus Glomus form mycorrhiza. V. Biogas produced by microbes is used as a source of energy in urban areas.

Read the given statements about lichens and select the incorrect ones. (i) They represent an example of commensallism. (ii) Algal partner obtains water and mineral salts from the fungus and the fungal partner obtains food prepared by the aiga. (iii) These do not grow in polluted areas. (iv) The mycobiont is usually an Ascomycetes or a Basididiomycetes. (v) The phycobiont is mostly a green alga or a cyanobacterium. (vi) These constitute the pioneer community in case of hydrosere.

Which of the following statements are correct regarding Deuteromycetes? I. Deuteromycetes are called perfect fungi. II. Members of Deutermycetes mycetes were often moved to ascomycetes or basidiomycetes once their sexual stages were studied. III. Large number of (No Suggestions) are decomposers that help in nutrient cycling. IV. Their mycelium is aseptate and unbranched.

Which of the following statements regarding eutrophication are correct ? (i) Eutrophication is the natural ageing of a lake by nutrient enrichment of its water. (ii) Pollutants from human activities like effluents from the industries and homes can radically accelerate the aging process of a lake. This phenomenon is called as cultural or accelerated eutrophication. (iii) The plant nutrients responsible for eutrophication are nitrates and phosphates. (iv) These phosphates and nitrates accelerate the growth of algae, which utilise oxygen and may deoxygenate the water to kill the fish and other aquatic animals.

Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. Certain words are printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of these. Renewable Energy (RE) is the future. With that said, one can argue that the future has arrived, in parts at least. Worldwide acceptance towards green energy is giving the sustainable energy sector more market share every year. The growth is consistent, with each year out-performing the previous, leading renewable energy to account for 1/3rd of global energy capacity. It’s fair to state that the growth trajectory is incredible, and considering that it took only a little more than a just decade to reach this position, we could call it _____________. However, the most important question is, is this satisfactory? The goal of green energy transition is to solve growing energy scarcity and reduce dependency on fossil fuels in order to move towards a fully sustainable energy landscape. Therefore, to identify success, we need to compare renewable energy growth with the current scenario. According to WHO’s estimates, currently, more than 7 million people die every year from pollution, up from 4.2 million in 2016. Fossil fuel consumption has increased globally from 94,462/twh in 2000 to 1,33,853/twh now. The rise in population (currently 7.7 billion) indicates a steady growth in energy demand worldwide. In comparison, the fact that renewable energy took a decade to become 1/3 of energy capacity is not the ideal pace, considering we might not have two more decades to wait for RE to catch up. Which of the following statement (s) if true, will support the author’s claim that the rate of growth in Renewable Energy is not satisfactory? I. The use of fossil fuels to satisfy energy needs continues to be a popular choice. II. The issue of energy scarcity is being addressed by the use of RE in a more appropriate manner. III. Government and private organisations are working together to develop technology which operates on RE.
