The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding where heterocysts are found, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Heterocysts**: - Heterocysts are specialized cells found in certain types of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). Their primary function is to fix atmospheric nitrogen, which is essential for plant growth. 2. **Identifying the Organisms Listed**: - The question provides a list of organisms: Cycas, Pinus, Coralloid root, Vivipary, Anabaena, Nostoc, Marsilea, Usnea, Oscillatoria, Pneumatophore, and Eichhornia. 3. **Recognizing Nitrogen-Fixing Organisms**: - Among the listed organisms, we need to identify which ones are known for nitrogen fixation. Anabaena and Nostoc are both cyanobacteria known for this ability. 4. **Determining the Presence of Heterocysts**: - Heterocysts are specifically found in some cyanobacteria. Anabaena and Nostoc are both capable of forming heterocysts, but we need to identify the correct answer from the options provided. 5. **Selecting the Correct Answer**: - From the list, Nostoc is a well-known cyanobacterium that contains heterocysts. Therefore, the correct answer to the question "Heterocyst is found in ………………. ." is Nostoc. ### Final Answer: Heterocyst is found in **Nostoc**. ---
