The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding how saprophytic protists resemble fungi, we need to analyze each of the provided options based on the characteristics of saprophytic protists and fungi. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Saprophytic Protists**: - Saprophytic protists are organisms that obtain their nutrients by decomposing dead organic matter. They play a crucial role in nutrient cycling in ecosystems. 2. **Identifying Similarities with Fungi**: - Fungi are also saprophytic organisms that decompose organic matter. They share several characteristics with saprophytic protists. 3. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **N (Nutrition)**: Both saprophytic protists and fungi obtain their nutrition from dead organic matter. - **S (Spore Formation)**: Both groups reproduce by forming spores, which help in their dispersal and survival. - **C (Cell Wall Composition)**: Fungi have cell walls made of chitin, while protists may have different compositions. This is a point of difference. - **F (Fruiting Bodies)**: Fungi form fruiting bodies (like mushrooms) for reproduction, while saprophytic protists do not typically form such structures. - **P (Plasmodium Formation)**: Plasmodium formation is not a characteristic of saprophytic protists or fungi in general. 4. **Selecting the Correct Option**: - Based on the analysis, the similarities between saprophytic protists and fungi are in Nutrition (N), Spore formation (S), and Fruiting bodies (F). Therefore, the correct option is **NSF**. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **NSF** (Nutrition, Spore formation, Fruiting bodies).

When a particle is restricted to move along x-axis between x=0 and x=a , where alpha if of nenometer dimension, its energy can take only certain specific values. The allowed energies of the particle moving in such a restricted region, correspond to the formation of standing waves with nodes at its ends x=0 and x=a . The wavelength of this standing wave is related to the linear momentum p of the particle according to the de Broglie relation. The energy of the particle of mass m is related to its linear momentum as E=(p^2)/(2m) . Thus the energy of the particle can be denoted by a quantum number n taking values 1,2,3, ...( n=1 , called the ground state) corresponding to the number of loops in the standing wave. Use the model described above to answer the following three questions for a particle moving along the line from x=0 to x=alpha . Take h=6.6xx10^(-34)Js and e=1.6xx10^(-19) C. Q.

Zeolites are minerals of the composition M_((x/n)) [[AlO_2]_x (SiO_2)_y].ZH_2O Where 'n' is the charge on the metal cation. These structure contain various ring which results in formation of a fairly open structure containing channels and cavities at molecular level (2 to 11A) in diameter). They may be used to trap molecules of various sizes, this makes them very useful as "Selective absorbants" or as "molecular sieves". In the structure of zeolites: (A) Each Al atom is attached to 'p' oxygen atoms directly (B) Each Si atom is attached to 'q' oxygen atoms directly (C) Each Al atom is attached to 'r' Si atoms directly (D) Each O atom will use 't' difference hybridized orbitals.
