    ± 0.3 s
  • c)
    ± 0.5 s
  • d)
    ± 0.4 s
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Niharika Nair answered
Given,
t1 = 39.6 s
t2 = 39.9s
t3 = 39.5 s
Least count of measuring instrument = 0.1 s
[As measurements have only one decimal place] Percision in the measurement  = Least count of the measuring instrument =0.1 s
Mean value of time for 20 oscillations
Absolute errors in the measurements
Δt1 = t - t1 = 39.7 - 39.6 = 0.1s
Δt2 = t - t2 = 39.7 - 39.9 = -0.2 s
Δt3 = t - t3 = 39.7 - 39.5 = 0.2 s
Mean absolute error
(rounding-off upto decimal place)
∴ Accuracy of measurement = ±0.2 s

(iii) They live in hot sulphur springs.
(iv) They are strictly anaerobic.
  • a)
    Statements (i), (ii) and (iv) are correct
  • b)
    Statements (i) and (ii) are correct
  • c)
    Statements (ii), (iii) and (iv) are correct
  • d)
    All statements are correct
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Mira Joshi answered
Archaebacteria differ from other bacteria in having a different cell wall structure and this feature is responsible for their survival in extreme conditions. Methanogens are present in the gut of several ruminant animals such as cows and buffaloes and they are responsible for the production of methane (biogas) from the dung of these animals. Methanogens are obligate anaerobes.
So the correct option is "Statement(i) and (ii) are correct".

    Systematic error
  • b)
    Gross error
  • c)
    Random error
  • d)
    None of the mentioned
Correct answer is 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

.mie. answered
Ys the answr is B ... as systematic errors arises due to faulty instruments.... random errors are those errors, which occur irregularly and hence are random. These can arise due to random and unpredictable fluctuations in experimental conditions For example, when the same person repeats the same observation, it is very likely that he may get different readings every time... Gross Errors: This category basically takes into account human oversight and other mistakes while reading, recording and the readings ...(^_^)

Cyanobacteria are used in agricultural fields for improvement because they cause
  • a)
    N2 fixation
  • b)
    algal blooms
  • c)
    photosynthesis
  • d)
    all of these.
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Mira Joshi answered
Several cyanobacteria have the ability of nitrogen fixation. The filamentous forms possess special large pale cells or heterocysts for this. Some of the fixed nitrogen comes out as excretion. After death of cyanobacteria the substratum becomes rich in nitrogen. Such nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria are now regularly inoculated in the rice fields This saves application of nitrogen fertilizers.

Can you explain the answer of this question below:

 Approximate ratio of 1 fermi to 1 angstrom is …

  • A:

    10-5m

  • B:

    10-15m

  • C:

    10-9m

  • D:

    10-6m

The answer is a.

Bhargavi Bajaj answered
To find the approximate ratio of 1 fermi to 1 angstrom, we need to convert both units to a common unit of length.

1 fermi (fm) is a unit of length in the metric system, and it is equal to 10^-15 meters (m).

1 angstrom (Å) is also a unit of length in the metric system, and it is equal to 10^-10 meters (m).

To find the ratio, we can divide 1 fermi by 1 angstrom:

Ratio = 1 fm / 1 Å

Since both units are in meters, we can convert the units before dividing:

Ratio = (1 fm / 10^-15 m) / (1 Å / 10^-10 m)

Simplifying the expression:

Ratio = (1 fm * 10^-10 m) / (1 Å * 10^-15 m)

Ratio = 10^-10 / 10^-15

Using the rules of exponents, we can subtract the exponents:

Ratio = 10^5

Therefore, the approximate ratio of 1 fermi to 1 angstrom is 10^5.

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Ciel Knowledge answered
Cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae) are photosynthetic autotrophs and possess chlorophyll a, similar to green plants. They can be unicellular, colonial, or filamentous and are capable of nitrogen fixation in specialized cells called heterocysts, which helps in converting atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form for the ecosystem. They are found in both freshwater and marine environments.

The % by volume of C4H10 in a gaseous mixture of C4H10, CH4 and CO is 40. When 200 ml of the mixture is burnt in excess of O2. Find volume (in ml) of CO2 produced.
  • a)
    220
  • b)
    340
  • c)
    440
  • d)
    560
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Mira Sharma answered
There is one Carbon atom in the molecule of CO2.
Volume of C4 H10  in the mixture = 80 ml
volume of CO2 produced by combustion of C4H10 = 4 * 80 = 320 ml
as there are 4 Carbons in each molecule.
volume of CH4 + CO in mixture = 120 ml
volume of CO2 produced = 120 ml
Total volume of CO2 = 320 + 120 = 440 ml

C6H5OH(g) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)
The magnitude of volume change if 30 ml of C6H5OH (g) is burnt with an excess amount of oxygen, is
  • a)
    30 ml
  • b)
    60 ml
  • c)
    20 ml
  • d)
    10 ml
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Balanced Reaction: C6H5OH(g)+7O2(g) ——> 6CO2(g)+3H2O(l)
8 moles of the reactants get reduced to 9 moles of products.
Now, 30 ml of Phenol will react (30 x 7) = 210 ml of oxygen.
So, (30+210) = 240 ml of the reactants will after reaction will give = (30 x 6) + (30 x 3) = 270 ml of products.
Since the water formed is in the liquid state will not contribute to the volume increase, the resultant mixture will contain 270 ml.
So, the volume change is of 270 – 240 = 30 ml.

Number of moles of hydroxide ions in 0.3L of 0.005M solution of Ba (OH)2 is:
  • a)
    0.0015
  • b)
    0.003
  • c)
    0.0050
  • d)
    0.0075
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Bhavana Tiwari answered
0.3 L = 0.3 L of 0.005 M Ba(OH)2
0.3 x 0.005 = 0.0015 moles of Ba(OH)2
It will dissociate into 0.0015 moles of Ba and 2 x 0.0015 = 0.003 moles of OH ions.

74 gm of sample on complete combustion gives 132 gm CO2 and 54 gm of H2O. The molecular formula of the compound may be
  • a)
    C5H12
  • b)
    C4H10O
  • c)
    C3H6O2
  • d)
    C3H7O2
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Iyer answered
Mass of C in 132g CO2 = 12/44*132 = 36g 
Mass of H in 54g H2O = 2/18*54 = 6g 
Missing mass is O = 74g - ( 36+6) = 32g 
Divide each mass by atomic mass : 
C = 36/12 = 3 
H = 6/1 = 6 
O = 32/16 = 2

  • a)
    Bacteria reproduce mainly by fission
  • b)
    Bacteria reproduce by production of gametes .
  • c)
    Under unfavourable conditions, Bacteria  produce spores.
  • d)
    Bacteria reproduce by a sort of sexual reproduction
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Maheshwar Iyer answered
Understanding Bacterial Reproduction
Bacteria are unicellular organisms that exhibit unique modes of reproduction. Here’s a breakdown of the statements provided:
Statement A: Bacteria reproduce mainly by fission
- This statement is correct.
- Bacteria primarily reproduce asexually through a process called binary fission, where one cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
Statement B: Bacteria reproduce by production of gametes
- This statement is incorrect.
- Bacteria do not reproduce by gametes (reproductive cells like sperm and egg). Instead, they reproduce asexually, primarily through binary fission.
Statement C: Under unfavourable conditions, Bacteria produce spores
- This statement is correct.
- Many bacteria can form endospores when conditions become unfavorable. This allows them to survive extreme environments until conditions improve.
Statement D: Bacteria reproduce by a sort of sexual reproduction
- This statement can be misleading but is partially correct.
- Some bacteria exchange genetic material through processes like transformation, transduction, and conjugation, which is not true sexual reproduction but allows for genetic diversity.
Conclusion
- In summary, option 'B' is the only statement that incorrectly describes bacterial reproduction. Bacteria do not produce gametes; they mainly reproduce asexually through binary fission, with alternative methods for genetic exchange that do not involve the formation of gametes.

Select the correct statement regarding heterocysts.
  • a)
    These are present in some filamentous cyanobacter such as Nostoc and Anabaena.
  • b)
    These cells are specialized to perform N2-fixation
  • c)
    These cells contain enzyme nitrogenase.
  • d)
    All of these.
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Mira Joshi answered
Heterocyst is a large-sized pale coloured thick-walled cell which occurs in terminal, intercalary or lateral position in filamentous cyanobacteria, e.g., Nostoc. The thick wall impermeable to oxygen but permeable to nitrogen. Mucilage sheath is absent. Photosystem II is absent. Thylakoids laid phycobilisomes. Therefore, photosynthesis is absent but cyclic photophosphorylation occurs. Heterocyst is dependent for its nourishment on adjacent vegetative cells. It has enzyme nitrogenase and so, it is specialised to perform nitrogen fixation.

Cyanobacteria are classified under which of the following kingdoms?
  • a)
    Monera
  • b)
    Protista
  • c)
    Algae
  • d)
    Plantae
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Mira Joshi answered
Cyano bacteria or blue-green algae are Gram + photosynthetic prokaryotes which perform oxygenic photo- synthesis. Photosynthetic pigments include chlorophyll a, carotenoids  and phycobilins. Cyanobacteria are classified under kingdom Monera. Cyanobacterial cell structure is  typically prokaryotic - one envelope organisation with peptidoglycan wall, naked DNA, 70S ribosomes and absence of membrane bound structures like endoplasmic reticulum, mltochondria, Golgi bodies, plastids, lysosomes, sap vacuoles. The outer part of the protoplast, called chromoplasm, contains a number of photosynthetic thylakoids.

Assertion (A): Cyanobacteria are capable of photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation due to the presence of chlorophyll and specialized cells called heterocysts.

Reason (R): Cyanobacteria can only perform photosynthesis in aquatic environments due to the absence of light in terrestrial environments.
  • a)
    Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
  • b)
    Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
  • c)
    (A) is true, but (R) is false.
  • d)
    (A) is false, but (R) is true.
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Geetika Iyer answered
Assertion (A) Explained
Cyanobacteria are indeed capable of photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation. They possess chlorophyll, which allows them to capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy through photosynthesis. Additionally, they have specialized cells known as heterocysts that facilitate nitrogen fixation, converting atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form for the organism.
Reason (R) Explained
The statement that cyanobacteria can only perform photosynthesis in aquatic environments is not accurate. While they thrive in aquatic settings where light is abundant, cyanobacteria can also be found in various terrestrial environments, such as soil and on rocks, where they can still engage in photosynthesis, especially when moisture is available.
Conclusion
Therefore, the correct interpretation is:
  • (A) is true: Cyanobacteria can photosynthesize and fix nitrogen.
  • (R) is false: Cyanobacteria are not limited to aquatic environments for photosynthesis.

The correct answer is option 'C', indicating that while the assertion is true, the reasoning provided is incorrect. Cyanobacteria's ability to perform photosynthesis is not restricted to aquatic environments, making (R) false.

Arya Nambiar answered
Understanding Archaebacteria
Archaebacteria, also known as archaea, are a distinct group of microorganisms that differ significantly from other bacteria in several ways, particularly in their adaptation to extreme environments.
Cell Wall Structure
- The most defining feature of archaebacteria is their unique cell wall composition. Unlike other bacteria that typically have peptidoglycan in their cell walls, archaebacteria possess pseudopeptidoglycan (or other polymers) that provide structural integrity.
- This unique cell wall structure is essential for survival in extreme conditions such as high temperatures, salinity, or acidity, where many other organisms cannot thrive.
Membrane Lipids
- Archaebacteria also have distinct membrane lipids. Their membranes are composed of ether-linked lipids, which are more stable than the ester-linked lipids found in other bacteria.
- This enhances their ability to withstand extreme heat and harsh chemical environments, contributing to their resilience.
Metabolic Pathways
- Archaebacteria exhibit unique metabolic pathways that allow them to utilize different energy sources, such as hydrogen gas or sulfur, making them versatile in extreme habitats.
- Many archaea are also extremophiles, thriving in environments like hot springs, salt lakes, and deep-sea vents where other forms of life struggle to survive.
Conclusion
In summary, the different cell wall structure of archaebacteria is crucial for their survival in extreme environments, setting them apart from other bacteria. This unique adaptation enables them to thrive in conditions that are inhospitable to most life forms, showcasing the incredible diversity of life on Earth.
