Question

R.H. Whittaker proposed a Five Kingdom Classification. The kingdoms defined by him were named Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. The main criteria for classification used by him include cell structure, body organisation, mode of nutrition, reproduction and phylogenetic relationships. The three-domain system has also been proposed that divides the Kingdom Monera into two domains, leaving the remaining eukaryotic kingdoms in the third domain and there by a six kingdom classification. Earlier classification systems included bacteria, blue-green algae, fungi, mosses, ferns, gymnosperms and the angiosperms under 'Plants'. The character that unified this whole kingdom was that all the organisms included had a cell wall in their cells.
Robert H. Whittaker (1969)

i. Observe Robert H. Whittaker (1969) flow chart of classification and mention what type of organisms were included in Kingdom Animalia? (1)
ii. Mention two differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. (1)
iii. Linnaeus used which kingdom of classification? State two drawbacks of Linnaeus two kingdom classification. (2)

OR

Is Fungi- Autotrophic (Photosynthetic) and Heterotrophic the correct match? Also, Mention the difference between the walls of fungi and green plants. (2)

Answer

i. All organisms are multicellular, eukaryotes with heterotrophic mode of nutrition.
ii.

Prokaryotic cell	Eukaryotic cell
Genetic material is not enclosed in a nuclear envelope and is present suspended in the cytoplasm in a region called nucleoid.	Genetic material is enclosed within the nucleus by a nuclear envelope and is not present in direc contact with cytoplasm.
Cell wall is made up of peptidoglycan.	Cell wall is made up of chitin in fungi and cellulose in plants.
Nucleolus is absent.	Nucleolus is present.

iii. Linnaeus used artificial system kingdom of classification.
Drawbacks of Linnaeus two kingdom classification:
• Linnaeus developed a Two Kingdom system of classification with Plantae and Animalia kingdoms.
• This system did not distinguish between eukaryotes and prokaryotes, unicellular and multicellular organisms, photosynthetic (green algae) and non-photosynthetic (fungi) organisms.

OR

No, Fungi-Autotrophic (Photosynthetic) and Heterotrophic is not correct match. The walls of the fungi were made of chitin, whereas the green plants had a cellulose cell wall.

Various parts of the plant such as stems leaves, and even fruits are modified into underground parts to perform various functions such as stems, leaves, and even fruits.
The stems in ginger and banana are underground and swollen due to storage of food. They are called rhizome. Rhizome of ginger is a modification of stem because it bears nodes, internodes, terminal buds, scaly leaves and buds, which give rise to aerial shoots. It is not a root because root does not have nodes and internodes. Also, rhizome does not perform the function of roots i.e. anchorage and absorption, rather it serve as reservoir for storage of food. Similarly, corm is an underground stem in Colocasia (jimikand) The tips of the underground stem in potato become swollen due to accumulation of food and forms tuber.

i. Observe the given flow chart and mention what are the four types of Underground stem modification also mention one example of each. (1)
ii. Ginger is an underground stem but why it is distinguished from a root? (1)
iii. Why do the tips of modified stems in potatoes become swollen? (2)

Sarcodines are unicellular/jelly-like protozoa found in fresh or sea water and in moist soil. Their body lacks a periplast. Therefore, they may be naked or covered by a calcareous shell. They usually lack flagella and have temporary protoplasmic outgrowths called pseudopodia. These pseudopodia or false feet help in movement and capturing prey. They include free-living forms such as Amoeba or parasitic forms such as Entamoeba. Zoo flagellates ciliates and I sporozoans are other groups of protozoan protists. They are all unicellular and heterotrophic. They may be holozoic, saprobic or parasitic.

Lipids form a heterogeneous group but all are made up of carbon hydrogen and oxygen. These are insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents like acetone, ether, alcohol etc. The number of oxygen atoms is very small compared to carbon atoms. They need a large amount of oxygen for their oxidation to release energy. They could be simple lipids, compound lipids, and derived lipids. Simple lipids are esters of fatty acid and alcohol. Compound lipids are formed when simple lipids combine with another compounds for example glycolipids, phospholipids and lipoproteins. Derived lipids are of various types and important example being steroids.

(1) Lipids mainly consist of
(a) Carbon only
(b) carbon hydrogen and nitrogen
(c) carbon hydrogen and oxygen
(d) Hydrogen only

(2) Among the given options non-polymeric molecule is
(a) Nucleic acids (b) proteins (c) Lipids (d) polysaccharides

(3) An example of unsaturated fatty acid is
(a) oleic acid (b) stearic acid (c) Linoleic acid (d) both a and c

(4) The number of carbon atoms as compared to oxygen atoms in lipids is
(a) same (b) much less (c) much more (d) none of these.

(5) Steroids are an example of
(a) derived lipids (b) conjugated lipids (c) simple lipids (d) lipo proteins

Polysaccharides or the macro molecules consisting of long chains of sugar. Only carbohydrates they are not sweet and are insoluble in water. The two ends of the polysaccharide chain are called reducing and non-reducing ends. Based upon their monomeric units these are homo polysaccharides or heteropolysaccharides. Depending upon their location polysaccharides play multiple functions in living world few examples of polysaccharides include Cellulose, chitin, inulin etc.

(1) All the listed polysaccharides are homopolymers except
(a) Starch (b) glycogen (c) Chitin (d) Cellulose

(2) Inulin is a polymer of
(a) glucose (b) fructose (c) glucose and sucrose (d) fructose and galactans

(3) Murein is a heteropolysaccharide like
(a) araban (b) xylan (c) hyaluronic acid (d) agar

(4) A polysaccharide found in the exoskeleton of crabs is
(a) Cellulose (b) pectin (c) murine (d) chitin

(5) The right end of the polysaccharide chain is called
(a) reducing end (b) non-reducing end (c) right end (d) none of these
