Directions (QS. 1 to 10): Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow

Passage-1

A bacteriologist cultures a blood specimen and finds that it produces two kinds of bacterial colonies. One
kind of bacteria, designed R, grows in red colonies, the other, called Y, produces yellow colonies. To study
the metabolism of these bacteria, she performs the following experiments:
Experiment 1:
R is cultured on three different media. It grows on a medium containing glucose only. It grows poorly on a
medium containing amino acids only. It grows on a medium containing glucose and amino acids.
Experiment 2:
Y is cultured on the same three media. It grows poorly on the glucose medium, and not at an on the amino
acid medium. On the medium containing both nutrients, it grows vigorously.
Experiment 3:
R and Y are grown together on the three different media. On the glucose medium, only R grows .On the
amino acid medium, R grows poorly and Y not at an. On the medium containing both nutrients, only Y
grows.

1. Which statement is true about the nutritional requirements of the R bacteria?

(a) They need both glucose and amino acids in order to grow vigorously.
(b) They can survive and propose on glucose alone.
(c) Amino acids tend to retard their growth
(d) They cannot grow without glucose.

2. Which statement is true about the nutritional requirements of the Y bacteria?

(a) They cannot survive without both glucose and amino acids.
(b) They cannot survive without glucose, but must have amino acids
(c) They can survive without amino acids, but must have glucose
(d) If they have glucose, the presence of amino acids is irrelevant.

3. Which hypothesis best explains the results obtained when both bacteria are grown together on a
glucose-only medium?
(a) The Y bacteria is do not survive because they need amino acids.
(b) The Y bacteria produce some substance that promotes the growth of R bacteria
(c) The R bacteria grow vigorously and win out in competition with the Y bacteria.
(d) The R bacteria promote the growth of the Y bacteria.

Passage-2

Blue green algae are microscopic algae which are blue-green in colour. They contain chlorophyll and make
food by photosynthesis. Most of the blue-green algae are single celled but some are linked to form filaments.
Some of the common examples of blue-green algae are anabaena, Nostoc and Oscillatoria.

4. The classification of algae is based on

(a) Type of pigment
(b) Nature of cell wall material
(c) Nature of reserved food
 (d) All the above
5. Reserve food material of algae is
(a) Starch
(b) Glycogen
(c) Fat
(d) Sugar

6. Which of the following is not an example of blue green algae?

(a) Anabaena
(b) Nostoc
(c) Lichen
(d) Oscillatoria

Passage-3

Mycoplasma is a group of extremely small bacteria which do not have a cell wall. Thus whereas all ordinary
bacteria have cell walls, mycoplasmas lack cell wall. And due to absence of rigid cell wall, the cells of
mycoplasmas are delicate and plastic. Mycoplasmas are both parasitic and saprophytic in nutrition.
Mycoplasmas cause a disease called pleuropneumonia in humans and bovine tuberculosis in cattle.
Mycoplasmas are resistant to antibiotics like penicillin.

7. Main function of elementary bodies in Mycoplasma is

(a) Respiration
(b) Food storage
(c) Secretion
(d) Reproduction

8. Mycoplasma is related to
(a) Algae
(b) Bacteriophase
(c) Virus
(d) Bacteria

9. Mycoplasma is a
(a) Saprophyte
(b) Parasite
(c) Some species are parasites and other are saprophytes
(d) None of these

10. Which of the following statement is true about mycoplasma?

(a) Presence of cell wall
(b) Presence of nucleus
(c) Absence of cell wall
(d) Definite shape
