Questions Related to classification of kingdom plantae

Which of the following statements about the distinction between plants and animals is false?

biology plant taxonomy classification of kingdom plantae features of plant and animal kingdom plant classification

  1. Plants have cell wall made up of cellulose.

  2. Plants have intermediate larval stages.

  3. Plants are extensively branched.

  4. Animals are heterotrophic.

  5. All of the above.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Plants and animals though both livings are different in many ways. On considering the cell though the function is the same but structure is different, the plant cell has chloroplast which contains the green pigment chlorophyll. Besides this, the plant cell has a cell wall and large vacuole which are absent in  animal cells. However, in respect to the life cycle of plants and animals, many animals go through larval stages before they metamorphose into adults whereas plants do not have a larval stage. Thus, the correct answer is option B.

............ provides the rigid shape to plant cells.

biology plant taxonomy classification of kingdom plantae features of plant and animal kingdom plant classification

  1. Cell membrane

  2. Cell wall

  3. Cytoskeleton

  4. Chloroplasts

  5. Centrioles

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The peptidoglycan in the cell wall gives a rigid structure to the entire cell. The cell wall surrounding the cell gives shape to the cell and also prevents it from bursting.

An autotropic organism with cells that are organized into tissues and organs.

Which of the following organism includes these characteristics?

biology plant taxonomy classification of kingdom plantae features of plant and animal kingdom plant classification

  1. Monera

  2. Protista

  3. Fungi

  4. Plantae

  5. Animalia

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Kingdom monera includes unicellular organisms while kingdom Protista includes eukaryotic unicellular and simple multicellular organisms. Kingdoms fungi and animals include heterotrophic organisms. Kingdom Plantae includes autotrophic multicellular organisms that exhibit tissue or organ/organ system level of body organization. Thus, the correct answer is D.

An organism is examined and is found to be multicellular and heterotrophic and have cell walls made of a substance other than cellulose. The organism belongs to which of the following kingdoms?

  1. Monera

  2. Protista

  3. Fungi

  4. Plantae

  5. Animalia

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Kingdom monera includes unicellular prokaryotic BGA and bacteria. Kingdom Protista includes eukaryotic unicellular organisms, algae and all protozoa. Kingdom fungi include multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes with the chitinous cell wall. Kingdom Plantae includes autotrophic organisms with cellulosic cell wall while kingdom Animalia includes heterotrophic organisms without the cell wall. The correct answer is C.

Which best explains why most plants appear green?

biology plant taxonomy classification of kingdom plantae features of plant and animal kingdom plant classification

  1. They absorb green light.

  2. They do not absorb red light.

  3. They reflect blue light.

  4. They reflect green light.

  5. They generate wavelengths of green light when they absorb sunlight.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Plants appear green due to the presence of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a pigment present in the chloroplasts of the plants that absorbs in the blue and red region of light spectrum and reflects green light making the plants to look green. Thus, plants appear green because they reflect green light.
So, the correct answer is they reflect green light.

 Plants use polymers of glucose as storage molecules and as structural components in their cell walls. Which of the following polysaccharides would be found in a plant?
 I. Starch
 II. Glycogen
 III. Cellulose

biology plant taxonomy classification of kingdom plantae features of plant and animal kingdom plant classification

  1. I only

  2. II only

  3. III only

  4. I and II only

  5. I and III only

Show answer
Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Cellulose forms an integral part of the cell wall which provides strength and rigidity to the cell. It helps to maintain the structural integrity of a particular cell. Cellulose is a complex polysaccharide which is made up of  β(1→4) linked D-glucose units.

Starch is the important food reserve for the plants. The excess amount of glucose synthesized during dark reaction of photosynthesis is stored in food vacuoles of the plant which it again converted into a usable form of glucose in case of unfavorable conditions. It is a complex polysaccharide formed by 1,4-alpha linkage between two glucose unit.
So, the correct answer is option E.

The organelles found in 4 different types of cells are shown in the table below. Use the information in the table to answer the next 3 questions.
Cell Types and Their Characteristics

Which cell type will undergo the process of photosynthesis?

biology plant taxonomy classification of kingdom plantae features of plant and animal kingdom plant classification

  1. Cell 1 only

  2. Cell 2 only

  3. Cell 2 and 3 only

  4. Cell 3 only

  5. Cell 3 and 4 only

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are the green coloured plastids which contains various pigments necessary for photosynthesis.
Since only cell 2 has the chloroplast, so it will undergo the process of photosynthesis.
So, the correct answer is 'Cell 2 only'.

Archegoniatae include

  1. Bryophytes, Pteridophytes and Gymnosperms

  2. Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms and Angiosperms

  3. Algae, Fungi and Bryophytes

  4. Algae, Fungi and Bacteria

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An archegonium is a multicellular structure or organ of the gametophyte phase of plants, producing and containing the ovum or female gamete. The archegonium has a long neck canal or venter and a swollen base. Archegonia are located on the surface of the plant thallus. Plants having archegonium is known as archegoniate. Bryophytes, pteridophytes and gymnosperms are archegoniate plants. so option A is correct.
