45. Q. Purpose three examples of characteristics used for hierarchical classification. Based on these, develop the definition of characteristics. Why the characteristics of body design used for classification of plants is different from those used for classifying animals
Ans:
a. Characteristics used for hierarchical classification of living organisms are:-
(i) They are unicellular or multicellular.
(ii) The mode of nutrition.
(iii) The mode of reproduction.
b. Characteristics mean features or qualities of any organism.
c. The characteristics of body design used for classification of plants is different from those used for classifying animals because the basic body designs are different based on the need to prepare food or obtain it by consuming other organisms. Organisms that produce their own food have structures like chloroplasts which contain pigments like chlorophyll necessary for synthesis of food.
Organisms that acquire food lack structures for the production of food and completely dependent on the others organisms for their nutrition.

Q. 29. Carolus Liniaus gave the two kingdom of classification. Latter it was changed by Ernst Haikel (1894) and in 1959 , ,Whittaker gave the five kingdom classification. Do you think that studying about the work done by earlier scientists or their obsolete theories is useful for student of this generation? Give three reasons. 2014
Ans: Yes , absolutely studying the works of the earlier scientists is very much useful as it gives the information about the basis of classification like how organisms were classified and the different types of organisms present in this environment. It also helps them to do further studies and find out what the drawbacks were in those systems and how one can overcome those problems which the earlier scientists faced. By studying the works of the earlier scientists researchers will be able to make a much better and a easy method of classification and will be able to add new species according to their respective kingdoms .
Q. 30.What are phanerogams? Name its two groups along with the criteria of division
Ans: Plants with well differentiated reproductive tissues that ultimately make seeds are called phanerogams. This group is further classified, based on whether the seeds are naked or enclosed in fruits, giving us two groups: gymnosperms and angiosperms

Q. 35. Q. Answer these Questions:
a)Which division has the simplest plants?
b) To which division pinus and cycas belong?
c) What is the other name given to the flowering plants? Classify them on the basis of number of cotyledons present in the seed
Ans:
(a) Thallophyta
(b) Gymnosperms
(c) angiosperm is the other name given to the flowering plants. The angiosperms are divided into two groups on the basis of the number of cotyledons present in the seed.
Plants with seeds having a single cotyledon are called monocotyledonous or monocots.
Plants with seeds having two cotyledons are called dicots
36. Q. Define Taxonomy. Who is known as father of taxonomy?
Ans: The branch of science that classify living organisms among different categories or groups is called taxonomy. Taxonomy is the science of identifying and naming species and organising them into systems of classification.
Carl Linnaeus is known as father of taxonomy
37. Q. Name the book written by Carolus Linnaeus on classification of organisms. In how many kingdoms Carolus Linnaeus diving living beings?
Answer: Systema Naturae. Two kingdoms i.e. Plantae (Plants) and Animalia (Animals)
38. Q. Name the scientist who created the third kingdom for all microscopic unicellular organisms. What did he call it?
Answer: After Linnaeus proposed two kingdoms, German biologist, Ernst Haeckel proposed third kingdom for all microscopic unicellular organisms and called it Protists.
39. Q. Name the organisms which are outside the classification.
Answer: Viruses and Prions
40. Q. Classify the following organisms into their respective kingdoms as per Whittaker's five-kingdom system.
humans, mushroom, herbs, amoeba, E.coli, euglena, mold, birds, insects, bushes, paramecium, trees, dogs, streptococcus.
Answer:
Kingdom Monera: E.coli, streptococcus (bacteria)
Kingdom Protista: amoeba, euglena, paramecium
Kingdom Fungi: mushroom, mold,
Kingdom Plantae: herbs, bushes, trees
Kingdom Animalia: humans, birds, insects, dogs
41. Q. Why are bryophytes called the amphibians of the plant kingdom?
Answer: Bryophytes are known as 'amphibians of the plant kingdom' because these plants can live in soil but are dependent on water for sexual reproduction.Usually they are found in humid and damp areas
42. Q. Needle shaped structure in pines plant is – (a) Leaf (b) Shoot (c) Stem (d) Reproductive part
Ans: leaf
43. Q. Protochordotes posses a notochord in larva form . Appraise use of this feature in these animal.
Ans: The notochord is a long rod-like support structure (chord=string) that runs along the back of the animal separating the nervous tissue from the gut. It provides a place for muscles to attach for ease of movement.
44. Q. Write four conventions are followed while writing the scientific names of organism. Write the scientific names of tiger?
Ans: Certain conventions are followed while writing the scientific names of organism are as follows:
1. The name of the genus begins with a capital letter.
2. The name of the species begins with a small letter.
3. When printed, the scientific name is given in italics.
4. When written by hand, the genus name and the species name have to be underlined separately
The scientific names of tiger is Panthera tigris and the scientific names of lion is Panthera leo
Importance – The scientific names are unique, understood and followed all over the world. They are not changed easily.
45. Q. Purpose three examples of characteristics used for hierarchical classification. Based on these, develop the definition of characteristics. Why the characteristics of body design used for classification of plants is different from those used for classifying animals
Ans:
a. Characteristics used for hierarchical classification of living organisms are:-
(i) They are unicellular or multicellular.
(ii) The mode of nutrition.
(iii) The mode of reproduction.
b. Characteristics mean features or qualities of any organism.
c. The characteristics of body design used for classification of plants is different from those used for classifying animals because the basic body designs are different based on the need to prepare food or obtain it by consuming other organisms. Organisms that produce their own food have structures like chloroplasts which contain pigments like chlorophyll necessary for synthesis of food.
Organisms that acquire food lack structures for the production of food and completely dependent on the others organisms for their nutrition.
46. Q. What is the scientific name of human ,pea ,peacock and ostrich ?
Ans. Homo sapiens sapiens Pea - Pisum sativum Peacock - Pavo cristatus Ostrich - struthio.
47. Q. (i) Identify the class of animals having the following characteristic features.
(a) The warm blooded animals that lay eggs and have four chambered heart and a covering of feathers.
(b) The cold blooded animals having scales and they breathe through lungs.
(ii) Give one example of an animal belonging to each of these classes.
Ans. (i) (a) Aves (b) Reptilia (ii) (b) Aves Example – Duck Reptilia Example – Lizard
48. Q. In the hierarchy of classification, which grouping will have the smallest number of organisms with maximum characteristics in common and which will have the largest number of organisms?
Ans. In the hierarchy of classification, the category ‘‘species’’ has the smallest number of organisms with a maximum of characteristics in common. On the other side, the category ‘‘kingdom’’ has the largest number of organisms as it is at the top level of the hierarchy.
49. Q. On the basis of seed how a maize plant is different from a pea plant?
Ans: Maize plant is different from a pea plant because in maize seeds contain only one cotyledon in the embryo. While in pea plants seeds contain two cotyledons in the embryo.
50. Q. Define the terms and give one example of each (i) Bilateral symmetry (ii) Coelom (iii) Triplobastic
Ans. (i) Bilateral symmetry – When the body of an organism can be cut into similar halves which are mirror images of each other, only by one plane. Example – man
(ii) Coelom – Body cavity of tripoblastic animals lying within the mesoderm and lined by it. Example – Annelida
(iii)Triploblastic – Animals having a body made of three germ layers : ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. Example – Fasciola (liver fluke)
51. Q. Why do we keep both snake and turtle in the same class?
Ans: We keep snake turtle in same class because
Because both are (i) cold blooded (ii) have scales (iii) breathe through lungs (iv) have three chamberd heart.
