Nutrition in Plants & Animals (Photosynthesis & Food Substances)
Solution
A beaker of pond water containing few specimens of Euglena was placed in a dark room for two weeks. At the end of this period, the specimens of Euglena were still alive because they were
A
able to carry out holozoic nutrition
B
able to carry out photosynthesis using carbon dioxide in the pond water
C
better adapted to life in darkness than to life in light
D
not overcrowded
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
Euglena can survive in a dark room for a long time because it has the ability to switch from photosynthetic (using light) to heterotrophic or holozoic nutrition (absorbing nutrients from the surrounding environment) when deprived of light; essentially acting like a tiny animal by consuming organic matter in the water, allowing it to continue living even without photosynthesis through its chloroplasts.

B

C

D

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Biological Concept & Syllabus Guide
In this experimental setup, the level of liquid in the thistle funnel increases due to the process of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of higher water concentration (the distilled water in the beaker) to a region of lower water concentration (the sugar solution in the funnel) through a semi-permeable membrane. As water molecules pass through the membrane into the funnel, the volume of the solution inside increases, causing the level to rise up the stem.
