    A. True
    Explanation
    Green algae is green because chlorophyll is the main pigment contained. This statement is true because chlorophyll is the pigment responsible for capturing sunlight during photosynthesis, and it gives plants and algae their green color. Green algae, like other photosynthetic organisms, contain chlorophyll as their primary pigment, allowing them to absorb sunlight and convert it into energy. This absorption of light in the green spectrum reflects green light back to our eyes, making green algae appear green in color.

    Plant like protists are also known as algae.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because plant-like protists, also known as algae, are photosynthetic organisms that contain chlorophyll and can produce their own food through photosynthesis. Algae can be found in various aquatic environments, ranging from freshwater to marine habitats. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by providing oxygen, serving as a food source for other organisms, and contributing to the overall balance of the environment.

    Parameciums are a type of ciliate.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Parameciums are indeed a type of ciliate. Ciliates are a group of protozoans that possess hair-like structures called cilia, which they use for movement. Parameciums are single-celled organisms that belong to this group and are characterized by their unique shape and the presence of cilia all over their body. They are commonly found in freshwater environments and play important roles in the ecosystem as decomposers and as a food source for other organisms. Therefore, the statement "Parameciums are a type of ciliate" is true.

    Fungi:

    • A.

      Are all producers

    • B.

      Cannot eat or engulf food

    • C.

      Only found in soil

    • D.

      Mostly single-celled

    Correct Answer
    B. Cannot eat or engulf food
    Explanation
    Fungi cannot eat or engulf food because they are heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrients by absorbing them from their surroundings. Unlike producers, such as plants, fungi do not have the ability to photosynthesize and create their own food. Instead, they rely on external sources of organic matter, such as decaying plants or animals, to obtain nutrients. This process is known as decomposition. Therefore, the statement "Fungi cannot eat or engulf food" accurately describes their feeding mechanism.

    Lichen:

    • A.

      Is a parasite

    • B.

      Made of an alga and fungus intertwined

    • C.

      Lives in water only

    • D.

      Is a consumer

    Correct Answer
    B. Made of an alga and fungus intertwined
    Explanation
    Lichen is not a parasite, as it is a mutualistic relationship between an alga and a fungus. The alga provides food through photosynthesis, while the fungus provides a structure for support and protection. Lichen can be found in various environments, including on rocks, trees, and soil, not just in water. It is not a consumer, as it does not actively consume other organisms for nutrition.

    Which is NOT true about fungi?

    • A.

      All are consumers

    • B.

      All are multicellular

    • C.

      Are eukaryotic

    • D.

      Can be useful to humans

    Correct Answer
    B. All are multicellular
    Explanation
    Fungi are a diverse group of organisms that can be both multicellular and unicellular. While many fungi are multicellular, some fungi, such as yeasts, are unicellular. Therefore, it is not true that all fungi are multicellular.

    Black bread mold is an example of a:

    • A.

      Threadlike fungus

    • B.

      Sac fungus

    • C.

      Club fungus

    • D.

      Imperfect fungus

    Correct Answer
    A. Threadlike fungus
    Explanation
    Black bread mold is an example of a threadlike fungus because it belongs to the group of fungi known as Zygomycota, which are characterized by their filamentous hyphae. These hyphae intertwine to form a network called mycelium, which is visible to the naked eye. The threadlike appearance of the mold is a result of these hyphae, making it a fitting example of a threadlike fungus.

      Imperfect fungus

    • D.

      Club fungus

    Correct Answer
    B. Sac fungus
    Explanation
    Yeast is classified as a sac fungus. Sac fungi, also known as Ascomycetes, are characterized by their sac-like structures called asci, which contain spores. Yeast belongs to the genus Saccharomyces and reproduces asexually by budding. It is a unicellular organism that is commonly used in baking and brewing due to its ability to ferment sugars. Sac fungi also include molds, truffles, and morels.

    The largest group of fungi are the sac fungi. Sac fungi, also known as Ascomycota, are a diverse group of fungi that includes yeasts, molds, and truffles. They are characterized by their reproductive structures called asci, which contain sac-like structures that produce spores. Sac fungi are widely distributed and can be found in various habitats, including soil, plants, and decaying organic matter. They play important roles in nutrient cycling and decomposition processes in ecosystems.

    Yeast reproduce:

    • A.

      By conjugation

    • B.

      By budding

    • C.

      By fission

    Correct Answer
    B. By budding
    Explanation
    Yeast reproduce by budding, which is a form of asexual reproduction. In budding, a small bud forms on the parent yeast cell, grows in size, and eventually separates to become a new individual yeast cell. This process allows yeast to rapidly increase their population size. Conjugation, on the other hand, is a form of sexual reproduction that involves the exchange of genetic material between two yeast cells. Fission refers to the splitting of a cell into two separate cells, which is not a method of reproduction for yeast.
