Answers
Answer:
(i) Algae and fungi
Algae
Algae belong to the Kingdom Protista
Algae are autotrophic organisms
Strictly exists in bodies of water or any environment with high moisture content
Algae are not parasitic
Fungi
Fungi were once classified under Kingdom protista, but are now classified under their own kingdom – Fungi
Fungi are usually heterotrophic. They prefer dead organic matter.
Fungi are found almost everywhere, including deserts and frigid environments.
In fungi some members are parasitic.
(ii) Monocot and dicot plants
Monocot
The plants which contain only one cotyledon or one seed leaf in their seeds.Example:rice,grass,maie,etc.
Monocotyledonous plants have parallel venation.
In Monocot adventitious root system is present.
Example:rice,grass,etc.
Dicot
The plants which contain two cotyledons or two seed leaves in their seeds.
Dicotyledonous plants have leaves with reticulate venation.
In dicot tap root system is present.
Example:Pea,rose,etc.
(iii) Autotrophs and Heterotrophs
Autotrophs
Autotrophs are organisms that prepare their own food.
These are known as the producers and include green plants, algae and a few photosynthetic bacteria.
Heterotrophs
Heterotrophs depend upon other organisms for nutrition.
These are the consumers and include cows, buffaloes, tigers, horses, etc.
(iv) Bacteria and amoeba
Bacteria
Bacteria is a simple prokaryotic microorganism having an extremely small shape.
They are found everywhere air,water,soil,the bodies of humans,plants and animals.
They are visible only under a high powered light microscope.
Amoeba
Amoeba is the eukaryotic organism which has no definite form or shape.
Amoeba is found in ponds,ditches and other places with stagnating water.
They can be seen under the microscope only.
(v)Mosses and ferns
Mosses
Mosses are small,nonvascular plants that do not have a true root,stem,and leaves and reproduce by the production of spores in staled capsules.
Belong to the phylum Bryophyta.
Ferns
Ferns are flowerless vascular plants with leafy fronds that mainly reproduce by the production of spores.
Belong to the phylum Pteridophyta.
(vi) Angiosperms and gymnosperms
Angiosperms
Angiosperms can be herbs,shrubs and trees.
In this flowers and fruits are present.
In this reproductive structures are unisexual and bisexual flowers.
Example:Grass,sugarcane, etc.
Gymnosperms
Gymnosperms are mostly woody trees.
In this flowers and fruits are absent.
Reproductive structures are unisexual cones(male and female)that bear the seeds.
Example:Pine,cedar,etc.
