• Positive phototaxis
• Photoperiodism
• Negative phototaxis
• Autotrophism
Answer: Negative phototaxisMovement of organisms in response to sunlight is known as phototaxis. Earthworms exhibit negative phototaxis, while green flagellates exhibit positive phototaxis.
13. Which is a by-product of photosynthesis ?
• Oxygen
• Carbon dioxide
• Nitrogen
• ATP
Answer: OxygenIn the presence of sunlight, plants utilize CO2 to prepare their food. This can be expressed as: carbon dioxide + water ------> glucose + water + oxygen

• Photosynthesis
• Photokinesis
• Chemosynthesis
Answer: PhotosynthesisIn the presence of sunlight, plants utilize CO2 to prepare their food. This can be expressed as: carbon dioxide + water ------> glucose + water + oxygen
17. Light energy is converted into chemical energy by the process of
• Photokinesis
• Photoperiodism
• Photosynthesis
• Symbiosis
Answer: PhotosynthesisIn the presence of sunlight (light energy), plants utilize CO2 to prepare their food (chemical energy). This can be expressed as: carbon dioxide + water ------> glucose + water + oxygen
18. The response of plants to light is known as
• Chemotropism
• Thigmotropism
• Phototropism
• Hydrotropism
Answer: Phototropism
19. Autotrophic component of the ecosystem
• Producers
• Consumers
• Decomposers
• All of these
Answer: ProducersEcosystem has two components : biotic or living and abiotic or non-living. Biotic components include producers (autotrophic components i.e., plants), consumers and decomposers. Abiotic components include organic and inorganic substances and environmental factors.
20. Nitrogen-fixing bacterium
• Lactobacillus
• Rhizobium
• Clostridium
• Salmonella
Answer: RhizobiumRhizobium is found in root nodules of pea. It gets its nourishment from these plants. In turn, it provides nitrates to the plants which are used in protein synthesis. This is a good example of symbiosis.
21. Interaction between organisms of different species so as to get benefit from each other is known as
• Saprophytism
• Symbiosis
• Predation
• Etiolation
Answer: SymbiosisRhizobium is found in root nodules of pea. It gets its nourishment from these plants. In turn, it provides nitrates to the plants which are used in protein synthesis. This is a good example of symbiosis.
22. Which is not true regarding parasites ?
• They live on or inside the other organism.
• They derive their food from the organism on which they live.
• They are always beneficial to the other organism.
• Leech is a parasite.
Answer: They are always beneficial to the other organism.Parasites derive their nutrition from the organism on which they live and thus deprive the organism of those nutrients.
23. Which is not a 'biotic part' of the ecosystem ?
• Plants
• Insects
• Water
• Bacteria
Answer: WaterEcosystem has two components : biotic or living and abiotic or non-living. Biotic components include producers, consumers and decomposers. Abiotic components include organic and inorganic substances and environmental factors.
24. Which is not a 'nonrenewable' source of energy ?
• Coal
• Petrol
• Wind
• Soil
Answer: Wind
25. Which fungus is used in making bread?
• Yeast
• Aspergillus
• Penicillium

26. Belladona has medicinal properties.
• False
• True
Answer: TrueBelladona is a herb used in praparing many drugs.
27. Saprophytes derive their food from dead organisms.
• True
• False
Answer: True
28. Silk fibre is produced by certain insects.
• False
• True
Answer: TrueSilk fibres are produced by silkworms to form a protective covering (cocoon) around themselves.
29. Water is used to produce electricity.
• False
• True
Answer: TrueElectricity produced with the help of water is known as hydroelectricity. Water falling from a height causes rotation of turbines which in turn causes movement of generators to produce electricity.
