Consider statements about microorganisms: 1. Algae are photosynthetic. 2. Protozoa are multicellular. 3. Fungi reproduce by spores. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Algae are a diverse group of photosynthetic, eukaryotic organisms ranging from unicellular to multicellular forms. Protozoa are unicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotic organisms, not multicellular. Fungi typically reproduce asexually and sexually through the formation of spores, which are dispersed to form new individuals. Thus, statements 1 and 3 are correct.

In a reflex arc, the component that carries the response signal to the effector organ is the:
A. Sensory neuron
B. Motor neuron
C. Interneuron
D. Receptor

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A reflex arc is the neural pathway that controls a reflex action. It typically involves: a receptor (detects stimulus), a sensory neuron (carries impulse to CNS), an interneuron (in the spinal cord), a motor neuron (carries impulse away from CNS), and an effector organ (muscle or gland that responds). The motor neuron is responsible for the final output.
