Euglenoids are placed in which kingdom of the five-kingdom classification?
A. Fungi
B. Protista
C. Plantae
D. Monera
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Euglenoids are unicellular eukaryotic organisms that possess characteristics of both plants (chloroplasts for photosynthesis) and animals (lack of a cell wall and presence of a flagellum for movement). Due to their unique features and unicellular nature, they are classified under the Kingdom Protista.

Question #2
Consider statements about genetics: 1. DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose. 2. RNA contains the sugar ribose. 3. DNA is single-stranded. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is characterized by the presence of the pentose sugar deoxyribose in its nucleotide backbone. RNA (ribonucleic acid) contains the pentose sugar ribose. DNA is typically a double-stranded helical molecule, providing stability for long-term genetic storage. RNA is generally single-stranded, allowing it to fold into complex shapes and perform various functional roles like mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #3
The structure that prevents the collapse of the trachea during breathing is:
A. Smooth muscle
B. Fibrous tissue
C. C-shaped cartilaginous rings
D. Ciliated epithelium

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The tracheal wall contains C-shaped hyaline cartilage rings that keep the airway open, preventing collapse due to negative pressure during inspiration. Smooth muscle and fibrous tissue connect the rings, ciliated epithelium sweeps mucus upward.
