1. An organism that can make its own food – Autotroph
2. A symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which one species benefits and no effect is apparent to the other species – Commensalism.
3. A cell that has a membrane-bound nucleus and/or organelles as its major characteristic -Eukaryote.
4. The study of organisms that are too small to be seen with the naked eye - Microbiology.
5. A disease-causing organism - A germ pathogen.
6. A one- or few-celled organism with chromosomes; may have characteristics of both animals and plants – Protist.
An autotroph is an organism that produces its own food from simple substances available in its environment. Autotrophs usually use inorganic chemical reactions or light energy in producing their food and are usually the producers in a food chain. Examples of autotrophs are plants and algae.
Commensalism is a type of relationship between organisms of two species where one organism benefits from the relationship and the other organism is not affected by it (neither benefits nor harmed).
Answer: The correct option is D(Some produce toxic agents in the water).
Explanation:
Dinoflagellates are found in the phylum Dinoflagellata which are single celled organisms. They are mostly found in the ocean while few of them can live in streams, freshwater ponds and rivers. The following characteristics can be used to identify a Dinoflagellates, these include:
--> they are golden brown
--> they possess assimilative cell with indented waist.
--> they possess large nucleus with visible chromosomes.
It has been reported that many dinoflagellate species can produce various natural toxins. These toxins can be extremely toxic and many of them are effective at far lower dosages than conventional chemical agents. Therefore the option, Some produce toxic agents in the water, is a correct statement.
A physical property is an aspect of matter that can be observed or measured without changing it. A chemical property may only be observed by changing the chemical identity of a substance.
Answer:
(a) The grains which are termed as millets are Amaranth, Barnyard, buckwheat, kodu, sorghum, bajra, Kangani, and Ragi.
(b) The following are the advantages of millet due to which they are given more preference than wheat and rice:
1. Millet's are free of gluten, a protein digestion of which is very difficult by the body.
2. When we compare the protein content of rice, wheat and millet, it is found that millet has high protein content.
3. In all aspects of components of nutrients called as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals and vitamins, millet is in prime position and is also easy to digest.
